The success and popularity of Microsoft Flight Simulator is in many ways surprising, as it’s a franchise that has largely remained dormant since 2004, but more than that, Microsoft Flight Simulator is a very casual experience. However, it seems like therapeutic games are both in-demand and necessary given the current state of the world. There’s no better evidence of this than the thriving Microsoft Flight Simulator third-party add-on market, with two polished expansions, in particular, getting new trailers recently....

There has literally never been a time when gaming is as necessary as it is right now, so any deals put out there are of extra value. Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo have all had sales going this spring, and gamers could find discounts on titles year-round as there’s always a promotion going about. But with more people forced to stay at home now than ever before (in recent memory at least) deals are more sought after....

At CES 2017, Sony reveals the lifetime sales of its popular action adventure game, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End including holiday sales data for its software and hardware.

The developer of State of Decay 2 and the upcoming State of Decay 3 got in trouble when it accidentally seemed to be defending Nazis earlier this week. Undead Labs recently apologized for confusion around the game’s “Punches Nazis” trait, as well as appearing to block criticism of the game. The drama began with Steam Marines 2 developer James Seow live-tweeting his playthrough of State of Decay 2. While playing, he recruited a survivor with the rare Punches Nazis trait, which grants four stars of fighting experience but makes them irritable toward fellow survivors....

Of the many ways that Undertale grabs its audience, none are so intriguing as the mystery of what happened to W.D. Gaster. Although the game is filled with well-rounded, unique, and lovable characters of all personality types, it’s this former Royal Scientist who may or may not even appear in the game at all who has spawned the wildest fan theories. Officially, Gaster is only represented by a handful of sentences spoken by other characters, including his four elusive followers who may appear at random to the player....

Unearthed Arcana unleashes so many possibilities to the already vast Dungeons and Dragons universe. Now Unearthed Arcana or UA is simply test material that Wizards of the Coast releases for their players to try out. They also encourage the public to come up with some material themselves to suit their own campaigns. This can greatly increase the risk an adventuring party can face, therefore making it more fun. Since WotC themselves haven’t come out with too many monster variants we will look at some of the variants that the community has come out with, particularly from Reddit user Dave2008 who has come out with a list called 5e Epic Monster Updates....

Until Dawn puts player choice above everything else, and for a horror game that’s rather unique. But be warned that the game is more interactive movie than game. Until Dawn is a game obsessed with the Butterfly Effect - the idea that a few small choices, or maybe even one big choice, can have a rippling effect and impact a number of future situations. It’s obviously not the first game to explore that concept, but the game’s use of the horror genre opens up new possibilities....

This article contains spoilers for WandaVision. Episode four of WandaVision presented a massive shift in perspective. While the first three episodes took place inside the sitcom universe, episode four took audiences to the universe outside it; the usual Marvel universe.

After removing Trios again, Infinity Ward has added the mode back to Warzone, but some players still aren’t happy. For the most part, Call of Duty: Warzone has been a huge hit. Fifty million people played the game during its first month.

The fight is over before it begins. Steven Spielberg makes that much obvious in the opening shot of his West Side Story. From the picture’s first frame, the Upper West Side occupied by the sound and fury of the Sharks and Jets has been lost. How can it not be when audiences are immediately introduced to a collapsed and dilapidated building? Fire traps and abandoned slums which would look at home in one of Spielberg’s World War II movies are the spoils of gang warfare in this soulful reimagining of the Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim musical....
