Animal Crossing: New Horizons gives players more content than ever before. But no matter how you like to spend your time, there are a few things every good villager should do on a daily basis. The following laundry list can probably be knocked out within a half hour or so — depending on how developed your island is — and will help turn your deserted chunk of land into a booming oasis....
During the surprise Nintendo Direct Mini last month, the company revealed that Animal Crossing: New Horizons would be receiving an update to coincide with Earth Day. Earth Day, for those unaware, will be happening on April 22. A national day dedicated to restoring the planet we live on, there’s an absolutely perfect character within Animal Crossing to host it: Leif! The Direct Mini showed a picture of Leif, so we already know he’ll be returning....

Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment’s own take on the popular battle-royale craze set within the Titanfall universe, seems to be enjoying a surprise success following its sudden announcement and release, and it looks like every other day, a new piece of info is leaked. Most recently, dataminers were able to uncover details about the title’s upcoming Battle Pass, and only a short while after that, it looks as if rocket launchers will be added to the game soon....

Apple has officially named Genshin Impact as the best iPhone game of 2020, awarding Mihoyo’s critically-acclaimed RPG the first of what could potentially be several end-of-year accolades. Genshin Impact may have only launched two months ago, but it has taken the world by storm ever since. Despite the fact we reckon Genshin Impact should have launched with mobile support, it raked in a whopping $250 million in its first month alone, making it one of the biggest mobile launches of all time across both iPhone and Android....
Zack Snyder’s imminently-arriving “Snyder Cut” of 2017’s Justice League may be the dominant topic about the director, but his hiatus-breaking comeback with Netflix film Army of the Dead also draws near. Interestingly, while there’s still no release date for said film, it appears that its streaming giant platform is already planning to expand the zombie-battling franchise with a prequel movie and anime series. Yes, folks, an “ArmyoftheDeadverse” is nigh at Netflix....
The 2000s have been very kind to the Disney Company. The animation giant has been steadily creating amazing content for decades but the new age has allowed Disney to extend its reach to the masses. One could argue that the Disney Channel really hit its stride in the early 2000s, cranking out masterpieces like Even Stevens, Kim Possible, The Proud Family, and a variety of other popular shows. Their success wasn’t limited to television either....
The Marvel Cinematic Universe, or MCU, is as well-known as it is expansive. For a while, it even included the highest-grossing movie that wasn’t directed by James Cameron. But I think we can all admit that sometimes, it just doesn’t make any sense at all! Here at TheGamer, we’ve scoured the Internet for memes of everything from The Incredible Hulk to the upcoming Infinity War to show just how ridiculous this extensive series can get!...
Hollywood has traditionally overlooked Thanksgiving in favor of literally any other holiday. Christmas has thousands of movies, Halloween has hundreds, and Thanksgiving has about two (all numbers rough estimates). Which is a pity! The best Thanksgiving movie, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, is also the best holiday movie. It is a lean, 90-minute film about two men yearning for home. Unconstrained by the tinselly pomp that is de rigueur for the holiday genre, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is at turns side-splittingly funny and throat-tighteningly sad....
Nintendo has been known for pushing boundaries and experimenting with interesting new ideas. This translates not only to their games but also their controllers, which have been pretty unconventional and unique ever since the ’90s. These distinct designs and additions have proven to be a double-edged sword for many. Nintendo’s peculiar GameCube controller is a prime example of this. It has a number of elements that work, and may even excel over other devices....
Microsoft is desperate to bounce back after the relative failure of the Xbox One, which stumbled right out of the gate. Now, with competition heating up and the 2020 holiday season on the horizon, it’s time to see how their Xbox Series X compares to their previous systems. The Xbox Series X is shaping up to be one of, if not the most powerful gaming console ever released. It’s going head-to-head against the PlayStation 5 this holiday season, which means the time has come to examine the console and see where Microsoft has hit the bullseye, and where it has fallen short....
The Paper Mario: The Origami King trailer surprised us this week when it premiered without an accompanying Nintendo Direct livestream. The 2-minute trailer is jam-packed with exciting details about the upcoming game. Here are 5 hidden details you may have missed from the Paper: Mario: The Origami King trailer. 5 That’s Not Actually Peach! The trailer begins with an origami Peach emerging from the shadows within Peach’s Castle and addressing Mario with the most haunting question ever posed in a Nintendo game....
Everybody knows about chess. Star Trek fans probably also know about 3D chess, which is a real thing that you can actually play if you can wrap your mind around it. And now, thanks to Thunkverse developer Conor Petersen, we have 5D Chess, a new game “with spatial, temporal, and parallel dimensions.” I can already hear your gears grinding at the mere thought of additional dimensions, but I’ll do my best to keep this explanation simple....
The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild revolutionized the iconic franchise with its epic open-world. Alongside this, the game’s narrative wonderfully paid homage to past Zelda games, making Breath Of The Wild a strong entry in the franchise. This careful balance between revolution and preservation is what made the game so popular amongst fans and critics alike. However, there are some notable omissions in Breath Of The Wild which stand out as staples that many fans would think the games must almost always feature....
Capcom is looking to keep its hot streak going as it has secretly been working on a brand new Ghosts n Goblins game. Not only is Arthur finally making his return to gaming, but this latest entry is mere months away. Titled Ghosts ’n Goblins Resurrection, the game is scheduled for a February 25, 2021 release date and appears to be a Switch exclusive. Along with this long-awaited revival, Capcom will be releasing an arcade compilation package on the Switch that will launch with some free games....
Earlier today, it was reported that Activision-Blizzard would be laying off 50 people involved with the company’s live events and esports programming. Now, thanks to Jason Schreier, who broke the original story, we have learned more about the severance package offered to the unfortunate employees, which apparently included gift cards for Blizzard’s online store. Lay-offs can, unfortunately, be a pervasive part of the game industry. Studios are often known to hire more employees as production on a game ramps up and then lay them off once the game is finished....
Gamers are really “feline” Neko Ghost Jump! as it just got funded on KickStarter with over $15,000 raised. With 2 days to go, the developer Burgos Games has added a stretch goal for a Limited Lives Mode; you only have 9 lives and then your game save is deleted. Neko Ghost Jump! is inspired by Super Paper Mario on the Nintendo Wii. As the player, you can switch the perspective from 2D to 3D and vice versa, creating a cool mechanic for solving puzzles....
Tuesday saw the reveal of All Elite Wrestling’s current video game plans. The wrestling company announced three different games currently in development, including two mobile games. But most of AEW’s focus was on its “best in class” console game, a modern wrestling game that AEW hopes will compete with WWE’s annual releases. There’s good reason to believe AEW’s off to a great start, as it’s partnering with studio Yuke’s for the game....
While all the voice-activated stuff is great, there are times when you just need to connect to a regular Bluetooth speaker. Sometimes that method is more convenient, especially if you want to play a file that’s on your phone. Thankfully, Echo does that too. In this guide, we’ll show you how to connect to it from your phone to use it as a Bluetooth speaker. We’ll also show you how to connect your Echo to another Bluetooth audio device....
