Let's be honest, when it comes to The Sims, sometimes it is quite a lot of fun to kill off various members of your community, be it by letting them get devoured by a cowplant or the always classic pool ladder removal technique (although, you now also need walls to box those Sims in).

Microsoft has launched the Xbox Adaptive Joystick, a companion controller that looks very similar to the Wii's Nunchuk accessory.

Nickit makes its debut in Pokémon Go as part of March 2025’s “Deep Depths” event. The Galar dark-type can evolve into Thievul as part of its evolution line, provided you have enough Candy. Unlike many new Pokémon added to Pokémon Go in the past year, Nickit can be encountered in the wild — though there...

AMD's new Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards have proven to be a hit with gamers, so much so that stock dried up almost immediately, and manufacturers started inflating prices above the $599 and $549 MSRPs. A new report suggests that AMD shipped over 200,000 of these new cards, but it's not entirely clear whether this number is to customers or retailers. In our 9070 XT review, we hailed this new AMD GPU as one of the best graphics cards that your money can buy. The issue, however, has ...

Playdate, the little yellow gaming machine with a crank, is getting a price increase in a few days. In a newsletter that Panic has sent out, the developer said that Playdates will cost $229 starting on March 25 but that you can still get the device for $199 until then. Apparently, Panic moved to a new factory, and it would "cost quite a bit more" to manufacture the devices there than at the company's old facility. Panic cited manufacturing costs, as well, when it raised the handheld's price from...

Ambition is a great thing. It drives us to seek out bigger and bigger things, or even just something new. No one knows that better than Opus protagonist Ariel (Ayo Edebiri), a music writer who can’t get a single pitch through her editor (at least, without him stealing it). That changes when aging pop star...

In macOS, you can easily convert the format of images using a Quick Action in Finder or you can achieve the same thing via the Preview app, but if your daily workflow requires you to repeatedly convert images – for uploading to a blog, for example – then using a Folder Action can be a much faster way of getting the job done. In this article, we'll show you how to use the macOS Automator app to create a very simple Folder Action that will automatically convert images dropped into a specific folde...

We've found yet another stunning gaming monitor deal. This time, it's the Acer Nitro XF273, which is exclusive to Best Buy and currently on sale for just $129.99, an almost 50% saving against its $249.99 MSRP. This Acer Nitro display has the potential to be one of the best gaming monitors for anyone on a budget, especially at this price. It's also a Best Buy exclusive, meaning you won't have to worry about it dropping in price with another retailer once you buy it.

As its early access launch soars into view, new life game InZOI is setting itself up for a big 2025 with an extensive roadmap of planned updates. In a new livestream from Krafton’s InZOI Studio, game director Hyungjun ‘Kjun’ Kim delivers the long-awaited InZOI price, and reveals a full list of planned updates as he states that the team wants to ensure “no player [is] left behind on our journey toward InZOI’s completion.”

Forthcoming life sim InZoi - the plucky (genAI-ridden) David to The Sims 4's Goliath - will cost $40 at its early access launch, the developers have announced. What's more, "all updates and DLCs will be provided for free" until the game hits 1.0, according to translated commentary from game director Hyungjun Kim. This is being styled as a gift unto the gamers, and another way of tempting them from the clutches of The Sims, whose DLC packs commonly sell for full-game prices. The other way of look...

The casual side just has more appeal.

Who are the Assassin's Creed Shadows bosses? Initially referred to as the Onryo, before later being unveiled as the Shinbakufu, Shadows’ big bads have done a stellar job of making enemies of Naoe and Yasuke. But they aren't the only challenges you have ahead of you. The AC Shadows bosses represent a complex web of evil that spans every corner of Japan. Suffice it to say, you’re going to be spending the lion’s share of the open-world RPG hunting them down, taking vengeance, and retrieving what wa...

Want to know how to unlock Yasuke in Assassin’s Creed Shadows? While you get to play as the slave turned samurai in the game’s opening hours, there’s a chance you won’t see him for a while, unless you’re already heading in the right direction. Despite all the marketing in the lead up to the Assassin’s Creed Shadows release date, Naoe is certainly the primary protagonist in the RPG, at least she is at the beginning of the game. Assassin’s Creed Shadows boasts a dual protagonist system, giving you...

Typing “cozy” into the Fallout 4 section of Nexus Mods doesn’t bring you as many actually cozy mods as you might think. According to modders, a custom bedroom with an American flag, something called “visible rain,” and a busty sweater are all cozy. I realize that the nuclear post-apocalypse isn’t exactly chill, but mods are...

What's the pettiest reason you began to distance yourself from an old friend? I once casually suggested to a mate that I found toast more filling than bread, which prompted them to bang on for far too long about how I was actually wrong, since the act of toasting necessarily diminishes the structure of bread or somesuch. I'm not sure whether that's true and I don't care. I was speaking my truth about toast and you undermined it. Jog on, toast denier. Fallout 76's new Ghoul Within update is 18.9 ...

Hasbro has "a lot of people very interested in Baldur's Gate", as developer Larian moves away from the series.

One more sleep! If you're one of the lucky few who happens to have games delivered a day or two before their official release date, then congratulations, we hope you're having an absolute blast with Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition!

Since we were so busy yesterday getting our review all ready to go (and checking out ...

Following on from the big stable release back in late February that gave us VRR for multiple displays and various bug fixes, NVIDIA have released driver version 570.133.07.

Apple fixed a bug in its Passwords app with December's iOS 18.2 update that had left users vulnerable to phishing attacks in the three months since the launch of iOS 18. According to an Apple security update spotted by 9to5Mac, the Passwords app was sending unencrypted requests for the logos and icons associated with users' stored passwords. Without protections of encryption, an attacker on the same Wi-Fi network could redirect a user's browser to a clone phishing site where login details could ...

"We appreciate your continued support". Last month, Nintendo announced it would be discontinuing the My Nintendo Gold Points program, with it no longer possible to earn these points after a certain date. In case you missed this, Nintendo has issued a reminder on social media ahead of the big day next week on 24th March 2025 (or 25th March depending on your location). While you'll no longer be able to receive Gold Points from purchases, there will still be other ways to earn points:

Today's Wordle: Help with the daily puzzle.

"No, that is not happening". It's a new era for Niantic's mobile hit Pokémon GO now that the games division has been sold to Scopely for $3.5 billion. This has naturally raised some concerns about the title's future - with some players reportedly worried about "intrusive ads" and possible restrictions on playtime being introduced. Pokémon GO's senior product director Michael Steranka has acknowledged these concerns during a chat with Polygon and the answer is "no, that is not happening" and the ...
