The Sims 2 Comes to Verizon Phones

By Digital Trends Staff March 23, 2006

Sims on your cell phone? That’s the plan Verizon and Electronics Arts were cooking up as they announced yesterday two versions of The Sims 2 which are available for immediate download on select â€œGet It Nowâ€ enabled phones. The mobile Sims 2 version will in many ways mirror the experience PC gamers currently enjoy.

The Sims 2 Connected Edition, said EA and Verizon, allows players to download content from their Sims PC game directly to their wireless phones. The more basic Sims 2 offers classic Sims gameplay that allows players to â€œsatisfy their Sims’ daily wants, needs and demands by growing their Sims’ career skills, buying their Sims special home furnishings and developing relationships with other Sims.â€

The Sims 2 Connected Edition will cost $4.99 monthly access or $9.99 for unlimited use purchase and The Sims 2 will run for $3.99 monthly access or $7.99 unlimited use purchase.

GTA 5 cheats: codes and phone numbers PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC

The main characters of Grand Theft Auto V stand side-by-side.

A slam-dunk of a game for the talented developers at Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto V has been out for several years now, but it’s still an extremely popular title. We’re also guessing there’s some renewed interest in the game because the world knows we’re getting a Grand Theft Auto VI in the somewhat-near future. If you’ve ever played a GTA game, you’ll know the going can get a little tough from time to time. This is why it’s nice to live in a world with cheat codes.

Whether you just want to have a ton of fun with unlimited health and ammunition, or you’re seriously struggling with a certain section of the game, we’ve rounded up all the cheat codes you’ll need to know for GTA V, for platforms including PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC.
How to use GTA 5 cheats
There are a few ways to enter GTA 5 cheat codes. The first and easiest is to use your cellphone. You can open your cellphone by pressing Up on the D-pad. From there, enter the corresponding number, and the cheat will fire. You can also classically input cheats by following a specific button combination. The combinations are the same across PlayStation and Xbox, but we've split them up to account for their different button-naming conventions, so it should feel more natural reading and entering them.

The Sims 5: release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and more

sims 4 for rent expansion pack shared living the 6

It's time to brush up on your Simlish if it's rusty because the long-awaited The Sims 5, aka Project Rene, is officially on the way. This has been the longest gap between main entries since the series began, and while we did get tons of expansions for The Sims 4 to hold us over, plus the change to it becoming free to play, we're more than ready for a new entry. Each time a new game in the franchise comes out, die-hard fans always need to have a bit of skepticism about what features will be there -- both new and returning. Again, the last entry eventually got to a great spot, but it certainly wasn't there at launch. We can't answer all your questions yet, but here's everything we know about The Sims 5.
Release date speculation

Still referred to by the code name Project Rene, The Sims 5 (which we will call it until the official title is revealed) does not have a release window as of now. Developer Maxis did state it was working on it in October 2022 at the Behind the Sims Summit presentation. The only clue we got there was this statement from Lyndsay Pearson, franchise creative vice president: "Over the next couple of years, we'll continue sharing updates with all of you on Project Rene."

I spent 100+ hours in Hades. Here are my impressions of Hades 2

Melinoe being shot at by a witch.

The worst thing Hades 2 could do is ruin Hades.

The original Hades, a critically acclaimed action game by Supergiant Games, is one of the best games of all time, and it would be a shame for the highly replayable roguelike to be surpassed by a sequel that is just Hades, but more. Thankfully, it doesn't look like Hades 2 will fall into that trap.
