Under the cover of loud fireworks explosions, even hardcore gamers will be giving this title a go, because, well, it’s The Sims and you are curious.

Here are the new games you can play this week.

The Sims 4

The Sims 4 hits the shelves for PC on 5 September 2014, and although there are no swimming pools and toddlers, EA does promise a bigger and better game compared to its predecessors.

This year’s Sims is focusing more on the characters, with unique personalities, individual appearances, and “new and big” emotions being punted by the game’s creators.

Dead Rising 3

Dead Rising 3 for the PC is scheduled to be released on 5 September 2014.

Not only has Capcom promised full Steam support for the title – achievements, Steam Cloud, Trading Cards, global leaderboards, and controller support – they assure that gamers will be able to slaughter zombies with planks, DDTs, guns, more planks, and the limbs of other zombies.
