Sims get sexy in ‘Master Suite’ update
New video games this week:
“The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff.” — Most add-on packs for the long-running “Sims” franchise involve vacationing, pets, outdoor living and other seemingly trivial items. But EA Games is apparently bringing sexy back with this collection of romantic relaxation aids like virtual candles, a canopy bed and sets of lingerie and sleepwear for both female and male Sims. For those who use “The Sims” games as little more than excuses to plot out elaborate soap operas using digital dolls, this is the update for you. Rated T for Teen. $20 for Windows PCs and Mac (also available as a digital download).
“SOL: Exodus.” — This game, developed in Austin by Seamless Entertainment, is a space shooter powered by the Unreal game engine. The year is 2500 and humans are on the search for a homeland on the edge of the solar system. It’s focused on 3-D space combat in the tradition of “Wing Commander.” $10, downloadable for Windows PC (at steampowered.com starting Wednesday).
Also out this week: “Tropico 3: Gold Edition” (Mac), “Tropico Trilogy” (PC), “Victoria II: A House Divided” (downloadable for PC), “My Pet Puppy” (Nintendo 3DS), “National Geographic Challenge” (PlayStation 3 Move), “Fairway Fever” (PC), “Dark Tales 3: Edgar Allen Poe’s The Premature Burial” (PC), “OilRush” (PC, Mac and Linux), “Killzone” (downloadable for PS3), “Quarrel” (downloadable for Xbox 360), “Puddle” (downloadable for Xbox 360).
