Animal Crossing: New Horizons took the world by storm when it launched to critical acclaim earlier this year and quickly earned the adoration of millions of fans. We absolutely loved this cute life simulator that lets you build a community on your very own island as well as visit your friends on their own island getaway. “For me, New Horizons is the most fully-realized, most well-rounded iteration in the franchise’s history,” our reviewer wrote about the game in March....

Coming to NBA 2K21 on next-gen consoles, the announcement of an improvement to previous installments’ The Neighborhood game mode, The City, aims to expand on the open-world aspects of exploring a basketball utopia. Unless one’s newly created character is female, oddly enough. Boasting the inclusion of a WNBA-themed collection of modes, NBA 2K21 is curiously restricting female characters from exploring the expansive new City, a major draw for the series’ latest title as it makes its debut on next-gen consoles....

Not every player has hundreds to spend on FIFA packs or the time to grind out the notorious FIFA Ultimate Team menus to make thousands of coins. Thankfully, FIFA 21 is packed full of underrated players and bargains that can still go toe-to-toe with the most expensive cards in the game. Whether you’re a FIFA player looking for the ultimate meta players or just want to have fun with your team, these cards you can pick up for less than 100 thousand coins....

Fights in Tight Spaces is about, well… fighting in tight spaces. Except that you fight via a turn-based card system. As with most games that include fighting, your aim is to hit without getting hit. Due to the fact that you can’t regenerate health between levels, taking hits in Fights has the potential of hampering your playthrough in the long run. But if you keep a few things in mind, you might be able to take down your foes without taking a single hit....

Tifa is one of the strongest characters in Final Fantasy, her abilities would put many warriors to shame. She can manipulate time around her and has superhuman strength to boot, as well as superhuman speed. She’s good in up-close combat and has elemental magic abilities to strike from a distance. Add to this that she has many resistances and is highly durable in combat and many would have trouble taking her down even if they got past her abilities....

It’s only fitting that a forthcoming remaster would receive an equally slick story trailer. Today, Square Enix unleashed upon a legion of eager Final Fantasy fans the latest look at Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age – a trailer that urges players to “enter an era of war, fight for freedom, and embark on adventure” amid the game’s rich narrative. Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age, a high-definition re-release of the Japanese-only title Final Fantasy 12: International Zodiac System, centers around franchise favorite characters seen in the base game....

One of the most striking scenes in the original Final Fantasy 7 is the brief moment during Cloud’s flashback when Sephiroth joins your party. In that title, as opposed to Final Fantasy 7 Remake, players get only the merest clues about Sephiroth’s power and identity in the game’s Midgar Arc, and Cloud’s (faulty) recap of their shared history serves as the enigmatic ex-SOLDIER’s first proper introduction. In Cloud’s Final Fantasy 7 recollections, he and Sephiroth were assigned to kill a monster that has been wreaking havoc near Nibelheim....

Final Fantasy 7 Remake introduces players to the concept of summons through Ifrit. He is the first summon that players will attain throughout their time with the remake, and is notable for being the only mandatory summon out of all nine summons. It is possible to clear the game with only Ifrit’s summon materia. Ifrit is given to Cloud as part of the main story of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, yet another way he differs from the other summons in the game....

For Honor released on Valentine’s Day to positive reviews and tens of thousands of viewers on Twitch. While it was a promising start for the Ubisoft title, it’s now clear that For Honor’s playerbase has dwindled since launch with the game’s numbers on Steam dropping by more than 50 percent. Githyp notes that For Honor was in Steam’s top 10 most played games on launch day with more than 46,000 players but the number of active users dropped to 21,000 just one week later....

The most recent update to Fortnite has rewarded meticulous players with a follow-up to the Coral Buddies secret challenge questline. After last helping the small blue critters acquaint themselves with wood, players have been tasked with taking the Coral Buddies into the Stone Age. The new Coral Buddies Stone Age challenge is fairly easy to complete if a Fortnite player knows what to look out for, but without a heads-up, it could easily go unnoticed....

