The major appeal of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the social aspect, allowing players to visit friends without ever having to leave the comfort of their home. Players can pick up their belongings and travel to a new island, designed and owned by their friend, and hang out with them amongst the fruit trees and residential houses. When visiting a friend, there are certain things you can do on their island and certain things that you can but probably shouldn’t — or at least ask first....

It appears Anthem is cracking down on exploits in its game and has begun issuing permanent bans to those who use them. This is a new precedent for a game whose focus is on PvE and is certain to cause uproar within the Anthem community. While it’s unclear how widespread the bans are, the first we heard of them was from content creator Gladd. A longstanding member of the Destiny community and challenge runner, Gladd posted a video this weekend explaining that he had been permanently banned from Anthem for “economy exploitation....

Dracula is the most prolific character in cinema. Really. According to Guinness World Records, the not-so-good count even beats out Sherlock Holmes as the literary character adapted more than any other. Perhaps that’s why learning Universal Pictures has two new Dracula movies in production barely raises an eyebrow. Yet to hear a new interpretation of the vampire’s original cinematic incarnation is in the works—to hear that Robert Eggers and Anya Taylor-Joy are at last remaking Nosferatu?...

Sparklaphobia is an uncommon ailment in which sufferers fear glitter - it’s something often overlooked due to its rarity, but items like the Bocek Bow’s arrows can trigger an uneasy feeling in those with the phobia. One user shared this revelation on Reddit, and Respawn’s director of communications swiftly responded. “I’ve been an avid player since Season 0, and this is the first season that I can’t play,” Reddit user sky-m1n opened, “The Bocek Bow’s arrow fetching and the pulsing yellow highlight are the problems....

Apex Legends Season 6 has officially begun, meaning most fans are probably already feverishly playing it right now to unlock all the new rewards from its Battle Pass as soon as possible. For anyone who has yet to jump in, though, and would rather know what they’re getting into beforehand, EA has provided a full list of updates, additions, and changes that have gone live in Apex Legends, just so everyone can be up to speed....

In 2021 Apple joined the Bluetooth tracking fray, moving into the market that was very much established by Tile a number of years earlier. Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag and SmartTag+ was announced in early 2021, but is actually a second-gen device from Samsung, who originally launched the SmartThings Tracker, an LTE device, in 2018. Suddenly the Bluetooth tracker market is a congested space, so here’s how these three platforms compare. System compatibility Apple Find My Samsung SmartThings Find Tile app Let’s start with the obvious points: Apple AirTag works with Find My, which is only on Apple devices....

One of the new creatures added as part of the new DLC called Genesis Part 2 in Ark: Survival Evolved is a Tek Stryder. Players are rushing to tame it, but many don’t understand the process of how to go about doing so. It might seem pretty straightforward, although there are several steps you have to take to tame this creature successfully. The great thing about the Tek Stryder is that it has a built-in saddle and each one spawns with a variety of rigs to help you perform various tasks....

Two years ago, Ubisoft revealed that it was planning to place the Assassin’s Creed franchise on the shelf to let the series refocus after a grueling annual release schedule that formed following the release of Assassin’s Creed 2 back in 2009. The move paid dividends for Ubisoft as Assassin’s Creed Origins reimagined the franchise by adding in stronger RPG elements and letting players explore a timeline before the traditional Assassins versus Templars conflict....

No event in history is more important than the people who are affected by it. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla understands this wisdom well and introduces a slew of new characters throughout the game that players learn to love, hate, embrace, and grieve. Lincolncscire offers a little bit of all of that with a host of NPCs for Eivor to interact with. Still, the region is not a cakewalk by any means and there are more stages in this questline than the questlines leading up to it....

An Island of Eels is the next quest in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla after The Stench of Treachery. This quest tasks you with finding and defeating Wigmund, the Saxon who took Grantebridge from Soma earlier on. An Island of Eels is the first main quest that plays out in very different ways depending on previous decisions you made, so you should definitely check out our The Stench of Treachery guide first, which is linked above....

