We’re talking games that will leave you daydreaming about them days or weeks after being played. Scary games that will push your nerves to the brink.</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Below, we’ve put together a list of the<strong> top 10 scary video games</strong> and scary PC games guaranteed to rock your socks, from any genre and style. In fact, these aren't the most expensive of scary games, either - we’re including some of the best <em>free </em>scary games.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-makes-the best-scary-games?\">What Makes the Best Scary Games?</h2>\n\n<p>What <em>are</em> scary games? Ultimately, there must be an air of uncertainty and fear that runs through the plotline and the general atmosphere of the game.</p>\n\n<p>Whether it’s <a href=\"https://www.thegamer.com/best-horror-game-soundtracks/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the game’s soundtrack</a> or the in-game sound effects, scary games generally create a feeling of loneliness and desperation that few other genres can compete with.</p>\n\n<p>It bares stressing that the best scary games aren’t just atmospheric and bleak, they are designed to keep you on the edge of your seat too, <em>constantly</em>. You’ll find jumpy moments lurking around every corner.</p>\n\n<p>The most fun scary games are those that can transport you directly into the game environment and make you feel completely submberged, even <em>without </em>VR gear.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Scary games are all about submerging into unknown territories\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/scary-games-2.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 426px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"10-scary-games-guaranteed-to-tingle-your-spine\">10 Scary Games Guaranteed to Tingle Your Spine</h2>\n\n<h3 id=\"1)-level-zero\">1) Level Zero</h3>\n\n<p>DogHowl Games released Level Zero back in September 2021, bringing its unique brand of first-person online multiplayer scary games to the world. It’s a tactical game, transporting you into a virtual space station. You’re one of only a handful of survivors that must get the space station back up and running whilst under attack from monsters. As an online multiplayer, the cool thing is that you can choose to play as one of the monsters or the survivors to experience both sides of the plot.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"2)-the-medium\">2) The Medium</h3>\n\n<p>As scary online games go, The Medium is up there with the best of them. Bloober Team’s psychological horror is sure to play with your mind. Played in the third person, The Medium requires all your strength and intuition to solve this dark mystery. You’ll take control of Marianne, herself a medium capable of embarking on journeys into the spirit realm. It’s these sinister spirits that you’ll have to be mindful of.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"3)-trollface-quest:-horror-1\">3) TrollFace Quest: Horror 1</h3>\n\n<p>On the face of it, you wouldn’t think that puzzle-based <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a> would have the ability to frighten you, but this title will make you laugh and hide behind your hands with equal measure. Take on the evil scammer TrollFace and all his monstrous cronies in a bid to solve a string of puzzles and challenges. With 16 different levels of gameplay, you’ll find it hard to tire of this cartoon-style 2D game.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"4)-jeff’s-revenge\">4) Jeff’s Revenge</h3>\n\n<p>Jeff’s Revenge is the fourth iteration of the Let’s Kill Jeff series. It’s a heart-pounding horror action-adventure, with a choice of two player campaigns to select from, giving it a tasty <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PVP element</a>. You can either control Jeff the Killer and get your hands on hidden objects within the deserted town or play the role of a nameless soldier, attempting to catch and eliminate Jeff in tandem with seven other AI-controlled soldiers.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Do you like scary games?\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/scary-games-3.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 427px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"5)-until-dawn\">5) Until Dawn</h3>\n\n<p>Released in 2015, Supermassive Games’ Until Dawn still has the pull as one of the best scary video games right now. PlayStation 4 owners will be pleased to know it’s available exclusively on this console. This horror-drama sees you take control of a group of eight young adults visiting a remote Blackwood Mountain lodge when their lives take a sinister turn.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"6)-little-nightmares-2\">6) Little Nightmares 2</h3>\n\n<p>The February 2021 release of the Little Nightmares sequel has attracted rave reviews. Described by publishers Bandai Namco Entertainment as a puzzle-platform horror adventure, there’s a lot going on here. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to help Mono – and their new pal Six – escape the cruel world that’s been distorted by an evil transmission. Track the source of the transmission to save the planet.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"7)-resident-evil-village\">7) Resident Evil Village</h3>\n\n<p>The eighth iteration of the iconic Resident Evil franchise had the potential to be one of the finest scary games of all time – and it didn’t disappoint. Its unique blend of storytelling and intense first-person gameplay makes this one of the first scary games you should try. Although Village maintains several of the survival horror facets that’ve made Resident Evil such an award-winning series, the increased combat and enemy encounters heighten the drama and explains why it’s already shifted more than 6.1 million units.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"8)-tormented-souls\">8) Tormented Souls</h3>\n\n<p>It's clear PQube’s Tormented Souls took inspiration from Resident Evil Village, but it’s important to state that this release stands on its own as one of the best scary games in recent memory. With its atmospheric and cinematic style, Tormented Souls sees you embark on a journey with Caroline Walker – a woman intent on uncovering the unsolved disappearance of twins from a hospital with plenty of history behind it.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"9)-dead-silence\">9) Dead Silence</h3>\n\n<p>Roblox is also home to many iconic free scary games, many of which are scary multiplayer games that can ramp up the tension among groups of friends or family – a perfect way to celebrate a <a href=\"/en/blog/halloween-horror-games/\">spooky Halloween night</a>. Dead Silence remains by far and away the most popular of the scary Roblox games to play with friends. This one-to-four-player horror sees you attempt to uncover the legend of the mysterious ‘Mary S’ – if you dare.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"10)-ghostwire:-tokyo\">10) Ghostwire: Tokyo</h3>\n\n<p>Tango Gameworks has hit the spot with their March 2022 release of Ghostwire: Tokyo. Released as a global one-year exclusive on PC and PlayStation 5, this terrifying action-adventure has been so successful that its director is already planning a sequel.

Within this guide to NFT gaming, we’ll explain what NFTs mean, how they operate, and how they might enhance the gaming experience.</p>\n\n<p>We will also list some of the most popular NFT gaming titles acting as the road testers of the NFT gaming concept.</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-does-nft-mean-in-gaming?\">What Does NFT Mean in Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p>An NFT is a form of cryptocurrency, but it differs from the likes of Bitcoin and Ethereum due to its lack of fungibility. Unlike Bitcoin, where one unit of BTC can be bought and sold for another, NFTs represent ownership of an underlying asset.</p>\n\n<p>The first example of an overlap between NFTs and gaming occurred when the Ethereum-based blockchain game <a href=\"https://www.cryptokitties.co/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">CryptoKitties</a> launched NFTs for their players to earn and trade.</p>\n\n<p>These NFTs equated to ownership of unique images of cartoon cats that could be exchanged and sold.</p>\n\n<p>Since then, the gaming industry has allowed NFT gaming to proliferate, creating a new play-to-earn gaming model. Gamers can play and earn unique in-game assets and items that can be used, sold, or exchanged for other in-game assets.</p>\n\n<p>It could be anything from new characters or weapons to new levels or maps. However you earn these gaming NFT assets, each NFT gives you exclusive ownership rights over them while they’re in your hands.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"NFT in gaming is simpler than it might sound\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nft-gaming-2.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 640px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-nft-in-gaming:-5-interesting-facts\">What is NFT in gaming: 5 interesting facts</h2>\n\n<h3 id=\"1.-nfts-give-gamers-even-greater-control-than-microtransactions\">1. NFTs give gamers even greater control than microtransactions</h3>\n\n<p>Video gamers have long been accustomed to purchasing in-game items and accessories via microtransactions. NFTs are the next generation of microtransactions, handing gamers even greater power with the ability to buy and exchange assets or even earn a percentage from future resales. The NFT marketplace could inspire enthusiasts of video game franchises to create unofficial NFT-powered assets such as fan art and external projects inspired by in-game storylines.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"2.-nft-gaming-provides-a-unique-gateway-to-cryptocurrency\">2. NFT gaming provides a unique gateway to cryptocurrency</h3>\n\n<p>The rise of NFT gaming is simultaneously raising awareness of the power of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. <a href=\"https://www.crunchbase.com/person/aleksander-leonard-larsen\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Aleksander Leonard Larsen</a>, co-founder of the hugely popular NFT gaming title Axie Infinity, said that half of its active player base had never traded cryptocurrency before engaging with the play-to-earn model.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"3.-nfts-are-focusing-on-interoperability\">3. NFTs are focusing on interoperability</h3>\n\n<p>Perhaps the biggest idea for NFT gaming and video game publishers is the concept of the interoperability of NFTs. Tokens housed within a \"local\" blockchain of gamers actively playing within the same franchise will be able to transfer NFTs and enhance earlier or future releases with exclusive in-game assets compatible with an entire series.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"4.-nft-gaming-collectibles-are-already-on-the-rise\">4. NFT gaming collectibles are already on the rise</h3>\n\n<p>Video game publishers are already working hard to devise collectible NFTs that long-time fans of gaming franchises can invest in as rare pieces of gaming history. It could be retro MIDI-style game sounds or game art, or even physical memorabilia like paintings, figurines, and statues. Anything that celebrates a video game’s lifespan. For example, Capcom opted to create NFT trading cards of iconic Street Fighter characters, including the likes of Dhalsim and Ryu.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"5.-nfts-can-bring-fanatics-even-closer-to-their-favorite-games\">5. NFTs can bring fanatics even closer to their favorite games</h3>\n\n<p>NFTs in the latest video and <a href=\"/en/games/\">online games</a> are designed to bring gaming enthusiasts closer than ever to their favorite franchises. NFTs will help to reward the loyalty of long-time players, with rewards and access to unique events and releases regardless of whether the NFT’s value rises or falls.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"NFT has the same meaning in gaming, standing for Non Fungible Token\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nft-gaming-3.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 640px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-do-nft-games-make-money?\">How do NFT games make money?</h2>\n\n<p>Although some NFT gaming is available in a <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play</a> format, the majority will ask you to purchase a starter pack or pay to unlock further in-game levels. As we’ve already mentioned about the interoperability of NFTs in games within franchises, publishers will hope to make continued income from gamers that can utilize NFTs in past and future releases.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"examples-of-the-best-gaming-nft-titles-so-far\">Examples of the best gaming NFT titles so far</h2>\n\n<p>Want to learn which play-to-earn titles are taking over the NFT gaming scene in 2022, and beyond? Here is our hit-list of five of<em> the best</em> NFT-focused games across a range of genres to get your teeth stuck into.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"1.-axie-infinity\">1. Axie Infinity</h3>\n\n<p>This game was the starting point for NFT gaming. A role-playing game based on monster breeding. Your task is to bring up your own pet Axie and breed it to foster generations of Axie creatures. With each generation, they will inherit at least one trait from their forefathers. Axies can also be collected and exchanged in the Axie Infinity NFT marketplace in the same way as Pokemon or Digimon.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"2.-gods-unchained\">2. Gods Unchained</h3>\n\n<p>Gods Unchained is right at the top of the card fighter genre. It’s a free-to-play <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PVP</a> card battle game with NFTs that are tradable and collectible. Players can earn \"GODS tokens\", which can also be used to improve NFTs or unlock new rare NFTs.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"3.-battle-racers\">3. Battle Racers</h3>\n\n<p>Battle Racers is one of the most popular blockchain-based action-<a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a>, whereby players can create, build and race NFT cars on weird and wacky race tracks. It’s your challenge to put together the best possible battle race car, with weaponry and parts that can be bought, traded, and tweaked to help you overcome your opponents and finish first across the line.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"4.-the-sandbox\">4. The Sandbox</h3>\n\n<p>The Sandbox is considered by many to be the \"Minecraft of NFT gaming\". Built within the Metaverse, players have the freedom to design and build their own environments and even sell and trade their own digital assets as NFTs. Although aesthetically it resembles something like Minecraft, the freedom of The Sandbox’s game mode puts this on a whole new level.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"5.-splinterlands\">5. Splinterlands</h3>\n\n<p>Hearthstone fans will find glaring similarities between this and Splinterlands. Like Gods Unchained, this is another classic card battle game, featuring the NFT mechanics of collecting and trading assets. Each card has its own attributes and status, with some rarer than others. Conquering battles and quests unlock the potential to earn additional NFTs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"NFTs in Gaming usually mean users can buy in-game goods with tokens instead of real money\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nft-gaming-4.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 543px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"should-you-try-nfts?\">Should You Try NFTs?</h2>\n\n<p>There you have it. NFT gaming is big business. Looking at Axie Infinity alone, its in-game NFTs are said to be worth upwards of<em> $2.26 billion</em>, according to <a href=\"https://dappradar.com/blog/axie-infinity-smashes-monthly-sales-numbers\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">DappRadar</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Now that you’re familiar with NFTs in gaming terms, you can try these play-to-earn games out for size on your <em>own </em>terms.</p>\n","date":"5/25/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"NFT gaming is becoming a very big business","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nft-gaming-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14827"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/towel-day/"},"strings":{"title":"How to CRUSH This Towel Day","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Towel Day is an annual global event, organized by fans of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which acts as a tribute to the late British author, Douglas Adams.</p>\n\n<p>The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Galaxy was penned as a radio comedy for the BBC in the late 1970s but later evolved into a five-book “trilogy” that would shift over 15 million units worldwide.</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>The first Towel Day was staged just a fortnight after <a href=\"https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22814/douglas-adams\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Adams’ death in 2001</a> and over the last two decades, it has become a staple date in the calendar for Hitchhikers’ fans and gamers alike.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"when-is-national-towel-day?\">When is National Towel Day?</h2>\n\n<p><strong>The annual Towel Day is celebrated on May 25</strong>. This is two weeks after the anniversary of Adams’ passing.

Fans are encouraged to take photos and videos of their towels in use throughout the day and share them on social media via the hashtag <strong>#TowelDay</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>The Happy Towel Day celebrations have been picked up by many news sources across the globe, from as far afield as <a href=\"https://www.nrk.no/osloogviken/den-internasjonale-handkledagen-1.2527887\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Norway’s Broadcasting Corporation</a>, to the Los Angeles-based <a href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10438988\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">National Public Radio</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Back in May 2010, an online petition began to encourage Google to design a Google Doodle to commemorate Towel Day, but so far those calls have fallen on deaf ears from the search engine giant.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Don't Panic!

