The Sims 4 Growing Together adds some much-needed spark to Sims’ relationships

The Sims 4‘s upcoming Growing Together expansion pack and its supporting free base game update. This was obviously a real treat for me as RPS’ resident Sims fanatic, but I’ll admit I went in with my expectations parked in neutral. After all, the theme of this new-content duo is young families, and that just isn’t part of the game I engage with too much these days.

Total War: Warhammer 3 Immortal Empires’ 1.0 release shows that hubris is good, actually

Total War: Warhammer 3? What’s next, a title screen review? A lengthy personal essay about an attract mode clip? Can my cat get a review? First off, yes. Captain Waffles is a visceral tour-de-force that no fan of the genre should miss. 10/10. Secondly, you should know that Immortal Empires is, as far as Total War: Warhammer goes, the game mode. More importantly, this ridiculously expansive, years-spanning grand-strategy project exists as tangible proof that sometimes, the limitless hubris of man is actually rad as hell, despite what the ancient Greeks said. Euripides nuts, more like.

Blumhouse are adapting Dead By Daylight into a film

Dead By Daylight is apparently coming to Hollywood in the form of a new film adaptation. The two production companies involved are longtime horror fixtures Atomic Monster (who have made The Conjuring, Annabelle, and Malignant) and Blumhouse (the company behind Paranormal Activity, M3GAN, and Get Out.) The film doesn’t have any talent attached right now, but the two companies are currently looking for a director and a screenwriter. Blumhouse says, “it’s imperative we find someone who appreciates and loves the world as much as we do, to help us bring the game to the big screen”.

Amazon Basics enters PC hardware with a familiar CPU cooler

air cooler. Judging from the manual it supports the very latest socket types for Intel and AMD’s gaming CPUs, and being under the Amazon Basics brand, it’s dirt cheap at £21 / £27.

It’s unlikely, though, that Bezos and the gang have been secretly funding R&D into an all-new line of PC gear. As Tom’s Hardware spotted, the Amazon Basics Computer Cooling Fan appears to simply be an existing budget cooler, the Cooler Master Hyper H410R, without the CM badge.

Alienware’s 34-in AW3423DWF QD-OLED ultrawide is down to £880 at Amazon UK

talked about a few times, as this 34-in ultrawide QD-OLED manages to outperform almost everything else on the market – albeit with a four-figure price tag that also eclipses almost every alternative.

Now though, this 3440×1440 165Hz gaming OLED has dropped in price by a sizeable 26% or £310. That brings the monitor well into three-figure territory at £880, still pricy but a reasonable value given that this Dell monitor is head and shoulders above its IPS, VA and TN opponents.

Age Of Wonders 4 is 4X fantasy with the scope and breadth of a D&D RPG

Age Of Wonders: Planetfall three-odd years ago, developers Triumph are now returning to their fantastical 4X strategy roots with Age Of Wonders 4, due out on PC in just a couple of months on May 2nd – and what a homecoming it’s shaping up to be. I’ve spent the better part of a week and half playing an early build of AOW 4, getting to grips with its enormous array of customizable factions and hero types in its generous crop of single-player realm maps.

There’s a heck of a lot to get through, but rest assured: this is Age Of Wonders through and through – and thanks to the addition of those new, customizable factions, it’s also the most RPG-like entry yet, which is good news for budding D&D-ers looking for a grand, 4X strategy game to sink their teeth into. Heck, I’d even go as far as saying it could be one of this year’s biggest and most exciting fantasy games outside of Baldur’s Gate 3.
