Wherever discussion of the Animal Crossing series pops up (everywhere on social media, for starters, thanks to the phenomenal success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons), you can bet that the V word is going to feature heavily. It’s always all about the villagers. Which are the rarest? Which are the best? Which are the worst? Which are the most valuable? The debates never end. This is completely understandable, of course. After all, what’s a meticulously crafted island without the right residents?...

People are constantly discovering new things about Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and folks on Reddit may have just uncovered what decides the color of the furniture you can find in Nook’s Cranny and the Nook Miles store: your airport roof design. That’s right, your airport, which you’d think would be completely unrelated to anything you’d find in a Nook store. The airport can have one of three roof colors: orange, blue, yellow, and green, and according to a hypothesis by Reddit user PraiseHolo, these randomly-assigned colors will correspond to the designs of certain pieces of furniture....

Being able to customize the entire island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the best parts of the game for many players. Through the use of furniture and DIY items, players can customize every inch of their island to look however they want. From city-themed islands to more natural ones, some players are getting super creative. But, as anyone who has played will know, the island is massive and it can be tough to decide how to fill that space....

After years of hype and anticipation, Anthem may very well go down as one of the biggest flops of this entire generation. The game stands as one of the lowest-rated BioWare games in history, it failed to meet EA’s sales expectations, and now it reportedly has about 2,500 concurrent active players on Xbox One in North America, which is disastrous for a live-service game. This is according to Reddit user _Robbie, who discovered that Anthem isn’t even currently in the top 50 most-played Xbox Live games....

It’s been almost a year since BioWare has released any new information on their newest IP Anthem. Joining Bethesda and Nintendo in teasing their new projects ahead of E3, the Mass Effect developers seem to be gearing up for something big after sending a mysterious message and changing their Facebook header. The Anthem Facebook page has been inactive since last year, so BioWare could be releasing something ahead of the big event....

Season 7 of Apex Legends is set to begin in just a couple of days, on November 4, 2020. Leading up to the release of the newest season, Respawn Entertainment has been sharing information about what will be in store for fans, including the fact that Apex Legends will see a new hop-up for the Wingman and RE-45. The newest bit from Respawn includes the changes that the Legends will see, as buffs and nerfs are on the way....

2020’s most adorable platformer, Ary and the Secret of Seasons, has launched on Google Stadia. Currently available at $39.99, this charming indie features Ary, a girl trying to save the world from the devastation of the seasons. Like a Legend of Zelda game, she must conquer temples, solve puzzles, and fight enemies along the way. It isn’t a clone though, which is a thing the gaming community loves to call projects like this....

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is a historical fiction action-adventure video game set in ancient Greece. As you venture through the world, opening up new regions to explore, XP hunting can quickly become necessary. There are two kinds of ways to ensure you’re getting the most XP out of your time in-game. While you may be in need of a quick boost to be high-leveled enough for another region or quest, there are steps you can take afterward to ensure you never have to bother XP hunting again....

Although there are a plethora of false rumors and leaks out there, there’s little doubt that the next Assassin’s Creed title will be set in the Viking Era. There’s simply too much evidence and high-profile corroborations to suggest such, and while the fan-pushed Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok may just be a working fan title, it’s fitting for what the game could contain. Everything points toward the modern-day storyline coming to a head, and it’s possible that the game’s past will use Norse themes of the end-times event....

There are several aspects apart from the main storyline in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which include wealth, artifacts, and mysteries. The mysteries are the most interesting of the three as you won’t know what to expect until you enter the areas where they are found. These side quests are marked on the map with a blue dot, and each one is more bizarre than the last. It is often confusing the first few times as you try to figure out what each mystery wants you to accomplish, and focusing on your surroundings isn’t always helpful....

InXile Entertainment was founded in 2002 by Brian Fargo after he left Interplay Entertainment. In 2014, they released Wasteland 2, a sequel to Interplay’s Wasteland from 1988. Fortunately, fans only had to wait six years to receive the third game in the series, Wasteland 3, which came out on August 28, 2020. This CRPG is long, difficult, and full of grueling choices which rarely have a clear right answer. While the title will take players plenty of time to go through, afterward, they might feel like checking out any of the games similar to Wasteland 3 below....

Do you ever wonder what video games would be like today without Mario? You can’t deny that without Nintendo and Mario there would be a huge dent in video game history as we know it. The franchise has brought us so many amazing games that surpass age or gender, appealing to all gamers of all backgrounds. Nintendo saved gaming after the crash of 1983 and really owned the gaming market of 2017, with Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey....

While watching your favorite horror movies, you may have missed one of the gaming industry’s favorite pastimes: adapting great scary films into games. From The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween to Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, all of these franchises have been adapted into video games at one or another. Many of the early ones are cash grabs while some of the more recent adaptations are excellent....

Uh oh. There it is, friends. The can is open, and there are worms freaking everywhere. You know how the Star Wars and Star Trek fandoms can be. You know how most fandoms can be, come to that. We just don’t seem to get the whole concept of live and let live. Do you remember the vicious console wars of the 90s, that pitted Mario and Sonic against each other? Friendships were won and lost and mothers’ weight problems were relentlessly mocked on the schoolyard, simply because somebody’s allegiance was different to yours....

Ever since its release back in November of 2014, Halo: The Master Chief Collection has been plagued with issues. Many fans reported game breaking bugs and sporadic matchmaking success right out of the gate, and things have only gotten worse. 343 Industries, who took the Halo reigns after Bungie bowed out of the franchise, has released patch after patch to fix the broken game, but each consecutive fix only seems to reveal new issues....

Video games are unique as an interactive medium because of the element of interactivity. From something simple like picking dialogue options to navigating open-worlds, the player has the ability to directly influence the world. However, a bridge must be created between the player and the world of the game; that bridge is the controller. Many people have written or produced content about game controllers. Despite that, it’s still fair to say the average consumer doesn’t often think about their game controller unless it isn’t working....

The PlayStation 2 is the best-selling console of all time, and that naturally comes down to its massive library of titles. Sony’s platform was home to countless fantastic games, be it JRPGs, first-party exclusives, or Gran Turismo sequels. A lot of 6th generation games have aged rather weirdly, and they can take some getting used to if revisited in this day and age. Consequently, many of the PS2’s biggest projects have been re-released on future consoles, although a few classics have yet to receive the remake treatment....

There are a number of familiar and new gruesome faces for the player to tear apart in Doom Eternal. Some have undergone some changes from the previous title while others have hardly changed at all. In some cases this is great, but not so much for some. When diving through the armies of hell you want to face demons that are not only terrifying to fight, but horrifying to look at....

After ten excruciating years of patiently waiting, Half-Life fans were finally blessed with another entry into the series via Half-Life: Alyx, which caused Valve’s Index to sell out, proving that VR isn’t just a fad. Given that the ending teased a sequel, it’s possible that we’ll be back in the world of Gordon Freeman with much less of a wait than between Episode 2 and Alyx, so here are five things that we want to see in a prospective Half-Life 3, as well as five things we want Valve to leave out—beware spoilers!...