In both the designing and the building stages, throughout the golden era of the 80s and 90s gaming.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"the-hitchhiker’s-guide-to-the-galaxy\">The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy</h3>\n\n<p>The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was unsurprisingly Adams’ first body of work in the world of video gaming. This interactive fiction release was released on 8-bit gaming machines like the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Macintosh, and the Apple II.</p>\n\n<p>Published by Infocom and Steve Meretzky, it was the 14th title released under their umbrella.</p>\n\n<p>The game mechanics are heavily text-based, creating a unique <a href=\"/en/games/genre/adventure-games/\">adventure game</a> that’s loosely linked to the storyline of the book trilogy. In fact, most of the plot resembles events that occurred in the original book.</p>\n\n<p>You assume the role of protagonist Arthur Dent, who is tasked with solving a host of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/puzzle-games/\">puzzles</a> to conquer numerous objectives to complete the game.</p>\n\n<p>In terms of the game’s lasting legacy, it proved to be one of Infocom’s top five <a href=\"https://douglasadams.com/creations/infocomjava.html\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">best-selling video game</a> titles of all time! In 2004, the BBC even unveiled a browser-based 20th Anniversary Edition powered by an Adobe Flash interface.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Towel Day is as much about celebrating Douglas Adams as it is about one of his works\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/towel-day-6.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 360px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"bureaucracy\">Bureaucracy</h3>\n\n<p>Three years after Adams’ success with his “baby”, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, he teamed up with Infocom again to develop another interactive fiction game called Bureaucracy.</p>\n\n<p>This single-player, released in 1987, was listed in the “Advanced” section of Infocom’s rating system for game difficulty.</p>\n\n<p>The concept of Bureaucracy sees you encounter a long list of bureaucratic roadblocks as a consequence of your change of address. Nothing is working or being received as it should.</p>\n\n<p>The key is to keep your player’s blood pressure under control to prevent them from suffering an aneurysm, which triggers the end of the game (talk about <a href=\"/en/blog/realistic-games/\">realism</a>...).</p>\n\n<p>At the peak of its power, Bureaucracy was listed as Game of the Month by American gaming journalist Jerry Pournelle in October 1987. It is said to have shifted more than 40,000 copies, which is a pretty mean feat given its <em>exceptional </em>niche game genre.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Towel Day could theoretically be celebrated throughout a multitude of galaxies!\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/towel-day-4.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 465px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"starship-titanic\">Starship Titanic</h3>\n\n<p>Starship Titanic was the late 90s hit on PC and Mac desktops. Adams was the lead designer of this release, developed by the Digital Village and published by Simon & Schuster Interactive.</p>\n\n<p>This title takes you on sci-fi adventures on its eponymous starship, where you’re given a mission to recover missing pieces of the ship’s control system.</p>\n\n<p>There is plenty of puzzle-based action here, as well as interaction with automated in-game bots within the Titanic. The game itself took over two years to finalize, and despite drawing sci-fi parallels with Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, it never proved a commercial success.</p>\n\n<p>This was something of a head-scratcher to many given the futuristic gameplay, engaging character dialogue – of which there was said to be <em>16 hours’ worth</em> – and the addition of <a href=\"https://collider.com/best-monty-python-movies-ranked-life-of-brian-holy-grail/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Monty Python icons</a> John Cleese and Terry Jones as members of the game’s voice cast.</p>\n\n<p>Some 17 years after its release, GOG.com re-released it for next-generation PCs in 2015.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-celebrate-towel-day\">How to Celebrate Towel Day</h2>\n\n<p>So, if you’re looking to celebrate 2022’s Towel Day and channel your inner Douglas Adams, you could choose from a plethora of different ways.</p>\n\n<p>You could read one of Adams's books, play one of his games, or simply make sure you carry a towel with you at all times, wherever you might go.</p>\n\n<p>Let's face it, if not an intergalactic traveller, a fellow human from our Earth is bound to strike a friendly conversation when they see a towel hanging from you!</p>\n","date":"5/24/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Towel Day has become popular worldwide in a very short period of time","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/towel-day-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14823"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/ouya/"},"strings":{"title":"The Rise and Fall of OUYA, the $8.6m Kickstarter Darling","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Back in 2013, there was a lot of buzz around a self-proclaimed “revolution” in gaming. In trurth, it all started in 2012 with one of <em>the </em>most successful Kickstarter-backed campaigns that the platform had ever seen.</p>\n\n<p>OUYA – billed as affordable, world-class gaming on the TV – would greatly surpass its crowd-funding goal.</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>On its way to release, a slight delay was announced, but overall, you’d say it was smooth sailing. Upon its slightly delayed launch, the OUYA game console was on shelves, it had games, a controller, and many backers had received the new hardware.</p>\n\n<p>Still, all wasn’t well with the upstart, Android-powered gaming console, and a string of what now look like red flags proved to be unsteady foundations. In the end, it couldn’t recover after a weak start, and now, the OUYA console is no more.</p>\n\n<p>So, how did OUYA reach such heights, seemingly deliver on its promises, but then crumble away onto the pile of other “industry-changing” platforms aimed at usurping the likes of Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The pretty little OUYA console\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ouya-2.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 373px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"ouya:-the-little-box-that-could\">OUYA: the Little Box that Could</h2>\n\n<p>Following the almighty showdown between the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii that <a href=\"https://www.geekwire.com/2013/xbox-360-wii-ps3-won-console-generation/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">started in 2005</a>, gamers were getting amped up for the eighth generation of consoles.</p>\n\n<p>The Wii U essentially died on arrival, while 2013 promised to be bigger and better for the overtly expensive PS4 and Xbox One. This is where OUYA saw its opening.</p>\n\n<p>With smartphone gaming growing rapidly in popularity, primarily due to its price points, founder Julie Uhrman decided that what people wanted was cost-effective gaming but on TV.</p>\n\n<p>The TV and use of a controller looked to be what were assumed to be the hallmarks of high-end gaming, while smaller app games were still recognized by the project as being popular for a reason.</p>\n\n<p>That said, the hope was also to bring in some big-name games, like <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a> or <a href=\"/en/games/genre/survival-games/\">survival games</a>.</p>\n\n<p>So, OUYA set out with the goal of essentially being the opposite of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.</p>\n\n<p><u>For example:</u></p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The OUYA Console was very minimalist in design, while the PS4 and Xbox One were big and ugly;</li>\n\t<li>Xbox One and PlayStation 4 were set to launch at $499 each, while OUYA set a price of $99;</li>\n\t<li>Video games had steadily bumped up to the $50 mark, so all OUYA games would be free-to-start.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"OUYA - A dream that almost came true\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ouya-3.webp\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 354px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Along with these customer-facing promises, the OUYA console website stated that it also wanted to make its platform accessible to all developers. All development kits could be used, the OUYA was completely hackable, and developers wouldn’t need to pay licensing fees.</p>\n\n<p>With such an idealistic vision that combined TV gaming with accessibility on all fronts, it’s not a surprise that the project was so heavily backed.</p>\n\n<p>Throw in lines like “Best of all, OUYA’s world-class controller, console, and interface come in one beautiful, inexpensive package. All the games on it will be free, at least to try,” from the <a href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-console/description\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Kickstarter page</a>, and you achieve mass appeal.</p>\n\n<p>The original goal for the project was $950,000, which certainly wasn’t a small fee in itself. After one day, it had hit<em> $2 million</em>. Once all of the backers had chipped in, the pledged amount read $8,596,474.</p>\n\n<p>People believed in this potential console killer, but around one year after the project launched (July 10, 2012), the hype turned sour.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"OUYA's plethora of promises ended not delivering \" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ouya-4.webp\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 352px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"red-flags-in-retrospect-of-the-ouya-campaign\">Red Flags in Retrospect of the Ouya Campaign</h2>\n\n<p>There were always doubts surrounding the ability of a company to sell the OUYA for $99 and live up to all of its promises, but backers were firmly behind the project. With the launch swiftly on the way for June 2013, founder Uhrman appeared as SXSW Interactive’s third keynote speaker.</p>\n\n<p>Whether it was down to the focus of it being a very cheap and accessible product or just a lack of preparation, the Q&A for the OUYA game console didn’t help its desirability.</p>\n\n<p>Not only did Uhrman bring the prototype to the stage in a brown paper bag, but it was also described as “nothing special.” It also didn’t help that Uhrman replied “I don’t know” to the question about its launch games.</p>\n\n<p>The console was nudged back to June 25, getting a few extra weeks to sort out shipping. Still, the OUYA console website was running, reported that over 100 games were on it, and pre-orders were flowing. Then came E3 2013.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"OUYA was not invited to a major gaming event\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ouya-5.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 360px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>On June 13, reports came in that OUYA had <a href=\"https://archive.kpcc.org/news/2013/06/14/37713/e3-small-startup-ouya-takes-to-the-streets-in-guer/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">set up a park</a> opposite the gaming convention as they weren’t invited to attend E3 proper.</p>\n\n<p>The Entertainment Software Association, ESA, opted to park a truck to obscure the view of the park, and so OUYA expanded in front of the truck. The ESA called in the cops, but all seemed to be in order.</p>\n\n<p>The park did have hands-on demos of some of its best games for players and opportunities for developers, but issues were picked up that were being flagged by backers.</p>\n\n<p>The OUYA game console provided the ability to play small-scale indie games and ports for free. The device had four menus: Play, Make, Manage, and Discover. Through Play and Discover, you could find OUYA games.</p>\n\n<p>On Make, developers could track the applications that they were building.</p>\n\n<p>However, the OUYA console was panned by critics as having a lot of potential but a great lack of quality. The OUYA controller was cheap and flimsy, and the OUYA games were of poor quality. It was a sharp fall from grace, and the console was discontinued in July 2015.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"End of the road for OUYA\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ouya-6.webp\" style=\"width: 400px; height: 400px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"is-ouya-still-a-thing?\">Is OUYA Still a Thing?</h2>\n\n<p>To put it simply - no, OUYA is no longer a thing. After the company and its assets were sold to Razer Inc., the OUYA console website was closed, hardware like the OUYA controller and console were discontinued, and support mercifully ended in June 2019.</p>\n\n<p>Even though the platform was very accessible, OUYA failed because it didn’t deliver its promise of having a “world-class controller, console, and interface.” All of these were widely seen as sub-par, particularly the OUYA controller, and games other than TowerFall failed to impress.</p>\n\n<p>The OUYA technically ran for several years (under Razor), but one could argue that the OUYA actually died within two years of its $8.6 million Kickstarter launch.</p>\n","date":"5/23/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The rise and fall of the OUYA console","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ouya-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14822"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-of-the-year/"},"strings":{"title":"Game of the Year Greats: In Search of Gaming’s Hits from Recent Years","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>What is the game of the year? Can anyone definitively say? </p>\n\n<p>Check out our chosen game of the year and find out which titles are in the running - and, who knows, you might just agree with us!</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>\"The game of the year\" is a subjective accolade. That’s a fairly uncontentious statement to make because, at times, every award winner stirs up some controversy. We’re going to add fuel to the proverbial fire in this article, but <em>not </em>for the sake of being divisive.</p>\n\n<p>We’ve picked out the top-rated games because we want you to know what the critics have lavished praise on (not because we want to start an argument, obviously).</p>\n\n<p>However, we also know that by proclaiming something as “game of the year,” we’re encouraging, at best, a healthy debate. This is something to keep in mind as you read through our top picks. You might disagree and have your own picks.</p>\n\n<p>Based on reviews, sales, and the critics, we’ve named <em>three </em>games of the year.</p>\n\n<p>We also picked out a few games that could be named game of the year for 2022 when the awards start coming in.</p>\n\n<p>Let's dive in!</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"pc-game-of-the-year\">PC Game of the Year</h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - 2019</li>\n\t<li>Hades - 2020</li>\n\t<li>It Takes Two – 2021</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/GAWHzGNcTEw\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>We’ve gone with Game Awards’ game of the year for 2021 as the <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC category’s</a> leading light. However, we could have also chosen Resident Evil Village as the #1 PC game of 2021.</p>\n\n<p>Why? As well as ranking among Game Awards’ top picks, the latest installment of Capcom’s Resident Evil was voted as 2021’s best game by the <a href=\"https://store.steampowered.com/steamawards\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Steam Awards community</a>.</p>\n\n<p>The first-person horror game was best in some players’ eyes because it took <a href=\"/en/blog/halloween-horror-games/\">horror</a> and suspense to a whole new level. However, if you’re looking for something a little more palatable and accessible to the masses, It Takes Two is a worthy alternative.</p>\n\n<p>Developed by Hazelight Studios and published by EA, this action-adventure platform sees a couple on the brink of divorce forced flushed into a doll via their daughter’s tears.</p>\n\n<p>The aim is to escape and, what makes this game interesting, is the fact it’s always two-player. That means you have to work with someone else, which brings a unique communicative depth to the action. As well as being <a href=\"https://thegameawards.com/nominees/game-of-the-year\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the Game Awards</a> game of the year for 2021, It Takes Two was highly rated by D.I.C.E. Awards.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"console-game-of-the-year\">Console Game of the Year</h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The Outer Worlds - 2019</li>\n\t<li>Ghost of Tsushima - 2020</li>\n\t<li>Returnal - 2021</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jv4BjWoB-NA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>As before, Game Awards’ top picks have guided our selections in this category. However, we’ve also taken some inspiration from other organizations. For example, the game of the year for 2021, according to Game Award, was It Takes Two.</p>\n\n<p>We’ve put that in our PC category, but it could just as easily have been classed as a <em>console game.</em></p>\n\n<p>The same goes for Ghost of Tsushima and The Outer Worlds. Both games were highly ranked among PC and console gamers. Because we put Game Awards’ game of the year winners in the PC category, however, we’ve chosen an equally impressive alternative to rep the console community.</p>\n\n<p>That being the case, we’ve gone with the <a href=\"https://www.bafta.org/games/awards/2022-nominations-winners\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">British Academy Games Awards</a> game of the year for 2021: Returnal.</p>\n\n<p>Rated highly by gaming websites, magazines, and players, Returnal is a third-person shooter that follows the journey of an astronaut called Selene Vassos. Once on the planet Atropos, Vassos goes in search of the White Shadow but becomes stuck in a time loop.</p>\n\n<p>It’s your job to solve the clues of the present and past in order to unlock the future. This often tough task has drawn some criticism but, thanks to the stunning visuals and strong battle dynamics, Returnal was, for many people, 2021’s game of the year.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"mobile-game-of-the-year\">Mobile Game of the Year</h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Life Is Strange - 2018</li>\n\t<li>Cooking Diary: Restaurant Game - 2019</li>\n\t<li>Hados 2 - 2020</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/ycdjnoR1EUE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>For the mobile game of the year, we’ve turned to the International Mobile Gaming Awards. Started in 2004, this organization recognizes mobile gaming excellence in a variety of categories, including storytelling, AR, and innovation.</p>\n\n<p>For the purposes of this overview, we’ve picked out the three most recent winners from the People’s Choice category.</p>\n\n<p>Life is Strange took the title in 2018 because it stayed true to the original PC/Console from Dontnod Entertainment. The third-person style <a href=\"/en/games/genre/adventure-games/\">adventure game</a> tells a captivating story of friendship, tragedy, and disaster, as well as engaging tasks.</p>\n\n<p>Cooking Diary: Restaurant Game was the #1 offering in 2019. Time management games like this can often divide opinion but the gameplay in this Mytona creation is genuinely engaging.</p>\n\n<p>Coming up with culinary creations and trying to run a network of thriving restaurants is no mean feat.</p>\n\n<p>The mobile game of the year in 2020 was, perhaps, a surprise given that it didn’t come from one of the major software-producing countries. This first-person <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games\">shooter</a> was developed by Iran’s Mehdi Peighaminasab.</p>\n\n<p>As well as its classic styling with a modern twist, Hados 2 has a non-linear structure. That makes the quests complex enough to put Hados 2 in a similar realm to PC FPS hits such as Doom Eternal.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"choosing-your-game-of-the-year\">Choosing Your Game of the Year</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"It usually takes much more than a village to decide on the game of the year\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/game-of-the-year-2.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 360px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>As you can see, defining the number #1 game isn’t easy. As well as taking into account different devices and genres, you have to consider different tastes. For example, some people love the horror of Resident Evil Village and made that their game of the year.</p>\n\n<p>Others, who preferred a more playful type of game, opted for It Takes Two.</p>\n\n<p>These differences mean it’s impossible to have one definitive game of the year.</p>\n\n<p>Bottom line is - the best you can do is consider a <em>variety </em>of options. That means deciding which types of games you enjoy the most and the devices you want to play them on.</p>\n\n<p>There are obvious differences between playing an <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">F2P</a> game on mobile, enjoying a <a href=\"/en/games/platform/flash-games/\">Flash</a> game on your PC or the thrill of driving games for consoles. The choice is yours, but you need to make it. Once you’ve done that, you can start to determine what’s hot based on your criteria.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"game-of-the-year-2022-candidates\">Game of the Year 2022 Candidates</h2>\n\n<p>We know that choosing a game of the year 2022 comes down to personal preferences. However, taking into account a variety of genres, themes, and formats, here are some candidates to consider for game of the year 2022:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Galactic Civilizations 4</li>\n\t<li>Elden Ring</li>\n\t<li>Forspoken</li>\n\t<li>Lost Ark</li>\n\t<li>Phobies</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Any one of these might become the game of the year, but they might not. That’s the beauty of trying to choose a hit. There are so many games, variables, and awards bodies that almost every high-quality product has a chance of winning. Which one is your bet?</p>\n","date":"5/22/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"What's your game of the year?","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/game-of-the-year-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14821"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gaming-phones/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Gaming Phone Around: Top Five Mobile Gaming Devices in 2022","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Ever wanted to game on the go like a pro?

