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 style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</a></p>\n\n<p>In a world where games are going mobile, players aren’t always used to the nuances of controllers.

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.

Some of the most popular board games have even transcended into the world of video gaming, cementing these titles at the heart of popular culture.</p>\n\n<p>Here are the top six most popular board games and their video game equals, as well as board games that never hit the heights in video gaming.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>For many years, popular board games have been replicated on desktop PCs and consoles, some as the same games but on a different platform, and some in the form of <a href=\"/en/games/category/new-games/\">completely new games</a>.</p>\n\n<p>They’ve helped digitize family-favorite games on television screens in all four corners of the globe. The finest replicas of classic popular board games retain the feeling of playing <em>off-screen</em> by remaining as true as possible to the game’s roots.</p>\n\n<p>For several decades, board games have been the source material and inspiration for video game developers. However, there is a sense that the balance is shifting in the opposite direction.</p>\n\n<p>There is a growing number of adults that enjoy indulging in tabletop popular board games. With that in mind, we’re also witnessing an era where popular video games are also being replicated in board game form.</p>\n\n<h2>What Is the #1 Board Game in the World?</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Strategy - Chess might just rule as the world's most popular game\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/12/07/10/40/strategy-1080527_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>It would appear to be a toss-up between Monopoly and Chess for the most popular board games in the world.</p>\n\n<p>In North America, the chess market is said to be worth $40.5 million alone, with Richest labeling it the highest-selling board game ever. It’s hard to argue given that Chess is a game that’s transcended multiple <em>centuries</em>, with its origins dating back to the 13th century.</p>\n\n<p>However, Monopoly must surely be at the top of the popular board games leaderboard from a commercial perspective. Location-specific editions have proven to be a huge commercial success worldwide. Today, it’s played and licensed in over 103 nations and 37+ languages.</p>\n\n<p>Although we’ll explore the conversion of popular board games like Monopoly into commercially viable video games below, we’ll also demonstrate the lure of video game-themed tabletop games too.</p>\n\n<h2>The Most Popular Board Games and Their Video Counterparts</h2>\n\n<h4>Monopoly PLUS</h4>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The iconic Monopoly figures are instantly recognizable\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2020/05/06/09/33/monopoly-5136946_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>It’s no surprise that one of the market leaders in popular board games would have a plethora of video game variants. Monopoly has had video game versions dating back to 1985, but its Monopoly PLUS series appears to be the most popular in recent times. Available on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox One, and 360, as well as the Nintendo Switch, this 3D version offers more immersive gameplay than ever before.</p>\n\n<h4>Trivial Pursuit</h4>\n\n<p>Like Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit has long been in the popular board games category worldwide. Considered the world’s best-known general knowledge game, it has been easily replicated on PC and consoles, bringing a fast-paced gameshow-style experience to screens. More recently, a Trivial Pursuit Live version from Ubisoft has enabled friends and family to compete against one another online in real-time.</p>\n\n<h4>Catan</h4>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Catan is world-known as a board game\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2019/09/21/14/57/catan-4494043_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Catan is one of the top multiplayer popular board games that’s transcended continents in terms of its playability. Although it originated in Germany, it has been published elsewhere across Europe and Asia in particular. As of 2020, some 32 million units had been sold of the board game in 40 languages, which explains why Catan has translated so seamlessly to video gaming too. With all of its complex rules neatly packaged in a video game version, it offers a refreshing user experience, complete with multiple view modes of the settlements.</p>\n\n<h4>Doom: The Board Game</h4>\n\n<p>Doom is a video game that is one of the oldest and most popular franchises worldwide. It became an immediate commercial success upon its release on PC back in 1993. A couple of sequels later and several spin-offs, it’s little surprise that a board game was next on the agenda in 2004. With playable demons and marines, this four-player board game pits players head-to-head in rival groups, each with its own goals and in-game attributes. Although the dice-based battles are rather less gory than the video game combat, it remains true to the original game dynamics.</p>\n\n<h4>Civilization: A New Dawn</h4>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Civilization video game series characterizes turn-based strategy titles\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2019/07/03/14/05/civilization-4314653_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Sid Meier’s Civilization video game series still characterizes turn-based strategy titles to this very day. Such was the impact this franchise had on gamers in the 90s. Next Generation labeled it fourth in their top 50 games of all time back in 1999, harking back to its “complex” in-game variables that give it genuine longevity. Civilization: A New Dawn was a board game released in 2017 that rapidly became one of the most popular board games for adults brought up in the pre-Millennium era. Suitable for up to four players, you’re tasked with developing your own Empire and leaving a mark on history.</p>\n\n<h4>XCOM: The Board Game</h4>\n\n<p>Sci-fi video game classic XCOM first shot to prominence in 1994. This elite organization, formed to tackle the rising alien invasions on Earth, has since become a hit with tabletop game players too. The board game design was the brainchild of board game designer Eric Lang, with its impressive visuals making it one of the leading video game-inspired popular board games of its generation. Players are tasked with leading the XCOM organization to save humanity against the intergalactic enemy. Players don’t engage in combat within the board game and instead use strategy to carefully plan the use of resources and units, as well as the research and development of new technologies to counter the alien forces.</p>\n\n<h2>Popular Board Games That Never Became Online Gaming Hits</h2>\n\n<h4>Cribbage</h4>\n\n<p>Cribbage is a strategy and math-driven board/card game that’s existed for many generations. It can be a slow-paced game, particularly for beginners, and with the number of cribbage players diminishing in the real world, it’s no surprise there’s been little appetite for a video game version.</p>\n\n<h4>Azul</h4>\n\n<p>Azul is a popular board game based on abstract strategy. Inspired by Portuguese culture, players use tiles known as “azulejos” to try to make patterns on the board to earn points. Despite its colorful appearance, it has failed to translate to the video game scene thus far.</p>\n\n<h4>Scrabble</h4>\n\n<p>There have been multiple video game adaptations of the classic spelling board game Scrabble in the last 30 years, but none of them have managed to hit the heights of some of the titles mentioned earlier in this article. Between January 2000 and August 2006, Scrabble was only the 78th best-selling video game in the US and there’s little sign that its ranking has improved since.</p>\n","date":"4/25/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Crossing the border with board to video games","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_2/header.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14761"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/may-the-4th/"},"strings":{"title":"May the 4th Be with You — What Does It Mean & Where Did It Start Anyway?!","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Become the Jedi you were destined to be and celebrate in style with everything you need to know about <strong>May the 4th Be with You Day!</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>May the 4th isn’t an arbitrary date on the calendar. Well, in some respects, it is.</p>\n\n<p>However, thanks to George Lucas and the sci-fi community, it has a significance beyond the passing of time. Why? Because it’s also Star Wars Day!</p>\n\n<p>What is Star Wars Day? Why is it called Star Wars Day? And how do you celebrate Star Wars May 4th Day? We’ve answered those questions and more in our guide to May the 4th.</p>\n\n<h2>What is the Meaning of May the 4th be with You?</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"One of the most prominent figures quoted to this day as saying \"May the force be with you!\" - Yoda\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/03/11/01/21/yoda-667955_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>May the 4th be with you is a reference to the immortal phrase uttered by Jedis: <q>may the force be with you</q>. Given the phonetic similarities between the phrases <em><strong>May the 4th</strong></em> and <em><strong>may the force</strong></em>, Star Wars fans have claimed the date as their own.</p>\n\n<p>In line with this, May 4th Star Wars Day is a time for sci-fans, aspiring Jedis, and people from galaxies far, far away to come together. Whether it’s physically or virtually, Star Wars enthusiasts will congregate to celebrate their favorite movie franchise in a variety of ways.