The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu game pack is a bit of a change of pace for the series.
While this isn't the first time that The Sims has changed up its gameplay or, indeed, featured a cross-over with another franchise (remember when The Sims 3: Supernatural met Plants vs Zombies?), going from a quiet suburban life in Willow Creek straight into the galactic melting pot of Batuu can potentially be a bit of a culture shock for Sims and players alike.

3DS flash card manufacturer Gateway has been accused of allowing users' 3DS consoles to become irretrievably bricked by a secret "kill switch" it introduced in a recent update.
Report indicate that the doomsday trigger will activate if users attempt to modify a file within Gateway's illicit game launcher - something many recently attempted after a method to circumvent the 3DS' region-locking was discovered.
Once activated, the code will corrupt the 3DS' NAND flash memory beyond repair - leaving some who have used the device with no choice but to send their handhelds to Nintendo for repair.

Syndicate moves Assassin's Creed forward with a solid new adventure, a beautiful London playground and a renewed sense of fun. For a series focused on history, Syndicate feels refreshingly free from Assassin's Creed's own. Plenty has already been written about Assassin's Creed Unity, last year's underwhelming entry in the series. The intense negative reaction upon Unity's initial release lingered through its slow cycle of post-launch patches, to the extent that the game's season pass was cancelled and its major add-on was offered free as a result.

Dishonored is 12 to 14 hours long - for "very direct players", Arkane Studios has revealed. But the promising first-person stealth action hybrid can take up to 28 hours to complete if you explore.

Explorers who eavesdrop a lot will take twice as long.

Following the release of some... interesting screenshots back in May, today we're finally getting a look at the first trailer for Lord of the Rings: Gollum, the upcoming title from Daedalic Entertainment. Oh, and also a little more about the design decisions behind those screenshots - including why Gollum looks like he's sporting a quarantine haircut.
The teaser doesn't give a whole lot away, other than plenty of shots of Gollum scurrying around in a cave, but we do have a couple of tidbits of new information.
