Game-breaking console commands have been part of Maxis’ venerable series since the originalThe Sims, and that has continued throughout all the mainline PC entries (sorry,The Urbz).The Sims 4is no exception, and by using them you’re able to get access to additional items. These items are typically referred to as “debug items” or “hidden items” since they are not available through normal gameplay and are only available by using debug commands. These items range from rocks to cars, some of which are used to populate areas outside your Sims’ current lot....

Marble is a rather necessary resource pretty early inMy Time at Sandrock. Among other uses, it’s required to upgrade your workbench to a more advanced level. So where can you find it? Marble is pretty easy to come across, and you can get it from the relatively safe area around the workshop. It’s very easy to overlook, so if you didn’t notice the deposits of it, that’s understandable. you’re able to get marble by mining hard rock....

Micolash gets a taste of his own tentacles I’m in the “not actively playing but still watching clips” phase ofBloodborne, and it’s a beautiful place to be. I get to feel all of the highs and none of the lows. I’ll return, of course, but I’m chilling for now. Speaking of which, this clip of a player putting Micolash out of his misery sure is a fun one — they stop him before he can run circles in his nightmarish maze and endlessly spout off hisnumerousgrating-as-hell lines....

Turns out you CAN get the staff these days During today’s new Kombat Kast, NetherRealm Studios has revealed that Jade is returning after a leave of absence to the MK roster inMortal Kombat 11. Currently still locked into her undead “Revenant” form, Jade returns with her extendable staff and glaive in hand. From what we were shown, Jade is weapon-heavy, with these tools incorporated a huge part of her moveset. We also saw her ability to reflect projectiles, her lightning-fast shadow quick and her klassic purple aura of invulnerability, combined with a dash to get down and dirty....

Seeing Red It’s been well over a year since the launch of crossover fighterJump Force, but publisher Bandai Namco isn’t done filling out its all-star cast. The next anime headliner stepping into the ring is none other thanMy Hero Academia’sShoto Todoroki.Todoroki is a quiet and reserved young student who carries himself with an aloofness that can be misinterpreted as arrogance. The product of an unhappy childhood, Todoroki tends to shut himself off from his fellow students, but is actually a loyal and faithful ally in battle, clearing the field with a juxtaposition of fire and ice-based powers....

Constraints often inspire creativity! Ludum Dare 30, the indie game jam, has officially begun! For the next 72 hours, many amateur (and professional) game developers are going to hunker down and do their best to create a game focused around a central theme. The theme for LD30 is“Connected Worlds.”What that means is up to each individual, which is largely what makes these jams so gosh darn great! A lot of great stuff always comes from Ludum Dare, and I frankly can’t wait to see what comes out of this one....

Capcom says “demo save data is needed” Capcomjust announced aMonster Hunter Risebonus item pack— and it has all sorts of extra consumables ready to go in it. The only catch is that you need to trytheSunbreakdemo. In case you weren’t aware, Capcom announced the demo roughly a week ago during their “E3” showcase stream, and it went live on June 14.

“Hello. Welcome to Detroit…” It was a warm and friendly voice, but it was coming from a young woman with a hollow, vacant face, stood in a pose like she was at one with the universe, yet ready to pounce into action at a second’s notice. This was the “android” managing the queue for the booth set up to showcase David Cage’s latest,Detroit: Become Human. As she welcomed each attendee to the queue, I watched as they responded to her, but were immediately perturbed by her thousand-yard stare and empty stance as she slowly scanned the surroundings....

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of reading and writing about 5th Cell’s adorableScribblenauts, an upcoming puzzle/platformer that’s been making a stir since this year’s E3, and the epic NeoGAF thread it spawned. While NeoGAF tends to be a pit of despair, from time to time its users create things that are truly great:Mama Robotnik’s re-imaginingofNew Super Mario Bros. Wiiand“The GAF Collection”spring to mind. Thenow famous“Post 217” of NeoGAF’sScribblenautsthreadhas really opened the floodgates, and GAF users Turk128 and SpacePirate Ridley have taken it upon themselves to re-create some of gamings less scribble-y characters in the game’s distinctive, paperdoll style....
