Yesterday, 2K announced that Persia, led by Cyrus the Great, would be one of two new civilizations added to Civilization 6 in upcoming DLC. Today, it unveiled Cyrus' partner in that expansion, and he's pretty great too. His name is Alexander, son of Philip, and he's the ruler of Macedon.

BOWLING NIGHT STUFF PACK FOR THE SIMS 4 ARRIVES MARCH 29
http://www.pcgamer.com/bowling-night-stuff-pack-for-the-sims-4-arrives-march-29/
The Sims 4's next pack, called 'Bowling Night Stuff,' will arrive on March 29, according to a post on the game's official site. You'll be able to build a custom bowling alley for your Sims to visit, and add new furniture, decorations, and neon lights. You can even throw in a bar so your Sims can get nice and loaded because, let's face it, drinking helps take your mind off the fact that you're wearing rented shoes a thousand pairs of feet have occupied before.

 

WATCH THE TEASER FOR LIFELESS MOON, THE 'SPIRITUAL SUCCESSOR' TO LIFELESS PLANET
http://www.pcgamer.com/watch-the-teaser-for-lifeless-moon-the-spiritual-successor-to-lifeless-planet/
Lifeless Planet, a game about exploring a distant alien world that's dotted with some oddly familiar features, did not thrill me as much as I hoped I would. But I still very much like the idea of Lifeless Planet: A weird, pulpy story styled after the softcover sci-fi classics of the 1950s. And so I was happy to receive today's announcement of a follow-up called Lifeless Moon, which is now in the works at developer Stage 2 Interactive.

 

UBISOFT RESPONDS TO FOR HONOR MICROTRANSACTION CONTROVERSY
http://www.pcgamer.com/ubisoft-responds-to-for-honor-microtransaction-controversy/
For Honor attracted the wrong kind of attention last week when a reddit user did the math on the game's cosmetic microtransactions.
In theory, cosmetics don't give you an advantage: they're designed to make you look a little bit nicer. Also, according to For Honor game director Damien Kieken, speaking on the weekly 'Warrior's Den' livestream, you're not meant to want them all anyway.

Last week, Blizzard suggested Diablo 3's extensive 2.5.0 was around the corner and, lo and behold, it's arrived less than one week later. Bringing with it the new Armory feature, crafting material storage, and a host of items and quality of life improvements.

 

ALL WALLS MUST FALL IS A GORGEOUS 'TECH-NOIR' TACTICS GAME THAT IMAGINES THE COLD WAR NEVER ENDED
http://www.pcgamer.com/all-walls-must-fall-is-a-gorgeous-tech-noir-tactics-game-that-imagines-the-cold-war-never-ended/
Inbetweengames is a group of Berlin-based ex-Yager devs whose debut project is All Walls Must Fall—a super-stylish "tech-noir" tactics game set in the year 2089 in a world where the Berlin Wall still stands and the Cold War never ended. Mixing time travel, futuristic dystopia, stealth and backs-to-the-wall rhythm-inspired combat, the game echoes everything from X-Com to Syndicate, Superhot to Braid, Crypt of the Necrodancer to any number of old-school isometric DOS games. It's early days yet, but it looks pretty fantastic.

ELITE DANGEROUS IS GETTING PAID-FOR COSMETIC SHIP NAMEPLATES
http://www.pcgamer.com/elite-dangerous-is-getting-paid-for-cosmetic-ship-nameplates/
While it seems the alien Thargoids who turned up in Elite Dangerous might be more hostile than first thought, it looks like you'll at least have the chance to look good before they lash out. That's because the space adventure sim will soon let you name your spaceship and buy cosmetic ship name plates.

>>That's kind of cheap, right? But not cheap as not expensive, it's rather cheap as miserable. At least to me. But of course, if people are fine buying hats...
