Forge Of The Chaos Dwarfs comes April 13th Total War: Warhammer 3is getting a new expansion on April 13th. The Forge Of The Chaos Dwarfs campaign pack adds, well, the Chaos Dwarfs, with three Legendary Lords - Astragoth Ironhand, Drazhoath theAshen, and Zhatan the Black - and new campaign objectives and units to command. One of those units is a big, roaring daemon-machine-dinosaur hybrid. Chaos Dwarfs are Gimlis gone dark, a mixture of evil sorcerers and murderous engineers, who are attempting to build the “Great Drill of Hashut” in order to mine through reality itself....

Boss baby The Sims 4has now birthed its free Infants update, which takes the runtiest part of your digital doll’s lives and expands upon it. Sims during those pre-walking years now have full needs and wants, which means the Sims around them will need to spend more time caring for them lest they grow into maladjusted adults. At launch,The Sims 4’s children were flimsily represented, as they skipped from inanimate “baby” to walking-talking child....

Crash and learn As video game time loops go,The Wreck’s endlessly repeating car crash has to be one of the worst fates to get stuck in. Sure, it’s not quite as bad as ‘death by exploding sun’ inOuter Wilds, say, but when each crash is also accompanied by heroine Junon reliving a harrowing memory from her past that she’ll need to sort through and analyse before she’s able to (quite literally) move on with her life, I reckon that one-two punch of sudden physical trauma and deep, emotional soul-bearing is probably just about on par with having skin and muscle seared off your own bones by a honking great supernova....

A 27-in model with solid specs rebranded by AWD-IT. Right now you can pick up a 4K 144Hz monitor for only £450, thanks to a £150 discount at AWD-IT on their own-brand X= XRGB27UHD 27-inch monitor. I’ve actuallytested this model for Eurogamer, and I was impressed with what you get for that original RRP - and now that it’s £150 off, it’s entered great value territory. First, the good stuff. Having a 4K screen at this size is brilliant, because text appears super crisp and games are beautifully detailed....

An incredibly low price for an esports-grade gaming monitor. This model uses an IPS panel, so it’s not quite as fast as Fast IPS or TN panels, but it still should provide good motion handling along with wide viewing angles and wide, accurate colour reproduction. This makes the monitor a good all-rounder, although at this deal price it is likely to outperform almost anything at the $100 mark in terms of image quality!...

A five hour build and a chat with game director David Stenton Walking around the deserted streets of Los Angeles - and you can take your leisure, inDead Island 2, because most zombies are quite shambly - I encountered many a rich-person decor. Last week, I was given a preview build of the upcoming first-person zombie-smasher and played about the first five hours of it in single-player, taking in sights like a community of gated millionaire mansions, a slightly less palacious but still ridiculous neighbourhood, and an upmarket hotel styled after the famous Beverly Hills Hotel....

Maybe the real keys were the zombies we killed along the way I was going to do this as a sidebar in mylarger articlepreviewingDead Island 2, but then I realised it would be a sidebar of about 800 words, which is not a sidebar Alice, for God’s sake, pull yourself together.Dead Island 2is set in LA, known as HellA as a little play on words, because it’s full of zombies now....

That’s around £245 worth of equipment, both in gleaming white. White PC builds seem to be on-trend these days, as brands finally get the memo that colour options are appreciated. If you like the sound of that, today’s deal on a Corsair 4000X PC case and H100iEliteCapellix 240mm AiO from Ebuyer in the UK is ideal, providing the two most prominent components of your build in gleaming white - and at a considerable discount....

There’s also a new demo live right now with a built-in Twitch mode Homicidal All-Stars, the turn-based strategy game set inside a dystopian, Running Man-style TV show, has both a new name and a final release date, publishers Good Shepherd Entertainment have announced today. Releasing on May 2nd, Homicidal All-Stars will now be known asShowgunners, and… I dig it. It’s much snappier than Homicidal All-Stars, and feels more in keeping with its deadly reality game show setting....

Retro consoles, coke bottles, and deliberate glitches To track the public understanding of modern-day indie gaming is to look at the small-scale independent development scene through an Anglo-centric lens. While it would be unfair to ignore the hobbyists programming experiences in BASIC on their ZX Spectrum or similar, it’s commonly accepted that indie gaming as we recognise it today has its roots in the early days of the internet and the Y2K boom, when Flash, Gamemaker Studio and similar tools allowed things likeCave StoryandNto grow....

Patch One is due to launch on Thursday March 16th You don’t need a degree in rocket science to know thatKerbal Space Program 2didn’t exactly launch in the best of states last month. From its astronomicallyhigh PC requirementsto the numerous bugs identified in ourearly access review, it’s been a rough ride for developers Intercept Games, but hope is on the horizon. In a new development update, creative director Nate Simpson has announced the first major patch will be arriving on Thursday March 16th, primarily focusing on “performance improvements and bug squashing”....

Plus an extra £40 off with Samsung cashback. We’ve covered theSamsung T7 Touch SSDbefore now, which offers similar internals plus a fingerprint reader. We found the latter a bit of a fuss, to be honest, so to get the SSD instead with an armoured exterior makes a lot of sense - especially as the Shield is both faster and cheaper. The Samsung T7 Shield hasn’t gotten the full RPS review treatment, but we have named the Shieldthe best rugged external SSD for gaming, with hardware editor James pointing to the drive’s rubbery exterior and IP65 water/dust resistance as great reasons to pick the T7 Shield if you reckon your drive will be sitting in the bottom of a backpack or some other not-100%-safe environment most of the time....
