Halloween has come to Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the island is absolutely brimming with holiday spirit. The Halloween Fall Update has brought in tons of new decorations to build, pumpkins to plant, and ways to dress up for this creepy month’s festivities. But for some people, Halloween is all about the candy, and Animal Crossing hasn’t forgotten about them. Candy and Lollipops are good for more than just indulging your sweet tooth this year....

If you want to make a ton of bells and don’t mind putting the life of your villager at risk, catching some dangerous bugs is a good way to earn some quick cash. Tarantulas were the original go-to money bug in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but those things are old news. Now, it’s all about the scorpions, baby! So, how can you fill your inventory up with these creepy crawlers? In this guide, we have some tips and tricks that will allow you to catch a whole bunch of scorpions....

By now, most players of Animal Crossing: New Horizons have encountered beloved wayfaring bird Gulliver on their daily stroll along the beach. Gulliver, for all his charm and nautical puns, has a habit of falling overboard his ship, though it’s been theorized his shipmates are throwing him themselves. Upon meeting Gulliver, he will find his attempts to use his communicator are futile due to the lost communicator parts buried in the sand on the island....

In Apex Legends, there is a rarity tier known as heirloom items that have less than a 1% chance of dropping. These heirloom items all currently belong to the character Wraith and include a unique intro quip, banner, and melee weapon skin commonly referred to as Wraith’s Knife. Despite this rarity, developer Respawn Entertainment does guarantee that this item will drop within 500 Apex Crates (the Apex equivalent of loot boxes), with one player finding out the hard way that this is indeed true....

It’s easy to fall victim to Ark’s impossibly addictive replay value, which is centered around a do-it-yourself survival theme on an island populated by indigenous dinosaur species. That being said, the stock game settings leave much to be desired, and can seriously hamper the enjoyment of the game for all but the most ardent of survival enthusiasts. If you’d rather tune up the game so it’s more accessible and straightforward, you’d do well to reference this list of tweaks....

The Pokémon movies are taking a page out of Disney’s playbook and releasing a remake of the very first Pokémon feature film bit with CGI characters. Don’t act so shocked. We knew that Pokémon was going down the CGI route when they started being all 3D instead of the beloved pixelated characters we grew up with. That, and it was announced at the end of the last Pokémon movie, Pokémon the Movie: The Power Of Us, which came out last summer....

I can’t do it. I have an island half full of villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons that I resent because I can’t bring myself to tell some of these folks - who just took it upon themselves to move in - that I think they should leave. I am desperate to make room for my long-time favorite villager, Goldie, and I even have her stinkin’ Amiibo card that I bought for just this occasion....

The first trailer for 20th Century Fox’s live action Assassin’s Creed film debuts, detailing the many changes from Ubisoft’s source material the movie has made. Expectations for the Assassin’s Creed franchise have likely never been higher. In prior years, the fact that Ubisoft boldly claimed that no Assassin’s Creed games in 2016 would make the upcoming movie even better by comparison might not have been difficult to justify. However, hot on the heels of an Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate game that breathed new life into the series, such a statement has served only to increase fan expectation for the Assassin’s Creed film....

Although Ubisoft just unveiled Assassin’s Creed Valhalla a few days ago, many fans are already clamoring to see it in action. Gameplay will be shown for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla soon, but even then, with or without it, many just want to have hands on it. As such, many are looking at various dates as to when the game could release, with there at least being a few hints out in the wild....

Ubisoft is about to release the first announced DLC for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, taking players on new Irish territory with new enemies. Apparently, players better be ready to face fierce werewolves among them. Assassin’s Creed first introduced mythical creatures back in 2017, when Origins started a new trilogy. Players could meet not only Sphinx and fallen pharaoh mummies, but also fight the avatars of the ancient Egypt Gods. This course further continues with Odyssey, where even more legendary beasts, like Minotaur, Cyclops, or Medusa are seen....

Final Fantasy is a Japanese role-playing game that got its start way back in 1987. It was one of the last chances for then-fading game developing studio, Squaresoft. The game took off wildly in Japan; interestingly enough it took a little while longer to hit shelves in the west. Believe it or not, they even came out in a different order in America, causing a little bit of confusion initially. Since then, they have been releasing game after game that has become iconic in different ways, whether it be for game play, characters or music....

To echo the classic tagline, James Bond is back. As a tie-in to this November’s Skyfall — the 23rd feature film in the 50-year old series adapted from Ian Fleming’s espionage novels — Activision will once again be exercising their license to the Bond video game franchise with 007 Legends. Developed by Eurocom — and incorporating iconic (and playable) villains, state-of-the-art weapons and gadgets, and even Kinect support — Legends branches five past films into an overarching narrative before segueing into Daniel Craig’s latest cinematic outing....

Now that Battlefield 3 is in full swing and more and more people are inhabiting multiplayer, what better time than to share with you some important tips to maximize your online experience. Some of these suggestions might seem evident for players of previous Battlefield games, but some people who are new to the franchise or have spent more time playing Call of Duty, these might help beginners turn into more seasoned players....

Afterlife with Archie quickly went from high-concept gimmick to the most consistently entertaining comic on the market today. If we wanted to become overcome by hyperbole, we might have the cojones to say that the pairing of writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (whose success with the title resulted in him being named Archie’s Chief Creative Officer) and artist Francesco Francavilla is the best pairing in comics since Jack Kirby and Stan Lee....

American’s McGhee’s Alice is looking to return in Alice: Asylum, the third game in the series. Or at least, that is the tentative plan. Game designer and CEO and Founder of Mysterious LLC, American James McGee, has posted recently his plans to continue the series, which include a number of steps before that becomes a reality. Here is where it gets a bit tricky, as nothing has been formally approved. McGee states that his current goal is to build a production and design plan for the sequel, then have that plan approved by EA, as they are the license holders to the characters, and finally, raise funding for a new game....

If Dragon Ball Z’s Yamcha is known for one thing, it’s getting his butt kicked. This is something that Animal Crossing: New Horizons fans haven’t forgotten, as they’ve been heading to the game to recreate the DBZ character in one of his most recognizable poses. Although this might seem completely random, Yamcha and New Horizons actually have something significant in common. Yamcha’s birthday is March 20, which is the same date that the latest Animal Crossing was released....

A video detailing the second half of the upcoming DLC for Deus Ex: Human Revolution has been released, focusing on the portion of the content where Adam Jensen is able to get off the ship and finds himself on a secret Belltower sea lab. Well, it’s more like a sea base, but there’s probably a lab somewhere in there. Two months after originally releasing, “The Missing Link” is the first DLC for Deus Ex: Human Revolution that covers a period of time during the story where Adam escapes a bad situation by stowing himself away into a cargo container to further his investigation....
