Animal Crossing: New Horizons – April Free Update Will Arrive on April 23rd
Animal Crossing Could Use Quality of Life Improvements
When you love a game as much as Animal Crossing, it's easy to look over the negatives and focus just on the positives. And frankly, that is what we did at GamesReviews when handing the game a perfect 10/10 score. Does Animal Crossing: New Horizons have some faults? Of course it does, but the overall package is near perfection. For the record, a 10/10 score on GamesReviews does not mean perfect, but rather is a score given to only our favourite titles!
Read MoreWild West Earthbound: A Look At Boot Hill Bounties for Nintendo Switch
Earthbound is one of my favorite SNES rpgs. I liked the game before I was even a rpg fan! I couldn’t stand other rpgs then, but Earthbound reached me because of its unique humor. There has never been a game exactly like Earthbound. Many have tried to be like it and many have failed. And now there is Boot Hill Bounties. Its set in the Wild West but there are aspects of it that feel like Earthbound. Boot Hill Bounties…

The best part of Curious Expedition is its concept: You choose a famous historical explorer and set off on a journey to a remote location, searching for treasure and the location of a golden pyramid. You’re in a race against other intrepid explorers to become the most famous finder of rare antiquities in the world.
Read MoreIs their “Lucky” Moments in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? Of Course!
If you've played games like Stardew Valley in the past, you know there are such things as lucky days, and unlucky days. In Stardew, it's a well known fact that if the spirits are smiling upon you, it's a good day to trek into the mines, or into the Skull Cavern. Why? Because you are likely to pick up lots of diamonds and other valuable gems, or perchance cash in on gold or even iridium ore! We are over 150+ hours into Animal Crossing: New Horizons and I'm beginning to wonder if the game has what I call, "Lucky" Moments.

Read MoreAnimal Crossing New Horizons: Post Bunny Day Thoughts
The egg curse is over! The eggs are gone! GONE! Bunny Day is finally over. What did I think of the event? Well… Bunny Day was a mistake. Let me back up a little. I loved Bunny Day in New Leaf. In that game, it was one day and you went around finding eggs and the bunny gave you stuff. But in New Horizons, the holiday was different. Instead of one day, the event was 12 days. There was 12…

Once upon a time in a land before Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One, there was a game called Oregon Trail. It was PC game. In it, you traveled the Oregon Trail, trying to survive, and likely getting killed every single time. And now Curious Expedition has come to Nintendo Switch. Its not exactly Oregon Trail but it has a lot in common with it. Curious Expedition has you playing as a famous explorer of your choice who goes out…
Read MoreZombie Army Trilogy – Nintendo Switch Review
Zombie Army has always been a pretty good spinoff of the Sniper Elite series, using all the same mechanics and fantastic kill cams, and switching out modern war mechanics for, well, zombies in Nazi outfits. The Sniper Elite series has always done a pretty good job of creating a sniper heavy first person shooting experience that fans really enjoy, but is moving it over to a zombie apocalypse enough to justify buying the same game with a different skin? Let's dive in!

Recently, I unlocked terraforming/path making in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Now I have more power over the landscape of my island. Too much power? Enough power? Let’s talk about terraforming and making paths! In Animal Crossing New Horizons, Nintendo has given us tools that we can use to almost completely reshape our island. I’m talking about terraforming and path making! I’ve unlocked both and thought I’d give our readers my thoughts so far about these new tools. PATHS Since Animal…
