As an introverted kid growing up in the early 2000s, I was the prime demographic for a game likeThe Simsthat allowed me to make digital dolls, build houses, and tell all kinds of stories. I may have been playing since I was in grade school, but I’d be lying if I said that’s thelasttime I played - I bought a copy of The Sims and the Livin’ Large expansion in 2020, and I got whiplash from how much the series has evolved since its formative years....

Summary Since its release in 2015,Rainbow Six: Siegehas experienced a wealth of changes. With a long roster of new operators, new maps to play on, and even new ways to play the game itself, Siege has certainly come a long way from its origins as an offshoot of the usual Rainbow Six series. The upcoming Rainbow Six: Siege X (shortened to Siege X in some of the announcements) is a lofty overhaul to the game, promising new ways to play the game, a push for more realism, and potential updates to the meta all await....

Say his name and he appears. No, not the Boogeyman. Joe Hendry. The viral Scottish professional wrestler has seen his popularity rise dramatically over the past several months, due in large part to his self-produced theme song “I Believe In Joe Hendry.” Now, coming off his first major championship victory in TNA, in which he won the TNA World Championship, plus his debut in WWE as part of last week’s Royal Rumble Premium Live Event (PLE), Hendry is attempting to parlay his fame into a skin inFortnite....

Warner Bros.recently started an exchange programfor people with DVDs that are experiencing premature disc rot, which might sound like a bacterial disease from Cyberpunk 2077, but it’s a real thing. Disc rot is a chemical deterioration that can trigger from a variety of causes, but the effect is always the same: the disc becomes unreadable. This is an inevitable eventuality for CDs, DVDs, and even Blu-rays. DVDs are expected to last between 30-100 years, and considering the oldest DVDs ever produced (Mars Attacks andTwister, for the record) aren’t even 30 years old yet, it’s clear that Warner Bros....

Much of the SNES' library was also bolstered by other developers and publishers, like Square Enix and Konami. The SNES has to this day a world-renowned gaming library in terms of variety....

If you like yourhorroras campy and referential as you do bloody and gory, it’s been a busy week.

First, the good: Katheryn Newton, with heavy horror experience from Paranormal Activity 4, Freaky, Abigail, and Lisa Frankenstein, is joining Ready or Not 2....

I hate when people say games are supposed to be ‘fun’. It’s like saying movies are supposed to have explosions or songs are supposed to have electric guitar solos. A game is whatever the game maker wants it to be.Somegames are supposed to be fun, maybe even most of them, but that doesn’t mean fun is the metric by which all games should be measured. That Dragon, Cancer - an autobiographical game about a family discovering their infant son has terminal cancer - is one of the most beautiful and compelling games I’ve ever played, but it ain’t fun....

I had quite high hopes forAvowed, and these were matched by the opening few hours. The character creator, while not the most robust I’ve seen, wasflavoursome with its thematic use of Godlike features, and was capable of creating avatars that looked both beautiful and relevant to the world. The opening shipwreck was a handy tutorial that felt active rather than passive and included a decision that impacted an early game quest....