</p>\n\n<p>Such is the popularity of May the day and its celebrations, that it’s now recognized by <a href=\"https://www.lucasfilm.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Lucasfilm</a> and its parent company, <a href=\"https://www.disney.com\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Disney</a>. This has resulted in a variety of official and unofficial May 4th Star Wars Day events.</p>\n\n<p>Before we explain what’s in store for May the fourth be with you in 2022, here’s a bit about the day’s cultural significance.</p>\n\n<h2>Who Says May the Fourth Be with You? The Cultural Significance of May 4th</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/VH83SsL_fIQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>George Lucas created the original Star Wars movie in 1977. It became an instant hit and, even after more than 40 years, it is still remembered fondly.</p>\n\n<p>With Lucas striking a chord with his tale of intergalactic warriors battling across far away worlds, two subsequent movies were released (the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi).</p>\n\n<p>At this point, a culture was developing around Star Wars. Action figures and games were being released. Fast-forward to today and the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia entry for Star Wars</a> describes it as an “American epic space-opera multimedia franchise.”</p>\n\n<p>In other words, it’s an ongoing saga that encompasses movies and more.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, if you look through the franchise as a whole, you’ll find Star Wars collectibles, TV shows, board games, and more. If you’re a gamer, fans of the sci-fi saga have gone as far as to adapt <a href=\"/en/blog/dnd-classes/\">Dungeons and Dragons</a> (D&D) to include a Star Wars quest.</p>\n\n<p>Put simply, Star Wars has become much more than a series of movies and that’s why May the 4th be with you is such a big event.</p>\n\n<h2>When is May the 4th Be with You Day?</h2>\n\n<p>Well, you don’t have to be a genius to work out that May the fourth be with you day is on May 4th. It’s an annual event that’s been officially celebrated since 2011. However, there were pockets of activity around the world long before May 4th was recognized as an official day.</p>\n\n<p>By 2013, Disney began observing the annual celebration. That’s led to a variety of interesting and entertaining events. From special screenings of Star Wars to fancy dress parties, people are now celebrating May the 4th be with you Day in a myriad of ways.</p>\n\n<h2>How Do You Celebrate?</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Star Wars fans cosplaying as Siths\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/04/25/22/54/sith-2261087_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Saying May the fourth be with you is the easiest way to observe Star Wars Day. It also lets people know that you’re a sci-fi fan. However, if your love for Luke Skywalker et al runs deeper, you can take part in a variety of special events on May 4th.</p>\n\n<p>Previous May the 4th be with you days have seen festivals take place around the world, online screenings, and more.</p>\n\n<h3>2022-Relevant May the 4th celebrations include:</h3>\n\n<h4>Wearing the Official T-Shirt:</h4>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>To mark May the 4th be with you Day, Disney has created official t-shirts. Costing $24.99 each, the Star Wars May 4th t-shirts feature the famous saying, Yoda, and various characters, including Boba Fett.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h4>Star Wars Celebration 2022:</h4>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>It may not be taking place on May the 4th, but the 2022 Star Wars convention <em>is </em>happening in May. Running from <em>May 26 to May 29 </em>at the Anaheim Convention Center, this is the ultimate fan experience. As well as celebrity guests and exhibits, there will be people in costumes, games, and more. So, if you buy tickets, you can celebrate May 4th Star Wars Day by preparing an outfit for the convention.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h4>Learn How to Become a Jedi:</h4>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>If you own an Amazon Alexa, you can say the following phrase on May 4th: “Alexa begin my Jedi lesson.” That request starts a series of nine lessons every Jedi needs to learn. You can also play a variety of Star Wars games with Alexa!</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h4>Special Releases:</h4>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>May the 4th will also be a chance for you to get special previews, spoofs, and toys courtesy of StarWars.com. Last year’s list of ideas and innovations included a novel version of the Force Awakens featuring Maggie Simpson (shown on Disney+), discounts on Star Wars games, and the premiere of Star Wars: the Bad Batch.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>As well as these celebrations, look out for social media meetups and special online viewing parties.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, if you’re a Star Wars fan and want to celebrate May the 4th be with You Day in style, you’ll be spoiled for choice in 2022!</p>\n","date":"4/25/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"May the 4th Be With You!","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/05/positive-aspects-gaming-part-2.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14758"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/pax/"},"strings":{"title":"Penny Arcade Expo: Immerse Yourself in Gaming at PAX Events","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Are you a fan of arcade games?

Yes, there is at least one PAX convention every year. The dates for each expo are released throughout the year, but events typically take place in April, September, October, and December. PAX East kicks off the annual schedule and PAX Unplugged brings the year to a close.</p>\n\n<p>Will PAX East happen in 2022? Yes! The Penny Arcade Expo schedule contains a confirmed listing for PAX East. Based on the information published so far, this is how gamers can get their expo fix in 2022:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>PAX East: 21-24 April 2022, Boston Convention & Exhibition Center</li>\n\t<li>PAX West: Dates TBA in Seattle</li>\n\t<li>PAX AUS: Dates TBA in Melbourne</li>\n\t<li>PAX Unplugged: Dates TBA in Philadelphia</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What Exactly is PAX?</h2>\n\n<p><strong>PAX stands for Penny Arcade Expo</strong>. The original PAX convention took place in 2004. It was created by the authors of the webcomic <a href=\"https://www.penny-arcade.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Penny Arcade</a>, Jerry Holkins, and Mike Krahulik. Holkins and Krahulik wanted to create a show specifically for gaming and, with their first love being penny arcade and tabletop games, PAX was born.</p>\n\n<p>The popularity of PAX has increased over the years and, in line with demand for tickets, the convention has evolved. From<a href=\"https://www.paxsite.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"> the original PAX</a>, which attracted 3,300 attendees, it grew from a single-day expo to a four-day event.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Pax convention is a completely immersive experience\" src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/Pax06expofloor.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>The first four-day expo was dubbed PAX Prime and attracted over 70,000 visitors in 2013. Also, part of this initial growth phase was a partnership with ReedPop. The events company has helped turn Penny Arcade’s one-time event into an annual series of expos.</p>\n\n<p>Before PAX Prime, the organizers had already started experimenting with expos outside of the original host city, Seattle. In 2010, PAX East took place in Boston’s Hynes Convention Center. With over 67,000 attendees, PAX East quickly became a rival to PAX Prime.</p>\n\n<p>By 2012, the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center had become the home of PAX East, which was now a staple of Penny Arcade’s calendar of events.</p>\n\n<h3>The Evolution of PAX</h3>\n\n<p>Between 2013 and 2015, <strong>PAX Australia</strong> and <strong>PAX South</strong> were added to the schedule. The inaugural PAX AUS took place in 2013 at the Melbourne Showgrounds before it moved to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Ubisoft at PAX\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/08/24/14/10/gamescom-2676958_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Back in the US, the first PAX South took place in San Antonio and became the biggest inaugural Penny Arcade event in history. Unfortunately, despite the initial popularity of PAX South, it was discontinued in 2021 because of waning interest.</p>\n\n<p>Adding to the PAX schedule of events in 2017 was Unplugged. This expo focused on one specific feature of the Penny Arcade universe, tabletop games. This genre had been a bit-part player in previous PAX conventions.</p>\n\n<p>However, a surge of interest in tabletop games allowed a spinoff event to be made. PAX Unplugged might not be as popular as Pax East and Pax West, but is an integral part of the annual line-up.</p>\n\n<p>Each PAX event has its own nuances but, overall, they all have the same fundamental structure. The only notable change in recent years is the renaming of PAX Prime to PAX West. So, that’s just about all you need to know about the history of PAX.</p>\n\n<p>Looking forward, PAX 2022 is on the horizon. So, with this in mind, here are the details you need to know…</p>\n\n<ul>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>Registration: How to Attend Penny Arcade Expos</h2>\n\n<p>All Penny Arcade Expo events are ticket-only. That means you need to register online and buy badges. These badges can get you access to specific days. Alternatively, you can get badges that give you access to the expo for four days.