Almost all modern smartphones can even handle complex <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer games</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMO RPGs</a>, but just because a phone can do something, that doesn’t mean it can do it <em>well</em>.</p>\n\n<p>There might not be<em> </em>a strict definition of what a \"gaming phone\" is, but in reality, some devices simply outperform others. For a serious gaming experience, you would need a device that's designed for <em>high frame rates and intense action.</em></p>\n\n<p>Devices that we'd consider as \"gaming phones\" tend to have bigger screens, faster refresh rates, and be more ergonomic. When distinguishing between non-gaming and gaming phones, the latter are better suited for processing data, displaying visuals, and offering responsive controls.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gaming-phone-2.png\" /></p>\n\n<p><small>Image by <a href=\"https://pixabay.com/users/haticeerol-14967706/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=5602592\">Hatice EROL</a> from <a href=\"https://pixabay.com/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=5602592\">Pixabay</a></small></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"the-five-qualities-a-gaming-phone-must-have\">The Five Qualities a Gaming Phone Must Have</h3>\n\n<p>To give you a better idea of how we picked out some of the best gaming phones on the market, here are five qualities that the top devices have in spades:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Large screens with refresh rates above the standard 60Hz</li>\n\t<li><em>A lot </em>of RAM and plenty of processing speed</li>\n\t<li>Powerful speakers</li>\n\t<li>Batteries that can last for hours</li>\n\t<li>Attachable hardware, such as thumbsticks, cooling fans, extra grips</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-5-best-gaming-phones-in-2022\">The 5 Best Gaming Phones in 2022</h2>\n\n<p>So, what is the best gaming phone on the market today? Quite frankly, there isn’t <em>one </em>definite answer. Similiarly to looking for a new non-gaming phone (and like choosing between many things in life, when you think about it), finding the best gaming phone will depend on <a href=\"https://www.wikihow.com/Choose-a-Smartphone\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><em>your own</em> needs and preferences</a>.</p>\n\n<p>However, the following 5 devices score highly in all areas. We’ll also tell you what their strengths are and what type of gamer they could be best suited for. So, if you’re ready, let’s look at some of the leading gaming phones out today.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gaming-phone-3.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p><small>Image by <a href=\"https://pixabay.com/users/mohamed_hassan-5229782/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=4068907\">mohamed Hassan</a> from <a href=\"https://pixabay.com/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=4068907\">Pixabay</a></small></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"1.-asus-rog-phone-5\">1. ASUS ROG Phone 5</h3>\n\n<p>The ASUS ROG Phone 5 ticks all the boxes when it comes to display and processing. The AMOLED screen measures 6.78 inches, and the refresh rate is 144Hz. Add to this the Snapdragon 888 processor and 16GB of RAM, and there isn’t much this gaming phone can’t handle.</p>\n\n<p>There have been some software issues in the past, and you don’t get a cooler. However, the ASUS ROG Phone 5 is extremely powerful, and it has two 3,000mAh batteries for long sessions. You can also connect a variety of peripherals. That makes it suitable for serious gamers, which is handy because the $980+ price tag makes it too expensive for casual gamers.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"2.-black-shark-4-pro\">2. Black Shark 4 Pro</h3>\n\n<p>The Black Shark 4 Pro is a solid alternative to the ASUS if you’re a mid-level gamer. It has the same size screen with an equally impressive refresh rate. You also get the same Snapdragon 888 processor, but slightly less RAM (8GB or 12GB). The Black Shark 4 Pro also can’t compete with the ASUS in terms of battery life. However, the single 4,500mAh battery can be recharged to 90% capacity in just<em> 15 minutes!</em></p>\n\n<p>The main reason this gaming phone scores highly is its pop-up magnetic triggers. These inbuilt controls create a more tactile experience and mean you don’t have to spend extra money on peripherals. Add to this relatively inexpensive price tag of less than $650 and this is a great gaming phone for novices.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"3.-nubia-red-magic-5g\">3. Nubia Red Magic 5G</h3>\n\n<p>The clue is in the name of this gaming phone. It’s a device that’s fully tapped into the 5G revolution, which means it’s perfect for gaming when you’re not connected to Wi-Fi. Of course, that’s not the end of its talents. This mobile gaming phone has a 6.65-inch screen that boasts a refresh rate of 144Hz and a resolution of 1080 x 2340.</p>\n\n<p>The Snapdragon 865 handles processing, and you can choose between 8GB and 12GB of RAM. One downside to this device is the fact it only has a single 4,500mAh battery. The resolution also isn’t a match for other top gaming phones and the software can be sluggish at times. However, it has a fan and liquid cooling system for long sessions. You can also customize the look of certain games and add 4D shock vibrations to create a more intense experience.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"4.-lenovo-legion-phone-duel\">4. Lenovo Legion Phone Duel</h3>\n\n<p>This is Lenovo’s first attempt at a gaming phone and, while it may be a little light in some areas, it’s a solid device. The 6.65-inch screen comes with 1080 x 2340 resolution, and you get plenty of processing power courtesy of Snapdragon 865 Plus and either 12GB or 16GB of RAM.</p>\n\n<p>The battery is also a solid 5,000mAh, and a pop-up camera means no screen space has been wasted. The real selling point for this gaming phone is the fact it’s optimized for landscape displays. For entry-level mobile gaming, this is a top contender.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"5.-oppo-find-x5-pro\">5. Oppo Find X5 Pro</h3>\n\n<p>This gaming phone is one of the most expensive on our list at over $1,100. However, for that price, you get an impressive performance. From a gaming perspective, there aren’t any add-ons or specific pieces of hardware designed for gamers. However, where the Oppo shines is its performance.</p>\n\n<p>It has a 6.7-inch screen with its LTPO AMOLED display and WQHD+ resolution. You also get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, as well as 256GB of storage. So, if you’re looking for a good all-rounder that can be used as a gaming phone or regular smartphone, the Oppo Find X5 Pro is an excellent choice.</p>\n","date":"5/19/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Gaming phones are practically smartphones with improved specs that are ideal for gaming","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gaming-phone-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14815"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/aaa-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Most Anticipated AAA Games of 2022 - Plarium","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Q: How do you enjoy a big-budget blockbuster experience in gaming?</p>\n\n<p>A: Simple: you look for the best AAA games.</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>In the same way movie fans look forward to Hollywood blockbusters, gamers also mark their calendars for the release of big-budget games. We know these offerings as AAA games, and they often come with <em>a lot</em> of hype.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"New AAA games usually come out with A LOT of hype\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/aaa-games-2.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 426px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-aaa-games?\">What Are AAA Games?</h2>\n\n<p>It’s hard to give an exact AAA games meaning because it’s an <em>informal </em>classification but, by most standards, this title refers to big-budget games produced by mid-sized and major publishers.</p>\n\n<p>So, any time you see things described as “triple A games” (sometimes even mistakingly referred to as “triple AAA games”), you know that they’ve been created by high-profile companies and have a large budget behind them.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, given that AAA often confers a certain air of excellence when it’s used in other industries, we can add this to <em>our </em>definition.</p>\n\n<p>So, for most people working in the industry, or within the wider community, triple AAA games (triple A games) are those that display superior levels of quality, entertainment, and innovation.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"When it comes to AAA Games - quality and entertainment are the name of the game\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/aaa-games-3.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 426px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>To give you an idea of some AAA games from recent times before we dive into 2022’s best, let’s consider two well-known titles:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Is GTA 5 an AAA video game? That’s a resounding <em>yes</em>. Not only is this a hugely popular and impressive game, but the budget for GTA 5 was also a mind-blowing $265 million. That, by our AAA games meaning, makes it a top-tier title.</li>\n\t<li>Is Shadow of the Tomb Raider an AAA video game? Again, the answer is <em>yes</em>. Developer Eidos poured $135 million into this game. Combine this with the fact it was published by Square Enix, and you can say for certain that it was ranked among the top AAA games when it was released in 2018.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-top-seven-aaa-games-of-2022\">The Top Seven AAA Games of 2022</h2>\n\n<h3 id=\"monster-hunter-rise\">Monster Hunter Rise</h3>\n\n<p>This Capcom RPG was originally launched in 2021 for Nintendo Switch, but it came into its own in 2022. As well as its release <a href=\"/en/games/os/windows-games/\">on Windows</a>, an expansion called Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is scheduled for June. This ability to launch on multiple devices and continually update the saga through expansions is a trademark of AAA games.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2\">Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2</h3>\n\n<p>Gaming companies such as Activision will often commit to annual cycles for the most popular triple A games. That’s certainly the case with this Call of Duty remake. The franchise is set to take a break in 2023, which means Modern Warfare 2 took on an extra significance. As with all the leading AAA games franchises, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 will continue an overarching story that fans are already engaged in as well as a returning nostalgia for long-time fans.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Featured in God of War Ragnarök, Kratos is another member of AAA games \" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/aaa-games-4.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 427px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"god-of-war:-ragnarök\">God of War: Ragnarök</h3>\n\n<p>The ninth installment of the God of War series sees Santa Monica Studio and Sony Interactive Entertainment link up for a new adventure set in ancient Scandinavia. Kratos returns with his son Atreus, and they’ll bring the Norse chapter of the franchise to an end with the story of Ragnarök.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"gotham-knights\">Gotham Knights</h3>\n\n<p>Having the ability to create AAA games gives major developers some leeway in terms of dates and deadlines. Many of the best triple AAA games are given general release dates, rather than specifics, much like Hollywood movies. Gotham Knights falls into this category.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Gotham will always need its heroes. Suit up for an all-new adventure on 10.25.22. <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/GothamKnights?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GothamKnights</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/d7oV2LbcT8\">pic.twitter.com/d7oV2LbcT8</a></p>\n— Gotham Knights (@GothamKnights) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/GothamKnights/status/1501558438681317380?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 9, 2022</a></blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n\n<p>Warner Bros. Interactive pushed back the 2021 publishing date to give the developers more to deliver the “best possible experience” for players. Thus, the latest Batman AAA video game should be even better than anything that’s gone before it.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"final-fantasy-xvi\">Final Fantasy XVI</h3>\n\n<p>Final Fantasy has become such an iconic gaming franchise that even people outside of the industry have at least heard of it. The 16th offering from Square Enix sees players engaging in an RPG adventure in the world of Valisthea. What’s interesting about mega-sagas such as Final Fantasy is that they have to be both standalone games for newbies, and continue a story for existing fans. Striking that balance isn’t easy, but it’s something the best AAA games, such as Final Fantasy, often manage to do.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"tom-clancy’s-rainbow-six-extraction\">Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction</h3>\n\n<p>Tom Clancy is a name that’s been associated with AAA games for decades and the spinoff to Rainbow Six Siege is no different. Although PC Gamer’s Morgan Park described it as an <a href=\"https://www.pcgamer.com/rainbow-six-extraction-review/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">“unremarkable” co-op shooter</a>, he did call it fun. As with most AAA games published by Ubisoft, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction will go down as a solid offering.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"elden-ring\">Elden Ring</h3>\n\n<p>Entering the realm of AAA games in February 2022 was Elden Ring. Developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, this action role-playing game has been discussed on forums for a while and the speculated cost was $500 million. Regardless of the actual figure, Elden Ring sold 12 million copies within two weeks of being released, which is impressive for an interactive open-world game.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-best-aaa-games-ever-made?\">What Are the Best AAA Games Ever Made?</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What are the best AAA games of all time?\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/aaa-games-5.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 426px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>This is a tough one.</p>\n\n<p>Firstly, the game needs to be <a href=\"/en/games/genre/solitaire-games/\">as ubiquitous as solitaire</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Secondly, it needs to come from a major publisher.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, it needs to have the budget, sales, and quality to back up its reputation.</p>\n\n<p>There are a few games that satisfy all of these qualities, and it's quite touch choosing fewer than a handful. However, we believe the top three are:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</li>\n\t<li>The Last of Us</li>\n\t<li>Halo 3</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>You could argue for and against those picks. For example, the Final Fantasy franchise could be in there, as could Resident Evil 4 or Tomb Raider. The point here is that AAA games is somewhat of a subjective term.</p>\n\n<p>However, if a game has been created and published by major players in the industry, has a big budget, and even bigger sales, it can lay claim to the AAA title.</p>\n","date":"5/19/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"What are AAA games?","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/aaa-games-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14809"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/football-video-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Football Video Games in History: Sports Games that Always Score","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Put on your helmet and get ready to run for the end zone!</p>\n\n<p>Check out our list below of world-class football video games, including top titles like Madden and ESPN NFL 2K5!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Football video games are big business. However, before we run some plays and list which games we believe are the best ones of all time, we need to make an important distinction.</p>\n\n<p>Just to make sure that we're not excluding anyone that’s reading this from <em>outside </em>of the US — this is <em>not </em>a post about soccer. This means big names like FIFA or street football video games like Urban Freestyle are not on our list.</p>\n\n<p>The football we’re actually talking about is what's also sometimes referred to as <em>American </em>football. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Football video games keep gaining popularity\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/football-video-games-2.jpg\" style=\"width: 960px; height: 528px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>We have assessed all the big hits from the last few decades, taking into consideration the tactical nuances of these games, running some plays, and gazing in wonder at their aesthetics.</p>\n\n<p>Those that passed our tests are, in our opinion, some of the top football games ever made. So, without further ado, let’s suit up and head for the end zone!</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"espn-nfl-2k5\">ESPN NFL 2K5</h2>\n\n<p>A lot goes into a top-class game, but characters are extremely important in football. Because it’s such an iconic sport, an American football offering without any recognizable players is almost destined to fail. We saw this as <a href=\"https://www.ign.com/wikis/espn-nfl-2k5/Franchise\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN’s football franchise</a> evolved.</p>\n\n<p>The company’s standout offering, NFL 2K5 was developed by Visual Concepts for PlayStation and Xbox.</p>\n\n<p>When it was <a href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0426445/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">released in 2004</a>, it was the latest in a long line of 2K Sports games, and, more importantly, it was an officially licensed NFL product. That meant it had authentic video game characters, including rostered NFL characters and ESPN presenters.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"American Football is among the most popular genres of video games\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/football-video-games-3.jpg\" style=\"width: 960px; height: 528px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The game itself was presented as a live ESPN broadcast. That gave it a unique feel and the ability to offer innovations such as in-game presentations.</p>\n\n<p>Overall, ESPN NFL 2K5 created a unique big-game experience, but all that dropped away when the NFL gave sole licensing rights to EA. ESPN’s subsequent attempts the remain competitive in the football video games market fell by the wayside.</p>\n\n<p>The inability to offer official video game characters from the NFL hurt the franchise and, with that, Madden was able to dominate.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"madden-nfl\">Madden NFL</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/x2FVk3qIHiY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Madden NFL is not only one of the best football video games of all time, it’s one of the most popular video games in any genre. Part of the reason Madden has become the best-selling sports game franchise in history is the fact it became the NFL’s sole partner in 2013.</p>\n\n<p>That move shut out ESPN and every other company trying to make it in the football video games market.</p>\n\n<p>The benefit of being <a href=\"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29236554/nfl-ea-agree-extend-madden-video-game-2026\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">licensed by the NFL</a> is that Madden can use <em>real</em> players as video game characters. That adds an authenticity that no other company can match. However, this game doesn’t survive on big-name players alone.</p>\n\n<p>The visuals are truly impressive, and the gameplay is smooth. The developers at EA are also hot on innovations. Features such as the hit stick, which allows you to unleash powerful tackles, have made the game popular with <a href=\"/en/games/genre/casual-games/\">casual</a> players.</p>\n\n<p>Madden NFL also benefits from having an intelligent engine that changes the game’s dynamics from season to season.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"American football is popular both as a real-life sport and as a video game\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/football-video-games-4.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 425px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Add to this an ability to customize characters and recruit members of staff, and there’s no doubt Madden provides a comprehensive gaming experience. Some criticize its monopoly over the NFL brand and the speed at which new features are released.</p>\n\n<p>However, in terms of mainstream popularity, it’s still one of the best games for football fans. This point is even more salient thanks to the introduction of Madden NFL Mobile in 2014.</p>\n\n<p>Now, fans can enjoy one of the best console gaming experiences, as well as impressive <a href=\"/en/games/device/ipad-games/\">iPad games</a>, from the Madden franchise.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"nfl-street\">NFL Street</h2>\n\n<p>The NFL Street series was first developed by EA in 2004. The beauty of this game was its high-octane nature. Games are played as seven vs seven showdowns and you can compete across a variety of formats, including pickup games and challenges.</p>\n\n<p>Some people don’t like <em>street</em> football video games because they don’t offer as much scope to implement plays and tactics.</p>\n\n<p>However, for the average sports fan or casual gamer, NFL Street is perfect. Indeed, the focus is a lot more on aggression and flair because there aren’t any fouls and stylish moves earn you extra points.</p>\n\n<p>As such, street football video games like this one don’t have to be as time-consuming as Madden NFL. Again, this makes NFL Street ideal for casual video gamers.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"ncaa-football\">NCAA Football</h2>\n\n<p>College football video games don’t always have the mainstream appeal as products that focus on the pro leagues simply because the players aren’t as well known. However, EA struck the right balance between authenticity and gameplay with its NCAA Football series.</p>\n\n<p>The original was released in 1993 and was called Bill Walsh College Football. The NCAA eventually saw the rising popularity of EA’s college football video games and agreed to a licensing deal in 1998.</p>\n\n<p>That spawned a series of NCAA Football video games until 2013 when a legal dispute put the franchise on hold. The good news for fans of college football video games is that EA announced in 2021 that the series would return in 2023.</p>\n\n<p>It’s good news because NCAA Football has long been lauded for its smooth gameplay and innovative features. Things such as Turn the Tide created a frenetic dynamic, while Teambuilder made it possible to nurture an all-star line-up.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"best-of-the-rest:-more-all-star-football-video-games\">Best of the Rest: More All-Star Football Video Games</h2>\n\n<p>Those are four of the top football video games ever made, but here are three more that deserve an honorable mention:</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"yard-fight\">Yard Fight</h4>\n\n<p>This retro arcade game was a huge hit back in the 1980s.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"nfl-blitz\">NFL Blitz</h4>\n\n<p>This was the football video game equivalent to NBA Jam.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"nfl-gameday-98\">NFL GameDay 98</h4>\n\n<p>When EA didn’t have a monopoly on the NFL football video game market, Sony created one of the first products with 3D players.</p>\n\n<p>Between these three football video games and our top four, there are plenty of entertaining ways to run, tackle, and score via your console, PC, or mobile.</p>\n","date":"5/11/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Top foootball video games ","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/football-video-games-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14800"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/city-building-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The 5 Best City Building Games Ever (and the Best 5 of 2022)","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Building an urban environment is no walk in the park – literally.

