A couple of weeks ago, Rovio left gamers scratching their heads when they began teasing Angry Birds 2. The company revealed a logo for the first true sequel in the series (which also has countless spinoffs to its name), and promised more information to come on July 28th. Well, when July 28th came, by “more information”, we learned that Rovio outright decided to launch the game that very same day across Android and iOS devices....
With a roster of close to 500 villagers, you would think that Animal Crossing players would have no issues populating their various villages or islands. But the problem is everyone appears to want very specific villagers, and one of the most popular ones out there is Marshal, a smug squirrel that fans of the game can’t seem to stop going crazy over. Following the release of the latest game in the series, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, his popularity had reached an all-time high....
As you explore your new home in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you’ve no doubt come across a wide variety of bugs.

If you’re hoping to complete the Museum catalog, the Mole Cricket will eventually have to be scooped up in your net....
Empty-handed. That’s how you’ll start Animal Crossing: New Horizons. All you’ll have are the clothes on your back as you touch down on your island for the first time. After exchanging some cordial introductions with other villagers, Tom Nook and the twins will set you up with your very own tent and some simple DIY recipes. The recipes you’ll receive at the very start of the game include things like the flimsy fishing rod, a campfire, a leaf umbrella, and a net....
While much of the conversation after Anthem’s launch has centered around its troubled development and the delay of content promised by its 90 day roadmap, one of the biggest controversies at launch was its tendency to cause full system crashes on PS4. While there hasn’t been much evidence that Anthem bricked PS4s as some have claimed, the full system crash bug was still a serious issue, and it was enough of a problem that Sony apparently issued refunds for the game....
Whoever said that delivery is everything with respect to jokes wasn’t kidding. Blizzard Entertainment is finding out the hard way that sometimes tongue-in-cheek humor doesn’t play with a crowd of hardcore World of Warcraft fans. Then again, there is substantial evidence to suggest that Blizzard went well beyond the bounds of good taste with a video presentation made during BlizzCon this year. Fans are outraged at a video presentation that is staunchly anti-Alliance and homophobic....
Apex Legends recently received a new map for Season 7, Olympus, and while many players have been enjoying it, a few have been reporting problems. One major issue sees Apex Legends fans getting stuck in a certain spot on the new map, with the bugged location quickly killing them after they’re trapped. Olympus features hidden details, but unlucky Legends that have stumbled upon the map’s so-called “death spot” may have preferred if this frustrating issue stayed undiscovered....

The Assassin’s Creed pits Assassins and Templars against each other to retrieve Pieces of Eden. While most of the games focus on an Assassin protagonist, the beginning of Assassin’s Creed III and Assassin’s Creed: Rogue both feature playable Templar protagonists, with Haytham Kenway and Shay Cormac respectively. The Templars are known to be brutal and have no regard for any person that might get in the way of their mission. Despite this, a few Templars have marked their place in the Templar Order, either by wiping out Assassin cells or by giving their lives for the Order....
A fan has claimed that Assassin’s Creed art director Rafael Lacoste recently told them that “AC Persia is inevitable, do not worry,” meaning that Ubisoft’s iconic franchise could have its sights set on Iran. The news comes from Twitter, where an Assassin’s Creed fan recently posted a photo of their trip to Alamut Castle in Iran. Apparently, this person sent the same photo to Lacoste with the caption, “So when is Iran coming?...

The 90s was a great time for experimental cartoons. Many networks were playing around with what they could and couldn’t get away with in animation, and they were constantly pushing those limits. It was a time for strange imagery, jokes that went over your head as a kid (Animaniacs was infamous for this), and some pretty interesting characters. Female characters in 90s cartoons were also going through their own changes. We were getting more interesting female characters that were more than just the token girl....
Like it or not, crowdfunding campaigns have become a staple for developers in the gaming industry. While only a third of Kickstarter games actually manage to deliver on their promises, more new and veteran developers alike are beginning to propose their projects on the website in hopes that their dream games can be made. Sometimes, critically acclaimed wonders like The Banner Saga are created, but unfortunately for developers as well as fans, not all projects are success stories....

Pretty much as soon as the first Harry Potter book hit the shelves back in 1997, the franchise became a worldwide phenomenon. Everyone was enthralled by JK Rowling’s tales of The Boy Who Lived, and the release of each new book became an international event. Fans speculated wildly about what might happen in each new installment – how would Harry overcome Lord Voldemort? Who would live, and who would perish? Would Ron and Hermione ever just get together already?...
Video games are incredible in the sense that they have the power to take us to places we’ve never been before or ever imagined were possible. With the rising power of virtual reality gaming technology, the power of video games is also exponentially rising. One of the uncanny abilities of video games is to remove the player from reality and break down the player’s barriers of social order and idea of normality as they know it....
Frieza isn’t just one of the greatest villains in anime or manga history, he’s one of the greatest villains in fiction, period. Frieza’s introduction marked a serious change for Dragon Ball. It had already been a dramatic manga since Demon King Piccolo was introduced, but Frieza created an archetype that DB, and by extension Shonen manga, would follow for years to come. Villains were conniving with deceptively simple motivations; they had intimate connections to the main characters and a sharp tongue for banter; and they could transform to level the playing field in their favor....
The already limited eShop serving Nintendo’s Wii U and 3DS will be shutting down in 42 countries later this year. The Nintendo Switch continues to enjoy massive popularity three years on from its original release. As is the case when any new console comes around, the ones that preceded it gradually fall away and become nothing more than another part of gaming history. That continues to happen to the Wii U and 3DS....

The classic side-scrolling style started off with Super Mario on the Nintendo Entertainment with the latest entry being New Super Mario Bros....
As one of the best selling games of 2014, Bungie’s Destiny has a massive and highly active player base.

Although there may be plenty of dedicated Destiny players out there, they may not know all the game has to offer and how to best take advantage of it....
