The PS5 has had a slow start in Japan, as it’s sales figures are the lowest of any PlayStation home console in the region at launch. The PS4 is one of the best-selling video game consoles of all time, sitting behind the Game Boy, the Nintendo DS, and the PS2. Despite this, there are concerns that Sony is shifting focus away from Japan and is trying to appease the US market....
The Sims 4: Fitness Stuff Pack is one of the more modern packs in the game. It combines gym equipment with modern and uniquely designed pieces to create a surprisingly usable collection of items. If you’re a fan of clean lines, unique modern shapes, and glass tables then this pack is for you. While it does have a gym focus, there are also more usable items including a bathroom set, lighting, rugs, and shelves....
The Sinking City features an open world called Oakmont that players can explore to interact with citizens, investigate crime scenes, find Big Lebowski easter eggs, and more. Getting around Oakmont can be a bit troublesome due to the city’s flooded streets, but luckily there is a fast-travel system in place to help players get around easier, though some may not realize how to use it. Whereas many open world games simply require players to open their map and select where they want to fast-travel to, The Sinking City uses a different kind of fast-travel system....
There are a tremendous number of monsters that are out for human blood in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, therefore Geralt needs all the help he can get against the many forces from another existence. Stellar swordplay and effective use of the signs are essential to success in this game. Thankfully, players have lots of options. The more directly offensive signs, like Igni and Aard, usually get used the most due to their simplistic effectiveness....
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is set in the complex and sundered land of the Northern Realms. There is a lot going on, so things from the previous game, and the books that inspired them, don’t always line up properly. Considering The Witcher 3 is a bigger game than the previous two combined, there are many variables and gaps. Especially since there are so many different consequences to the player’s actions....
Wreck-It Ralph is now 10 years old. While its sequel was a gigantic, sloppy mess of internet references, the original holds up as one of the better takes on the mega crossover subgenre. Hence even though the movie’s characters of Ralph and Felix (John C. Reilly and Jack MacBrayer) are pastiches of Donkey Kong and Mario, their world (or minimized multiverse?) is full of many pre-existing characters from real video games....

My first video game console was a PlayStation 2. My dad brought it home one day, and I’d never seen anything like it. Our collection of games grew steadily over the years, most being sad movie tie-in games or every version of Madden you can imagine. But as the console generation was nearing its end, I found my ultimate guilty pleasure. I don’t remember exactly how Thrillville: Off the Rails came into my life....
This month is Women’s History Month, and Twitch decided to celebrate this by tweeting out a short video of different women streamers talking about the ways they cultivate their communities, the importance of diversity in the streaming and gaming industries, and the challenges they have faced. It was a chance to set the table for Twitch’s direction this month, and as a brief overview, it was pretty good. They had an impressive range of content creators featured, and the topics they discussed were important issues for female streamers on Twitch....
There are a lot of Assassin’s Creed games floating around that all have some connection to one another. In the past, Ubisoft has bundled together several of these games that tell one particular story -The Assassin’s Creed Ezio Trilogy - or all of the ‘main’ games in the series - The Assassin’s Creed Heritage Collection. Ubisoft is bundling three Assassin’s Creed games once again to form The Assassin’s Creed: The Americas Collection, with the theme this time around being the creation and the founding of modern America....
With E3 2020 canceled, video game companies have instead been hosting special digital events throughout the summer, often in association with Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest. The next event will be Ubisoft Forward, which will give fans new looks at some of the most exciting upcoming Ubisoft games as well as announce brand new titles from the company’s biggest franchises. However, the event comes at a time when various Ubisoft employees have been accused of sexual misconduct and abuse....
This article contains spoilers for Uncharted. Uncharted isn’t just a somewhat surprisingly fun movie that tries to capture the spirit of classic adventure films gone by, it’s a video game adaptation that generously cites its source material through a variety of easter eggs. Thos movie seriously pays tribute to the blockbuster PlayStation games (as well as a variety of other genre staples). While some video game adaptations are more than happy to ignore their source material entirely or just nod at it once in a while, Uncharted wears its heart on its sleeve when it comes to referencing the best-selling and award-winning franchise that obviously inspired it....
Valheim is the Norse myth-inspired survival-adventure game that sees you playing as a slain Viking whose corpse is plucked from the battlefield by Odin’s Valkyrie not to ascend to the halls of Valhalla, but instead to serve a purpose within the realm of Valheim. This is where Odin exiled his foes, but as they have begun to rouse and gain power now Odin needs you and your fellow Vikings to rid the land of the forsaken and bring it back into the light....
Daigo Umehara is a fighting game legend who has dominated tournaments for years, and he’s still one of the best in the world. This Street Fighter 5 video proves it. Fans can say what they will about Capcom’s Street Fighter 5, but there’s no denying the developer has gotten the actual gameplay of its fighting game series down to a science. Although Street Fighter 5 has been widely criticized, with fans especially upset over Street Fighter 5’s lack of actual content, the competitive multiplayer scene for the game is still as robust as has come to be expected from the series....
It’s no secret that folks love to watch Santa Claus break bad. Despite being literally called “Father Christmas” in some cultures, this often rosy-cheeked symbol of generosity from childhood eventually becomes many an adult’s favorite villain: the crazed serial killer with an ax in Silent Night, Deadly Night; or the drunkard who urinates on himself at the mall in Bad Santa. While some of those movies are better than others (namely the first Billy Bob Thornton iteration of a Yuletide lush), all of them seem to forget that, deep down, we still want to believe that Santa and the season he represents should be depicted as a force for good....
The craziest plans often turn out to be the ones that work best. Following that logic, players of the MMO combat game War Thunder have figured out that some of the game’s tanks perform better when driven in reverse. The reasoning behind this is simple, as the folks over at VGC point out. Most tanks have the best armor in the front, while one of their weakest spots, the engine, is usually in the back....
Warframe has arrived in the Epic Games Store. Digital Extreme’s online shooter has been enjoyed on many platforms, and as it joins the PC storefront Epic Games Store, Warframe comes with some additional goodies. Warframe is a free-to-play online co-op shooter that first launched in 2013. Even after launching seven years ago, the game is still going strong and receiving fresh content. As it joins the Epic Games Store, players can also pick up a free weapons bundle that is a nod to Unreal Tournament (an Epic Games’ developed title)....
Seasoned players know that the Dragunov has never been a good weapon in Call Of Duty, until now. The weapon was buffed several months ago, but it has flown under the radar in Warzone. Before the buff, players did not use the Dragunov because it was atrocious in every possible way. The gun had low damage, high recoil, and a small magazine. However, after the damage buff, the Dragunov is the only semi-automatic weapon in the game that is a two-shot kill to the chest....
Raven Software has revealed the total number of banned players in Warzone, after getting rid of another wave of cheaters. Raven revealed that thanks to their most recent ban wave, the total number of players banned across Warzone is now totalling over half a million accounts removed. Their Tweet reads, “Banned over 30,000 malicious accounts across Call of Duty yesterday… bringing us to over half a million accounts banned in Warzone”....
Super Nintendo World is finally open, and some of its employees performed a special dance for the park’s first visitors to mark the occasion. Even though it is thousands of miles away in Japan, news that Super Nintendo World has finally been allowed to open will likely make you want to do a little dance. That’s certainly how its employees feel as some of them performed a choreographed number to mark the occasion....