The design, down to every last detail, is in your hands.</p>\n\n<p>You can conceptualize your world from every inch of tarmac and every blade of grass to the bigger elements, such as the way certain characters interact with one another.</p>\n\n<p>There is also something strangely relaxing about kicking back and developing your very own city, with the creative freedom for it to evolve into whatever you want it to be. It’s something light-hearted to immerse yourself in after a long week at work.</p>\n\n<p>Last but by no means least, some gamers prefer more <a href=\"/en/blog/realistic-games/\">realistic games</a> as they can only relate to real-world matters and struggle to engage with apocalyptic survival horrors or space-themed <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC games</a>.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Arq, Town Planning, 1A\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/08/15/22/01/arq-2645769_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>If you’re thinking of getting into this sub-sector of simulated gaming for the first time, we’ve put together <em>two </em>winning lists of games to get you started.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-top-5-city-building-games-in-2022\">The Top 5 City Building Games in 2022</h2>\n\n<h4 id=\"1.-two-point-campus\">1. Two Point Campus</h4>\n\n<p>Built by the developers at Two Point Studios, Two Point Campus is the long-awaited successor to Two Point Hospital that achieved critical acclaim in 2018. Two Point Campus tasks gamers with developing and managing their own university campus. You’ll have to think of everything, from lecture halls and libraries to the organization of extracurricular student events.</p>\n\n<p>The game will be set in Two Point County, just like its predecessor. Its aesthetic is almost Sims-like, making it the ideal title to transcend both desktops and consoles, once it’s on the shelves in early August.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"2.-pharaoh:-a-new-era\">2. Pharaoh: A New Era</h4>\n\n<p>It’s been almost a generation since the original, but the Pharaoh franchise is back in the city building games genre. Publisher Dotemu has not yet confirmed a formal release date in 2022 but Pharaoh: A New Era is the long-awaited successor to the 1999 release. Set in Ancient Egypt, its campaign will explore six iconic periods of Egyptian history spanning 53 individual missions, including some from the original’s expansion pack of 2000 – Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"3.-farthest-frontier\">3. Farthest Frontier</h4>\n\n<p>Transport yourself to the edge of the known world with Crate Entertainment’s Farthest Frontier. Although this is not yet released, it is possible to sign up for early access to the game once it is available via Steam. Within this game, it is your remit to harness and evolve this small settlement into a fully-fledged town. You must use all the raw materials at your disposal to protect your citizens and equip them with the skills and tools to ward off external threats.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"4.-prehistoric-kingdom\">4. Prehistoric Kingdom</h4>\n\n<p>If you’ve ever laid in bed at night wondering if there’s such a thing as a fusion between Zoo Tycoon and Jurassic Park, developers Blue Meridian have achieved just that with Prehistoric Kingdom. This is your time to celebrate the dinosaur age by developing a park that showcases your favorite dinosaurs. It’s slated for release this month, so you haven’t got much longer to wait.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"5.-frostpunk-2\">5. Frostpunk 2</h4>\n\n<p>The original Frostpunk was a BAFTA-nominated title that was richly deserved in many ways. It spectacularly fused city building games mechanics with those of survival games. The original sees you assume the role of ruler of the last standing city on Earth. How can you control its people and simultaneously manage its infrastructure? Frostpunk 2 transports you to a post-apocalyptic ice age, where your city depends heavily on oil to stave off threats that loom large on the horizon.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-5-best-city-building-games-of-all-time\">The 5 Best City Building Games of All Time</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Sims 4, Mother, Baby, Game, Room\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/10/03/03/17/sims-4-969326_960_720.png\" /></p>\n\n<h4 id=\"1.-simcity-3000\">1. SimCity 3000</h4>\n\n<p>Maxis and Electronic Arts pulled it out of the bag with the third installment of the SimCity franchise. SimCity 3000 was a huge commercial hit, shifting a million units within six months of its release. By January 2002, it had sold 4.6 million units worldwide. Expanded editions followed, included along with ported versions for smartphones, with SimCity 3000 still held up as an example for other city building games to follow.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"2.-banished\">2. Banished</h4>\n\n<p>Shining Rock Software’s Banished is considered one of the best strategy-cum-city building games of all time. You assume the helm of a group of travelers looking to set up a home in new, unchartered territory. Using meticulous management of resources and raw materials, you are tasked with turning this isolated group into a fully functional society.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"3.-pharaoh\">3. Pharaoh</h4>\n\n<p>Impressions Games built upon the success of the award-winning title Caesar 3 with the release of Pharaoh in 1999. Although it has similar game mechanics to Caesar 3, Pharaoh is, unsurprisingly, set within Ancient Egypt. It’s your remit to manage every aspect of city building, protecting its citizens by ensuring they are fed, watered, and safe. Next Generation described this as “pyramid building and floodplain management” in tandem to become one of the iconic city building games.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"4.-cities:-skylines\">4. Cities: Skylines</h4>\n\n<p>Unleashed to the shelves in March 2015, Cities: Skylines has become one of the most iconic city building games of all time. This open-ended simulation is a more contemporary take on SimCity 3000, equipping gamers with enhanced in-game elements to reinforce the real-life challenges of evolving and maintaining an urban environment. There’s also a host of expansion packs including Airports, which can add an extra dimension to your city building games library.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"5.-caesar-3\">5. Caesar 3</h4>\n\n<p>The third and final installment of the Caesar game series, Caesar 3 is streets ahead of its predecessors. GOG regarded it as the finest simulation game in the year of its release (1998). It’s your mission to develop the Eternal City and control the people of ancient Rome – despite their individual AI-driven needs and goals. It was one of the first city building games to offer a choice between peaceful and military-focused assignments.</p>\n\n<p>There’s no doubt that this year’s releases are almost certain to commercially pip the city building games 2021 witnessed, with a handful of popular franchises rearing their beautiful heads once more.</p>\n","date":"5/9/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"City building games are still going strong even in 2022","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_28/games-help-education.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14796"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-controller-pc/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Controller For PC Gaming – Get a Grip on Your PC Gaming Experience!","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Take control of your gaming experience and get a grip on the best controller for PC gamers with our top 10 picks, below!</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>In a world where games are going mobile, players aren’t always used to the nuances of controllers. In fact, if it's <a href=\"/en/games/device/iphone-games/\">iPhone games</a> that you usually play, you don’t need to think about triggers and buttons.</p>\n\n<p>However, if you’re playing on PC, it can be easier to use a controller, <em>especially </em>if you are used to playing previously on console.</p>\n\n<p>As with all things in life, it’s hard to define one, single<em> best</em> controller for PC gamers.