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Most conventions require a badge or a pass in order to get in\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/03/24/14/43/access-1276873_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Unlike some gaming expos, Penny Arcade and ReedPop have kept the entrance fee to an affordable level. For PAX East 2022, the price for single and multi-day badges was:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Single Day PAX East Badge = $62</li>\n\t<li>Four-Day PAX East Badge = $235</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What’s On at PAX Conventions?</h2>\n\n<p>Every PAX convention is a celebration of arcade games and tabletop games. There are interactive elements where attendees can play <a href=\"/en/games/genre/survival-games/\">games of survival</a>, <a href=\"/en/games/category/new-games/\">new releases</a>, arcade hits, and more.</p>\n\n<p>There are expert panels covering a variety of topics, including the development of hit games, new technology and more.</p>\n\n<p>Put simply, PAX is an all-encompassing experience that covers everything the gaming world offers. For those looking to attend at Penny Arcade Expo, here are the things you can see and do:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The Expo Hall is where you can find previews of new games, technology, and content from AAA publishers, indie developers, and the biggest names in the industry.</li>\n\t<li>Meet and greets with popular figures from the world of gaming.</li>\n\t<li>Merchandise from developers, tech companies, and other brands that make gaming great.</li>\n\t<li>Console free-play area where you can enjoy thousands of gaming hits for free.</li>\n\t<li>Expert panels and keynote speeches about new developers, <a href=\"/en/blog/meta-in-gaming/\">meta in gaming</a>, hot topics, and popular debates within the industry.</li>\n\t<li>LAN Parties where you can connect your own PC/Laptop to a local network and compete with your fellow PAX attendees.</li>\n\t<li>PAX Arena featuring pro eSports tournaments.</li>\n\t<li>PAX Rising Showcase is a part of the expo where budding developers can show off their products.</li>\n\t<li>Community meetups are a chance for gamers to chat, relax, party, and have fun.</li>\n\t<li>The Handheld Lounge gives attendees somewhere to relax while playing a variety of <a href=\"/en/games/os/android-games/\">Android</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/os/ios-games/\">iOS games</a>.</li>\n\t<li>Pinny Arcade is a place where attendees can view and trade <a href=\"https://gamingpins.co.uk/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">gaming-themed pins</a>.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>That’s just a <em>taste </em>of what happens at PAX East, PAX West, PAX AUS, and PAX Unplugged. If you’re a fan of gaming, these expos are a great way to immerse yourself in everything the industry has to offer.</p>\n","date":"4/14/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"PAX is a must-attend convention","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_49/image-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14755"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/raid-third-anniversary/"},"strings":{"title":"Celebrate the Third Raid: Shadow Legends Anniversary in Style!","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>Raid: Shadow Legends is turning three years old, and to celebrate, we are rolling out a series of amazing goodies, including personalized videos and free characters!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>The epic freemium fantasy <a href=\"/en/blog/gacha-games/\">gacha game</a>, Raid: Shadow Legends, is celebrating its third anniversary.

DDR5 RAM is the fifth iteration of Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DDR SDRAM).</p>\n\n<p>Your computer’s memory is still the beating heart of your gaming PC’s hardware, designed to handle the operation of all your installed games and applications, from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/survival-games/\">survival</a> to <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games/\">first-person shooter</a> games.</p>\n\n<p>Within this guide to DDR5 RAM, we’ll explore the headline improvements on DDR4 RAM and whether you should start to invest in DDR5 RAM from now onwards.</p>\n\n<h2>DDR5 RAM: Setting a new standard for PC memory</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"DDR RAM\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2012/04/01/12/46/ddr-ram-23270_960_720.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>DDR5 RAM was released into the ether in early November 2021. It was pitched alongside the 12th generation GPUs from Intel, as well as its Z690 motherboards.</p>\n\n<p>They are already being sold in the “Alder Lake” desktop processors from Intel Core. At the time of their release, they were the only mainstream chips compatible with the latest DDR5 RAM.</p>\n\n<p>However, that is sure to change in the coming weeks and months. There is an expectation within the gaming industry that most devices that currently lean on DDR4 RAM will be required to migrate over to DDR5 RAM.</p>\n\n<p>Gaming RAM is one of the most important pieces of hardware for your gaming, allowing your computer to handle temporary storage of data within your PC and giving you the chance to be fast and agile when it counts.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Gaming Computer Set Up\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2021/12/30/12/09/gaming-computer-6903836_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h3>Is DDR5 RAM available yet?</h3>\n\n<p>Yes, DDR5 RAM is available, although it has limited supporting hardware at present.</p>\n\n<p>The Alder Lake and Z690 chipset are the only compatible mainstream platforms featuring it at present.</p>\n\n<p>However, the likes of AMD and Samsung are investing heavily in ramping up mass production of superfast DDR5 RAM in the near future.</p>\n\n<h3>Is DDR5 RAM available for laptops?</h3>\n\n<p>Yes, DDR5 RAM is featured within the latest laptops built using Intel’s Alder Lake 12th generation processors. It’s also expected that DDR5 RAM will be featured within laptops powered by AMD’s Rembrandt processors.</p>\n\n<p>Unlike most desktop PCs, which allow you to customize your choice of gaming RAM between DDR4 and DDR5, it looks likely that laptop users won’t have such flexibility.</p>\n\n<p>Most high-performance laptops will feature DDR5 as a matter of course, which should ensure that the latest laptops can handle the demands of most gamers on the go.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Personalized laptops are more common than ever before\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2020/10/21/18/07/laptop-5673901_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h3>Is DDR5 RAM good for gaming?</h3>\n\n<p>When it comes to benchmarks, many <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mac-games/\">Mac</a> games have been road tested using both DDR4 and DDR5 RAM in a bid to determine the performance improvements with the latest generation of gaming memory.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.techspot.com/review/2387-ddr4-vs-ddr5/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">It was found</a> that performance improvement on games like <a href=\"https://www.ign.com/games/assassins-creed-valhalla\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Assassin’s Creed Valhalla</a> was between 13%-15% <em>better</em> with the DDR5, while the average frame rate at 1080p was up as high as 137 frames per second, suggesting that DDR5 is <em>the best</em> RAM for gaming.</p>\n\n<h2>How does DDR5 RAM compare with DDR4 RAM?</h2>\n\n<p>The difference between DDR5 RAM and its predecessor can be measured in clock rate and data rate. To measure the data rate of RAM, this is often displayed in Megatransfers per second (MT/s).</p>\n\n<p>When it comes to DDR4, typical data rates range from 1,600 MT/s through to 3,200 MT/s. In addition, clock rates for DDR4 memory weigh in between 800 MT/s and 1,600 MT/s.</p>\n\n<p>Although overclocking can sometimes give these numbers a nudge in the right direction.</p>\n\n<p>By contrast, its successor posts improved data rates in the range of 4,800 MT/s to 8,400 MT/s. Meanwhile its clock rates build upon the highest possible rates of DDR4, ranging from 1,600 MT/s through to an impressive 4,800 MT/s.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Is DDR 5 necessarily fastest?\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/02/28/07/22/speedometer-653246_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Another big difference between the fourth and fifth iteration of PC memory is their maximum die density. Dies are the integrated circuit modules within an individual stick of RAM.</p>\n\n<p>The maximum density of DDR4 dies is 16Gb, but its successor has managed to achieve a four-fold improvement in density to 64Gb.</p>\n\n<p>Although it’s said that the data width of both RAM options is similar, the fifth-generation release boasts improved channel architecture. Each stick of RAM contains two channels rather than one within a stick of DDR4.</p>\n\n<p>This means your desktop’s CPU can access the same stick of RAM twice, doubling up on your memory’s burst length and burst chop.</p>\n\n<p>The management of DDR4 RAM’s power is overseen by the motherboard. Its successor manages its own power with a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) fitted within each stick of DDR5.</p>\n\n<p>The theory behind the use of a PMIC is to ensure optimal use of power. In addition, DDR5 sticks are designed to operate at a reduced voltage than its predecessor.</p>\n\n<p>Although it’s only a modest drop from 1.2V to 1.1V, this difference will be most felt on smaller devices.</p>\n\n<h2>The problem with DDR5</h2>\n\n<p>The biggest issue with DDR5 RAM right now is its <em>availability and price.</em> A shortage of stock means that very few retailers have the next generation of RAM on their shelves.</p>\n\n<p>On the rare occasions that it is available to buy on or offline, it’s very expensive. If you have the budget to afford to be an early adopter of this technology, then by all means go ahead, but many would recommend that you hold fire and wait until the supply and price drops in tandem.