As a gaming franchise, EA’s The Sims has been around for over 20 years. While this is an impressive feat on its own, its latest iteration of the series, The Sims 4, will turn 7 this year. Previous installments have lasted anywhere from 4 to 5 years, so The Sims 4 has clearly tapped into something that’s allowed it to last for almost twice as long as its predecessors. With this in mind, it’ll be exciting to see what The Sims team has in store for The Sims 4 in 2021....

In case the headline didn’t tip you off, this article contains Avengers: Endgame spoilers. We have a completely spoiler free review right here. Well, Avengers: Endgame may not have the ridiculous “half the life in the universe” body count of Avengers: Infinity War, but it does manage to send a few of our favorite Marvel heroes and villains to that great box office ticket window in the sky. But how dead are they, really?...

This article contains no spoilers for Midnight Mass. Horror auteur Mike Flanagan is responsible for many excellent spooky sagas since his first major film Oculus debuted in 2013. The writer/director has shepherded films like Ouija: Origin of Evil, Gerald’s Game, and Doctor Sleep; and TV series like Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor. Still, even with such a deep resume, there’s room for only one favorite....

To this day the second season of Digimon, known as Digimon Adventure 02 in Japan, is divisive. Some love how it expanded the world of Digimon and gave us a look into how the original characters aged up. Others aren’t fans of how the series handled its overall plot and that the new characters couldn’t hold up to the originals. The new character that received the most criticism was Davis, the new leader of the team....

Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft is coming out later this month, and it’s goal seems to be to expand on tropey presentations of Dungeons & Dragons horror settings. The lead designer recently gave some insight on how one setting in particular – the Egyptian-inspired Har’Akir – is being reimagined to avoid cultural appropriation. In a preview with Polygon, Van Richten’s Lead Desinger Wes Schneider shared how he thinks “treating a part of history as a adventure setting” is a big part of the issue....

World of Warcraft Shadowlands has been out for long enough that the endgame players are starting to work learn exactly what it takes to defeat Mythic Castle Nathria, not just in terms of fight strategy, but also in terms of party composition. Although a player who knows the fight and plays their class well is always going to be better than a highly-ranked spec played by an unskilled, it is still interesting to consider which classes currently have the highest potential DPS....

Following in the wake of the massive success of Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh! has gone on to be one of the most recognizable trading card games in the world, with a multimedia franchise that spans several anime series, manga adaptations, and video games. Since its initial release in 1999 in Japan and 2002 in the west, it has been fondly remembered by many as a staple of their childhood. Over the past 21 years, however, the game has undergone many significant changes, both in rules and in design, which has led to many dropping the game in favor of games that are far less convoluted, though there are still many who stick by their beloved past time despite how drastically the game has been altered....

Yesterday, Resident Evil players were able to get a sneak peek of Raccoon City, with the release of Resident Evil 3’s playable demo. The best thing about Resident Evil 3’s demo is that it is replayable and did not have any time limit, unlike Resident Evil 2’s 30-minute one-shot demo. Additionally, the demo featured protagonist Jill Valentine, which debunked rumors that the preview will be played from a perspective of a different character and will feature a storyline outside of the main campaign....

Others may blame the loss of Travis Fimmel as Ragnar Lothbrok at the end of Vikings season 4 for the decline in ratings. However, while many felt Ragnar’s sons have not measured up to the charisma of their father, the loss of viewership after Fimmel’s departure was only slightly more than the drop between previous seasons. More specifically, Vikings season four lost just less than two-tenths of a share and an average of 180,000 weekly viewers when compared to season three, according to TV Series Finale....

The Nvidia RTX 3080 and the more powerful RTX 3080 Ti have long been rumored, and Nvidia still hasn’t given any hints that both products are actually in existence. However, the company announced a couple of days ago that a GeForce Special Event will be taking place on September 1 at 9 AM Pacific Time. Unfortunately, Nvidia didn’t provide an details now what fans can expect on the event, but many believe that this will be the venue where the company will officially unveil both the RTX 3080 and the RTX 3080 Ti....

Rocky IV remains a prototypical example of 1980s American franchise filmmaking, having conveyed a patriotic Cold-War-evocative ethos through the lens of superhuman pugilists pummeling each other over revenge and world peace, all to Vince DiCola’s absurd synthesizer-led score. Oh, and lest we forget, it had a robot! While those attributes entitled the 1985 film to the smug dismissal and earnest appreciation of posterity, star/writer/director Sylvester Stallone’s upcoming director’s cut risks erasing its allure....

Nicobass and the team have struck again with an update on the elusive Tomb Raider 2 fan remake, and this one will make your heart absolutely soar. And feel kinda bad for Winston, too. If you’re a hardcore fan of Lara Croft and her timeless action-adventure series, there’s a good chance you’ll agree that the second game - released in 1997 - is still one of the best. You may have also spent some time wishing someone out there would bring the game into a modern light by decking it out with contemporary visuals and mechanics....

Some fans of Nvidia’s cloud gaming service GeForce Now have been wrestling with a peculiar conundrum for a while now. If users had picked up a copy of one of the supported games from GOG rather than Steam, they just wouldn’t run on the service. It was a source of much frustration and disappointment for prospective players who wanted to play high-end games on low-end systems, but things are now looking more promising....

World of Warcraft’s new Legion expansion isn’t too far off, bringing with it new continent, The Broken Isles, as well as an increased level cap of 110. Good news for Blizzard fans who still subscribe to the company’s popular MMORPG, World of Warcraft, as the new Legion expansion has had its release date announced to the world. World of Warcraft, which has been active since 2004, has had 5 expansions released in its 12 years of service, making Legion the 7th addition to the popular online game....

Despite its launch only a week ago, Worms Rumble will be getting its first major content update on December 17. The update will bring with it a brand-new arena, a slew of new cosmetic items, as well as a new game mode. The new arena - called “Deadly Dockyard” - will have each match’s 32-players players battling it out in a shipyard filled with “shipping containers, cranes, and boats launching from the docks....

One of the worst things coming from the modern tech age is electronic identity theft, and it comes in many forms. Hackers, which have become a sad mainstay of the current gen video game console services PSN and Xbox Live have brought a nightmare upon the companies and worse, the users victimized. A recent victim of this form of theft is Susan whose Xbox Live account was hacked. If the hacking and stolen funds wasn’t bad enough, it’s the Xbox Live Customer Support team who’ve made it a lot worse for her and she’s gone public to tell her story....
