The Sims 4: 12 Best Websites To Find Custom Content

Considerable advancements have been made in the technology of virtual reality gaming in recent years, and many who have tried some of the incredible games on systems such as the Meta Quest 2 have found that even games not marketed as fitness programs can be incredibly physically demanding at times. Virtual reality games that are designed for physical fitness can provide a wonderful way to stay active. Without ever having to leave the comfort of home to brave the crowds at a gym or face inclement weather outside, players can enter any number of virtual worlds to get a new way to work their muscles.

Paradox Interactive's upcoming life simulator, Life By You, might be an upcoming challenger to The Sims, but it shares a similar core ethos with that of a very unexpected board game: chess.

2023 was a banner year for anime. From beloved continuing series like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and Jujutsu Kaisen to long-awaited passion projects like Pluto and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, there was pretty much something for every type of anime fan. While we’ve already published our picks for the best anime of the year and where to watch them, we also wanted to highlight one of the important yet overlooked elements of any great anime: the opening title sequence.

It’s been a great year in movies. So great, in fact, that it was hard to limit our year-end list to just the 50 best new movies. Similarly, TV had a stellar year, and the 50 best new shows only scratches the surface of the year in episodic storytelling.

Have you heard? 2023 was the year concert films saved cinema — or at least boosted movie theaters. Normally, it would be difficult to wrangle up enough notable entries to warrant an end-of-year concert movie ranking, but not this year. This year, the concert film ruled. Taylor Swift and Beyoncé sidestepped Hollywood to work directly with theaters for the distributions of their respective box-office champions. Culture-shifting global superstars BTS managed to make waves in theaters, despite being on group hiatus for all of 2023. And Hollywood indie darling A24 re-released 1984’s Stop Making Sense, widely considered to be one of the best concert films of all time.

After a 2022 that gave us RRR, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Top Gun: Maverick, it was hard to imagine this year could match that level of action excellence. But 2023 came through.

As the sun sets on 2023, it’s time to look back at the year’s digital masterpieces. From groundbreaking graphics to storytelling that tugs at the heartstrings, here are the 20 best video games of 2023.

Investing in your next ship is no small endeavor in Starfield. Each one costs a hefty amount of credits, not to mention the time and effort poured into leveling up your pilot skill to fly certain ship classes. No one wants to buy a whole ship only to realize on the first test drive that it isn't really your style.

Just like in the real world, living in is expensive, which makes the best-paying careers tempting ventures. Upon its release in 2014, the game came packaged with ten full-time careers, each with two distinct career branches. Since then, plenty of additional options have made their way into the game — whether it's through base game patches, content packs, or expansions, and many of the newer careers can be even more lucrative than what came with the base game.

Though Baldur’s Gate 3 is a multi-award-winning and highly regarded fantasy RPG, you can always download some mods to add even more individuality and customization to your playthrough (if you’re playing on PC, that is). Do you wish Astarion was femme? There’s a mod for that. Do you want more character customization options? There are lots of mods for that. And if the actual gameplay isn’t exactly what you want, there are dozens of mods for that, too.

The festive period is finally upon us, and what better time is there to kick back on the sofa and work through your watch list? As usual, too, this Christmas is jam-packed full of great new releases on streaming, meaning that there will be plenty to keep you occupied after stuffing yourself with turkey. Among the highlights are a festive Doctor Who special to kick off Ncuti Gatwa's season as the Time Lord as well as Zack Snyder's hugely-anticipated new sci-fi adventure, Rebel Moon Part One.
