With the huge success of the Grand Theft Auto series, it didn’t take long for similar open-world games to be released. While many GTA-like games failed, the Saints Row series thrived. One way it differentiated itself from the Rockstar series was by focusing on gang warfare. Although gangs have appeared in GTA, they’ve never truly been the focus of the series like in Saints Row. The franchise’s main protagonist group is the 3rd Street Saints gang, and this list ranks its members from the worst to the best....

There’s a wide range of things that you won’t run out of in Shindo Life. This includes weapons, jutsu, companions, and more. But the only issue with this Roblox game is that its items spawn only during a specific time. So, you need to get your clocks right for these different categories. Aside from a set time, these weapons, sub-abilities, and companions also spawn at a specific location. Not to worry, here are the exact spawn times and locations for all the weapons, sub-abilities, and companions in Shindo Life....

A Sims streamer has taken the tiny living challenge to new extremes by creating a single tile bathroom. Some people really like cozy environments. Small abodes can be advantageous: they’re cheap, have small carbon footprints, and they provide solitude and comfort in a world increasingly full of mixed living arrangements. What’s true in real life is also true for The Sims, with the recent addition of Tiny Living mode. Learning how to live large by living small has come with some challenges, but many are now living their best life in a tiny home....

Earlier this month the Sims 4 team announced that they were beginning the process of developing another Stuff Pack based on community feedback. Previously this idea was trialed by SimGuruGraham and led to the development of the Laundry Day Stuff Pack. This time the process has been refined and votes are taking place via the forums, social media, or through the games menu. The first vote was on the subject of pack theme and the results are now in....

It only takes a pair of eyes to see that Skull & Bones has been in trouble. Once a spin-off of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, the pirate-themed multiplayer game sounded like a slam dunk on paper. However, after years of delays following its 2017 reveal, it’s become clear that the ship has been on turbulent seas. In a report by Kotaku today, anonymous sources weave a tale comprised of eight years of development hell covering mismanagement, toxicity, and more....

Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts has several skill groups, each with its branches. Higher tiers would need you to unlock lower-tier upgrades first. Some tiers may offer two perks — and you can unlock both — but only one will be active at any given time. Additionally, tier 1 and tier 2 skills will only cost you cash. However, tier 3 skills require one challenge token to unlock. Meanwhile, tier 4 skills need three challenge tokens....

Sonic the Hedgehog is going to have a really strong 2022 according to Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka. Twinfinite talked to the veteran developer at Gamescom 2022, and he mentioned that the second Sonic movie has been really successful and has ushered many people into the fanbase of the franchise. On top of that, Sonic Origins was released right after that, while Sonic Frontiers will come on November 8, to which we have to add the Netflix TV show Sonic Prime....

It sounds a lot like Marvel’s Avengers will get She-Hulk as a playable character. The detail was dropped rather unexpectedly last night, as part of an official Xbox Twitch livestream for the game featuring streamer Frank “Techniq” Ellerbe and Marvel’s Avengers lead designer Brian Waggoner. In an off-the-cuff comment, Ellerbe claimed his acting coach was actually the voice of She-Hulk in the game, to the obvious surprise of Waggoner - who stated that the character had not yet been officially confirmed....

This South Park review contains spoilers. South Park Season 23 Episode 10 Santa Claus is as old as South Park itself. Saint Nick first appeared in Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s underground short “The Spirit of Christmas,” the viral video that led to the creation of South Park—long before viral videos were even a thing. The concept of “Father Christmas” dates back to 16th century England. So you can forgive Kris Kringle if he’s a little conservative in the philosophical sense....

Square Enix will be collaborating with charity Centrepoint to raise awareness of teenage homelessness throughout the month of December (via MCV). This is a “crucial” time of the year for homelessness, and the publisher said it would support Centrepoint’s current campaigns through the official Life is Strange social channels. It will also hold an “an awareness driving livestream with a selection of partner content creators” at an unannounced date in December....

The final chapter in a series that’s been around for more than 40 years is fast approaching, and with it will come an end to the tale of the Skywalkers, a saga nine movies in the making. But obviously, that’s not the end for the Star Wars franchise, not by any stretch, with a whole raft of projects on the slate. Things are ticking along particularly fast in the world of the small screen, with The Mandalorian already out on Disney+, with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Cassian Andor series also on the way....

While Star Wars fans will most likely be indefinitely satisfied with The Old Republic, not everybody likes the play style of RPGs. On the Xbox, fans had a few options as to how to get their Star Wars fix. One was Knights of the Old Republic, another was the mega-hit Battlefront series. Finally, not quite as popular as the first two, but garnering its own fan following, was Star Wars: Republic Commando....

Most Star Wars fans know that George Lucas’ penchant for single-environment planets has no end. Desert planets, city planets, planets with never ending rain, and ice planets are common archetypes found within the Star Wars universe. One particular Star Wars planet escaped scrutiny for some time now; however fans will not have to settle for only the glimpses of this place in Episode III and IV any longer! The developers of Star Wars: The Old Republic have announced the inclusion of the planet of Alderaan to the already exhausting list of environments for the follow up MMORPG to the successful single-player Knights of the Old Republic franchise....

I have been extremely excited for StarCraft 2 ever since it was announced back in 2006. Even though I sort of had a rough relationship with the first one, for some reason the second always felt like a game I would thoroughly enjoy. Maybe it was because coming to StarCraft so late in its life, there was always a sense of being unforgivably late to a really awesome party and discovering the tone had shifted from “let’s have a good time” to the inevitable “I don’t want to go home alone....

During Microsoft’s E3 presentation, we got a look at a swanky State of Decay 2 trailer. Have a gander at it below. State of Decay 2 is out Spring 2018.
