     We basically just got a new Hotline Miami game

Hotline Miami remains one of the best PC games of all time. Vivid, violent, surreal, and stylish, its combination of neon gore and pounding dance music creates a dizzying aesthetic unlike any other top-down game ever made. Hotline Miami 2 was a capable sequel, but with the retro '90s renaissance and the rise of indie FPS hits like Dusk, Turbo Overkill, and Cultic, the shooter genre has become defined by variations on Doom, Quake, and Half-Life. Hotline Miami 3 may never happen, but a new independent 2D indie game comes pretty close. Available to play as of today, this is Kusan City of Wolves, and it feels basically like a new Hotline Miami game.

     Colorful's new RTX 4070 Super will make your case shine, literally

Colorful is at it again with new Nvidia RTX 4070 Super designs that are also available for the RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4080 Super. While Colorful may primarily cater to the Asian market, it's not impossible to get your hands on one of its GPUs in North America or Europe, you just need to be wary of who you're buying from.

Four new designs have been revealed during CES 2024, including an amazing holographic card that will make your gaming rig pop. While the RTX 4080 Super looks set to take its place as one of the best graphics cards you can buy, why settle for a basic design when you could have one of these instead?

     Resident Evil is being review bombed after Capcom reportedly adds DRM

Resident Evil Revelations, the spin-off, third-person shooter from 2012, is being review bombed on Steam following claims that Capcom updated the game to include DRM (digital rights management) software. As of this writing, the RE Revelations Steam rating, based on recent reviews, has plummeted to 'mostly negative,' following an influx of criticism beginning on Wednesday January 10. Capcom has previously said that it regards videogame mods as equivalent to cheating, and a variety of backend updates have been made to Resident Evil Revelations during the past week. The creator of the DRM software allegedly added to the horror game has also replied to players, though the contents and nature of Capcom's recent updates remain unclear.

     LoL tier list 14.1 – the best League of Legends champions 2024

What are the best League of Legends champions? Metas change, the LoL tier list will fluctuate, and it could be that your favorite champion might not be in a great place right now. While you can win games and climb the ranked ladder with nearly anyone in the lower ranks, the changes that come via champion and item balancing can tip the scales enough that some picks are almost mandatory, regardless of which rank you play in.

Whether it's due to a buff, kit change, or item change, these picks will give you the best chance to climb the solo queue ranks in the free PC game. If you do want to play something other than what's on this list, keep these champions in mind for your ban, as they all have the potential to go on and dominate Summoner's Rift.

     Best stealth games on PC 2024

What are the best stealth games? Occasionally, the best stealth games are their own thing, resulting from a developer channelling all the mechanics into the suspense and satisfaction of killing, stealing, and infiltrating unnoticed. Most of the time, though, stealth is just one of several ways you can navigate a game, as you consciously opt for the path of the shadowy rogue or incisive assassin over more forceful approaches.

Nothing beats the thrill of doing things on the down low, which is why some of these are the best PC games out there. Stealth games highlight that neat joy of entering a space and leaving it unchanged except for the briefcase you were told to extract or that one person who was your target now lying dead without anyone having noticed - the alarms going off at the precise moment you coolly walk away from the scene undetected.

     Elder Scrolls 6 release date estimate, trailers, and latest news

When is the Elder Scrolls 6 release date? The next instalment of Bethesda's critically acclaimed RPG series has been a long time coming.

     This AI controller knows your next move before you make it

If you played games in the late 90s and early naughties, GameShark is a name that might be very familiar. Its target market was gamers looking to cheat, or at the very least, gain an unfair advantage over tricky mechanics. Now, it's onto the modern-day equivalent of cheat codes, an AI game controller that learns your every move and adjusts to help you in clutch moments.

Much can be said for how AI is changing daily life, and its readiness for mass rollout, but GameShark believes it's onto a winner in the games hardware industry with its CES 2024 reveal. The AI Shark Controller won't be among the best PC controllers on the market, largely because we can see the tech being ousted by developers at their earliest convenience.

Bandai Namco have slapped a release date on Ilca Inc's Sand Land, which isn't a dodgy themepark created by an over-ambitious building supplies firm, but an action RPG adaptation of the same-named manga by Akira Toriyama, in which a titchy demon searches for the Legendary Spring and goes to war with a king who is hogging all the water.

It's out 26th April 2024, and alternates beat 'em up action with cartoon tank customisation, in a sort of Dragon Ball X Mad Max homage with chunks of Dragon Quest thrown in for good measure.

Core Engage and Daedalic Entertainment have released a new overview trailer for New Cycle, their post-apocalyptic "dieselpunk" city management game. "New Cycle" is obviously a bit of a self-contradiction, and I suspect that's deliberate - one of the questions the video leaves you with is whether there is "a future beyond survival", or whether we are doomed to just repeat the processes of extraction and gradual building-up, resource overexploitation and encroaching disaster suggested by these 12 jam-packed minutes of in-game footage.