The Grand Theft Auto series is so diverse that these awesome tidbits might’ve completely gone over your head. Open world games might not even hold the importance they do in today’s day-and-age if it wasn’t for the prominence of one particular series that took over the gaming world by storm with its transition to 3D. If the title of this article wasn’t enough of a giveaway as is, then let us state that we’re talking about the legendary Grand Theft Auto series....

Is there anything more exciting in the entire galaxy than Star Wars? The suspense, the thrills, the effects, the characters, and the storytelling allow it to reign supreme in the Sci-Fi genre. It’s not just a film franchise either, everything George Lucas’ blockbuster hit has spawned since the first time A New Hope played in theater has been pure gold (Save for one Christmas Special). From the prequel trilogies to the Knights of the Old Republic, all the way to the Clone Wars cartoons and every book, short, special, and comic strip in-between, fans and casual viewers alike cannot get enough of the epic Space Opera that has been blowing minds and box office records for the better part of a century....

Nobody likes their game to be a grind–that’s why it’s called a grind. And when a game feels like a job, that’s generally when players decide to quit for something a little more fun. 343 Industries is well aware of how live-service games often get bogged down with grind, and that’s why the devs have created four pillars for Halo Infinite to respect a player’s time. Live team design director Ryan Paradis and progression director Chris Blohm laid out those four pillars in a new interview posted on Halo Waypoint....

2020 has been a transformative year for everybody; but for the games industry, it was a swan song for the previous console generation and a transitional period to the next one full of tons of surprises. Ready to clear out the closet for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, developers everywhere busted out a fine competition of new games and beloved franchises to create some real highlights for a dreary year....

It’s not often that a show going into only its third season receives a spinoff, but such was the case with Fox’s popular first responder series 9-1-1. That Los Angeles-set series gave way to the Rob Lowe-starring 9-1-1: Lone Star, which premiered on Jan. 19, 2020. The spinoff experiment was a successful one and now 9-1-1: Lone Star season 2 is set to arrive one year later. Perhaps there’s never been a better time for two simultaneously running shows about 911 first responders....

Back in the day, Ubisoft used to make this amazing stealth-action series called Splinter Cell. It featured tough-guy-with-a-heart-of-gold superspy Sam Fisher, expertly voiced by veteran live-action actor Michael Ironside. Ironside imbued Fisher with a sense of urgency, grit, experience, and, above all else, levity. Somehow, they managed to make this world-weary shadow of a man relatable and really dang funny sometimes. In the early half of the franchise, Fisher provided some hilarious quick-witted retorts....

Alright, buckle up Witcher fans - your ultimate wish has finally been granted. Assuming that your ultimate wish in life is to have a nude Geralt of Rivia following you around Skyrim, which sounds like a pretty reasonable assumption. Skyrim’s modding community is one of the biggest, most active (and creative) out there, with a good 60,000 mods for the game currently listed on the Nexus Mods site. Amongst them you’ll find a bit of everything - the awesome (like adding Morrowind creatures to your game), the funny (like replacing mudcrabs with Futurama’s Dr Zoiberg) the wholesome (like giving backpacks to your dogs), and the…not-so-wholesome....

Adam Orth: for some he was a martyr, but for many he was the personification of the video game industry’s most anti-consumer policies. One tweet and one hashtag was all it took for the former Microsoft creative director to turn the gaming masses against him. The fiasco - which occurred back in April of this year - centered on Orth’s apathy towards gamers who did not have a level of internet access necessary to use Microsoft’s then unannounced, always-online Xbox One....

The upcoming Resident Evil Showcase may finally bring a long-rumored project to light. A seemingly innocent retweet from Oculus’ Director of Content hints that the showcase will offer news on a VR Resident Evil title, possibly Resident Evil 4. Earlier this week, the official Resident Evil twitter account reminded fans that the upcoming Resident Evil Showcase would be occurring on April 15 at 3pm PT/11pm BST. The tweet was fairly standard, noting that fans can expect a new trailer and some surprises that “you won’t want to miss!...