</p>\n\n<p>It's also worth noting that upgrading your RAM from DDR4 to its successor may not be as straightforward as purchasing new RAM sticks.</p>\n\n<h2>DDR5 in a nutshell</h2>\n\n<p>For DDR5 to be compatible with the desktops of today, you’ll need to invest in a new motherboard and CPU too. A new power supply may also need to be factored into the equation to accommodate all of the above enhancements.</p>\n\n<p>Although DDR5 RAM will certainly set the new standard for high-performance gaming, it may be another year or two until we truly see it reach the mainstream gaming community.</p>\n","date":"4/13/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Finding the best DDR RAM for your needs takes some research","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/06/Why-You-Should-Work-Together-In-MMOs.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14749"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/npc-non-player-character/"},"strings":{"title":"NPC (Non-Player Character)","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>A non-player character (NPC) is a term originally coined by players of table-based role-playing games, describing in-game characters overseen by the \"gamemaster\" as opposed to active players.</p>\n\n<p>In video gaming terms, an NPC is a character controlled by the game’s AI, with the developers programming each NPC to feature a selection of in-game behaviors to create their personality and enhance the storyline of the game.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>How Do NPCs Affect Your Favorite Games?</h2>\n\n<p>A non-playable character differs from CPUs, which are designed to be in-game characters programmed to think and act like a human.</p>\n\n<p>NPCs can either be integral characters or fringe characters populated to add depth to open-world environments, and are most commonly featured in multiplayer games.</p>\n\n<p>If there’s only one human player involved, the computer will populate the game with multiple CPUs that are programmed to make dynamic moves based on the computer’s \"brain\".</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Even if oftentimes overlooked, NPCs are EVERYWHERE!\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/10/13/00/22/illustration-1736462_960_720.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>While CPUs can think and make split decisions in-game, the behavior of an NPC is almost always scripted. The actions of an NPC are often activated by human-controlled characters based on their actions or dialogue.</p>\n\n<p>Although in some <a href=\"/en/games/platform/html5-games/\">HTML5 games</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/flash-games/\">Flash games</a> like massively multiplayer online role-playing games (<a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPGs</a>) you can find <em>unscripted</em> NPCs, which operate as avatars managed in-house by the game’s developers.</p>\n\n<h2>The Top 10 Most Famous NPCs in Gaming History</h2>\n\n<p>Although some NPCs are little more than background fodder, several have gone on to steal the limelight and cement themselves as icons in the gaming community.</p>\n\n<p>Below, we shine a spotlight on ten legendary NPCs to have graced our screens through the decades:</p>\n\n<h3>1. Cave Johnson (Portal 2)</h3>\n\n<p>Cave Johnson is undoubtedly the most engaging NPC within the Portal franchise.</p>\n\n<p>Characterized as the ex-CEO of Aperture Science who let the power get to his head before dying in a tragic accident, Johnson’s dialog – expertly overseen by J. K. Simmons – is witty and engaging, with pre-recorded messages that bring out his personality in spades.</p>\n\n<h3>2. HK-47 (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic)</h3>\n\n<p>HK-47 is a big call to include on this list. The main reason is that you have to control it amid a combat mission.</p>\n\n<p>Nevertheless, HK-47 is an NPC that you quickly engage with throughout many aspects of KOTOR. HK-47 has a comically basic moral compass.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, he views every person as a “meatbag” and believes physical confrontation is the easiest way to settle any dispute.</p>\n\n<h3>3. Sans (Undertale)</h3>\n\n<p>Undertale is a game teeming with memorable NPCs, but if you had to make us choose, Sans would stand out at the top of the pile.</p>\n\n<p>This creepy yet equally smiley skeleton embodies everything that’s great about this title. At times, he may seem like a rather futile addition, but he also is a timely reminder not to take this game too seriously.</p>\n\n<h3>4. Dogmeat (Fallout)</h3>\n\n<p>The Fallout series is teeming with excellent NPCs, but Dogmeat stands out from the crowd as the pinnacle.</p>\n\n<p>This canine companion is one of your most regular sights and sounds on your adventures across the Fallout universe.</p>\n\n<p>Dogmeat will follow you around wherever you go, helping to make the barren wasteland a little less lonely.</p>\n\n<h3>5. Cortana (Halo)</h3>\n\n<p>Cortana is a fiercely strong personality in her own right, but Halo just wouldn’t be the same without this NPC.</p>\n\n<p>Consider Cortana as the voice of reason and knowledge to guide you along your way.</p>\n\n<p>Many NPCs of this nature have been a source of frustration among gamers in years gone by, but Cortana is an invaluable addition to this franchise.</p>\n\n<h3>6. Elizabeth (BioShock Infinite)</h3>\n\n<p>BioShock Infinite may have got plenty of things wrong, but one thing that most gamers are united on is the success of NPC companion Elizabeth.</p>\n\n<p>Elizabeth is anything but a millstone around your neck. She’s flexible and capable, with a host of unique attributes to get you out of tight situations.</p>\n\n<h3>7. The Merchant (Resident Evil 4)</h3>\n\n<p>Upon our travels in Resident Evil 4, we lost count of the number of times that the merchant would rock up on-screen to save us from the villagers, always greeting us with \"What are you buying?\".</p>\n\n<p>If you needed someone to sell you a vast array of weapons, upgrades, or healing items, he was the man to contact.</p>\n\n<h3>8. “Joker” (Mass Effect Trilogy)</h3>\n\n<p>Jeff “Joker” Moreau is up there as one of the best NPCs of all time, not just in the Mass Effect series.</p>\n\n<p>He stands head and shoulders above the rest of the Alliance fleet as one of the finest pilots, but aside from his attributes in the skies, he happens to be a hilarious personality to boot.</p>\n\n<p>Not surprising considering <a href=\"https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001293/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Seth Green</a> voiced him!</p>\n\n<h3>9. “Otacon” (Metal Gear Solid)</h3>\n\n<p>Hal “Otacon” Emmerich is a nerdy scientist, but surprisingly became one of the most recognizable figures in the Metal Gear Solid franchise.</p>\n\n<p>Despite showcasing his vulnerability by wetting himself on your first in-game meeting, Otacon gradually grows a pair as the franchise evolves, going above and beyond the call of duty to assist you.</p>\n\n<h3>10. Tom Nook (Animal Crossing)</h3>\n\n<p>Despite being an NPC, Tom Nook plays a key role in all aspects of Animal Crossing games. He operates the village store and is the go-to character to visit if you need funds to expand your adventure.</p>\n\n<p>Nook – known as Tanukichi in Japan – almost acts as the gatekeeper of the game, making sure that players progress at the right time.</p>\n\n<h2>The NPC Meme</h2>\n\n<p>In the autumn of 2018, the term NPC received further attention when it was coined as a <em>derogatory</em> meme. The meme was shared with the question “Are you an NPC?”.</p>\n\n<p>In essence, the meme was suggesting that any person labeled an NPC was devoid of being able to think for themselves and was simply happy to follow the crowd.</p>\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/HwcNLGiKVEc\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>It’s even become an insult thrown around by gamers at those deemed to lack in-game intelligence to prevail (arguably most notable in games <a href=\"/en/blog/dnd-classes/\">such as D&D</a> where players <em>must</em> be active).</p>\n\n<p>Nevertheless, an NPC remains integral to the dynamics of so many of the latest titles, adding a layer of authenticity that makes these virtual worlds more immersive than ever before.</p>\n","date":"4/12/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"NPCs has become synonymous with mindlessness in gaming","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/13.png"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14743"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/football-video-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Football Video Games in History: Sports Games that Always Score"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Top foootball video games ","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/football-video-games-1.jpg"}},"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)"},"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"}},"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!"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Find the best controller for PC that suits YOUR needs","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/14_Handheld_Consoles.png"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14781"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/fps-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Our Top FPS Games of 2022 and 2021"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"FPS games are among the most popular shooter subgenres","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/21.png"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14775"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/popular-board-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Popular Board Games (& Video Counterparts) -

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 style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</a></p>\n\n<p>In a world where games are going mobile, players aren’t always used to the nuances of controllers.

