7 Ways Nintendo Could Make ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Even Better

Perhaps that title comes off a bit harsh. Let me explain myself. I'm a relative newcomer to the Animal Crossing universe. My only prior experience was playing the original back on the GameCube, and even then, my time was mainly limited to putting in codes to get cool goodies like The Master Sword and Warp …

Hello, friends, and Happy New Year!!

Review- Untitled Goose Game (Nintendo Switch)

Let's make this short and sweet. In Untitled Goose Game, you are a goose. Go figure. Your mission is to inflict mayhem and chaos throughout the fictional village by terrorizing its citizens.

Question of the Week #34: What Single-Player Series Should Get a Multiplayer Spin-off?

There's not much I love more than a solid, single-player gaming experience with a good story and fun gameplay.