Fortnite has dropped a new set of Midas Challenges for Week 9, and there are some really interesting challenges that players can take on this week. There are 10 new challenges available for Week 9, and luckily, most of the challenges are pretty self-explanatory and don’t require any tutorials at all. However, a couple of the challenges might be confusing for players and one of the tricky ones is the 10th challenge this week....

Fortnite’s Season 7 Week 8 challenges are now live in the game, and this week has some of the most self-explanatory challenges yet. However, there is a Hard level challenge to “search between a mysterious hatch, a giant rock lady, and a precarious flatbed,” that some players may need help with. Like past “search between” challenges in Fortnite, this challenge leads players to a hidden battle star that they can collect to move up an entire tier on the battle pass....

Epic has already revealed the end date of Fortnite’s new season. Judging by the past two seasons though, we would recommend taking this information with a pinch of salt. After a handful of delays, Chapter 2: Season 2 of Fortnite came to an end this week. The first date Epic made public in regard to an end date was April 30, 2020. Considering everything that has happened in the world since then, it feels like that day came and went a lot longer than six weeks ago....

Next-generation Fortnite gamers can expect a number of improvements and bonuses when they boot up the game on their brand new Xbox Series X/S or PlayStation 5. Epic Games has explained how a next-gen version of Fortnite will be ready for gamers to download once they have set up their new consoles, promising that the Fortnite builds on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 aren’t “simply tweaked last-gen builds.” Instead, gamers will experience a version of the game that has been developed specifically to harness the true power of the next-generation hardware....

Not too long ago, Epic Games teased the addition of a new burst assault rifle to its wildly popular hybrid construction shooter Fortnite, but it looks as if fans will need to wait a little while longer until the weapon is actually added to the game. As it so happens, the developer recently took to the sandbox survival title’s official subreddit to reveal that the update containing the firearm won’t be available until tomorrow....

About a couple of weeks ago, Friday the 13th: The Game creators Gun Media and IllFonic officially announced the cancellation of all future DLC for the asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror title due to a recent legal dispute. Now, the publisher and developer have revealed that not a single asset can be added to the game no matter which party comes out on top in the litigious proceedings related to the horror franchise....

Friday the 13th: The Game is about to cross paths with the date that shares its name, and as such Illfonic and Gun Media have got plenty of plans for the title. For starters, the asymmetrical multiplayer game is going to not only get a brand new map based on the Jarvis Residence, but it’s also going to see the long-awaited launch of Jason from Part 4. Fans of Friday the 13th: The Game will no doubt want to see more of this particular Jason, and thankfully the game’s developers have now confirmed some of the stats for the character in question....

Frasers Group, the parent company of retailer GAME, considers the UK government’s COVID-19 relief package useless, stating that it was disappointed by the business rates relief package that had been proposed, which includes a £2 million cap on the amount corporations can claim from July 2021 to March 2022. The statement adds that it “makes it a near worthless support package for large retailers,” noting that while the entire retail industry “has repeatedly asked for structural reform of business rates, none has been forthcoming....

GameStop is reportedly planning on offering different payment plans for those that want to purchase the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. The storefront retailer has had a tough last few years. Thanks to Xbox Live, PSN, Nintendo eShop, and PC games software clients like Steam, gamers are buying more digital downloads than ever before instead of spending their money at brick and mortar stores like GameStop. Sony and Microsoft made a smart move by creating next-gen consoles without disk drives for a lower price point....

There is no shortage of fun with Animal Crossing New Horizons, and the amount of detail in the game is staggering. Living out your dreams of living in quieter pastures has never been so easy and cute. While Tom Nook is a menace, don’t let him stop you from enjoying your time finding new ways to decorate your home and add a little flair to your cozy getaway. While many of the wallpapers in Animal Crossing are cute, some have hidden features that truly take a plain decoration and make it something far more memorable....