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.

Some of the most popular board games have even transcended into the world of video gaming, cementing these titles at the heart of popular culture.</p>\n\n<p>Here are the top six most popular board games and their video game equals, as well as board games that never hit the heights in video gaming.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>For many years, popular board games have been replicated on desktop PCs and consoles, some as the same games but on a different platform, and some in the form of <a href=\"/en/games/category/new-games/\">completely new games</a>.</p>\n\n<p>They’ve helped digitize family-favorite games on television screens in all four corners of the globe. The finest replicas of classic popular board games retain the feeling of playing <em>off-screen</em> by remaining as true as possible to the game’s roots.</p>\n\n<p>For several decades, board games have been the source material and inspiration for video game developers. However, there is a sense that the balance is shifting in the opposite direction.</p>\n\n<p>There is a growing number of adults that enjoy indulging in tabletop popular board games. With that in mind, we’re also witnessing an era where popular video games are also being replicated in board game form.</p>\n\n<h2>What Is the #1 Board Game in the World?</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Strategy - Chess might just rule as the world's most popular game\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/12/07/10/40/strategy-1080527_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>It would appear to be a toss-up between Monopoly and Chess for the most popular board games in the world.</p>\n\n<p>In North America, the chess market is said to be worth $40.5 million alone, with Richest labeling it the highest-selling board game ever. It’s hard to argue given that Chess is a game that’s transcended multiple <em>centuries</em>, with its origins dating back to the 13th century.</p>\n\n<p>However, Monopoly must surely be at the top of the popular board games leaderboard from a commercial perspective. Location-specific editions have proven to be a huge commercial success worldwide. Today, it’s played and licensed in over 103 nations and 37+ languages.</p>\n\n<p>Although we’ll explore the conversion of popular board games like Monopoly into commercially viable video games below, we’ll also demonstrate the lure of video game-themed tabletop games too.</p>\n\n<h2>The Most Popular Board Games and Their Video Counterparts</h2>\n\n<h4>Monopoly PLUS</h4>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The iconic Monopoly figures are instantly recognizable\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2020/05/06/09/33/monopoly-5136946_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>It’s no surprise that one of the market leaders in popular board games would have a plethora of video game variants. Monopoly has had video game versions dating back to 1985, but its Monopoly PLUS series appears to be the most popular in recent times. Available on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox One, and 360, as well as the Nintendo Switch, this 3D version offers more immersive gameplay than ever before.</p>\n\n<h4>Trivial Pursuit</h4>\n\n<p>Like Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit has long been in the popular board games category worldwide. Considered the world’s best-known general knowledge game, it has been easily replicated on PC and consoles, bringing a fast-paced gameshow-style experience to screens. More recently, a Trivial Pursuit Live version from Ubisoft has enabled friends and family to compete against one another online in real-time.</p>\n\n<h4>Catan</h4>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Catan is world-known as a board game\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2019/09/21/14/57/catan-4494043_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Catan is one of the top multiplayer popular board games that’s transcended continents in terms of its playability. Although it originated in Germany, it has been published elsewhere across Europe and Asia in particular. As of 2020, some 32 million units had been sold of the board game in 40 languages, which explains why Catan has translated so seamlessly to video gaming too. With all of its complex rules neatly packaged in a video game version, it offers a refreshing user experience, complete with multiple view modes of the settlements.</p>\n\n<h4>Doom: The Board Game</h4>\n\n<p>Doom is a video game that is one of the oldest and most popular franchises worldwide. It became an immediate commercial success upon its release on PC back in 1993. A couple of sequels later and several spin-offs, it’s little surprise that a board game was next on the agenda in 2004. With playable demons and marines, this four-player board game pits players head-to-head in rival groups, each with its own goals and in-game attributes. Although the dice-based battles are rather less gory than the video game combat, it remains true to the original game dynamics.</p>\n\n<h4>Civilization: A New Dawn</h4>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Civilization video game series characterizes turn-based strategy titles\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2019/07/03/14/05/civilization-4314653_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Sid Meier’s Civilization video game series still characterizes turn-based strategy titles to this very day. Such was the impact this franchise had on gamers in the 90s. Next Generation labeled it fourth in their top 50 games of all time back in 1999, harking back to its “complex” in-game variables that give it genuine longevity. Civilization: A New Dawn was a board game released in 2017 that rapidly became one of the most popular board games for adults brought up in the pre-Millennium era. Suitable for up to four players, you’re tasked with developing your own Empire and leaving a mark on history.</p>\n\n<h4>XCOM: The Board Game</h4>\n\n<p>Sci-fi video game classic XCOM first shot to prominence in 1994. This elite organization, formed to tackle the rising alien invasions on Earth, has since become a hit with tabletop game players too. The board game design was the brainchild of board game designer Eric Lang, with its impressive visuals making it one of the leading video game-inspired popular board games of its generation. Players are tasked with leading the XCOM organization to save humanity against the intergalactic enemy. Players don’t engage in combat within the board game and instead use strategy to carefully plan the use of resources and units, as well as the research and development of new technologies to counter the alien forces.</p>\n\n<h2>Popular Board Games That Never Became Online Gaming Hits</h2>\n\n<h4>Cribbage</h4>\n\n<p>Cribbage is a strategy and math-driven board/card game that’s existed for many generations. It can be a slow-paced game, particularly for beginners, and with the number of cribbage players diminishing in the real world, it’s no surprise there’s been little appetite for a video game version.</p>\n\n<h4>Azul</h4>\n\n<p>Azul is a popular board game based on abstract strategy. Inspired by Portuguese culture, players use tiles known as “azulejos” to try to make patterns on the board to earn points. Despite its colorful appearance, it has failed to translate to the video game scene thus far.</p>\n\n<h4>Scrabble</h4>\n\n<p>There have been multiple video game adaptations of the classic spelling board game Scrabble in the last 30 years, but none of them have managed to hit the heights of some of the titles mentioned earlier in this article. Between January 2000 and August 2006, Scrabble was only the 78th best-selling video game in the US and there’s little sign that its ranking has improved since.</p>\n","date":"4/25/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Crossing the border with board to video games","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_2/header.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14761"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/may-the-4th/"},"strings":{"title":"May the 4th Be with You — What Does It Mean & Where Did It Start Anyway?!","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Become the Jedi you were destined to be and celebrate in style with everything you need to know about <strong>May the 4th Be with You Day!</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>May the 4th isn’t an arbitrary date on the calendar. Well, in some respects, it is.</p>\n\n<p>However, thanks to George Lucas and the sci-fi community, it has a significance beyond the passing of time. Why? Because it’s also Star Wars Day!</p>\n\n<p>What is Star Wars Day? Why is it called Star Wars Day? And how do you celebrate Star Wars May 4th Day? We’ve answered those questions and more in our guide to May the 4th.</p>\n\n<h2>What is the Meaning of May the 4th be with You?</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"One of the most prominent figures quoted to this day as saying \"May the force be with you!\" - Yoda\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/03/11/01/21/yoda-667955_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>May the 4th be with you is a reference to the immortal phrase uttered by Jedis: <q>may the force be with you</q>. Given the phonetic similarities between the phrases <em><strong>May the 4th</strong></em> and <em><strong>may the force</strong></em>, Star Wars fans have claimed the date as their own.</p>\n\n<p>In line with this, May 4th Star Wars Day is a time for sci-fans, aspiring Jedis, and people from galaxies far, far away to come together. Whether it’s physically or virtually, Star Wars enthusiasts will congregate to celebrate their favorite movie franchise in a variety of ways.</p>\n\n<p>Such is the popularity of May the day and its celebrations, that it’s now recognized by <a href=\"https://www.lucasfilm.