If you've got 45 minutes or so to spare in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there's a feather-filled event running today called Festivale. The latest seasonal update is a lot like the prior seasonal updates. You'll swing by, catch floating it...

When we had access to Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury recently for our review, we sadly did not have the brand new Cat Peach and Cat Mario amiibo in our possession. Now that the game is out and our order is delivered, we do! Let's...

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is out today, so you can dive right into the "plus" part of that moniker and start enjoying its unique open world framework. Before you do, though, there's probably something you should know.

Whether I totally overthink the solution or I'm just not in the right frame of mind, I have this silly habit of getting tripped up by the simplest puzzles in horror games – the kind that make you go "oh duh!" Like clockwork, I got all...

Outside of the new levels and boss in Fatal Falls, the DLC's flashiest addition has got to be Serenade – a talkative pet sword who hovers around, marking enemies for critical hits. It's the Brutality equivalent of the other two s...

Nintendo has been very choosy when it comes to anything amiibo-related in the past few years. Just look at the stark decrease in production! But alas, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is not only getting amiibo support for both mod...

Before you can master the Fatal Falls DLC levels in Dead Cells, you'll need to reach them. Here's a quick, no-nonsense guide on where they slot into the progression route and how to access them. Once Fatal Falls is installed (you can verify...

We knew The Predator was coming because of a few recent quests; and because nearly all Fornite info can be datamined, we knew it was coming on January 20. This past week Epic invited players to locate a crashed ship in an area that was...

When Cyberpunk 2077 came out, folks tried their hardest to suss out the rumored "secret ending." As sites started to post their guides, all they had to go on was secondhand information from the official guide, which noted several ways that ...

I recently picked up a half-finished Stardew Valley save file to mess around with the 1.5 update, and it didn't take long for me to start flipping through the wiki to refresh myself. While the wiki is always going to have its place (barring...

With My Nintendo physical rewards popping up like daisies every week, I've had a ton of requests from readers to explain what Platinum Points are, and how to earn them quickly. Good news! This is that guide. It'll walk you through the entir...

Stardew Valley added a whole new island to explore with update 1.5, and it's surprisingly fleshed-out. There's a lot to it! If you're looking for a straight-to-the-point starter guide, here goes nothing. To reach the island, you'll need to...

With a name like Cyberpunk 2077, you'd expect hacking, right? Well, you've come to the right place! Here's a quick rundown of how hacking works and what it can generally do for you in-game.

Demon's Souls fans have cracked the case of the Providential Ring. If you missed getting one, there's an alternate way to obtain the item beyond choosing it as your one-time-only starting gift. If you're way too deep in the New Game+ cycle,...

Seeing My Nintendo become relevant again is really confusing. I know, it took me a while to adjust too. For years it was a graveyard for Platinum Points to eternally rest, with rewards for legacy systems and wallpaper exchanges. But now, th...

Nintendo's mobile support has been rather disappointing so far. After Super Mario Run didn't seemingly hit insane internal metrics, their mobile partners turned to gacha and microtransactions. Oh, and subscription services on top of mi...

As you may have noticed, Nintendo is adding physical rewards to My Nintendo at a rapid pace: almost on a bi-weekly basis. Most of them are in the 500-1000 point range, which is no problem for folks who have been sitting on points for ages, ...

Super Mario Run didn't have microtransactions or gambling elements: so naturally it was considered a failure. But Nintendo hasn't shut it down (yet!), and there's money to be made from it. Fake Platinum Point funny money to be clear, but no...

I feel like every time I revisit Demon's Souls, something different trips me up. That goes double for New Game+ runs, and it definitely still applies to Bluepoint's just-released PlayStation 5 remake. As the Souls community comes together t...

Demon's Souls was always the best Souls game. I'm tempted to turn off the comments so you can't "at" me! I mean, I'm not going to do that, but I'm tempted. Whether you started up this weekend and threw your case across the room in frustrati...

Borderlands 3 is getting a fancy new DLC pack in a few days. Okay so maybe it's not so fancy (it's some skill trees and a new mode), but it isn't abundantly clear how to access the Arms Race gametype at first: especially if you miss out on ...

In case you missed it, Nintendo added actual physical rewards to My Nintendo. They require Platinum Points, which are a finite resource; earned by activities like playing various Nintendo mobile titles and mucking about on the Nintendo webs...

30 hours into Spelunky 2, I've beaten the game exactly once – and come close countless other times. While much of that time was admittedly spent exploring potential branching routes and figuring out what's up with certain elusive NPCs...

With three classic Mario games coming to a brand new console via Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a lot of folks are probably wondering how they control. Here's a full breakdown of the control schemes for each title, as well as a few short no...

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 will have you grinding rails and manualing flatlands with some of the best to ever ride. You've got your Rune Glifbergs, your Chad Muskas, and, of course, you've got your Birdmans. There are some more, umm,...
