The Sims 4 has always prided itself on being a game that strives to be inclusive and diverse. As a life simulation game, it’s aim is to allow players to represent both themselves and others, playing out a narrative of their choosing. However, the task of enabling all players to accurately create themselves isn’t easy. Over the six years of the game’s lifespan, many steps have been taken to improve diversity in The Sims 4....

Even though Breath of the Wild has been out for around four years, players are still discovering new secrets. A Reddit user recently noticed that the walls of the Astral Observatory accurately depict large landmarks throughout the map. If you haven’t played Breath of the Wild, then this may contain some spoilers, so be careful! The Astral Observatory has appeared in a few Legend of Zelda games. In Majora’s Mask, the observatory serves as the location of Professor Shikashi....

The world of The Witcher is rife with love, hate, strife, turmoil, kindness, evil… and a ton of monsters. There are so many aspects of The Witcher 3 that have been lauded for several reasons, but one thing that still somehow manages to surprise fans to this day is the sheer number of enemy variety present in the game. The number of monsters present in this game is simply immense, and one will find it hard to complain about the fact that the game doesn’t offer any diversity when that’s one of the strongest parts of this game....

Our quick take Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 - 4.5 / 5 To recap While not much has been done to the inner workings of the game (after all, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it), every external aspect has been refined to give the most engrossing edition in the long standing franchise. Road to the Masters adds a long-overdue in-depth career mode that enhances the replay value immensely, and there are so many challenges, achievements and unlocks that you will find that you’ll be playing long into the night, every night

There’s no need to completely re-hash what has already been said about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. From its incredibly expansive environments to its rich quest lines, Skyrim is simply one of the most successful (and better) games of recent memory. Skyrim Game Director Todd Howard recently sat down with Game Informer and shared some thoughts on his incredible project. As the best selling game in Bethesda history, Skyrim has forged its way past genre barriers, selling millions upon millions of copies to gamers, who obviously cannot all be die-hard RPG players – the segment of fans who typically were the ones to play the previous installments....

With the recent announcement of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 and the constant clamoring for a new entry in the popular Skate franchise, it’s no secret that players love skateboarding games. Now it seems players will be able to gain new insight into the popular Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise with a new documentary coming later this year. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was a skateboarding game where players took control of Tony Hawk and other famous skateboarders....

For the official release of Torchlight 3, the developers gave us a six-minute trailer to feast our eyes on and learn about the game—if you weren’t playing the early access version, that is. We have to say, Torchlight 3’s new trailer is beautiful. The story of Torchlight 3 takes place centuries after the events of Torchlight 2. The threat of invasion has returned to Novastraia, and it will be up to you to fight off the Netherim and its allies....

If one upcoming game qualifies for the ‘better than expected’ award, it has to be South Park: The Stick of Truth. After what seemed like years of the show’s immense popularity and satirical humor being reduced to downright pitiful video games, the team at Obsidian Entertainment looked to be making every fan of the show’s dream come true: bring the humor and world of South Park to the game space....

Trey Parker and Matt Stone must know that the South Park games, thus far, have been pretty bad because they clearly don’t want to screw South Park: The Game. Not only has the creative duo behind the series sought to create a South Park game unlike anything that has come before it, they handpicked the developer (Obsidian) working on the project, and will not let it release until it’s “perfect.”...

Twitch rolled out a new feature for streamers that will allow them to go live for an audience of only subscribers. The feature has been in beta for some time and was finally (quietly) released on Wednesday. When the news broke on Reddit Wednesday, many commenters were quick to turn their noses up at the option. The top comment with 6,000 upvotes by simply says: “This would make me not watch streams and not sub....

Twitch streamer Alinity has long been one of the streaming platform’s most controversial, and popular, figures. Now Alinity has announced that she is taking a break from Twitch streaming as well as social media in general. Alinity stopped short of revealing exactly when she would be returning to Twitch streaming, signing off on Twitter with a Christmas Eve message that ended simply with, “I will see you all when I get back....

Twitch is selling out. As horrendous as it may seem that a once proud game streaming network must do a song and dance for their capitalist masters, the good news is that it means there will be great deals available for anyone with a Twitch Prime subscription. Starting July 15th at 10 AM PST and running for 12 hours (and then again on the 16th, which are the two days on which Prime Day is celebrated), /twitchpresents will host a very special broadcast....

Twitch streamer Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp has signed with South Korean esports organization T1 as a content creator. With T1 being one of the most storied League of Legends teams with three World Championships under its belt, signing one of League of Legends’ most prominent streamers makes perfect sense. T1 and Tyler1 have previously collaborated with several videos involving the organization’s star player, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, where Tyler1 and Faker visited various Las Vegas landmarks during the 2019 League of Legends All-Star Event....

Contains major spoilers for Us Jordan Peele’s latest horror, Us, is out in theaters today and it’s great (read our review). A genuinely terrifying and also really funny political chiller, it stars Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke and sees a family tormented at the hands of a group of strangers who look just like them. The script is terrific and it’s packed with clever references and bits of foreshadowing, one of which is a reocurring image of a man holding a sign which reads “Jeremiah 11:11....

Valorant just released as a full game on the PC, and with the fans’ excitement of the first-person shooter came the question of whether or not the game could also come out for other systems. Anna Donlon, Valorant’s executive producer, told fans during an interview that Riot Games is currently testing the game on consoles. Riot Games released the full game of Valorant after the closed beta brought a lot of attention to the first-person shooter....

VALORANT is now unleashed upon the world, marking Riot Games’ venture into the world of first-person shooters. It’s mostly a hit, luring competitive gamers away from Overwatch. And like many competitive games, players want to surrender when they can tell a match is a wash. The game is currently missing that feature, but that will soon change. VALORANT is made by Riot Games, the team behind the huge global esport League of Legends....