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Lucasfilm</a> and its parent company, <a href=\"https://www.disney.com\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Disney</a>. This has resulted in a variety of official and unofficial May 4th Star Wars Day events.</p>\n\n<p>Before we explain what’s in store for May the fourth be with you in 2022, here’s a bit about the day’s cultural significance.</p>\n\n<h2>Who Says May the Fourth Be with You? The Cultural Significance of May 4th</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/VH83SsL_fIQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>George Lucas created the original Star Wars movie in 1977. It became an instant hit and, even after more than 40 years, it is still remembered fondly.</p>\n\n<p>With Lucas striking a chord with his tale of intergalactic warriors battling across far away worlds, two subsequent movies were released (the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi).</p>\n\n<p>At this point, a culture was developing around Star Wars. Action figures and games were being released. Fast-forward to today and the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia entry for Star Wars</a> describes it as an “American epic space-opera multimedia franchise.”</p>\n\n<p>In other words, it’s an ongoing saga that encompasses movies and more.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, if you look through the franchise as a whole, you’ll find Star Wars collectibles, TV shows, board games, and more. If you’re a gamer, fans of the sci-fi saga have gone as far as to adapt <a href=\"/en/blog/dnd-classes/\">Dungeons and Dragons</a> (D&D) to include a Star Wars quest.</p>\n\n<p>Put simply, Star Wars has become much more than a series of movies and that’s why May the 4th be with you is such a big event.</p>\n\n<h2>When is May the 4th Be with You Day?</h2>\n\n<p>Well, you don’t have to be a genius to work out that May the fourth be with you day is on May 4th. It’s an annual event that’s been officially celebrated since 2011. However, there were pockets of activity around the world long before May 4th was recognized as an official day.</p>\n\n<p>By 2013, Disney began observing the annual celebration. That’s led to a variety of interesting and entertaining events. From special screenings of Star Wars to fancy dress parties, people are now celebrating May the 4th be with you Day in a myriad of ways.</p>\n\n<h2>How Do You Celebrate?</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Star Wars fans cosplaying as Siths\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/04/25/22/54/sith-2261087_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Saying May the fourth be with you is the easiest way to observe Star Wars Day. It also lets people know that you’re a sci-fi fan. However, if your love for Luke Skywalker et al runs deeper, you can take part in a variety of special events on May 4th.</p>\n\n<p>Previous May the 4th be with you days have seen festivals take place around the world, online screenings, and more.</p>\n\n<h3>2022-Relevant May the 4th celebrations include:</h3>\n\n<h4>Wearing the Official T-Shirt:</h4>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>To mark May the 4th be with you Day, Disney has created official t-shirts. Costing $24.99 each, the Star Wars May 4th t-shirts feature the famous saying, Yoda, and various characters, including Boba Fett.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h4>Star Wars Celebration 2022:</h4>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>It may not be taking place on May the 4th, but the 2022 Star Wars convention <em>is </em>happening in May. Running from <em>May 26 to May 29 </em>at the Anaheim Convention Center, this is the ultimate fan experience. As well as celebrity guests and exhibits, there will be people in costumes, games, and more. So, if you buy tickets, you can celebrate May 4th Star Wars Day by preparing an outfit for the convention.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h4>Learn How to Become a Jedi:</h4>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>If you own an Amazon Alexa, you can say the following phrase on May 4th: “Alexa begin my Jedi lesson.” That request starts a series of nine lessons every Jedi needs to learn. You can also play a variety of Star Wars games with Alexa!</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h4>Special Releases:</h4>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>May the 4th will also be a chance for you to get special previews, spoofs, and toys courtesy of StarWars.com. Last year’s list of ideas and innovations included a novel version of the Force Awakens featuring Maggie Simpson (shown on Disney+), discounts on Star Wars games, and the premiere of Star Wars: the Bad Batch.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>As well as these celebrations, look out for social media meetups and special online viewing parties.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, if you’re a Star Wars fan and want to celebrate May the 4th be with You Day in style, you’ll be spoiled for choice in 2022!</p>\n","date":"4/25/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"May the 4th Be With You!","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/05/positive-aspects-gaming-part-2.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14758"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/pax/"},"strings":{"title":"Penny Arcade Expo: Immerse Yourself in Gaming at PAX Events","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Are you a fan of arcade games?

Yes, there is at least one PAX convention every year. The dates for each expo are released throughout the year, but events typically take place in April, September, October, and December. PAX East kicks off the annual schedule and PAX Unplugged brings the year to a close.</p>\n\n<p>Will PAX East happen in 2022? Yes! The Penny Arcade Expo schedule contains a confirmed listing for PAX East. Based on the information published so far, this is how gamers can get their expo fix in 2022:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>PAX East: 21-24 April 2022, Boston Convention & Exhibition Center</li>\n\t<li>PAX West: Dates TBA in Seattle</li>\n\t<li>PAX AUS: Dates TBA in Melbourne</li>\n\t<li>PAX Unplugged: Dates TBA in Philadelphia</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What Exactly is PAX?</h2>\n\n<p><strong>PAX stands for Penny Arcade Expo</strong>. The original PAX convention took place in 2004. It was created by the authors of the webcomic <a href=\"https://www.penny-arcade.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Penny Arcade</a>, Jerry Holkins, and Mike Krahulik. Holkins and Krahulik wanted to create a show specifically for gaming and, with their first love being penny arcade and tabletop games, PAX was born.</p>\n\n<p>The popularity of PAX has increased over the years and, in line with demand for tickets, the convention has evolved. From<a href=\"https://www.paxsite.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"> the original PAX</a>, which attracted 3,300 attendees, it grew from a single-day expo to a four-day event.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Pax convention is a completely immersive experience\" src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/Pax06expofloor.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>The first four-day expo was dubbed PAX Prime and attracted over 70,000 visitors in 2013. Also, part of this initial growth phase was a partnership with ReedPop. The events company has helped turn Penny Arcade’s one-time event into an annual series of expos.</p>\n\n<p>Before PAX Prime, the organizers had already started experimenting with expos outside of the original host city, Seattle. In 2010, PAX East took place in Boston’s Hynes Convention Center. With over 67,000 attendees, PAX East quickly became a rival to PAX Prime.</p>\n\n<p>By 2012, the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center had become the home of PAX East, which was now a staple of Penny Arcade’s calendar of events.</p>\n\n<h3>The Evolution of PAX</h3>\n\n<p>Between 2013 and 2015, <strong>PAX Australia</strong> and <strong>PAX South</strong> were added to the schedule. The inaugural PAX AUS took place in 2013 at the Melbourne Showgrounds before it moved to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Ubisoft at PAX\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/08/24/14/10/gamescom-2676958_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Back in the US, the first PAX South took place in San Antonio and became the biggest inaugural Penny Arcade event in history. Unfortunately, despite the initial popularity of PAX South, it was discontinued in 2021 because of waning interest.</p>\n\n<p>Adding to the PAX schedule of events in 2017 was Unplugged. This expo focused on one specific feature of the Penny Arcade universe, tabletop games. This genre had been a bit-part player in previous PAX conventions.</p>\n\n<p>However, a surge of interest in tabletop games allowed a spinoff event to be made. PAX Unplugged might not be as popular as Pax East and Pax West, but is an integral part of the annual line-up.</p>\n\n<p>Each PAX event has its own nuances but, overall, they all have the same fundamental structure. The only notable change in recent years is the renaming of PAX Prime to PAX West. So, that’s just about all you need to know about the history of PAX.</p>\n\n<p>Looking forward, PAX 2022 is on the horizon. So, with this in mind, here are the details you need to know…</p>\n\n<ul>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>Registration: How to Attend Penny Arcade Expos</h2>\n\n<p>All Penny Arcade Expo events are ticket-only. That means you need to register online and buy badges. These badges can get you access to specific days. Alternatively, you can get badges that give you access to the expo for four days.