On February 26th 2019 EA Games released a special expansion pack for the fourth base installment of the Sims series. This expansion was entitled “Strangerville” and was unlike any other expansion created for the Sims universe ever before. This is because this expansion exists as a more traditional plot based game rather than simply adding a new look and/or element to the existing life simulation. Players were met with a new town containing a mysterious plague afflicting its residents, a deep secret surrounding a science lab outside of town, and a conspiracy loving man who runs a gift shop near the trailer park — who knows everything that the others won’t talk about....

The Walking Dead season 10, which sees the conflict between the settlements and the Whisperers come to a head, ended on a cliffhanger in April. Episode 15, titled “The Tower,” saw what remained of Alexandria, the Hilltop, and Oceanside take refuge in a hospital as Beta led a massive walker horde to obliterate his enemies. The episode ended with Beta approaching the hospital and bringing “certain doom” to our heroes....

An upcoming event and patch next week will include one very important change that the official Super Animal Royale Twitter account has announced ahead of time. Up to now, Super Animal Royale players have been able to ride inside of hamster balls for both maneuverability and as a weapon. These hamster balls are incredibly deadly and are an almost guaranteed one-hit kill when they run over opponents. With the change, while the hamster balls will still offer a one-hit kill, potential victims will stand much more of a chance....

Purveyors of video game secrets have something new to get excited about following the recent fuss around Nier: Automata’s ultimately rather underwhelming church mystery; a hidden two-player mode has been uncovered in Super Punch-Out!!, 28 years after its release on the SNES. As explained by Unlisted Cheats - a Twitter account specialising in video game “secrets nobody heard about until now” - the discovery was made “while doing some request work” on Super Punch-Out and has revealed two additional cheat codes on top of the sound test and Japanese name input cheats previously known....

Hannah Telle (Max) and Ashly Burch (Chloe) will be reprising their original Life is Strange roles in the bonus ‘Farewell’ episode, coming in 2018. This extra episode, a stand-alone to the three in the main Before the Storm series, was exclusive to the Deluxe Edition of the game. Burch’s return as the voice of Chloe Price for this episode is notable, as her absence from Before the Storm was due to the (at the time) ongoing SAG-AFTRA voice actors strike....

So apparently Temtem is a lot more popular than anybody realized. That is to say, there are so many new tamers that it’s overloading Temtem’s servers. Oh, right, you might not know what Temtem even is. To put it bluntly, it’s an MMORPG version of Pokémon. You go around capturing little monsters (the titular Temtem), train them, and then use them to battle against NPCs and other trainers. The big difference is that the whole thing takes place in this big open world and you can interact with other tamers along the way (besides just battling them, I mean)....

It’s a good week to be a Temtem tamer. The latest Temtem Weekly Reset brings a relatively easy batch of FreeTem rewards to earn, all of which are useful. But you’ll find the real catch this week in the Saipark. It has two of the rarest Temtem in the game wandering around with triple the chance of being Luma. Breeder’s delight – weekly FreeTem rewards This is one of the easiest weeks Temtem has had for FreeTem rewards....

Many gamers, myself included, have grown up playing Nintendo games, and for a good reason; Nintendo basically invented the modern console market, and their games have a reputation for high quality. When you see Nintendo’s logo on a video game box, you can expect a game overflowing with creativity, invention, and attention to detail — sometimes you can even expect a game that completely rewrites the rules of video gaming, like Breath of the Wild did for open-world adventuring....

MOBA — short for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena — is a fast-paced team game with objective-oriented gameplay. With the proliferation of MOBAs, everyone is playing some form of this game. MOBAs have come a long way since their early days. Many people have probably played a MOBA of some kind, whether it’s League of Legends, Heroes of the Storm, or DOTA 2. © George Dolgikh/Shutterstock.com If you’re looking to try out a new MOBA on PS4, there’s no shortage of titles to choose from....

For players making their way through the battlefields of the wild in Ghost Recon: Wildlands, a trusted weapon should be the first thing you’re trying to obtain. If you hold a weapon that you’re not comfortable with it becomes little more than a walking giveaway for the enemy. With plenty of weapons to choose from, players will get to customize their playstyle around the weapon of choice. Assault Rifles belong to the middle ground with some wiggle room in between....

When it comes to battle royale games, the first question players ask tends to be, which guns are the most useful? They forget that while a gun may allow them to damage other players, it does not protect their own hide from bullets. Items are arguably as important as any gun, because when you need a way to escape or to shield yourself from damage, you turn to your items....

There are cute Pokémon of every type, even the types that wouldn’t seem like it at face value. Fire, Poison, and Steel are examples of this. However, each definitely holds its own when it comes to being adorable. Fire, especially, is home to many more cuties than one might first think. Many of the cutest Fire-types are, by their nature, starter Pokémon. But, there are others, too. Across the eight generations of Pokémon, many adorable Fire-type Pokémon have been introduced....

This article contains spoilers for The 100 Season 7 premiere. The 100 Season 7 premiere was sadly light on Bellamy Blake. We got to see some solid acting from Bob Morley in the episode’s opening moments, as Bellamy yelled for his sister. Quickly, however, he was knocked out and dragged by the mysterious cloaked figures who came through the Anomaly. Later in the episode, we get a shot from the perspective of one of the soldiers’ helmet viewscreen....

If you regularly watched animated shows during the 1990s, you might remember the Walt Disney Television Animation series called Gargoyles. This show boasted a darker tone than many other Disney shows at the time, which, along with the series’ overall high quality, helped it gain a devoted cult following that persists to this day. Notably, the show received a 1995 tie-in game for the Sega Genesis that also garnered a fair bit of praise, albeit not as much as the animated series....

Sports-themed video games are available on the earliest systems, like the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), one of the finest video game consoles in history. Many people continue to play the classic NES games on these gaming consoles. In this article, we will look into the absolute best NES sports games of all time. © robtek/Shutterstock.com What are NES Sports Games? NES sports games are video games that simulate real-world sports. Players in this kind of game compete against other players or computer-controlled opponents to win championships or other rewards based on their performance in the game....

It’s been a good couple of years for women time travelers on television. Doctor Who gave us our first female Doctor, Outlander got multi-generational with its time travel lady representation, and the show Timeless existed. Why does this matter? Well, aside from the fact that the characters listed below rock in their own rights, they also represent a relatively rich television history of fictional female time travelers that is in stark contrast to TV’s cinematic cousin....

We finally got a real look at Glen Schofield’s The Callisto Protocol with a trailer shown at the PlayStation: State of Play today. But that’s not all, fans of spooky horror games. The Callisto Protocol has been confirmed for a December 2 release date, arguably the scariest time of the year. Wait, it isn’t? Well, it’ll make for a creepy Christmas season anyway. The Callisto Protocol won’t offer too many surprises if you’ve already played Dead Space....

Focus Home Interactive has super-glued a release date to The Council Episode Two: Hide and Seek, with the narrative-driven adventure due out on May 15 for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One. This latest chapter in the consequence-heavy drama reunites players with Louis de Richet, as he faces up to the events of the previous episode while on the trail of his missing mum. As if that wasn’t enough to contend with, he also has to deal with the appearance of the Spanish head of state, and the upper-crusty-sounding Lord Mortimer....
