Someone has created a Twitter account entirely comprised of videos of Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Tom Nook and Isabelle dancing to iconic songs - and it’s thoroughly amazing. The @TomAndIsabelleDanceTo Twitter account, run by users @DanielTG85 and @Blu_Canvas, is full of adorable video edits of Tom Nook and Isabelle doing their signature jazzercise routine in the Resident Services building. Except instead of Animal Crossing music, they’re dancing to some of the biggest bops in music history....

Formerly a developer on the rework of Anthem, Christian Dailey has now become executive producer of the Dragon Age team. This move comes alongside news that Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah will be leaving Bioware. Casey Hudson announced in a blog post earlier today that he and Mark Darrah would be stepping down from Bioware in order to pursue other opportunities. It was Mark Darrah’s departure that led to Christian Dailey’s position being changed....

Apex Legends releases new comic strips every season that depicts a new segment of the story. Season 8 is no different as players are given bits and pieces as the season progresses. The newest segment was just released on March 30, 2021, and it provides a deep dive into the relationship and quarrel between Fuse and Mad Maggie. Players are interested in learning about these new developments as it not only connects to the current Apex Legend’s events but gives insight into the future of the game....

Ever since Season 6 of Apex Legends began last month, players have been reporting on numerous issues that require fixing, be they minor bugs or game-breaking glitches, such as one that prevents players from reviving their teammates. In some cases, though, these issues can be harmless. Recently, one player discovered one that allowed playable Legend Mirage’s decoys to fly into the air, which has no real gameplay benefit, nor does it jeopardize the game itself....

Apple announced three smartwatches at its September 2022 event, in the form of the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Ultra. The three models were revealed alongside the iPhone 14 range. We’ve covered off the next generation Apple Watch SE in a separate feature, and we have a feature for the rugged Apple Watch Ultra model too. Here’s everything you need to know about the Apple Watch Series 8....

Apple will be reponing stores after closing them early in the year due to the coronavirus. Apple originally closed down its stores in March, reopened in May, and closed down again in June. Apple hopes to keep its doors open again for the holiday season. According to a Bloomberg report, Apple is planning to reopen its stores with extra cautions in terms of COVID-19 protections. The California-based tech company will require customers to schedule appointments to visit the stores in most locations, though the exact date of when the stores may open is not yet known, and Apple has not yet responded....

The Assassin’s Creed series is one of Ubisoft’s most popular franchises, but as the story has continued, the series has not been without its holes in the timeline. After all, it jumps hundred of years sometimes, but there’s one big one where a lot of unexplained events just have to be accepted. Assassin’s Creed 3, Assassin’s Creed Rogue and Assassin’s Creed Unity establish facts about the timeline of the Assassin’s Creed universe which leave a glaring hole in the timeline with each new game that is announced....

From the moment it was announced this March, Assassin’s Creed III epitomized a stake raised. Whether it was revealing the massive campaign, the American Revolution-colonial setting (the biggest world map in the series to date), or the clandestine three-year development process following Assassin’s Creed II, long-time developer/publisher Ubisoft made it clear they were committed to growth and evolution in all regards. If you don’t believe us, just look at their marketing budget....

The Assassin’s Creed series is one of Ubisoft’s longest-running, with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla set to join the lineup later this fall. Because of the sheer length, there are titles that are closely related like the Ezio trilogy or the North American trilogy, while others cannot be more different (Assassin’s Creed 3 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, for example). It’s been clear, though, that Valhalla could be connected to two older games since before it was officially Valhalla....

After reaching Asgard in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, players will be sent to a nearby cave as part of a quest called Well-Traveled. Upon entering this cave, fans will encounter a puzzle that centers around beams of light and pillars with orbs on top, and they will need to solve it in order to unseal the Well of Urd and continue on their journeys. While this may initially seem quite challenging, solving this light puzzle in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla requires only a few steps....

San Francisco-based RadioFree.net recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for its first large-scale project, to produce the video game Illuminati Confirmed. The Kickstarter project has a goal of $210,000, and as of this writing has been pledged about $35,600 towards it, with 27 days remaining. If the title Illuminati Confirmed sounds familiar, it may be that you remember the original award-winning 1994 Steve Jackson Games card game Illuminati: New World Order. RadioFree....

Talking to someone who doesn’t really play or know much about video games can sometimes be a process, and a little difficult, but one game that almost all gamers, and non-gamers know about is Grand Theft Auto. Grand Theft Auto has been a beloved fan favorite since the first Grand Theft Auto made its debut in 1997. Rockstar gave gamers a world that took them to a place that was different, and exciting....

With every incredible movie series, TV show, or fictional saga comes a dedicated and passionate fandom. These fans demonstrate their love for their favorite fictional universe not only by devouring all of the canon media available but by creating their own material too. Fanart, fanfiction, fan comics… They’re all inevitable products of a successful franchise! The Star Wars universe is no exception to this rule. Ever since the first movie’s release in the 1970s, ardent fans have been creating astounding pieces of art in homage to their favorite characters....

The Legend of Zelda has a lot of good humor, beautiful art, and plenty of stories. Perfect for comics! From creepy masks to chicken hoards, there is a lot to delve into! There are especially tons of Breath of the Wild comics due to the Nintendo Switch game being the most recent addition of The Legend of Zelda franchise. A lot of artists have been using comics to document their ideas but also experiences in the game....

This barrage of content makes it much harder for parents to keep track of what is appropriate for their little children to be playing and what isn’t. For the purposes of this article, we will define “children” as those aged 12 years old and under. While as a gamer and journalist I am against censorship, there are some games which, in my opinion, don’t belong in the hands of young children....

Many fans of fantasy RPGs, like World of Warcraft or Dungeons and Dragons, have ’to be read’ piles that they will never finish. Responsible people would probably scrutinize this condition and try to keep their spending habits in check, but many fantasy reader/gamer-hybrids have long since come to terms with the truth: it simply isn’t possible. Like the all-consuming need to level up in a game, acquiring quests in perpetuity is a bone deep compulsion that one must simply come to terms with....

The 1980s doesn’t feel like the distant memory that it probably should considering how long ago it was. We are seeing reboots of movies and TV shows from the 80s, bands that started in the 80s are still making music, and some of modern video gaming’s most beloved and top-selling franchises got their start in the 80s. That said, there are also things about the 80s that remind us of how long ago the decade truly was—we’re just a couple years shy of being able to say that the 80s was “forty years ago....

The beginning-of-the-year video game release lull finally comes to an end this week with Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and Thief finally releasing, the latter of which representing one of Game Rant’s most anticipated games of 2014. Thief, while the the long-awaited four installment in the stealth series, brings the franchise back after nearly a decade as a reboot of sorts. Built by Eidos Montreal, the same developers who successfully returned another classic PC franchise with 2011’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution, have been battling fan feedback (read: backlash) to find the right set of offerings in gameplay and newness, as a title releasing during the hectic console generation transition period....

The studio head at Halo developer 343 Industries announces he’s leaving the Halo franchise after seven years to move into independent game development. As Halo celebrates its 15th anniversary, another announcement comes from the studio shepherding the long-running franchise. Josh Holmes, who served as the creative director on Halo 4 and Studio Head of FPS game development at 343 Industries since then, is leaving the studio to pursue independent game development....
