I’ve Waited 6 Years for Sims-Like Paralives, but I’m Still Relieved It’s Launching Small

by

A game’s Early Access phase is like a first impression – it shows players what the developers are aiming for, asks for their thoughts, and gives a sense of what the final game will be like. However, it can also create high expectations, particularly for games with enthusiastic fans closely following its development. Paralives is one such game, and the developers recently released a video to clearly explain what players can anticipate (and what they shouldn’t) when the game initially launches, continuing their commitment to open communication.

Hedge Funds Go Digital: 55% Jump on Crypto Bandwagon 🚀💸

by

Most managers are treading water, though. Over half keep their crypto stakes so small, it’s like putting a single M&M in a suitcase of gold bars. On average, funds are committing 7% to crypto-related investments. But hey, 7% is a very generous tip at a Bitcoin buffet. And 71% plan to up their game next year-because nothing says “risk management” like doubling down on an asset that can evaporate faster than your patience during a Zoom call.

9 Out of 10 Best Magic: The Gathering Standard Decks Are Broken By This Avatar Card

by

Let’s talk about the current state of the game. Honestly, right now, things feel a little… predictable. Certain decks are just head and shoulders above the rest, really defining what everyone’s playing. Standard is the biggest example – Izzet Cauldron and mono-Red aggro are seriously dominating. Looking at the numbers from mtgdecks.net, which tracks tournament results and player choices, here’s a breakdown of how the top 10 decks are performing…

2025 Switch Console Exclusive Now Available on PlayStation and Xbox

by

I first jumped into Dark Deity back in June 2021 when it came out on PC. Then, in March 2022, it landed on the Switch, and honestly, it’s been a Switch exclusive ever since – they never brought it to any other consoles. The sequel followed a similar pattern: PC release in March 2025, then the Switch eShop six months later. But unlike the first game, the sequel’s time as a Switch exclusive didn’t last long – only a little over two months, actually!

Better Open-World Games Than Red Dead Redemption 2

by

As a huge Rockstar fan, it’s tough to pick just one game, but if we’re leaving out Red Dead Redemption 2, I think GTA 4 deserves all the praise. It really changed the game for them, setting a new standard for open-world stories. What I love about Grand Theft Auto 4 is how different it is – it’s way more serious and even feels pretty political. You play as Niko Bellic, a guy who comes to Liberty City from Europe hoping to leave a terrible past behind. But the city quickly shows him that the American Dream isn’t what it seems – it’s all about money and hiding a lot of darkness.

Escape From Tarkov Director Comments on Possibility of Steam Review Bombing

by

Escape From Tarkov has been available in early access since 2017, so the developers are well aware of how players react to changes. The game has often been criticized for cheaters, and its attempts to achieve perfect balance through frequent updates haven’t always been successful. Recently, players were unhappy to learn they’d have to purchase the game again on Steam even if they already owned it, and this frustration could lead to negative reviews when the game officially launches on that platform.
