At long last, there are a whole three full-scale, Sims-style life sims available now that Paralives has launched into early access. It feels like there may finally be something in this genre for all of us to chew on. With a handful of real options to consider, is Paralives worth getting in early access? I’ve…
Just like its life sim cousins, Paralives has quite a few money cheats you can use to get rich quick, but maybe they’re tucked away in an even longer, more complex list of Paralives cheats you don’t want to dig through. I get that, not everyone wants to know about item IDs or time hacks….
As I start my new life simming adventures in Paralives, I’ve realized that decades of using shortcuts in The Sims have spoiled me. The strategy of it all is brilliant, but if you’re anything like me and just want to play in build mode sometimes, then you’ll be happy to hear there are Paralives cheats…

Granted, this appears to be because footage of…
Holiday magic. It’s no secret that Nintendo was in a bit of a dark time at the end of the Wii U era. With sales down and everyone awaiting the next console (or should we say ‘NX console’?), the company needed something to bring in the big bucks over the holidays. The answer, alongside amiibo,…
“JTCPS3 is finally coming together”. Ever since the MiSTer FPGA project took off, there’s been a hypothetical debate about how far it can be pushed in reproducing the performance of classic hardware. Capcom’s powerful CPS3 arcade system is one of the platforms many people assumed might be out of reach, but developer JOTEGO has been…
It finally happened. Star Citizen has officially surpassed $1 billion in player funding. Well, I say ‘finally’, it actually crashed through the barrier a lot faster than I expected. I’ve kept a close eye on the funding tracker for Cloud Imperium Games’ hugely ambitious space MMO as it approached the big one-billy milestone, and with…
