The game has enjoyed a largely positive reception; the VG247 review gave the title a 4/5, and critical consensus seemed to land around the same number once all the varying viewpoints were accounted for. The game, generally, is pretty easy. But there are few key tricks and tips that you should know before you rush head-first into battle with a giant Thunderjaw or something and get your arse squarely handed to you....

In an interview with GamerHubTV (via VGC), Digial Eclipose studio head, Mike Mika, revealed that the developer had approached both companies about a potential re-imagining of the game. Digital Eclipse is responsible for both The Disney Afternoon Collection and the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, so the studio has a decent track record with both companies when it comes to getting collaborative, retro-inspired projects out there. The Xbox 360 and PS3 port of Marvel vs Capcom 2 that landed in 2009 came from Digital Eclipse (back then known as Backbone Entertainment), before the games were delisted from digital storefronts when Capcom and Marvel’s contract ended....

Some of the big names you’ll find, though, include Death Stranding, Dragonball Z: Kakarot and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Right now, Target seems to have a wider range of games so there might be a good place to start. I’ve put more of the games you can find in the offer below:...
But, after a series of spin-offs and non-canon additions slowly boiling the purity of the IP down to directionless mediocrity, it’s critical that future iterations endeavour to recapture the familiarity and emotion that comes with being part of something that you believe in before it’s even begun. That’s right — I’m talking about movie tie-ins. Look, you might scoff, and I wouldn’t blame you for doing so considering tie-in history, but Electronic Arts mastered this in the early noughties with their direct film-to-game releases of The Two Towers and The Return of the King, and it’s about time that we reached for the same dizzying heights of success....

The Stalk Market is a high-level, year-round Bell-making strategy in the world of Animal Crossing. While we do cover the buying and selling Turnips in our guide on how to make lots of money fast in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it’s such a major part of the game that it’s well worth going into detail on here on a separate page. Playing the stalk market - which of course is Animal Crossing’s playful take on the stock market - is by far and away the fastest way to make lots and lots of Bells - but it also involves a great deal of risk....

But now that Respawn has confirmed early details of Season 4, the focus has clearly shifted to Forge, the Legend debuting with the new season....

In a recent conference call, Ubisoft declared a report for the next fiscal year. Hidden amidst a variety of interesting tidbits was a single sentence confirming that the Assassin’s Creed Discovery Tour modes for Ancient Egypt (Origins) and Ancient Greece (Odyssey) would be made free for players to download. The claim was later confirmed on Twitter. Check out the tweet below. Both Discovery Tour modes are available to download for free, but can only be downloaded on their own - by which I mean that the entire Origins and Odyssey games aren’t part of the deal....

“England itself was fairly fractured at this time, with many different kings that rule over different parts of it,” narrative director Darby McDevitt said during a recent developer commentary. The Vikings used this to their advantage with successful longship raids, using England’s rivers to hit targets with guerrilla warfare. But they weren’t just interested in raiding - many Vikings wanted to settle on the land, and Valhalla will depict that....