However, when it comes down to it, everyone will have their own preferences. Some <a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/s2gaha/whats_a_good_wired_controller_for_pc/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">people think wired</a> is the way to go, while others prefer <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_controller#Use_on_PCs_and_other_devices\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">wireless gaming</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Some people think Xbox makes the best controller for PC. Others rate Sony’s DualSense as the best gaming controller for PC. The point here is that everyone is different. However, as long as you understand the fundamentals, you’ll always find a device that suits you.</p>\n\n<p>So, with this in mind, here are 10 controllers that stand out from the crowd.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Gamepad, Controller, Xbox Wireless Controller\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2021/07/06/16/29/gamepad-6392045_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"1.-xbox-elite-wireless-controller-series-2\">1. Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2</h3>\n\n<p>This could be the best Xbox controller for PC. Not only is it an upgraded version of the popular Elite 1 controller, but the Series 2 also has a rechargeable battery life of 40 hours. Combine this with 2.4GHz USB Type-C Bluetooth connectivity, plenty of customizable keys, replaceable thumb switches, and you’ve got a great controller. Is it a bit expensive at $160? Possibly, but it’s certainly in the running for best controller for PC.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"2.-xbox-core-controller\">2. Xbox Core Controller</h3>\n\n<p>If you want maximum flexibility, the Core might be the best Xbox controller for PC. The latest version of this controller features better ergonomics and more grip on the triggers. However, the main reason it could be the best Xbox controller for PC is the fact you can use the low-latency wireless function or turn it into a wired controller via the USB-C cable.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"3.-sony-dualsense-controller\">3. Sony DualSense Controller</h3>\n\n<p>If Xbox doesn’t make the best controller for PC, Sony is in the running. The DualSense is just the right size for even the smallest hands and its symmetry is ideal for novice gamers. It can be connected via USB-C, and it even has a gyroscope that works with compatible games.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Controller, Ps4, Video Games, Sony\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2018/03/15/11/42/joystick-3227970_960_720.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>The only reason you might not think this is the best wireless controller for PC is the fact you have to download third-party software to make it work.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"4.-xbox-series-x/s\">4. Xbox Series X/S</h3>\n\n<p>Also ranked as the best wireless controller for PC gamers is the Xbox Series X/S. This product takes what people loved about the original Xbox One controller and improves it. The most notable features are the d-pad, which is incredibly responsive, and the new share button that allows you to capture in-game moments with ease.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"5.-razor-wolverine-v2\">5. Razor Wolverine V2</h3>\n\n<p>The best wired controller for PC also happens to be one of the top third-party products out there. It’s not the cheapest controller, but this one gives you a lot of feedback. As well as buttons that click (which adds to the tactile nature of the controller), you can use the Xbox app to refine the settings and improve the feedback.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"6.-8bitdo-pro-2\">6. 8Bitdo Pro 2</h3>\n\n<p>Anyone that enjoys the way gaming used to be will love the 8Bitdo Pro 2. This controller looks like it was made for the SNES but it’s actually compatible with modern PCs. It offers up to 20 hours of wireless play, but you can also use the USB-C cable. You can also remap the buttons and adjust the trigger depth. So, even though it looks old, the 8Bitdo could actually be today’s best controller for PC gamers.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"7.-powera-spectra-infinity-enhanced\">7. PowerA Spectra Infinity Enhanced</h3>\n\n<p>This could be the best wired controller for PC gamers on a budget. As well as matching the Series X/S controller in terms of layout, it has 3-way trigger locks, solid buttons, and LED edge-lighting. What’s more, it costs just $40. That, for us, makes it the best wired controller for PC gamers that don’t want to spend a lot.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"8.-logitech-f310\">8. Logitech F310</h3>\n\n<p>If money is your primary concern, go for the Logitech F310. We’ve said that the Spectra Infinity is the best wired controller for PC gamers because it offers decent features for a good price. Well, even though this controller isn’t quite as robust, it’s made our list because it only costs $15. So, if money is a concern, this could be your top option.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"9.-switch-pro-controller\">9. Switch Pro Controller</h3>\n\n<p>Nintendo’s Switch controller is often regarded as one of the best ever made. Well, thanks to some clever engineering, it’s now ranked up there as the best controller for PC gaming. Our tip is to use this as a wired controller, so you avoid the issues of reconfiguring it in wireless mode. Do that and you’ll have a sturdy, lightweight, easy to hold controller that’s super responsive.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"10.-hori-fighting-stick-alpha\">10. Hori Fighting Stick Alpha</h3>\n\n<p>Fans of fighting games should look no further than the Hori Fighting Stick Alpha. Although this controller is specialized and doesn’t work well with other games, it’s a powerhouse when it comes to fighting. That’s because the joystick and buttons mirror an arcade machine. For high-octane battles where speed and timing matter, this is definitely the best controller for PC gamers.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"general-faqs-to-keep-in-mind\">General FAQs to Keep in Mind</h2>\n\n<h4 id=\"what-controller-do-pc-players-use?\">What controller do PC players use?</h4>\n\n<p>A lot of PC gamers use an Xbox controller, but a lot of players also use products from Logitech and Sony.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"is-a-wired-controller-better-for-pc-gaming?\">Is a wired controller better for PC gaming?</h4>\n\n<p>The best controllers for PC gaming are often wired because they offer faster response times and the battery never dies. Wireless PC controllers offer more flexibility, and, thanks to improved technology, lag times are low. However, if you’re playing a fast-paced <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPG</a>, a wired PC controller is best.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"what-kind-of-controller-is-best-for-pc-gaming?\">What kind of controller is best for PC gaming?</h4>\n\n<p>A lot of people believe the Xbox Wireless Controller is best for PC gaming.

It’s a tactical game, transporting you into a virtual space station. You’re one of only a handful of survivors that must get the space station back up and running whilst under attack from monsters.

You’ll take control of Marianne, herself a medium capable of embarking on journeys into the spirit realm. It’s these sinister spirits that you’ll have to be mindful of.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"3)-trollface-quest:-horror-1\">3) TrollFace Quest: Horror 1</h3>\n\n<p>On the face of it, you wouldn’t think that puzzle-based <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a> would have the ability to frighten you, but this title will make you laugh and hide behind your hands with equal measure. Take on the evil scammer TrollFace and all his monstrous cronies in a bid to solve a string of puzzles and challenges. With 16 different levels of gameplay, you’ll find it hard to tire of this cartoon-style 2D game.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"4)-jeff’s-revenge\">4) Jeff’s Revenge</h3>\n\n<p>Jeff’s Revenge is the fourth iteration of the Let’s Kill Jeff series.

You can either control Jeff the Killer and get your hands on hidden objects within the deserted town or play the role of a nameless soldier, attempting to catch and eliminate Jeff in tandem with seven other AI-controlled soldiers.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Do you like scary games?\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/scary-games-3.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 427px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"5)-until-dawn\">5) Until Dawn</h3>\n\n<p>Released in 2015, Supermassive Games’ Until Dawn still has the pull as one of the best scary video games right now. PlayStation 4 owners will be pleased to know it’s available exclusively on this console. This horror-drama sees you take control of a group of eight young adults visiting a remote Blackwood Mountain lodge when their lives take a sinister turn.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"6)-little-nightmares-2\">6) Little Nightmares 2</h3>\n\n<p>The February 2021 release of the Little Nightmares sequel has attracted rave reviews. Described by publishers Bandai Namco Entertainment as a puzzle-platform horror adventure, there’s a lot going on here. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to help Mono – and their new pal Six – escape the cruel world that’s been distorted by an evil transmission. Track the source of the transmission to save the planet.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"7)-resident-evil-village\">7) Resident Evil Village</h3>\n\n<p>The eighth iteration of the iconic Resident Evil franchise had the potential to be one of the finest scary games of all time – and it didn’t disappoint. Its unique blend of storytelling and intense first-person gameplay makes this one of the first scary games you should try. Although Village maintains several of the survival horror facets that’ve made Resident Evil such an award-winning series, the increased combat and enemy encounters heighten the drama and explains why it’s already shifted more than 6.1 million units.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"8)-tormented-souls\">8) Tormented Souls</h3>\n\n<p>It's clear PQube’s Tormented Souls took inspiration from Resident Evil Village, but it’s important to state that this release stands on its own as one of the best scary games in recent memory.

Within this guide to NFT gaming, we’ll explain what NFTs mean, how they operate, and how they might enhance the gaming experience.</p>\n\n<p>We will also list some of the most popular NFT gaming titles acting as the road testers of the NFT gaming concept.</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-does-nft-mean-in-gaming?\">What Does NFT Mean in Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p>An NFT is a form of cryptocurrency, but it differs from the likes of Bitcoin and Ethereum due to its lack of fungibility. Unlike Bitcoin, where one unit of BTC can be bought and sold for another, NFTs represent ownership of an underlying asset.</p>\n\n<p>The first example of an overlap between NFTs and gaming occurred when the Ethereum-based blockchain game <a href=\"https://www.cryptokitties.co/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">CryptoKitties</a> launched NFTs for their players to earn and trade.</p>\n\n<p>These NFTs equated to ownership of unique images of cartoon cats that could be exchanged and sold.</p>\n\n<p>Since then, the gaming industry has allowed NFT gaming to proliferate, creating a new play-to-earn gaming model. Gamers can play and earn unique in-game assets and items that can be used, sold, or exchanged for other in-game assets.</p>\n\n<p>It could be anything from new characters or weapons to new levels or maps. However you earn these gaming NFT assets, each NFT gives you exclusive ownership rights over them while they’re in your hands.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"NFT in gaming is simpler than it might sound\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nft-gaming-2.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 640px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-nft-in-gaming:-5-interesting-facts\">What is NFT in gaming: 5 interesting facts</h2>\n\n<h3 id=\"1.-nfts-give-gamers-even-greater-control-than-microtransactions\">1. NFTs give gamers even greater control than microtransactions</h3>\n\n<p>Video gamers have long been accustomed to purchasing in-game items and accessories via microtransactions. NFTs are the next generation of microtransactions, handing gamers even greater power with the ability to buy and exchange assets or even earn a percentage from future resales. The NFT marketplace could inspire enthusiasts of video game franchises to create unofficial NFT-powered assets such as fan art and external projects inspired by in-game storylines.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"2.-nft-gaming-provides-a-unique-gateway-to-cryptocurrency\">2. NFT gaming provides a unique gateway to cryptocurrency</h3>\n\n<p>The rise of NFT gaming is simultaneously raising awareness of the power of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. <a href=\"https://www.crunchbase.com/person/aleksander-leonard-larsen\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Aleksander Leonard Larsen</a>, co-founder of the hugely popular NFT gaming title Axie Infinity, said that half of its active player base had never traded cryptocurrency before engaging with the play-to-earn model.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"3.-nfts-are-focusing-on-interoperability\">3. NFTs are focusing on interoperability</h3>\n\n<p>Perhaps the biggest idea for NFT gaming and video game publishers is the concept of the interoperability of NFTs. Tokens housed within a \"local\" blockchain of gamers actively playing within the same franchise will be able to transfer NFTs and enhance earlier or future releases with exclusive in-game assets compatible with an entire series.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"4.-nft-gaming-collectibles-are-already-on-the-rise\">4. NFT gaming collectibles are already on the rise</h3>\n\n<p>Video game publishers are already working hard to devise collectible NFTs that long-time fans of gaming franchises can invest in as rare pieces of gaming history. It could be retro MIDI-style game sounds or game art, or even physical memorabilia like paintings, figurines, and statues. Anything that celebrates a video game’s lifespan. For example, Capcom opted to create NFT trading cards of iconic Street Fighter characters, including the likes of Dhalsim and Ryu.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"5.-nfts-can-bring-fanatics-even-closer-to-their-favorite-games\">5. NFTs can bring fanatics even closer to their favorite games</h3>\n\n<p>NFTs in the latest video and <a href=\"/en/games/\">online games</a> are designed to bring gaming enthusiasts closer than ever to their favorite franchises. NFTs will help to reward the loyalty of long-time players, with rewards and access to unique events and releases regardless of whether the NFT’s value rises or falls.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"NFT has the same meaning in gaming, standing for Non Fungible Token\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nft-gaming-3.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 640px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-do-nft-games-make-money?\">How do NFT games make money?</h2>\n\n<p>Although some NFT gaming is available in a <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play</a> format, the majority will ask you to purchase a starter pack or pay to unlock further in-game levels. As we’ve already mentioned about the interoperability of NFTs in games within franchises, publishers will hope to make continued income from gamers that can utilize NFTs in past and future releases.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"examples-of-the-best-gaming-nft-titles-so-far\">Examples of the best gaming NFT titles so far</h2>\n\n<p>Want to learn which play-to-earn titles are taking over the NFT gaming scene in 2022, and beyond? Here is our hit-list of five of<em> the best</em> NFT-focused games across a range of genres to get your teeth stuck into.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"1.-axie-infinity\">1. Axie Infinity</h3>\n\n<p>This game was the starting point for NFT gaming. A role-playing game based on monster breeding. Your task is to bring up your own pet Axie and breed it to foster generations of Axie creatures. With each generation, they will inherit at least one trait from their forefathers. Axies can also be collected and exchanged in the Axie Infinity NFT marketplace in the same way as Pokemon or Digimon.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"2.-gods-unchained\">2. Gods Unchained</h3>\n\n<p>Gods Unchained is right at the top of the card fighter genre. It’s a free-to-play <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PVP</a> card battle game with NFTs that are tradable and collectible. Players can earn \"GODS tokens\", which can also be used to improve NFTs or unlock new rare NFTs.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"3.-battle-racers\">3. Battle Racers</h3>\n\n<p>Battle Racers is one of the most popular blockchain-based action-<a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a>, whereby players can create, build and race NFT cars on weird and wacky race tracks. It’s your challenge to put together the best possible battle race car, with weaponry and parts that can be bought, traded, and tweaked to help you overcome your opponents and finish first across the line.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"4.-the-sandbox\">4. The Sandbox</h3>\n\n<p>The Sandbox is considered by many to be the \"Minecraft of NFT gaming\". Built within the Metaverse, players have the freedom to design and build their own environments and even sell and trade their own digital assets as NFTs. Although aesthetically it resembles something like Minecraft, the freedom of The Sandbox’s game mode puts this on a whole new level.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"5.-splinterlands\">5. Splinterlands</h3>\n\n<p>Hearthstone fans will find glaring similarities between this and Splinterlands. Like Gods Unchained, this is another classic card battle game, featuring the NFT mechanics of collecting and trading assets. Each card has its own attributes and status, with some rarer than others. Conquering battles and quests unlock the potential to earn additional NFTs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"NFTs in Gaming usually mean users can buy in-game goods with tokens instead of real money\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nft-gaming-4.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 543px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"should-you-try-nfts?\">Should You Try NFTs?</h2>\n\n<p>There you have it. NFT gaming is big business. Looking at Axie Infinity alone, its in-game NFTs are said to be worth upwards of<em> $2.26 billion</em>, according to <a href=\"https://dappradar.com/blog/axie-infinity-smashes-monthly-sales-numbers\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">DappRadar</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Now that you’re familiar with NFTs in gaming terms, you can try these play-to-earn games out for size on your <em>own </em>terms.</p>\n","date":"5/25/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"NFT gaming is becoming a very big business","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nft-gaming-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14827"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/towel-day/"},"strings":{"title":"How to CRUSH This Towel Day","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Towel Day is an annual global event, organized by fans of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which acts as a tribute to the late British author, Douglas Adams.</p>\n\n<p>The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Galaxy was penned as a radio comedy for the BBC in the late 1970s but later evolved into a five-book “trilogy” that would shift over 15 million units worldwide.</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>The first Towel Day was staged just a fortnight after <a href=\"https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22814/douglas-adams\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Adams’ death in 2001</a> and over the last two decades, it has become a staple date in the calendar for Hitchhikers’ fans and gamers alike.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"when-is-national-towel-day?\">When is National Towel Day?</h2>\n\n<p><strong>The annual Towel Day is celebrated on May 25</strong>. This is two weeks after the anniversary of Adams’ passing. During this day, fans show their appreciation for Adams’ books and imagination, which helped carve a lasting trilogy and inspire a trio of video game titles (more on those later).</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The origins of Towel Day\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/towel-day-3.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 426px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-origins-of-happy-towel-day\">The Origins of Happy Towel Day</h2>\n\n<p>The concept of Towel Day originated by a message board user named “Clyde” on the now-defunct open-source forum called System Toolbox.</p>\n\n<p>A man named Chris Campbell and a group of friends took the decision to register the towelday.org web domain and so far it has proven a rip-roaring success.</p>\n\n<p>During Happy Towel Day, fans will visibly carry a towel around with them. Fans are encouraged to take photos and videos of their towels in use throughout the day and share them on social media via the hashtag <strong>#TowelDay</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>The Happy Towel Day celebrations have been picked up by many news sources across the globe, from as far afield as <a href=\"https://www.nrk.no/osloogviken/den-internasjonale-handkledagen-1.2527887\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Norway’s Broadcasting Corporation</a>, to the Los Angeles-based <a href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10438988\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">National Public Radio</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Back in May 2010, an online petition began to encourage Google to design a Google Doodle to commemorate Towel Day, but so far those calls have fallen on deaf ears from the search engine giant.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Don't Panic!

