We all love The Sims, right? It’s a fun, addictive, experience that can give life long memories. Albeit with some creepy elements! Sims 4 may have let down its fans, what with it removing more elements from previous games, rather than bringing in new features for people to enjoy, but sims fans remain loyal, playing their own preferred versions of the games over and over again. Whatever version of The Sims is your poison, every Simmer worth their salt is aware of “Sim Logic....

Dropped onto a deserted island with nothing but your wits to keep you alive, The Survivalists cuts right to the chase in getting to its premise. Sure, the survival genre isn’t anything new, but every game has its own learning curve you need to come to grips with. Between all the materials, crafting options, and survival mechanics, you have a lot to learn if you want to survive on your island....

When A Chinese Ghost Story premiered in 1987, it was already part of a unique category – the fusion of horror, comedy, and Kung Fu. Asian horror films are known as jiangshi, which is the name of a specific spooky hopping ghost found in Chinese folklore that proliferates these films. Part zombie, part vampire, jiangshi are corpses that are usually reanimated by demons or Daoist sorcerers. They hop along mindlessly with their arms outstretched like sleepwalkers, and feed on the life essence – or qi – of the living....

Monster contracts are one of the most common types of side quests in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and most players that have explored a decent amount in the game will have completed at least a few of these quests. Not only do monster contracts often reward the player with money, but they usually also reward the player with new equipment. Completing monster contracts can be easy or difficult depending on the quest; however, sometimes, the player may need a few tips to help them defeat the boss that they’re facing....

Being a Witcher comes with several unique responsibilities, including meeting with Yennefer to ride a certain unicorn, tracking down Ciri, playing a blacksmith in Gwent for the fourth time because you still haven’t won his card, and hunting down countless varieties of horrific monsters. These optional side quests generally begin with the seasoned witcher hunting an unknown creature disrupting local villages. Not including the two expansion packs Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, there are a total of 26 contracts in The Witcher 3 awaiting Geralt of Rivia....

Hear me out: I know the concept of Square Enix “apologizing” to fans is ridiculous, but there’s no way they weren’t aware of the incredible ship wars they ignited with the love triangle in Final Fantasy VII, both with the Japanese and international audiences. When you look at the facts, it really seems like Squall and Rinoa’s romance in Final Fantasy VIII was their tribute to a relationship they brutally and tragically sank....

“What’s your video game guilty pleasure?” It’s a question asked many times over, and you’ll see a variety of answers that vary from Sims to Roblox to Fifa to Animal Crossing to any mobile game in existence. But, why should anyone be guilty about what they play? Games are, after all, a means of entertainment, and if it entertains… who’s to judge? Mobile games are perhaps the crux of this problem, the ultimate example of the worst in gatekeeping culture....

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the biggest game of the year, we mean that both from a physical and hours-of-play perspective. Not only does Skyrim take countless hours to explore, there are literally an unlimited quests for players to pursue thanks to the game’s Radiant quest system. What if we told you that while this installment of The Elder Scrolls series is even bigger. The game takes place in the northern most province of Tamriel, but what if players could travel to the neighbouring provinces, areas we’ve explored in the previous two games in the series?...

Warning: contains spoilers for the Trigger Point finale. Trigger Point concluded with a tense, pacey and well-directed episode that revealed the bomber’s identity and closed the case. Wash’s nightmare month ended, finally giving her little ponytail a chance to rest. Along the way, she’d lost her colleague, her brother and her bit on the side, and had only managed to stop about fifty percent of the bombs from going off, but at least she could draw a line under it....

Video game developer Nightdive Studios announces the arrival of a level editor for its PC remaster of the first-person shooter Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.

For anyone’s who has played one of Ubisoft’s games, they’ve probably noticed whenever an achievement or trophy is unlocked, they also earn what are called Club Units. Club Units are a form of currency used both internally across all Ubisoft games, from Far Cry to Assassin’s Creed, and by making purchases from the Ubisoft store. Units earned by players up until now have always been accessible regardless of when they were rewarded, meaning units earned all the way back in 2009 from playing Assassin’s Creed II could be redeemed to purchase an in-game armor set in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, without having to spend any real money....

With six major titles released thus far, the Assassin’s Creed franchise has been quietly pilfering our pockets for a generation. Following the ancestral escapades of one Desmond Miles, the series that took gamers from the New World to the Enlightenment — and soon enough your local movie theatre too — certainly shows no signs of slowing down. With the ale-glugging, redcoat slugging Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag bobbing ever closer to shore, developer Ubisoft is keen to keep its loot-laden vessel afloat, but will the pressure to iterate outweigh Ubi’s desire to innovate?...

There are a lot of heavy-hitting studios vying for attention at E3 2013 this week, and many announcements that have gamers giddy with excitement, including Mirror’s Edge 2, Kingdom Hearts 3 and an installment of Super Smash Bros. featuring Mega Man. Ubisoft has been hitting the headlines hard with new reveals of highly anticipated games like Watch_Dogs and announcements of new titles like Tom Clancy’s The Division, and with so many games on offer from the publisher it might be expedient to get an overview of its key games all in one place....

Capcom announces a brand new version of Street Fighter 2 for the Nintendo Switch, which is set to introduce two new characters and one new mode.

It may seem like a natural transition for Uncharted, one of the most cinematic game franchises in history, to be adapted to the big screen, but the games aren’t just movielike in their presentation; they’re every bit as well-made and entertaining as the Hollywood action movies they pay homage to, if not moreso. Even the games’ protagonist Nathan Drake, voiced by Nolan North, is as charismatic and likable as any movie action hero you could name....

This article contains spoilers for the final season of Vikings. In its final season Vikings tied up the story of Ragnar and his sons, and ended with a pitch-perfect, almost poetic, coda. Ragnar, however, was just the beginning of the Vikings’ story. Later this year, Netflix will bring us the saga’s concluding chapter, Vikings: Valhalla. Set more than 150 years after the events of its parent show, Vikings: Valhalla charts the Vikings’ last glorious push as a cultural force with which to be reckoned, while chronicling some of the early 11th century’s most intrepid, influential and powerful figures....
