A buyer’s guide Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis arguably the biggest game in theAnimal Crossingfranchise, with hundreds of residents to meet and thousands of items to collect. In past games, obtaining every item available was something of a waiting game. As long as you upgraded the Nook store enough, you’d eventually get access to a wide array of merchandise.New Horizons, however, only has one Nook store upgrade. For most everything you want to obtain in the game, you’ll need to craft it yourself, which can be both time-consuming and cumbersome....
Boss Rush, also The already goodHyper Light Drifteris getting even better with a substantial update,out now in beta form on Steam, that enables 60 frames-per-second support and adds two modes. The first is Newcomer mode, meant for “folks looking for a less intense challenge.” I know you’re out there! The second, Boss Rush mode, unlocks after clearing the game on the standard difficulty. Speaking about the new 60 FPS toggle, the developers say they “worked through over 115 thousand lines of code the past several months in order to make this happen, manually changing timings of each object and enemy, fixing the dozens upon dozens of little problems that arose when changing frame timing, optimizing the game and testing the bits out of it internally....
[This is one of the only times an image of adorable animals is actually relevant to the post so I’ll be damned if I don’t use it. Video is after the jump.] I am almost positive that theEyePetis the least exciting thing having to do with PlayStation Move. Jimalready said it was only alrightwithout Move and it just doesn’t look like the Move controls ad much. However, Kevin Butler can sell me anything he wants and then some....
Break stuff The sportsman in me wants to love golf, but the lover-of-exciting-things in me just can’t be bothered. As a youth, the best part about hitting the links was wandering into the rough to try to recover balls that other golfers gave up on. Slazenger, nice! I’d bet most people feel similarly. Even Tiger Woods, the man who was supposed to save golf, didn’t make golf all that interesting. He was interesting and the way he shredded his way through majors was interesting, but the golf itself wasn’t really interesting....

Can you Handel it? The internet is incredible but oftentimes predictable. For instance, as soon as I saw a hotel lobby piano inHalf-Life: Alyx, I thought “Oh shit, people are gonna play real music on that.” And they have. But just because it’s predictable doesn’t mean that watching them plunk away at virtual ebonies and ivories is any less fascinating. Not allAlyxplayers will find themselves capable of playing the Northern Star’s piano, and it has nothing to do with musical aptitude....
The DLC launches tomorrow It’s now October and along with censored-for-TV horror movie marathons and copious Halloween bake-offs, it’s time for thatpromisedOvercooked 2update. The console versions have added New Game+ mode. If you’re up for the challenge, there’s a new fourth star to earn on every last level.