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Most conventions require a badge or a pass in order to get in\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/03/24/14/43/access-1276873_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Unlike some gaming expos, Penny Arcade and ReedPop have kept the entrance fee to an affordable level. For PAX East 2022, the price for single and multi-day badges was:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Single Day PAX East Badge = $62</li>\n\t<li>Four-Day PAX East Badge = $235</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What’s On at PAX Conventions?</h2>\n\n<p>Every PAX convention is a celebration of arcade games and tabletop games. There are interactive elements where attendees can play <a href=\"/en/games/genre/survival-games/\">games of survival</a>, <a href=\"/en/games/category/new-games/\">new releases</a>, arcade hits, and more.</p>\n\n<p>There are expert panels covering a variety of topics, including the development of hit games, new technology and more.</p>\n\n<p>Put simply, PAX is an all-encompassing experience that covers everything the gaming world offers. For those looking to attend at Penny Arcade Expo, here are the things you can see and do:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The Expo Hall is where you can find previews of new games, technology, and content from AAA publishers, indie developers, and the biggest names in the industry.</li>\n\t<li>Meet and greets with popular figures from the world of gaming.</li>\n\t<li>Merchandise from developers, tech companies, and other brands that make gaming great.</li>\n\t<li>Console free-play area where you can enjoy thousands of gaming hits for free.</li>\n\t<li>Expert panels and keynote speeches about new developers, <a href=\"/en/blog/meta-in-gaming/\">meta in gaming</a>, hot topics, and popular debates within the industry.</li>\n\t<li>LAN Parties where you can connect your own PC/Laptop to a local network and compete with your fellow PAX attendees.</li>\n\t<li>PAX Arena featuring pro eSports tournaments.</li>\n\t<li>PAX Rising Showcase is a part of the expo where budding developers can show off their products.</li>\n\t<li>Community meetups are a chance for gamers to chat, relax, party, and have fun.</li>\n\t<li>The Handheld Lounge gives attendees somewhere to relax while playing a variety of <a href=\"/en/games/os/android-games/\">Android</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/os/ios-games/\">iOS games</a>.</li>\n\t<li>Pinny Arcade is a place where attendees can view and trade <a href=\"https://gamingpins.co.uk/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">gaming-themed pins</a>.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>That’s just a <em>taste </em>of what happens at PAX East, PAX West, PAX AUS, and PAX Unplugged. If you’re a fan of gaming, these expos are a great way to immerse yourself in everything the industry has to offer.</p>\n","date":"4/14/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"PAX is a must-attend convention","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_49/image-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14755"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/raid-third-anniversary/"},"strings":{"title":"Celebrate the Third Raid: Shadow Legends Anniversary in Style!","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>Raid: Shadow Legends is turning three years old, and to celebrate, we are rolling out a series of amazing goodies, including personalized videos and free characters!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>The epic freemium fantasy <a href=\"/en/blog/gacha-games/\">gacha game</a>, Raid: Shadow Legends, is celebrating its third anniversary.

DDR5 RAM is the fifth iteration of Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DDR SDRAM).</p>\n\n<p>Your computer’s memory is still the beating heart of your gaming PC’s hardware, designed to handle the operation of all your installed games and applications, from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/survival-games/\">survival</a> to <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games/\">first-person shooter</a> games.</p>\n\n<p>Within this guide to DDR5 RAM, we’ll explore the headline improvements on DDR4 RAM and whether you should start to invest in DDR5 RAM from now onwards.</p>\n\n<h2>DDR5 RAM: Setting a new standard for PC memory</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"DDR RAM\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2012/04/01/12/46/ddr-ram-23270_960_720.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>DDR5 RAM was released into the ether in early November 2021. It was pitched alongside the 12th generation GPUs from Intel, as well as its Z690 motherboards.</p>\n\n<p>They are already being sold in the “Alder Lake” desktop processors from Intel Core. At the time of their release, they were the only mainstream chips compatible with the latest DDR5 RAM.</p>\n\n<p>However, that is sure to change in the coming weeks and months. There is an expectation within the gaming industry that most devices that currently lean on DDR4 RAM will be required to migrate over to DDR5 RAM.</p>\n\n<p>Gaming RAM is one of the most important pieces of hardware for your gaming, allowing your computer to handle temporary storage of data within your PC and giving you the chance to be fast and agile when it counts.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Gaming Computer Set Up\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2021/12/30/12/09/gaming-computer-6903836_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h3>Is DDR5 RAM available yet?</h3>\n\n<p>Yes, DDR5 RAM is available, although it has limited supporting hardware at present.</p>\n\n<p>The Alder Lake and Z690 chipset are the only compatible mainstream platforms featuring it at present.</p>\n\n<p>However, the likes of AMD and Samsung are investing heavily in ramping up mass production of superfast DDR5 RAM in the near future.</p>\n\n<h3>Is DDR5 RAM available for laptops?</h3>\n\n<p>Yes, DDR5 RAM is featured within the latest laptops built using Intel’s Alder Lake 12th generation processors. It’s also expected that DDR5 RAM will be featured within laptops powered by AMD’s Rembrandt processors.</p>\n\n<p>Unlike most desktop PCs, which allow you to customize your choice of gaming RAM between DDR4 and DDR5, it looks likely that laptop users won’t have such flexibility.</p>\n\n<p>Most high-performance laptops will feature DDR5 as a matter of course, which should ensure that the latest laptops can handle the demands of most gamers on the go.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Personalized laptops are more common than ever before\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2020/10/21/18/07/laptop-5673901_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h3>Is DDR5 RAM good for gaming?</h3>\n\n<p>When it comes to benchmarks, many <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mac-games/\">Mac</a> games have been road tested using both DDR4 and DDR5 RAM in a bid to determine the performance improvements with the latest generation of gaming memory.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.techspot.com/review/2387-ddr4-vs-ddr5/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">It was found</a> that performance improvement on games like <a href=\"https://www.ign.com/games/assassins-creed-valhalla\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Assassin’s Creed Valhalla</a> was between 13%-15% <em>better</em> with the DDR5, while the average frame rate at 1080p was up as high as 137 frames per second, suggesting that DDR5 is <em>the best</em> RAM for gaming.</p>\n\n<h2>How does DDR5 RAM compare with DDR4 RAM?</h2>\n\n<p>The difference between DDR5 RAM and its predecessor can be measured in clock rate and data rate. To measure the data rate of RAM, this is often displayed in Megatransfers per second (MT/s).</p>\n\n<p>When it comes to DDR4, typical data rates range from 1,600 MT/s through to 3,200 MT/s. In addition, clock rates for DDR4 memory weigh in between 800 MT/s and 1,600 MT/s.</p>\n\n<p>Although overclocking can sometimes give these numbers a nudge in the right direction.</p>\n\n<p>By contrast, its successor posts improved data rates in the range of 4,800 MT/s to 8,400 MT/s. Meanwhile its clock rates build upon the highest possible rates of DDR4, ranging from 1,600 MT/s through to an impressive 4,800 MT/s.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Is DDR 5 necessarily fastest?\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/02/28/07/22/speedometer-653246_960_720.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Another big difference between the fourth and fifth iteration of PC memory is their maximum die density. Dies are the integrated circuit modules within an individual stick of RAM.</p>\n\n<p>The maximum density of DDR4 dies is 16Gb, but its successor has managed to achieve a four-fold improvement in density to 64Gb.</p>\n\n<p>Although it’s said that the data width of both RAM options is similar, the fifth-generation release boasts improved channel architecture. Each stick of RAM contains two channels rather than one within a stick of DDR4.</p>\n\n<p>This means your desktop’s CPU can access the same stick of RAM twice, doubling up on your memory’s burst length and burst chop.</p>\n\n<p>The management of DDR4 RAM’s power is overseen by the motherboard. Its successor manages its own power with a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) fitted within each stick of DDR5.</p>\n\n<p>The theory behind the use of a PMIC is to ensure optimal use of power. In addition, DDR5 sticks are designed to operate at a reduced voltage than its predecessor.</p>\n\n<p>Although it’s only a modest drop from 1.2V to 1.1V, this difference will be most felt on smaller devices.</p>\n\n<h2>The problem with DDR5</h2>\n\n<p>The biggest issue with DDR5 RAM right now is its <em>availability and price.</em> A shortage of stock means that very few retailers have the next generation of RAM on their shelves.