In both the designing and the building stages, throughout the golden era of the 80s and 90s gaming.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"the-hitchhiker’s-guide-to-the-galaxy\">The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy</h3>\n\n<p>The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was unsurprisingly Adams’ first body of work in the world of video gaming. This interactive fiction release was released on 8-bit gaming machines like the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Macintosh, and the Apple II.</p>\n\n<p>Published by Infocom and Steve Meretzky, it was the 14th title released under their umbrella.</p>\n\n<p>The game mechanics are heavily text-based, creating a unique <a href=\"/en/games/genre/adventure-games/\">adventure game</a> that’s loosely linked to the storyline of the book trilogy. In fact, most of the plot resembles events that occurred in the original book.</p>\n\n<p>You assume the role of protagonist Arthur Dent, who is tasked with solving a host of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/puzzle-games/\">puzzles</a> to conquer numerous objectives to complete the game.</p>\n\n<p>In terms of the game’s lasting legacy, it proved to be one of Infocom’s top five <a href=\"https://douglasadams.com/creations/infocomjava.html\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">best-selling video game</a> titles of all time! In 2004, the BBC even unveiled a browser-based 20th Anniversary Edition powered by an Adobe Flash interface.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Towel Day is as much about celebrating Douglas Adams as it is about one of his works\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/towel-day-6.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 360px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"bureaucracy\">Bureaucracy</h3>\n\n<p>Three years after Adams’ success with his “baby”, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, he teamed up with Infocom again to develop another interactive fiction game called Bureaucracy.</p>\n\n<p>This single-player, released in 1987, was listed in the “Advanced” section of Infocom’s rating system for game difficulty.</p>\n\n<p>The concept of Bureaucracy sees you encounter a long list of bureaucratic roadblocks as a consequence of your change of address. Nothing is working or being received as it should.</p>\n\n<p>The key is to keep your player’s blood pressure under control to prevent them from suffering an aneurysm, which triggers the end of the game (talk about <a href=\"/en/blog/realistic-games/\">realism</a>...).</p>\n\n<p>At the peak of its power, Bureaucracy was listed as Game of the Month by American gaming journalist Jerry Pournelle in October 1987. It is said to have shifted more than 40,000 copies, which is a pretty mean feat given its <em>exceptional </em>niche game genre.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Towel Day could theoretically be celebrated throughout a multitude of galaxies!\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/towel-day-4.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 465px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"starship-titanic\">Starship Titanic</h3>\n\n<p>Starship Titanic was the late 90s hit on PC and Mac desktops. Adams was the lead designer of this release, developed by the Digital Village and published by Simon & Schuster Interactive.</p>\n\n<p>This title takes you on sci-fi adventures on its eponymous starship, where you’re given a mission to recover missing pieces of the ship’s control system.</p>\n\n<p>There is plenty of puzzle-based action here, as well as interaction with automated in-game bots within the Titanic. The game itself took over two years to finalize, and despite drawing sci-fi parallels with Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, it never proved a commercial success.</p>\n\n<p>This was something of a head-scratcher to many given the futuristic gameplay, engaging character dialogue – of which there was said to be <em>16 hours’ worth</em> – and the addition of <a href=\"https://collider.com/best-monty-python-movies-ranked-life-of-brian-holy-grail/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Monty Python icons</a> John Cleese and Terry Jones as members of the game’s voice cast.</p>\n\n<p>Some 17 years after its release, GOG.com re-released it for next-generation PCs in 2015.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-celebrate-towel-day\">How to Celebrate Towel Day</h2>\n\n<p>So, if you’re looking to celebrate 2022’s Towel Day and channel your inner Douglas Adams, you could choose from a plethora of different ways.</p>\n\n<p>You could read one of Adams's books, play one of his games, or simply make sure you carry a towel with you at all times, wherever you might go.</p>\n\n<p>Let's face it, if not an intergalactic traveller, a fellow human from our Earth is bound to strike a friendly conversation when they see a towel hanging from you!</p>\n","date":"5/24/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Towel Day has become popular worldwide in a very short period of time","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/towel-day-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14823"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/ouya/"},"strings":{"title":"The Rise and Fall of OUYA, the $8.6m Kickstarter Darling","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Back in 2013, there was a lot of buzz around a self-proclaimed “revolution” in gaming.

This is where OUYA saw its opening.</p>\n\n<p>With smartphone gaming growing rapidly in popularity, primarily due to its price points, founder Julie Uhrman decided that what people wanted was cost-effective gaming but on TV.</p>\n\n<p>The TV and use of a controller looked to be what were assumed to be the hallmarks of high-end gaming, while smaller app games were still recognized by the project as being popular for a reason.</p>\n\n<p>That said, the hope was also to bring in some big-name games, like <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a> or <a href=\"/en/games/genre/survival-games/\">survival games</a>.</p>\n\n<p>So, OUYA set out with the goal of essentially being the opposite of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.</p>\n\n<p><u>For example:</u></p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The OUYA Console was very minimalist in design, while the PS4 and Xbox One were big and ugly;</li>\n\t<li>Xbox One and PlayStation 4 were set to launch at $499 each, while OUYA set a price of $99;</li>\n\t<li>Video games had steadily bumped up to the $50 mark, so all OUYA games would be free-to-start.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"OUYA - A dream that almost came true\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ouya-3.webp\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 354px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Along with these customer-facing promises, the OUYA console website stated that it also wanted to make its platform accessible to all developers. All development kits could be used, the OUYA was completely hackable, and developers wouldn’t need to pay licensing fees.</p>\n\n<p>With such an idealistic vision that combined TV gaming with accessibility on all fronts, it’s not a surprise that the project was so heavily backed.</p>\n\n<p>Throw in lines like “Best of all, OUYA’s world-class controller, console, and interface come in one beautiful, inexpensive package. All the games on it will be free, at least to try,” from the <a href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-console/description\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Kickstarter page</a>, and you achieve mass appeal.</p>\n\n<p>The original goal for the project was $950,000, which certainly wasn’t a small fee in itself. After one day, it had hit<em> $2 million</em>. Once all of the backers had chipped in, the pledged amount read $8,596,474.</p>\n\n<p>People believed in this potential console killer, but around one year after the project launched (July 10, 2012), the hype turned sour.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"OUYA's plethora of promises ended not delivering \" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ouya-4.webp\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 352px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"red-flags-in-retrospect-of-the-ouya-campaign\">Red Flags in Retrospect of the Ouya Campaign</h2>\n\n<p>There were always doubts surrounding the ability of a company to sell the OUYA for $99 and live up to all of its promises, but backers were firmly behind the project. With the launch swiftly on the way for June 2013, founder Uhrman appeared as SXSW Interactive’s third keynote speaker.</p>\n\n<p>Whether it was down to the focus of it being a very cheap and accessible product or just a lack of preparation, the Q&A for the OUYA game console didn’t help its desirability.</p>\n\n<p>Not only did Uhrman bring the prototype to the stage in a brown paper bag, but it was also described as “nothing special.” It also didn’t help that Uhrman replied “I don’t know” to the question about its launch games.</p>\n\n<p>The console was nudged back to June 25, getting a few extra weeks to sort out shipping. Still, the OUYA console website was running, reported that over 100 games were on it, and pre-orders were flowing. Then came E3 2013.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"OUYA was not invited to a major gaming event\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ouya-5.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 360px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>On June 13, reports came in that OUYA had <a href=\"https://archive.kpcc.org/news/2013/06/14/37713/e3-small-startup-ouya-takes-to-the-streets-in-guer/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">set up a park</a> opposite the gaming convention as they weren’t invited to attend E3 proper.</p>\n\n<p>The Entertainment Software Association, ESA, opted to park a truck to obscure the view of the park, and so OUYA expanded in front of the truck. The ESA called in the cops, but all seemed to be in order.</p>\n\n<p>The park did have hands-on demos of some of its best games for players and opportunities for developers, but issues were picked up that were being flagged by backers.</p>\n\n<p>The OUYA game console provided the ability to play small-scale indie games and ports for free. The device had four menus: Play, Make, Manage, and Discover. Through Play and Discover, you could find OUYA games.</p>\n\n<p>On Make, developers could track the applications that they were building.</p>\n\n<p>However, the OUYA console was panned by critics as having a lot of potential but a great lack of quality. The OUYA controller was cheap and flimsy, and the OUYA games were of poor quality. It was a sharp fall from grace, and the console was discontinued in July 2015.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"End of the road for OUYA\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ouya-6.webp\" style=\"width: 400px; height: 400px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"is-ouya-still-a-thing?\">Is OUYA Still a Thing?</h2>\n\n<p>To put it simply - no, OUYA is no longer a thing. After the company and its assets were sold to Razer Inc., the OUYA console website was closed, hardware like the OUYA controller and console were discontinued, and support mercifully ended in June 2019.</p>\n\n<p>Even though the platform was very accessible, OUYA failed because it didn’t deliver its promise of having a “world-class controller, console, and interface.” All of these were widely seen as sub-par, particularly the OUYA controller, and games other than TowerFall failed to impress.</p>\n\n<p>The OUYA technically ran for several years (under Razor), but one could argue that the OUYA actually died within two years of its $8.6 million Kickstarter launch.</p>\n","date":"5/23/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The rise and fall of the OUYA console","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ouya-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14822"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-of-the-year/"},"strings":{"title":"Game of the Year Greats: In Search of Gaming’s Hits from Recent Years","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>What is the game of the year? Can anyone definitively say? </p>\n\n<p>Check out our chosen game of the year and find out which titles are in the running - and, who knows, you might just agree with us!</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>\"The game of the year\" is a subjective accolade. That’s a fairly uncontentious statement to make because, at times, every award winner stirs up some controversy. We’re going to add fuel to the proverbial fire in this article, but <em>not </em>for the sake of being divisive.</p>\n\n<p>We’ve picked out the top-rated games because we want you to know what the critics have lavished praise on (not because we want to start an argument, obviously).</p>\n\n<p>However, we also know that by proclaiming something as “game of the year,” we’re encouraging, at best, a healthy debate. This is something to keep in mind as you read through our top picks. You might disagree and have your own picks.</p>\n\n<p>Based on reviews, sales, and the critics, we’ve named <em>three </em>games of the year.</p>\n\n<p>We also picked out a few games that could be named game of the year for 2022 when the awards start coming in.</p>\n\n<p>Let's dive in!</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"pc-game-of-the-year\">PC Game of the Year</h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - 2019</li>\n\t<li>Hades - 2020</li>\n\t<li>It Takes Two – 2021</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/GAWHzGNcTEw\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>We’ve gone with Game Awards’ game of the year for 2021 as the <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC category’s</a> leading light. However, we could have also chosen Resident Evil Village as the #1 PC game of 2021.</p>\n\n<p>Why? As well as ranking among Game Awards’ top picks, the latest installment of Capcom’s Resident Evil was voted as 2021’s best game by the <a href=\"https://store.steampowered.com/steamawards\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Steam Awards community</a>.</p>\n\n<p>The first-person horror game was best in some players’ eyes because it took <a href=\"/en/blog/halloween-horror-games/\">horror</a> and suspense to a whole new level. However, if you’re looking for something a little more palatable and accessible to the masses, It Takes Two is a worthy alternative.</p>\n\n<p>Developed by Hazelight Studios and published by EA, this action-adventure platform sees a couple on the brink of divorce forced flushed into a doll via their daughter’s tears.</p>\n\n<p>The aim is to escape and, what makes this game interesting, is the fact it’s always two-player. That means you have to work with someone else, which brings a unique communicative depth to the action. As well as being <a href=\"https://thegameawards.com/nominees/game-of-the-year\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the Game Awards</a> game of the year for 2021, It Takes Two was highly rated by D.I.C.E. Awards.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"console-game-of-the-year\">Console Game of the Year</h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The Outer Worlds - 2019</li>\n\t<li>Ghost of Tsushima - 2020</li>\n\t<li>Returnal - 2021</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jv4BjWoB-NA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>As before, Game Awards’ top picks have guided our selections in this category. However, we’ve also taken some inspiration from other organizations. For example, the game of the year for 2021, according to Game Award, was It Takes Two.</p>\n\n<p>We’ve put that in our PC category, but it could just as easily have been classed as a <em>console game.</em></p>\n\n<p>The same goes for Ghost of Tsushima and The Outer Worlds. Both games were highly ranked among PC and console gamers. Because we put Game Awards’ game of the year winners in the PC category, however, we’ve chosen an equally impressive alternative to rep the console community.</p>\n\n<p>That being the case, we’ve gone with the <a href=\"https://www.bafta.org/games/awards/2022-nominations-winners\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">British Academy Games Awards</a> game of the year for 2021: Returnal.</p>\n\n<p>Rated highly by gaming websites, magazines, and players, Returnal is a third-person shooter that follows the journey of an astronaut called Selene Vassos. Once on the planet Atropos, Vassos goes in search of the White Shadow but becomes stuck in a time loop.</p>\n\n<p>It’s your job to solve the clues of the present and past in order to unlock the future. This often tough task has drawn some criticism but, thanks to the stunning visuals and strong battle dynamics, Returnal was, for many people, 2021’s game of the year.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"mobile-game-of-the-year\">Mobile Game of the Year</h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Life Is Strange - 2018</li>\n\t<li>Cooking Diary: Restaurant Game - 2019</li>\n\t<li>Hados 2 - 2020</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/ycdjnoR1EUE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>For the mobile game of the year, we’ve turned to the International Mobile Gaming Awards. Started in 2004, this organization recognizes mobile gaming excellence in a variety of categories, including storytelling, AR, and innovation.</p>\n\n<p>For the purposes of this overview, we’ve picked out the three most recent winners from the People’s Choice category.</p>\n\n<p>Life is Strange took the title in 2018 because it stayed true to the original PC/Console from Dontnod Entertainment. The third-person style <a href=\"/en/games/genre/adventure-games/\">adventure game</a> tells a captivating story of friendship, tragedy, and disaster, as well as engaging tasks.</p>\n\n<p>Cooking Diary: Restaurant Game was the #1 offering in 2019. Time management games like this can often divide opinion but the gameplay in this Mytona creation is genuinely engaging.</p>\n\n<p>Coming up with culinary creations and trying to run a network of thriving restaurants is no mean feat.</p>\n\n<p>The mobile game of the year in 2020 was, perhaps, a surprise given that it didn’t come from one of the major software-producing countries. This first-person <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games\">shooter</a> was developed by Iran’s Mehdi Peighaminasab.</p>\n\n<p>As well as its classic styling with a modern twist, Hados 2 has a non-linear structure. That makes the quests complex enough to put Hados 2 in a similar realm to PC FPS hits such as Doom Eternal.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"choosing-your-game-of-the-year\">Choosing Your Game of the Year</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"It usually takes much more than a village to decide on the game of the year\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/game-of-the-year-2.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 360px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>As you can see, defining the number #1 game isn’t easy. As well as taking into account different devices and genres, you have to consider different tastes. For example, some people love the horror of Resident Evil Village and made that their game of the year.</p>\n\n<p>Others, who preferred a more playful type of game, opted for It Takes Two.</p>\n\n<p>These differences mean it’s impossible to have one definitive game of the year.</p>\n\n<p>Bottom line is - the best you can do is consider a <em>variety </em>of options. That means deciding which types of games you enjoy the most and the devices you want to play them on.</p>\n\n<p>There are obvious differences between playing an <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">F2P</a> game on mobile, enjoying a <a href=\"/en/games/platform/flash-games/\">Flash</a> game on your PC or the thrill of driving games for consoles. The choice is yours, but you need to make it. Once you’ve done that, you can start to determine what’s hot based on your criteria.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"game-of-the-year-2022-candidates\">Game of the Year 2022 Candidates</h2>\n\n<p>We know that choosing a game of the year 2022 comes down to personal preferences. However, taking into account a variety of genres, themes, and formats, here are some candidates to consider for game of the year 2022:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Galactic Civilizations 4</li>\n\t<li>Elden Ring</li>\n\t<li>Forspoken</li>\n\t<li>Lost Ark</li>\n\t<li>Phobies</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Any one of these might become the game of the year, but they might not. That’s the beauty of trying to choose a hit. There are so many games, variables, and awards bodies that almost every high-quality product has a chance of winning. Which one is your bet?</p>\n","date":"5/22/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"What's your game of the year?","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/game-of-the-year-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14821"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gaming-phones/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Gaming Phone Around: Top Five Mobile Gaming Devices in 2022","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Ever wanted to game on the go like a pro?

