Remember Spore? Available now onOrigin, you too can create various facsimiles of human life withThe Sims 4‘s Create-a-Simdemo. The demo will give players a sneak peek into the new Sim creation process, which looks a lot more involved than in previous titles. But being honest, when I set out to play a “serious” Sims game, I would just make default characters and lock them in rooms without doors so they’d eventually have to urinate on themselves....

For those unaware,MKXon mobile was recently rebranded as simplyMortal Kombat Mobileand is going to be the future of that series for smartphones. Since it won’t be following any specific plotline, it only makes sense thatMK11characters would show up.

Using the Xbox 360 to stream Netflix movies has been — for many of us — an enjoyable experience. Not everyone is having luck with the service though, as some people are reporting that the picture quality has dropped considerably within the last couple of weeks. It’s worth noting that these issues aren’t specific to the Xbox 360; Roku users have submitted similar complaints. Netflix spokespersonSteve Swasey says it’s “a small number of people involved,”but the company doesn’twant to “diminish the fact that it’s important....

Themed after Pikachu, Zelda, and Mario I do love that big green A button. Hori has announced a line of GameCube-inspired controllers for Nintendo Switch in Japan. They have a semi-translucent design and connect to the Switch via USB. 【10月発売予定】「クラシックコントローラー for Nintendo Switch」が10月発売予定です！連射機能搭載で、疲れにくい軽量設計です！マリオ/ゼルダ/ピカチュウの3種類での展開です。マリオ:https://t.co/oeKO2OCEKbゼルダ:https://t.co/gSXL4jFiQcピカチュウ:https://t.co/kjnSMGACOZpic.twitter.com/NJP136Zh1P — HORI /ゲーム周辺機器のホリ (@HORI__OFFICIAL)June 02, 2025 The controllers will be out this October in Japan, with a Western release presumably to follow.

I’d surf this The Switch UI has been surprisingly dormant since it was released. While it gets the job done in some respects, it lacks a lot of modern features like folders and other perks. Plus, the menu sound design is a huge downgrade compared to the Wii and Wii U. So every few months someone takes it upon themselves to upgrade the UI with a fan mockup: and I have to say, pretty much all of them are on point....

I’ll say it: I like Phil Harrison. As the President of Sony Computer Entertainment’s Worldwide Studios, he seems to really know what’s going on. Phil seems to be moving the brand in a good direction, and he has done a pretty good job of being the face for Sony’s games division. That being said, when it comes to interviews, he seems to only answer the questions he likes, and the rest are dodged so gracefully that you’d have to see it in “bullet time” to really get what happened....

Earlier this year, it was revealed that a stop-motion animatedPokemonseries is in the works. We’ve gotten our first trailer and it’s outrageously cute. The Pokemon Company has partnered with Netflix to producePokemon Concierge. The series follows a girl named Haru (voiced by Karen Fukuhara) who begins work at a tropical Pokemon Resort. She quickly discovers just how peaceful the resort can be but it’s not all relaxing, as she also has to ensure the Pokemon have a good time....

In Rovio’squest to getAngry Birdson every single platformcurrently active in the market, the bird launching simulator will be headed to the twenty people out there who were able to afford a Samsung Smart TV (Samsung 2012 LED 7500 models and up, and Plasma 8000 models)for no charge at all.

Right on While a lot of people are worried about howShenmue 3is going to turn out, this new interview with series creator Yu Suzuki really talks the talk. Suzuki basically uses the interview to dispel the notion that we’re getting a smallerShenmueexperience, noting that as opposed to the originals which were a “one week game,” this is a “multi-week game” with a richer world and more to do. While specifics weren’t given, note that the original duo had a roughly 25-hour long story each, and Suzuki is sayingShenmue 3will be bigger....

PC show pushed back one week The Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition has been officially rescheduled. It will now take place between June 16-22, one week later than its originally advertised dates of June 9-14. The reschedule wasannounced at the weekendby the show’s organiser, Geoff Keighley. While no reason was given for the reschedule, it is snug to assume that the event is taking a backseat due to the ongoing civil unrest in America and worldwide, as people take to the streets in various protests against the systemic racism embedded within society....
