The Sims 4 is getting a new expansion next month called Get Famous that will enable your Sims to—surprise!—get famous.

When you're not building snowmen in Battlefield 5 (d'aww), you'll spend most of your time firing weapons. Senior game designer Rickard Antroia explains there's more to the war shooter's Bullet Penetration system than you might think.
Billed as a "binary experience" in previous games, Bullet Penetration is far more sophisticated this time round.
