Both The Sims and Planet Zoo are interesting simulation games with unique premises. The Sims franchise with its most recent series, The Sims 4, is all about playing with life, whether it be creating one resembling the life the player leads or something else entirely. Planet Zoo is dedicated to simulating what it’s like to own a zoo, with an important emphasis on wildlife conservation. While these two games may fall into different genres of the same category, they have more in common than meets the eye....

Mortal Kombat 11 released in April of 2019, completing the trilogy of games started by NetherRealm Studios in 2011. The eleventh entry in the classic fighting game franchise was met with overwhelmingly positive reviews, with some critics saying that it is “by far, the best entry in the series to date.” Since the game’s release, Mortal Kombat 11 has seen a wealth of new content come to the game from new skins for existing fighters on the roster, to DLC characters like Sindel, Spawn, The Terminator, Nightwolf, and Robocop....

Bryan Fuller has been looking back at the past and discussing the future of Hannibal in a huge new interview. The NBC series, which focused on stories from Thomas Harris’ bestselling Hannibal Lecter books, was cancelled in 2015 before we could see the events of Silence of the Lambs play out Fuller-style, but it still has a thriving fan base who would love to see star Mads Mikkelsen and the rest of the cast return for Season 4....

As the fifth game has solidified the franchise’s worldwide appeal, so many new fans are jumping into the Persona series for the first time. After the critical and commercial successes of Persona 5/Persona 5 Royal, alongside the surprising success of Persona 4 Golden on PC, the Atlus JRPG series has never been more popular. Luckily, the series largely functions like Final Fantasy, in that every mainline entry is mostly different from one another....

It’s hard to argue whether or not a game is skippable, especially for a title as formative as one of the most iconic entries in the Persona series. As the game that kicked off the franchise’s modern success, fans hold a lot of reverence for Persona 3 and its many iterations, for good reason. Venturing away from overt Shin Megami Tensei influence into the social simulator/JRPG dichotomy, the massive popularity of games like Persona 5 wouldn’t have existed without the innovations of Persona 3....

Judkins chalks up some of the needed changes to the way the characters in the Wheel of Time series sometimes went off on their own storylines in the books. “The author, Robert Jordan, was really careful about giving each of them a very full interior life and agendas,” Judkins explained. “They’re always working towards something even if it’s not necessarily working towards the story he’s trying to tell. All of those characters want something and they push for it, and I think that makes for the best television....

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is an FPS video game that came out on PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One in July 2019 (and Google Stadia in November 2019). The story follows twin sisters Jessie and Zofia Blazkowicz as they fight Nazis in Paris, France in an alternate reality in the 1980s. In addition to awesome gadgets and neat abilities, the duo uses lots and lots of guns and other weapons to win the war....

At its core, pet battles in World of Warcraft turn the simple task of collecting companions into a fully-fledged turn-based game, akin to JRPG systems like in the Pokemon franchise. For many players, pet battles still feel like a new and confusing feature, even though it’s been a mainstay of the game’s side content since Mists of Pandaria. Many world quests require the player to battle pets with a trainer, and there are lots of daily and holiday quests that take advantage of the system, too....

With World of Warcraft: Shadowlands nearly reaching four months since its release, the playerbase continues coming back to the eighth expansion for Blizzard’s iconic MMORPG. On the other hand, Minecraft still holds a reputation as one of the greatest titles ever made because of the ability to recreate masterpieces in-game. It may have taken a while, but one player has finally managed to remake one of the Shadowlands’ most frequented areas in Minecraft....

Rapper Soulja Boy may be best known for his 2007 hit song “Crank That,” and more recently, for his legally questionable forays into the video game console market. Now Soulja Boy has found himself in the middle of a Twitter feud with WWE wrestler Randy Orton, with the two trading multiple profanity-filled tweets and threats to one another in the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 2. The situation started on February 28 when Soulja Boy tweeted out “Rap game faker than WWE....

Xbox Game Pass is going to be reaching a lot of potential subscribers in 2021, as Microsoft has announced that the service will be available on iOS and PC through cloud streaming. The current version of Xbox Game Pass on PC and Xbox systems is often compared to Netflix, but it’s closer to being a rental service.

When people talk about the games that defined Xbox Live Arcade on the Xbox 360, one of the most common games that is brought up is Castle Crashers. The addictive co-op brawler from The Behemoth won over Xbox 360 gamers everywhere, leading to over 2 million players and enough financial success to justify re-releasing it as Castle Crashers Remastered on Xbox One. Castle Crashers Remastered is one of the strongest indie games on the way for the system this holiday season, as evident by Microsoft proudly displaying it in their ID@Xbox montage at E3 2015....

At its E3 2017 Xbox Briefing, Microsoft officially unveiled the Xbox One X (previously codenamed Project Scorpio) by giving the console a release date, full specs, and a price. The Xbox One X will release on November 7, 2017 and it will retail for $499. What’s likely most striking about the Xbox One X is how small it is compared to today’s powerhouse consoles. Much like the Xbox One, it features fans along the sides and the Xbox logo prominently on the front, and the form factor is fairly similar....

Elon Musk is arguably everyone’s favorite billionaire. From being open to appear on Pewdiepie’s channel to review memes, to ensuring that you can play Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 in the new Tesla, Musk has proven again and again that he’s in touch with the gaming culture. All of that might be why Xbox marketing boss, Aaron Greenberg, felt that it was worth suggesting that Musk partner with Xbox to bring Halo’s Warthog to life....

Petting lovable critters has become a crucial factor in modern games. If your game features animals and gives players the ability to stroke their perfect heads, then congratulations! That is a good video game. If it has the aforementioned and does not let players pet the animals, we have sad news: your game could be much, much better. Luckily for canine lovers, Ghostwire: Tokyo got the memo and included this most critical of features in the game....
