Being a high-stakes professional game review is tough work. You must commit to spending countless hours playing pre-release games on relentlessly tight deadlines.

Gears of War and tactical strategy have seemed like strange bedfellows since Gears Tactics was announced. The Coalition and Splash Damage have worked to take the action-packed and burly soldiers, weapons, enemies, and lore of the Gears franchise and pull players back to a strategic point of view of the battle.

Animal Crossing is an inherently peaceful, pacifistic series. You catch bugs and fish, decorate your humble home, and interact with a wide variety of animal compatriots. Unfortunately, you also happen to be under the thumb of one of the franchise's most notorious criminals: Tom Nook. Now, before you dismiss his antics (especially in the most recent game, Animal Crossing: New Horizons) as nothing more than that of a shrewd businessman, consider this: he's been at this racket for years, employing friends and family to help grow his massive empire.
