• Gears Of War: E-Day Skipping PS5 Means Reaching Fewer Players, And Microsoft Is OK With That

  10-06-2026 20:07 via gamespot.com
  
  Gears of War: E-Day was reportedly planned for PlayStation 5, but Microsoft has opted to skip a Sony version. The decision was apparently not made at the last minute as some suspected. In any event, the developers at The Coalition are OK with the game skipping PS5, even if it means reaching fewer players, and presumably making less money, overall.
  The Coalition studio creative director Matt Searcy told Eurogamer, that, "We never talked about" bringing E-Day to PS5 in the first place. That is tru

  Paralives is a new life simulator game inspired by The Sims franchise, and just like its inspiration, there are plenty of mods you can download to create a more immersive experience. While Paralives is still in its infancy, mod creators have been hard at work to give you more control over your paras and the game as a whole. Of course, it will take a long time before you have access to a mod library as expansive as The Sims, but the game is off to a great start. You can spend precious time s

• This New Open-World Pokemon Competitor Is Wildly Ambitious

  10-06-2026 19:24 via gamespot.com
  
  It used to feel like we had Pokemon, and that was it if you liked creature-collection games. Sure, Digimon was around too, but it was nothing like the genre today, where multiple indies inspired by Pokemon have come onto the scene and found big audiences, such as Cassette Beasts, Beastieball, TemTem, and Palworld. Aniimo is arguably the most striking of them all, and not just because of its vibrant, anime-esque art style that magnificently jumps off the screen. I recently played about 30 mi

• Silent Hill: Townfall Could Be The Scariest Silent Hill Game Yet

  10-06-2026 18:56 via gamespot.com
  
  Generally, when a long-running series begins to rapidly switch up its format--jumping between settings, protagonists, perspectives, themes, and even development teams--you might accuse said series of being a bit, well, lost in the fog. It's easy to look at efforts like these and perceive the franchise as floundering--desperate to find something, anything, that might help forge a strong, new identity. Silent Hill, however, is the rare exception.In the past few years, Silent Hill has released a be

  Yesterday's Nintendo Direct certainly got Kingdom Hearts players talking--but it's not the kind of discourse Square Enix was probably hoping for after unveiling a new Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer and announcing that native versions of the entire Kingdom Hearts trilogy are coming to Switch 2 on October 8. Instead, eagle-eyed players are focused on what appears to be AI-generated key art, which Square Enix shared on X shortly after the announcement of the Kingdom Hearts Collection [I-III]As pointed ou

  Popping Locust heads and active reloading has never looked better than in Gears of War: E-Day, but this prequel is also making some big changes to how you'll move through the campaign.

Each NPC has a unique personality and goals, and according to Playground Games, each one can be romanced. In fact, it's possible to marry every single one--just not all at once, as Fable has a monogamous approach to love."There are over 1,000 handcrafted NPCs in the game, and
