The Sims 4 has been a hit for over ten years, celebrating its 12th anniversary this year. Players love creating families within the game and watching those families grow through many generations. It’s already tough to keep just one Sim alive, but managing multiple generations is a real challenge! While The Sims is one of the most beloved life simulation series, its age and popularity don’t protect it from bugs that can seriously disrupt a player’s game.

Xbox fans hoping for more games only available on Microsoft platforms might be disappointed, as that doesn’t appear to be the immediate plan.

Luckily, many free browser games now offer similar experiences without requiring a subscription. These games use real-world imagery – like street views, videos, and satellite photos – or map puzzles to challenge your geography skills. Some let you play a classic location-guessing game endlessly, while others offer daily puzzles, competitive play, or unique ways to explore the world.

The Trading Post is an in-game store offering new cosmetic items each month. You use a special currency called Trader’s Tender to buy things there. You earn Trader’s Tender by having an active subscription, completing monthly challenges, or sometimes by purchasing bundles or pre-ordering expansions in the in-game cash shop.

The recent ‘Shrouded Sky’ update for ARC Raiders added a lot of new content, but also included several balance changes and nerfs that players aren’t pleased with. While the developers at Embark did reduce the power of commonly used weapons like the Kettle and Stitcher to bring them in line with stronger guns like the Bobcat, fans are confused by other changes. Specifically, crafting requirements for items like Deadlines and Wolfpacks have been increased, which many players feel was an unnecessary adjustment.

The new Ascended Heroes Pokemon card set showcases the best cards released over the past year. It introduces several new Pokemon with gameplay features that were popular in 2025, including reprinted versions of sought-after Stellar Tera Pokemon, new Owner’s Pokemon, and even Mega Pokemon. The set also features the first cards based on characters from the upcoming Pokemon Legends: Z-A game – Urbain and Canari each have their own cards, and Corbeau appears on a reprinted version of the well-known Supporter card, Boss’s Orders. Interestingly, fans recently found a reference to a famous card from the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game within the official Ascended Heroes player’s guide.

While many Super Sentai heroes have similar characters in Power Rangers, their abilities aren’t always identical. The Power Rangers versions often change things beyond just using the same action scenes. Usually, a Red Ranger in Super Sentai is significantly more powerful than their Power Rangers equivalent. However, the shows frequently demonstrate that not all Red Rangers are equally strong.

While each Hokage is skilled with basic ninja techniques and tools like shuriken, they’re really defined by their most powerful, signature moves. Some Hokage even created completely new, incredibly strong techniques or were the only ones who knew certain fighting styles. This makes it possible to identify each Hokage’s ultimate move and rank them based on how powerful and useful they are in battle.

Many horror board games require players to cooperate, but they also cleverly challenge how much they trust each other. Some games even require players to betray one another, or have unexpected events that turn players into the villains.