Almost all modern smartphones can even handle complex <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer games</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMO RPGs</a>, but just because a phone can do something, that doesn’t mean it can do it <em>well</em>.</p>\n\n<p>There might not be<em> </em>a strict definition of what a \"gaming phone\" is, but in reality, some devices simply outperform others. For a serious gaming experience, you would need a device that's designed for <em>high frame rates and intense action.</em></p>\n\n<p>Devices that we'd consider as \"gaming phones\" tend to have bigger screens, faster refresh rates, and be more ergonomic. When distinguishing between non-gaming and gaming phones, the latter are better suited for processing data, displaying visuals, and offering responsive controls.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gaming-phone-2.png\" /></p>\n\n<p><small>Image by <a href=\"https://pixabay.com/users/haticeerol-14967706/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=5602592\">Hatice EROL</a> from <a href=\"https://pixabay.com/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=5602592\">Pixabay</a></small></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"the-five-qualities-a-gaming-phone-must-have\">The Five Qualities a Gaming Phone Must Have</h3>\n\n<p>To give you a better idea of how we picked out some of the best gaming phones on the market, here are five qualities that the top devices have in spades:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Large screens with refresh rates above the standard 60Hz</li>\n\t<li><em>A lot </em>of RAM and plenty of processing speed</li>\n\t<li>Powerful speakers</li>\n\t<li>Batteries that can last for hours</li>\n\t<li>Attachable hardware, such as thumbsticks, cooling fans, extra grips</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-5-best-gaming-phones-in-2022\">The 5 Best Gaming Phones in 2022</h2>\n\n<p>So, what is the best gaming phone on the market today? Quite frankly, there isn’t <em>one </em>definite answer. Similiarly to looking for a new non-gaming phone (and like choosing between many things in life, when you think about it), finding the best gaming phone will depend on <a href=\"https://www.wikihow.com/Choose-a-Smartphone\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><em>your own</em> needs and preferences</a>.</p>\n\n<p>However, the following 5 devices score highly in all areas. We’ll also tell you what their strengths are and what type of gamer they could be best suited for. So, if you’re ready, let’s look at some of the leading gaming phones out today.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gaming-phone-3.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p><small>Image by <a href=\"https://pixabay.com/users/mohamed_hassan-5229782/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=4068907\">mohamed Hassan</a> from <a href=\"https://pixabay.com/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=4068907\">Pixabay</a></small></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"1.-asus-rog-phone-5\">1. ASUS ROG Phone 5</h3>\n\n<p>The ASUS ROG Phone 5 ticks all the boxes when it comes to display and processing. The AMOLED screen measures 6.78 inches, and the refresh rate is 144Hz. Add to this the Snapdragon 888 processor and 16GB of RAM, and there isn’t much this gaming phone can’t handle.</p>\n\n<p>There have been some software issues in the past, and you don’t get a cooler. However, the ASUS ROG Phone 5 is extremely powerful, and it has two 3,000mAh batteries for long sessions. You can also connect a variety of peripherals. That makes it suitable for serious gamers, which is handy because the $980+ price tag makes it too expensive for casual gamers.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"2.-black-shark-4-pro\">2. Black Shark 4 Pro</h3>\n\n<p>The Black Shark 4 Pro is a solid alternative to the ASUS if you’re a mid-level gamer. It has the same size screen with an equally impressive refresh rate. You also get the same Snapdragon 888 processor, but slightly less RAM (8GB or 12GB). The Black Shark 4 Pro also can’t compete with the ASUS in terms of battery life. However, the single 4,500mAh battery can be recharged to 90% capacity in just<em> 15 minutes!</em></p>\n\n<p>The main reason this gaming phone scores highly is its pop-up magnetic triggers. These inbuilt controls create a more tactile experience and mean you don’t have to spend extra money on peripherals. Add to this relatively inexpensive price tag of less than $650 and this is a great gaming phone for novices.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"3.-nubia-red-magic-5g\">3. Nubia Red Magic 5G</h3>\n\n<p>The clue is in the name of this gaming phone. It’s a device that’s fully tapped into the 5G revolution, which means it’s perfect for gaming when you’re not connected to Wi-Fi. Of course, that’s not the end of its talents. This mobile gaming phone has a 6.65-inch screen that boasts a refresh rate of 144Hz and a resolution of 1080 x 2340.</p>\n\n<p>The Snapdragon 865 handles processing, and you can choose between 8GB and 12GB of RAM. One downside to this device is the fact it only has a single 4,500mAh battery. The resolution also isn’t a match for other top gaming phones and the software can be sluggish at times. However, it has a fan and liquid cooling system for long sessions. You can also customize the look of certain games and add 4D shock vibrations to create a more intense experience.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"4.-lenovo-legion-phone-duel\">4. Lenovo Legion Phone Duel</h3>\n\n<p>This is Lenovo’s first attempt at a gaming phone and, while it may be a little light in some areas, it’s a solid device. The 6.65-inch screen comes with 1080 x 2340 resolution, and you get plenty of processing power courtesy of Snapdragon 865 Plus and either 12GB or 16GB of RAM.</p>\n\n<p>The battery is also a solid 5,000mAh, and a pop-up camera means no screen space has been wasted. The real selling point for this gaming phone is the fact it’s optimized for landscape displays. For entry-level mobile gaming, this is a top contender.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"5.-oppo-find-x5-pro\">5. Oppo Find X5 Pro</h3>\n\n<p>This gaming phone is one of the most expensive on our list at over $1,100. However, for that price, you get an impressive performance. From a gaming perspective, there aren’t any add-ons or specific pieces of hardware designed for gamers. However, where the Oppo shines is its performance.</p>\n\n<p>It has a 6.7-inch screen with its LTPO AMOLED display and WQHD+ resolution. You also get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, as well as 256GB of storage.

