Star Wars has had a major presence in video games for decades, but the franchise is expanding to somewhere it’s never gone before this September: The Sims 4. During Gamescom Opening Night Live, EA announced The Sims 4 is getting a Star Wars expansion, Journey to Batuu, and it’s now available to pre-order as a bundle for PS4 and Xbox One at Amazon. The Sims 4 Star Wars bundle gets you the base game and the new Star Wars expansion for $40, so it’s a great intro to The Sims 4 if you’ve never picked up the game. If you already have the base game, you’ll be able to download the expansion on its own for $20 when it releases September 8.

The expansion takes your Sims to the Black Spire Outpost on the world of Batuu, which is occupied by both the Resistance and the First Order. Your Sim will have to choose which side to align themselves with, and as you complete missions, you’ll earn reputation points with the faction you’ve associated yourself with, which in turn affects how the locals react to them.

Mega Evolutions have arrived in Pokemon Go, giving players the ability to power up certain Pokemon into new forms. In order to Mega Evolve a Pokemon, however, you’ll need to collect that monster’s Mega Energy, which can primarily be obtained through Mega Raids.

These new Raid Battles having you facing off against a Mega-Evolved Pokemon, and they’re quite challenging. To help you out, we’ve put together this rundown on Mega Raids and rounded up some tips to help you conquer each of the new Mega Raid bosses.

What Are Mega Raids?

Mega Raids are a new tier of Raid Battles that will periodically occur at Gyms. These are roughly equivalent to Legendary Raids in terms of challenge, except they feature a Mega-Evolved Pokemon as the Raid boss.

Newegg is kicking off the weekend with an awesome gaming PC deal that knocks a fair chunk of change off its price. The ABS Master gaming PC is $1,300 (down from $1,500) and comes with a Steam key for the standard edition of the upcoming Marvel’s Avengers. This deal is only valid until September 6, and supplies are limited, so you’ll want to order soon if you’re interested. It comes with free shipping and can arrive as early as September 3–or even sooner if you increase your shipping speed.

The ABS Master gaming PC comes equipped with an i7-10700K processor, an RTX 2060 Super, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. That makes it one heck of a machine that’s capable of running most modern games at 1080p with high settings. It also comes with a 512GB SSD. I’d recommend buying an extra SSD if you want to store a lot of games on your PC at once. The ABS Master also comes with a keyboard and mouse.

Madden NFL 21 is a tale of two games, really. It introduces The Yard, the best new Madden game mode in more than a decade, situating itself nicely alongside the breezy and fun Superstar KO mode that arrived last year. But outside of these exciting inclusions that are well-suited for short sessions, Madden NFL 21 feels all too familiar, even for an annual sports sim. The tentpole modes that require a deep investment haven’t received meaningful updates, and the on-the-field gameplay doesn’t do much to move the series forward and is hampered by surprising technical issues.

EA Sports has done well as of late with recognizing that not every player wants to sink a dizzying number of hours into Franchise or Ultimate Team. With Madden NFL 20, EA added Superstar KO, a sudden death overtime mode where each player gets one possession. It returns in Madden NFL 21 largely unchanged, retaining its excellent high-stakes matches. With Madden NFL 21, EA has added a second casual game mode that is even better than Superstar KO.

The Yard is easily the most over-the-top game mode to ever appear in Madden. Inspired by backyard football, teams of six compete on an 80-yard field, getting three possessions each to try and score. You can play against the computer, team up with one or two friends, or see how you stack up online against other players. While it doesn’t feature NFL Blitz-esque hits, you can get really imaginative with the stripped-down playbooks. You’re allowed to throw unlimited forward passes behind the line of scrimmage, and many of the plays are set up to encourage this. Adding to this mechanic is the ability to snap the ball to any of your teammates. The Yard hinges on extravagant plays, as it requires you to move the ball 20 yards for a first down. Due to the limited number of blockers, there’s a delay before the defense can pass the line of scrimmage.

Note: This post spoils some of the story points of Control’s AWE DLC. If you’d rather experience those moments in the DLC, hold off on reading this until after you’re done.

The folks at Remedy Entertainment have been pretty clear over the years that they would really like to continue the story of 2010’s Alan Wake. Despite two DLC additions and a smaller, combat-focused pseudo-sequel, there’s been no resolution to the story of the titular writer, who ended the original game trapped by an evil supernatural entity called the Dark Presence.

There are connections to Alan Wake in other Remedy games, but up until now, we’ve only gotten them as Easter eggs and hints. But Control’s final DLC addition, AWE, is very focused on tying the world of Alan Wake to the world of Control. And the end of the DLC makes it very clear: We’re headed back to Bright Falls in the future to continue Alan Wake’s story.
