Overview
Description

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a laid-back life simulation where you develop a deserted island into a personalized community, crafting, decorating, and interacting with charming animal villagers in real time.

Black & White 2: Battle of the Gods is an official expansion pack for Lionhead Studios' acclaimed god game, Black & White 2. In this installment, players face an opposing deity for the very first time as the remnants of the defeated Aztec nation resurrect themselves through grisly rituals to spawn a new god of death, raising terrifying undead armies to seek ultimate vengeance. Building upon the core mechanics of the original title, the expansion challenges players to flex their divine powers once again. You must nurture your followers, command your giant Creature, and manage miraculous interventions to defend your civilization against a supernatural enemy that commands the forces of the afterlife.