We know these offerings as AAA games, and they often come with <em>a lot</em> of hype.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"New AAA games usually come out with A LOT of hype\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/aaa-games-2.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 426px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-aaa-games?\">What Are AAA Games?</h2>\n\n<p>It’s hard to give an exact AAA games meaning because it’s an <em>informal </em>classification but, by most standards, this title refers to big-budget games produced by mid-sized and major publishers.</p>\n\n<p>So, any time you see things described as “triple A games” (sometimes even mistakingly referred to as “triple AAA games”), you know that they’ve been created by high-profile companies and have a large budget behind them.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, given that AAA often confers a certain air of excellence when it’s used in other industries, we can add this to <em>our </em>definition.</p>\n\n<p>So, for most people working in the industry, or within the wider community, triple AAA games (triple A games) are those that display superior levels of quality, entertainment, and innovation.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"When it comes to AAA Games - quality and entertainment are the name of the game\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/aaa-games-3.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 426px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>To give you an idea of some AAA games from recent times before we dive into 2022’s best, let’s consider two well-known titles:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Is GTA 5 an AAA video game? That’s a resounding <em>yes</em>. Not only is this a hugely popular and impressive game, but the budget for GTA 5 was also a mind-blowing $265 million. That, by our AAA games meaning, makes it a top-tier title.</li>\n\t<li>Is Shadow of the Tomb Raider an AAA video game? Again, the answer is <em>yes</em>. Developer Eidos poured $135 million into this game. Combine this with the fact it was published by Square Enix, and you can say for certain that it was ranked among the top AAA games when it was released in 2018.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-top-seven-aaa-games-of-2022\">The Top Seven AAA Games of 2022</h2>\n\n<h3 id=\"monster-hunter-rise\">Monster Hunter Rise</h3>\n\n<p>This Capcom RPG was originally launched in 2021 for Nintendo Switch, but it came into its own in 2022. As well as its release <a href=\"/en/games/os/windows-games/\">on Windows</a>, an expansion called Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is scheduled for June. This ability to launch on multiple devices and continually update the saga through expansions is a trademark of AAA games.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2\">Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2</h3>\n\n<p>Gaming companies such as Activision will often commit to annual cycles for the most popular triple A games. That’s certainly the case with this Call of Duty remake. The franchise is set to take a break in 2023, which means Modern Warfare 2 took on an extra significance. As with all the leading AAA games franchises, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 will continue an overarching story that fans are already engaged in as well as a returning nostalgia for long-time fans.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Featured in God of War Ragnarök, Kratos is another member of AAA games \" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/aaa-games-4.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 427px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"god-of-war:-ragnarök\">God of War: Ragnarök</h3>\n\n<p>The ninth installment of the God of War series sees Santa Monica Studio and Sony Interactive Entertainment link up for a new adventure set in ancient Scandinavia. Kratos returns with his son Atreus, and they’ll bring the Norse chapter of the franchise to an end with the story of Ragnarök.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"gotham-knights\">Gotham Knights</h3>\n\n<p>Having the ability to create AAA games gives major developers some leeway in terms of dates and deadlines. Many of the best triple AAA games are given general release dates, rather than specifics, much like Hollywood movies. Gotham Knights falls into this category.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Gotham will always need its heroes. Suit up for an all-new adventure on 10.25.22. <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/GothamKnights?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GothamKnights</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/d7oV2LbcT8\">pic.twitter.com/d7oV2LbcT8</a></p>\n— Gotham Knights (@GothamKnights) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/GothamKnights/status/1501558438681317380?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 9, 2022</a></blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n\n<p>Warner Bros. Interactive pushed back the 2021 publishing date to give the developers more to deliver the “best possible experience” for players. Thus, the latest Batman AAA video game should be even better than anything that’s gone before it.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"final-fantasy-xvi\">Final Fantasy XVI</h3>\n\n<p>Final Fantasy has become such an iconic gaming franchise that even people outside of the industry have at least heard of it. The 16th offering from Square Enix sees players engaging in an RPG adventure in the world of Valisthea. What’s interesting about mega-sagas such as Final Fantasy is that they have to be both standalone games for newbies, and continue a story for existing fans. Striking that balance isn’t easy, but it’s something the best AAA games, such as Final Fantasy, often manage to do.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"tom-clancy’s-rainbow-six-extraction\">Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction</h3>\n\n<p>Tom Clancy is a name that’s been associated with AAA games for decades and the spinoff to Rainbow Six Siege is no different. Although PC Gamer’s Morgan Park described it as an <a href=\"https://www.pcgamer.com/rainbow-six-extraction-review/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">“unremarkable” co-op shooter</a>, he did call it fun. As with most AAA games published by Ubisoft, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction will go down as a solid offering.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"elden-ring\">Elden Ring</h3>\n\n<p>Entering the realm of AAA games in February 2022 was Elden Ring. Developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, this action role-playing game has been discussed on forums for a while and the speculated cost was $500 million. Regardless of the actual figure, Elden Ring sold 12 million copies within two weeks of being released, which is impressive for an interactive open-world game.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-best-aaa-games-ever-made?\">What Are the Best AAA Games Ever Made?</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What are the best AAA games of all time?\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/aaa-games-5.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 426px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>This is a tough one.</p>\n\n<p>Firstly, the game needs to be <a href=\"/en/games/genre/solitaire-games/\">as ubiquitous as solitaire</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Secondly, it needs to come from a major publisher.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, it needs to have the budget, sales, and quality to back up its reputation.</p>\n\n<p>There are a few games that satisfy all of these qualities, and it's quite touch choosing fewer than a handful. However, we believe the top three are:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</li>\n\t<li>The Last of Us</li>\n\t<li>Halo 3</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>You could argue for and against those picks. For example, the Final Fantasy franchise could be in there, as could Resident Evil 4 or Tomb Raider. The point here is that AAA games is somewhat of a subjective term.</p>\n\n<p>However, if a game has been created and published by major players in the industry, has a big budget, and even bigger sales, it can lay claim to the AAA title.</p>\n","date":"5/19/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"What are AAA games?","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/aaa-games-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14809"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/football-video-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Football Video Games in History: Sports Games that Always Score","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Put on your helmet and get ready to run for the end zone!</p>\n\n<p>Check out our list below of world-class football video games, including top titles like Madden and ESPN NFL 2K5!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Football video games are big business. However, before we run some plays and list which games we believe are the best ones of all time, we need to make an important distinction.</p>\n\n<p>Just to make sure that we're not excluding anyone that’s reading this from <em>outside </em>of the US — this is <em>not </em>a post about soccer. This means big names like FIFA or street football video games like Urban Freestyle are not on our list.</p>\n\n<p>The football we’re actually talking about is what's also sometimes referred to as <em>American </em>football. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Football video games keep gaining popularity\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/football-video-games-2.jpg\" style=\"width: 960px; height: 528px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>We have assessed all the big hits from the last few decades, taking into consideration the tactical nuances of these games, running some plays, and gazing in wonder at their aesthetics.</p>\n\n<p>Those that passed our tests are, in our opinion, some of the top football games ever made. So, without further ado, let’s suit up and head for the end zone!</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"espn-nfl-2k5\">ESPN NFL 2K5</h2>\n\n<p>A lot goes into a top-class game, but characters are extremely important in football. Because it’s such an iconic sport, an American football offering without any recognizable players is almost destined to fail. We saw this as <a href=\"https://www.ign.com/wikis/espn-nfl-2k5/Franchise\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN’s football franchise</a> evolved.</p>\n\n<p>The company’s standout offering, NFL 2K5 was developed by Visual Concepts for PlayStation and Xbox.</p>\n\n<p>When it was <a href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0426445/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">released in 2004</a>, it was the latest in a long line of 2K Sports games, and, more importantly, it was an officially licensed NFL product. That meant it had authentic video game characters, including rostered NFL characters and ESPN presenters.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"American Football is among the most popular genres of video games\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/football-video-games-3.jpg\" style=\"width: 960px; height: 528px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The game itself was presented as a live ESPN broadcast. That gave it a unique feel and the ability to offer innovations such as in-game presentations.</p>\n\n<p>Overall, ESPN NFL 2K5 created a unique big-game experience, but all that dropped away when the NFL gave sole licensing rights to EA. ESPN’s subsequent attempts the remain competitive in the football video games market fell by the wayside.</p>\n\n<p>The inability to offer official video game characters from the NFL hurt the franchise and, with that, Madden was able to dominate.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"madden-nfl\">Madden NFL</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/x2FVk3qIHiY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Madden NFL is not only one of the best football video games of all time, it’s one of the most popular video games in any genre. Part of the reason Madden has become the best-selling sports game franchise in history is the fact it became the NFL’s sole partner in 2013.</p>\n\n<p>That move shut out ESPN and every other company trying to make it in the football video games market.</p>\n\n<p>The benefit of being <a href=\"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29236554/nfl-ea-agree-extend-madden-video-game-2026\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">licensed by the NFL</a> is that Madden can use <em>real</em> players as video game characters. That adds an authenticity that no other company can match. However, this game doesn’t survive on big-name players alone.</p>\n\n<p>The visuals are truly impressive, and the gameplay is smooth. The developers at EA are also hot on innovations. Features such as the hit stick, which allows you to unleash powerful tackles, have made the game popular with <a href=\"/en/games/genre/casual-games/\">casual</a> players.</p>\n\n<p>Madden NFL also benefits from having an intelligent engine that changes the game’s dynamics from season to season.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"American football is popular both as a real-life sport and as a video game\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/football-video-games-4.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 425px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Add to this an ability to customize characters and recruit members of staff, and there’s no doubt Madden provides a comprehensive gaming experience. Some criticize its monopoly over the NFL brand and the speed at which new features are released.</p>\n\n<p>However, in terms of mainstream popularity, it’s still one of the best games for football fans. This point is even more salient thanks to the introduction of Madden NFL Mobile in 2014.</p>\n\n<p>Now, fans can enjoy one of the best console gaming experiences, as well as impressive <a href=\"/en/games/device/ipad-games/\">iPad games</a>, from the Madden franchise.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"nfl-street\">NFL Street</h2>\n\n<p>The NFL Street series was first developed by EA in 2004. The beauty of this game was its high-octane nature. Games are played as seven vs seven showdowns and you can compete across a variety of formats, including pickup games and challenges.</p>\n\n<p>Some people don’t like <em>street</em> football video games because they don’t offer as much scope to implement plays and tactics.</p>\n\n<p>However, for the average sports fan or casual gamer, NFL Street is perfect. Indeed, the focus is a lot more on aggression and flair because there aren’t any fouls and stylish moves earn you extra points.</p>\n\n<p>As such, street football video games like this one don’t have to be as time-consuming as Madden NFL. Again, this makes NFL Street ideal for casual video gamers.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"ncaa-football\">NCAA Football</h2>\n\n<p>College football video games don’t always have the mainstream appeal as products that focus on the pro leagues simply because the players aren’t as well known. However, EA struck the right balance between authenticity and gameplay with its NCAA Football series.</p>\n\n<p>The original was released in 1993 and was called Bill Walsh College Football. The NCAA eventually saw the rising popularity of EA’s college football video games and agreed to a licensing deal in 1998.</p>\n\n<p>That spawned a series of NCAA Football video games until 2013 when a legal dispute put the franchise on hold. The good news for fans of college football video games is that EA announced in 2021 that the series would return in 2023.</p>\n\n<p>It’s good news because NCAA Football has long been lauded for its smooth gameplay and innovative features. Things such as Turn the Tide created a frenetic dynamic, while Teambuilder made it possible to nurture an all-star line-up.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"best-of-the-rest:-more-all-star-football-video-games\">Best of the Rest: More All-Star Football Video Games</h2>\n\n<p>Those are four of the top football video games ever made, but here are three more that deserve an honorable mention:</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"yard-fight\">Yard Fight</h4>\n\n<p>This retro arcade game was a huge hit back in the 1980s.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"nfl-blitz\">NFL Blitz</h4>\n\n<p>This was the football video game equivalent to NBA Jam.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"nfl-gameday-98\">NFL GameDay 98</h4>\n\n<p>When EA didn’t have a monopoly on the NFL football video game market, Sony created one of the first products with 3D players.</p>\n\n<p>Between these three football video games and our top four, there are plenty of entertaining ways to run, tackle, and score via your console, PC, or mobile.</p>\n","date":"5/11/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Top foootball video games ","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/football-video-games-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14800"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/city-building-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The 5 Best City Building Games Ever (and the Best 5 of 2022)","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Building an urban environment is no walk in the park – literally.

Two Point Campus</h4>\n\n<p>Built by the developers at Two Point Studios, Two Point Campus is the long-awaited successor to Two Point Hospital that achieved critical acclaim in 2018. Two Point Campus tasks gamers with developing and managing their own university campus. You’ll have to think of everything, from lecture halls and libraries to the organization of extracurricular student events.</p>\n\n<p>The game will be set in Two Point County, just like its predecessor. Its aesthetic is almost Sims-like, making it the ideal title to transcend both desktops and consoles, once it’s on the shelves in early August.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"2.-pharaoh:-a-new-era\">2. Pharaoh: A New Era</h4>\n\n<p>It’s been almost a generation since the original, but the Pharaoh franchise is back in the city building games genre. Publisher Dotemu has not yet confirmed a formal release date in 2022 but Pharaoh: A New Era is the long-awaited successor to the 1999 release. Set in Ancient Egypt, its campaign will explore six iconic periods of Egyptian history spanning 53 individual missions, including some from the original’s expansion pack of 2000 – Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"3.-farthest-frontier\">3. Farthest Frontier</h4>\n\n<p>Transport yourself to the edge of the known world with Crate Entertainment’s Farthest Frontier. Although this is not yet released, it is possible to sign up for early access to the game once it is available via Steam. Within this game, it is your remit to harness and evolve this small settlement into a fully-fledged town. You must use all the raw materials at your disposal to protect your citizens and equip them with the skills and tools to ward off external threats.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"4.-prehistoric-kingdom\">4. Prehistoric Kingdom</h4>\n\n<p>If you’ve ever laid in bed at night wondering if there’s such a thing as a fusion between Zoo Tycoon and Jurassic Park, developers Blue Meridian have achieved just that with Prehistoric Kingdom. This is your time to celebrate the dinosaur age by developing a park that showcases your favorite dinosaurs. It’s slated for release this month, so you haven’t got much longer to wait.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"5.-frostpunk-2\">5. Frostpunk 2</h4>\n\n<p>The original Frostpunk was a BAFTA-nominated title that was richly deserved in many ways. It spectacularly fused city building games mechanics with those of survival games. The original sees you assume the role of ruler of the last standing city on Earth. How can you control its people and simultaneously manage its infrastructure? Frostpunk 2 transports you to a post-apocalyptic ice age, where your city depends heavily on oil to stave off threats that loom large on the horizon.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-5-best-city-building-games-of-all-time\">The 5 Best City Building Games of All Time</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Sims 4, Mother, Baby, Game, Room\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/10/03/03/17/sims-4-969326_960_720.png\" /></p>\n\n<h4 id=\"1.-simcity-3000\">1. SimCity 3000</h4>\n\n<p>Maxis and Electronic Arts pulled it out of the bag with the third installment of the SimCity franchise. SimCity 3000 was a huge commercial hit, shifting a million units within six months of its release. By January 2002, it had sold 4.6 million units worldwide. Expanded editions followed, included along with ported versions for smartphones, with SimCity 3000 still held up as an example for other city building games to follow.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"2.-banished\">2. Banished</h4>\n\n<p>Shining Rock Software’s Banished is considered one of the best strategy-cum-city building games of all time. You assume the helm of a group of travelers looking to set up a home in new, unchartered territory. Using meticulous management of resources and raw materials, you are tasked with turning this isolated group into a fully functional society.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"3.-pharaoh\">3. Pharaoh</h4>\n\n<p>Impressions Games built upon the success of the award-winning title Caesar 3 with the release of Pharaoh in 1999. Although it has similar game mechanics to Caesar 3, Pharaoh is, unsurprisingly, set within Ancient Egypt. It’s your remit to manage every aspect of city building, protecting its citizens by ensuring they are fed, watered, and safe. Next Generation described this as “pyramid building and floodplain management” in tandem to become one of the iconic city building games.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"4.-cities:-skylines\">4. Cities: Skylines</h4>\n\n<p>Unleashed to the shelves in March 2015, Cities: Skylines has become one of the most iconic city building games of all time. This open-ended simulation is a more contemporary take on SimCity 3000, equipping gamers with enhanced in-game elements to reinforce the real-life challenges of evolving and maintaining an urban environment. There’s also a host of expansion packs including Airports, which can add an extra dimension to your city building games library.</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"5.-caesar-3\">5. Caesar 3</h4>\n\n<p>The third and final installment of the Caesar game series, Caesar 3 is streets ahead of its predecessors. GOG regarded it as the finest simulation game in the year of its release (1998). It’s your mission to develop the Eternal City and control the people of ancient Rome – despite their individual AI-driven needs and goals. It was one of the first city building games to offer a choice between peaceful and military-focused assignments.</p>\n\n<p>There’s no doubt that this year’s releases are almost certain to commercially pip the city building games 2021 witnessed, with a handful of popular franchises rearing their beautiful heads once more.</p>\n","date":"5/9/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"City building games are still going strong even in 2022","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_28/games-help-education.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14796"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-controller-pc/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Controller For PC Gaming – Get a Grip on Your PC Gaming Experience!","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Take control of your gaming experience and get a grip on the best controller for PC gamers with our top 10 picks, below!</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>In a world where games are going mobile, players aren’t always used to the nuances of controllers.

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2</h3>\n\n<p>This could be the best Xbox controller for PC. Not only is it an upgraded version of the popular Elite 1 controller, but the Series 2 also has a rechargeable battery life of 40 hours. Combine this with 2.4GHz USB Type-C Bluetooth connectivity, plenty of customizable keys, replaceable thumb switches, and you’ve got a great controller. Is it a bit expensive at $160?

Xbox Series X/S</h3>\n\n<p>Also ranked as the best wireless controller for PC gamers is the Xbox Series X/S. This product takes what people loved about the original Xbox One controller and improves it. The most notable features are the d-pad, which is incredibly responsive, and the new share button that allows you to capture in-game moments with ease.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"5.-razor-wolverine-v2\">5. Razor Wolverine V2</h3>\n\n<p>The best wired controller for PC also happens to be one of the top third-party products out there.