</p>\n\n<p>On the rare occasions that it is available to buy on or offline, it’s very expensive. If you have the budget to afford to be an early adopter of this technology, then by all means go ahead, but many would recommend that you hold fire and wait until the supply and price drops in tandem.</p>\n\n<p>It's also worth noting that upgrading your RAM from DDR4 to its successor may not be as straightforward as purchasing new RAM sticks.</p>\n\n<h2>DDR5 in a nutshell</h2>\n\n<p>For DDR5 to be compatible with the desktops of today, you’ll need to invest in a new motherboard and CPU too. A new power supply may also need to be factored into the equation to accommodate all of the above enhancements.</p>\n\n<p>Although DDR5 RAM will certainly set the new standard for high-performance gaming, it may be another year or two until we truly see it reach the mainstream gaming community.</p>\n","date":"4/13/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Finding the best DDR RAM for your needs takes some research","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/06/Why-You-Should-Work-Together-In-MMOs.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14749"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/npc-non-player-character/"},"strings":{"title":"NPC (Non-Player Character)","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>A non-player character (NPC) is a term originally coined by players of table-based role-playing games, describing in-game characters overseen by the \"gamemaster\" as opposed to active players.</p>\n\n<p>In video gaming terms, an NPC is a character controlled by the game’s AI, with the developers programming each NPC to feature a selection of in-game behaviors to create their personality and enhance the storyline of the game.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>How Do NPCs Affect Your Favorite Games?</h2>\n\n<p>A non-playable character differs from CPUs, which are designed to be in-game characters programmed to think and act like a human.</p>\n\n<p>NPCs can either be integral characters or fringe characters populated to add depth to open-world environments, and are most commonly featured in multiplayer games.</p>\n\n<p>If there’s only one human player involved, the computer will populate the game with multiple CPUs that are programmed to make dynamic moves based on the computer’s \"brain\".</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Even if oftentimes overlooked, NPCs are EVERYWHERE!\" src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/10/13/00/22/illustration-1736462_960_720.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>While CPUs can think and make split decisions in-game, the behavior of an NPC is almost always scripted. The actions of an NPC are often activated by human-controlled characters based on their actions or dialogue.</p>\n\n<p>Although in some <a href=\"/en/games/platform/html5-games/\">HTML5 games</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/flash-games/\">Flash games</a> like massively multiplayer online role-playing games (<a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPGs</a>) you can find <em>unscripted</em> NPCs, which operate as avatars managed in-house by the game’s developers.</p>\n\n<h2>The Top 10 Most Famous NPCs in Gaming History</h2>\n\n<p>Although some NPCs are little more than background fodder, several have gone on to steal the limelight and cement themselves as icons in the gaming community.</p>\n\n<p>Below, we shine a spotlight on ten legendary NPCs to have graced our screens through the decades:</p>\n\n<h3>1. Cave Johnson (Portal 2)</h3>\n\n<p>Cave Johnson is undoubtedly the most engaging NPC within the Portal franchise.</p>\n\n<p>Characterized as the ex-CEO of Aperture Science who let the power get to his head before dying in a tragic accident, Johnson’s dialog – expertly overseen by J. K. Simmons – is witty and engaging, with pre-recorded messages that bring out his personality in spades.</p>\n\n<h3>2. HK-47 (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic)</h3>\n\n<p>HK-47 is a big call to include on this list. The main reason is that you have to control it amid a combat mission.</p>\n\n<p>Nevertheless, HK-47 is an NPC that you quickly engage with throughout many aspects of KOTOR. HK-47 has a comically basic moral compass.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, he views every person as a “meatbag” and believes physical confrontation is the easiest way to settle any dispute.</p>\n\n<h3>3. Sans (Undertale)</h3>\n\n<p>Undertale is a game teeming with memorable NPCs, but if you had to make us choose, Sans would stand out at the top of the pile.</p>\n\n<p>This creepy yet equally smiley skeleton embodies everything that’s great about this title. At times, he may seem like a rather futile addition, but he also is a timely reminder not to take this game too seriously.</p>\n\n<h3>4. Dogmeat (Fallout)</h3>\n\n<p>The Fallout series is teeming with excellent NPCs, but Dogmeat stands out from the crowd as the pinnacle.</p>\n\n<p>This canine companion is one of your most regular sights and sounds on your adventures across the Fallout universe.</p>\n\n<p>Dogmeat will follow you around wherever you go, helping to make the barren wasteland a little less lonely.</p>\n\n<h3>5. Cortana (Halo)</h3>\n\n<p>Cortana is a fiercely strong personality in her own right, but Halo just wouldn’t be the same without this NPC.</p>\n\n<p>Consider Cortana as the voice of reason and knowledge to guide you along your way.</p>\n\n<p>Many NPCs of this nature have been a source of frustration among gamers in years gone by, but Cortana is an invaluable addition to this franchise.</p>\n\n<h3>6. Elizabeth (BioShock Infinite)</h3>\n\n<p>BioShock Infinite may have got plenty of things wrong, but one thing that most gamers are united on is the success of NPC companion Elizabeth.</p>\n\n<p>Elizabeth is anything but a millstone around your neck. She’s flexible and capable, with a host of unique attributes to get you out of tight situations.</p>\n\n<h3>7. The Merchant (Resident Evil 4)</h3>\n\n<p>Upon our travels in Resident Evil 4, we lost count of the number of times that the merchant would rock up on-screen to save us from the villagers, always greeting us with \"What are you buying?\".</p>\n\n<p>If you needed someone to sell you a vast array of weapons, upgrades, or healing items, he was the man to contact.</p>\n\n<h3>8. “Joker” (Mass Effect Trilogy)</h3>\n\n<p>Jeff “Joker” Moreau is up there as one of the best NPCs of all time, not just in the Mass Effect series.</p>\n\n<p>He stands head and shoulders above the rest of the Alliance fleet as one of the finest pilots, but aside from his attributes in the skies, he happens to be a hilarious personality to boot.</p>\n\n<p>Not surprising considering <a href=\"https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001293/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Seth Green</a> voiced him!</p>\n\n<h3>9. “Otacon” (Metal Gear Solid)</h3>\n\n<p>Hal “Otacon” Emmerich is a nerdy scientist, but surprisingly became one of the most recognizable figures in the Metal Gear Solid franchise.</p>\n\n<p>Despite showcasing his vulnerability by wetting himself on your first in-game meeting, Otacon gradually grows a pair as the franchise evolves, going above and beyond the call of duty to assist you.</p>\n\n<h3>10. Tom Nook (Animal Crossing)</h3>\n\n<p>Despite being an NPC, Tom Nook plays a key role in all aspects of Animal Crossing games. He operates the village store and is the go-to character to visit if you need funds to expand your adventure.</p>\n\n<p>Nook – known as Tanukichi in Japan – almost acts as the gatekeeper of the game, making sure that players progress at the right time.</p>\n\n<h2>The NPC Meme</h2>\n\n<p>In the autumn of 2018, the term NPC received further attention when it was coined as a <em>derogatory</em> meme. The meme was shared with the question “Are you an NPC?”.</p>\n\n<p>In essence, the meme was suggesting that any person labeled an NPC was devoid of being able to think for themselves and was simply happy to follow the crowd.</p>\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/HwcNLGiKVEc\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>It’s even become an insult thrown around by gamers at those deemed to lack in-game intelligence to prevail (arguably most notable in games <a href=\"/en/blog/dnd-classes/\">such as D&D</a> where players <em>must</em> be active).</p>\n\n<p>Nevertheless, an NPC remains integral to the dynamics of so many of the latest titles, adding a layer of authenticity that makes these virtual worlds more immersive than ever before.</p>\n","date":"4/12/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"NPCs has become synonymous with mindlessness in gaming","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/13.png"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14743"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/football-video-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Football Video Games in History: Sports Games that Always Score"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Top foootball video games ","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/football-video-games-1.jpg"}},"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)"},"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"}},"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!"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Find the best controller for PC that suits YOUR needs","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/14_Handheld_Consoles.png"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14781"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/fps-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Our Top FPS Games of 2022 and 2021"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"FPS games are among the most popular shooter subgenres","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/21.png"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14775"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/popular-board-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Popular Board Games (& Video Counterparts) -
