New main menu, create-a-sim options, and objects The Sims 4is getting a makeover. Okay it’s mostly cosmetic in nature (no not that “cosmetic,” well kinda), but it’s getting one all the same. The game will sport new box art and some UI changes, including a new loading screen and the option to take a personality test when creating Sims. “Over 1000 objects” are also unlocked for build and buy. So yeah it’s mostly just a rework to give the game a new coat of paint after nearly five years, but it’s something....

We’ve featured musician Shnabubula’s videogame-themedalbumsin thepast, so I’m nothing less than pleased about his latest endeavor. Back in May, he releasedSNESology, a completely free collection of original music that used instrument soundsets from specific SNES games. However, that was just the start of something bigger. Shnabubula has since invited various artists from the arrangement community to contribute their own SNES-inspired songs to theongoing SNESology initiative. Among thecurrently available tunesare original numbers as well as remakes of pre-existing game tracks in the style of a completely different game....

Updated: August 06, 2025 We looked for new codes! PlayingSol’s RNGgave me a different fighting experience, breaking the monotony with randomized situations. It can get boring to follow a strict pattern when grinding for XP, but that’s not a thing here. Quests are essential in this game if you want to earn cash and buy upgrades. The last missing piece to make this experience better overall isSol’s RNGcodes. Unfortunately, there are none at the moment, but we are awaiting the code redemption feature in future updates....

On April 7, The Soul Sacrifice Premium Edition will be available for 24,980 yen (about $250). Aside from the game, the main draw for this bundle is the Cosmic Red WiFi Vita system, which has a cool red-on-black design on the rear touchpad....

Now, players can download the game pre-release on its platforms, but it will be truly ready to play when September 6 (or September 1 for early access players) rolls around. Unfortunately, Steam users will have to wait longer forStarfieldpreloads to take effect. Those who own an Xbox Series X|S or a PC with the Xbox appcan preloadStarfieldon August 17....

Controller and Steam Link, too In true Valve fashion, we’ve waited years to see if Steam Machines will ever actually see the light of day. They were revealed a long time ago, but then they just sort of never came out. Well, the first batch is definitely set to hit stores on November 10, but you’re able to get them considerably sooner than that. Pre-orders have opened up for a handful of models of Steam Machines, the Steam Controller, and Steam Link (home network streaming device)....

A weird walk through a decaying world SkyBox Labs stylistic platform adventureStelawill be making its way to PC and Nintendo Switch in just a couple of weeks, following on from its October release on the Apple Arcade and Xbox One platforms. For those of you who missed out,Stelais an abstract adventure which follows a lonely woman’s journey through a collapsing fantasy world, filled with surreal, dangerous creatures and bleakly beautiful landscapes....

Liquid Swords Liquid Swordsreleased in 1995, a solo album side project from Wu-Tang Clan founding member GZA. This was the route most of them went after the success of the group’s first album36 Chambers. No one missed. RZA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah — they all released solo albums in the years following36 Chambers, and they’re all regarded anywhere from great to incredible. None rub elbows with the praise of “masterpiece” and “all-time classic” and “one of the most influential hip-hop records ever” likeLiquid Swords, though....

Decisions, decisions Between theSNES ClassicandCupheadboth launching today, I’m in gaming heaven. Chris joked that it was like Christmas morning for me. It really is! Now here’seven morestuff I gotta get my hands on. Funko isproducinga series ofCupheadvinyl figures, and this is the first time the company’s wares have ever seriously tempted me. There’s 4″ Cuphead and Mugman figures (sold separately), a 6″ Devil, and a New York Comic-Con two-pack of Cuphead and Mugman that are black-and-white variants....

It was only a matter of time In my opinion,Trombone Champis one of the best things to happen to gaming all year. It’s easy for anyone to pick up, it’s well-designed, and it’s laugh-out-loud goofy. I was skeptical when I heard someone say it’s a Game of the Year contender, but it only took a few minutes into playing it to make me a believer. Now that the game’s popularity has launched into the stratosphere, thanks to word of mouth on social media, we’re starting to see the mods slowly roll in, which is exciting for someone who is very much a fan of mods....

Roughly 10 minutes The story of howSplatoonwas created is fairly well-known at this point, but catching up on all of it in a digestible 10-minute video is always great. We move through the game’s many phases, which began with a Nintendo Game Jam of sorts, then onto the concept of tofu shooting each other, then the popular rabbit concept, then finally the marriage of human and squid into the Squid Kids....

Look to the skies InElden Ring, there are a ton of little dungeons to discover and explore, and one type of those dungeons is designated as “graves.” A few of them are among the most taxing zones in the game, especially if you happen upon the FringeFolk Hero’s Grave early on in the game. But this littleElden Ringgraves trick, discovered by the community, might make a few of those visits easier....

Rhythmic dread Today I stopped by the PlayStation booth at PAX East to take a look at a rhythm-hell fever dream that I’ve much looked forward to:Thumper. Youknowyour boy hopped directly into the opportunity to experience Drool’s nightmare running on PlayStation VR. I sat down and was given a brief introduction to the game as well as the PSVR headset (both of which I’ve had no prior experience with), and the next thing I knew I had a controller in my hands, headphones on my head, andThumperin my face....
