If you believe the rumor mill, the next Sims 4 Expansions Pack is a reboot of The Sims 3: Generations. That pack added weddings, high school graduations, new kids’ activities, and relationship drama to the game. With all the speculation about what might be coming, here’s what Simmers are hoping to see this year. Improved Relationship Mechanics Family dynamics have come a long way since the initial release of The Sims 4, but there’s still a lot more EA could do to add richness and variety to family relationships....
Following on from an open letter penned 200 days ago, Ubisoft employees have released a new statement saying their demands still haven’t been met. Multiple Ubisoft employees have rallied together to form “The Better Ubisoft” group. This group has been campaigning for improved working conditions since the company was hit with allegations of a toxic work environment last summer. These allegations include numerous stories of sexual harassment and assault concerning multiple employees at the company....
It’s been five years since Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony was released and brought an interesting ending twist to the series in what felt like a finale. However, a group of fans weren’t necessarily satisfied with that and have created their own continuation through the indie game host site Itch.io. The Danganronpa games follow a pretty entertaining but well-established formula. Each game is a visual novel that gathers students with traits that make them the Ultimate in some ability or skill....
Fortnite: Chapter 2, Season 6 has introduced a range of brand new content to the game. Included are weekly challenges to help progress the battle pass and more. However, the release of the new season has brought some bugs and exploits along the way. Most recently, an exploit was found which allowed players to earn unlimited gold bars. Now, another Fortnite Season 6 glitch has been discovered which gives players unlimited health....
Asobo Studios has said that its upcoming game A Plague Tale: Innocence won’t be coming to the Nintendo Switch, because the system just isn’t powerful enough to do just justice to the developers vision for the game. Speaking to Gamingbolt, Asobo Studio’s chief creative officer David Dedeine poured cold water on the likelihood of a Switch port of the upcoming action adventure game. ‘It’s really the power of the device. In this case it was the amount of rats we needed to display....
Playable in stereoscopic 3D, Crysis 2 is going to be one, if not the best looking game of the year. Hands-on time for the single player campaign on Xbox 360 was available at yesterday’s Microsoft pre-GDC press event and I jumped at the chance to play it. The demo took place during the second chapter of the Crysis 2 campaign, where the player has already fully assumed control of the Nanosuit 2 playing as new protagonist, Alcatraz....
It’s that time of year when video game players can walk around dressed up as their favorite video game characters while blending in with society- at least for one night. Nearly every pop culture character or property you can think of has been converted into a video game, but we’re staying true to characters who originated from video games. If you’re looking for inspiration this year, these are some of the best video game Halloween costumes in 2022....
From the moment that the developers of the Sims series announced the StrangerVille expansion pack, fans began attempting to draw connections between this new pack and the mysterious yet exciting world that was Strangetown from The Sims 2. Though, at a cursory glance, the neighbourhoods seem nothing alike (StrangerVille comes with a contained mini-game for starters), there are several similarities that tie the two towns together. Some of these connections are discussed at length below....
Now that the Game of Thrones has come to an end on screen, it’s time to start speculating on which fantasy book series might pick up the TV adaptation mantle once Game of Thrones is gone. Game of Thrones is one of the greatest fantasy epics ever written and it makes for the perfect episodic television experience, but it’s far from the only fantasy book series that deserves to be on TV....
In celebration of Nintendo’s Game Boy turning the ripe old age of thirty, we thought it would be a further fun idea to explore the games that never made it out of Japan. A lot of the better ones have actually received fan translations, which is great for those seeking out that kind of stuff. Still, it would be nice for these ten games to have a real presence in the West as well....
The Metal Gear series has unfortunately simmered down to have very less momentum in the last few years after Hideo Kojima departed from the franchise, causing fans to cling onto the older games to remember its heydays. There are a lot of lessons one can learn about war and the world from the series, and these are delivered through quotes from characters. However, we’ve found many of these quotes to be conflicting with what they’re saying, as well as in conflict with the actions of the characters who utter these quotes in the first place....
Released on November 27, 1998 in Japan and September 9, 1999 in North America, the Sega Dreamcast was a wonderful little console, and many people have called it a wildly underrated console that was ahead of its time. Unfortunately, it was also an incredible failure that effectively knocked Sega out of the home console market. From this point on, that market belonged entirely to Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. It only sold around nine million units and was officially discontinued in March of 2001, a mere seventeen months after its release in North America....
Tabletop games like Ticket to Ride aren’t for everyone; they’re not even for everyone who loves tabletop games! This is because games like Ticket to Ride are strategy-heavy and require a lot more thinking than most card games or even video games. However, these games can offer plenty of wiggle room for creativity and blazing your own path to victory in a way other games might not. For those who like the mental exercise Ticket to Ride and games like it require, here’s a list of ten more road-building tabletop games for you to enjoy....
High refresh rate screens are becoming quite popular these days, whether for computer monitors, tablets, laptops, or even smartphones. Some models can even get all the way up to 360hz, but there is an argument about whether these increasingly higher refresh rates benefit the end user. © iStock.com/fpphotobank The short answer is yes, and you will notice an improved experience between each refresh rate. But what exactly is a refresh rate?...
Whether you love or hate the WWE 2K series there is no denying that the games are jam-packed with things to do. There are endless moves and combinations of grapples that you can learn and discover through repeated play. In addition, the ability to customize your very own wrestling universe and television shows opens the door with near endless gameplay and story opportunities of your own. Whether you feel the series could do with a year off to establish a new engine or not, 2K instead prefer to go with the “if it ain’t broke” formula and consistently build on what it has and add more features to please longtime fans....
The Pokémon world is full of awe-inspiring mysteries and rare creatures just waiting to be found by eager and weirdly responsible ten-year-olds. Just when trainers think they’ve found everything, Nintendo releases another game to keep us exploring. Will we ever find everything? Probably not, because Nintendo will have Game Freak making new Pokémon games until the company or the Earth literally collapses. My money’s on Nintendo winning that one. With seven generations’ worth of Pokémon games released and an eighth on the way, it’s getting nearly impossible to stay aware of every secret the series has to offer....
The Pokémon games have always been aimed at a younger audience. But we’ve come a long way from it strictly being seen as a children’s game. Most of the original fanbase is all grown up and still as passionate about the franchise as ever. Older fans tend to take things a little more seriously than younger ones, and it shows in how they select, train and battle their Pokémon. Battling competitively is popular among many players, and with that, there goes a great deal of effort into putting teams together that can properly complement each other....
One of the most confusing things about Wordle answers is that, sometimes, there might be repeating letters. If you suspect that today’s Wordle has a 5 letter word with double or duplicate letters, try any of these words and you might reach the solution in the fewest possible attempts. Note that this isn’t the entire list because there are a lot of words with repeated letters. But these are sure to appear in a future puzzle, so check out this compilation right away....
Nintendo is known for its family-friendly games, so we haven’t seen an abundance of survival or horror titles for the system until recent years. The best Nintendo Switch survival games are different than what you’ll find on the PC or other consoles, but bring an interesting mix of strategy and gameplay to the company’s latest system. © iStock.com/Wachiwit Survival Games on the Nintendo Switch The Nintendo Switch is an incredibly popular system, but one that’s a bit underpowered compared to the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X....
