     Best police games on PC 2024

What are the best police games? We have all briefly considered life as a super sleuth or detective. Whether drawn in by the position of authority, the puzzling casework, or even the hard-drinking, police games tend to deliver plenty of action and intrigue.

However, unlike many of the best PC games, cops aren't all gunslingers in John Woo-esque shootouts or chasing criminals in high-speed car chases. The best police games often see you digging through crime scenes for evidence and carrying out routine procedures rather than pursuing perps with your gun drawn. If you're looking for Sherlock and the other gifted PC game sleuths, check out our best detective games list.

     Dynasty Warriors Origins release date, trailer, and news

When is the Dynasty Warriors Origins release date? Since the PlayStation 2 era, Dynasty Warriors has focused on two key concepts: having more playable characters than a typical fighting game, and battering through thousands of enemies. The newest entry in this long-running series focuses on a single protagonist, but they're still slaying tons of foes at once on their journey through the alt-history of the Three Kingdoms conflict.

While we don't yet know how this nameless hero affects the story in Koei Tecmo's action game, we'll get to make key decisions that affect the war. In Dynasty Warriors Origins, you may discover the consequences of pursuing Lu Bu at Hulao Gate and preventing Guan Yu from reuniting with Liu Bei. Perhaps you'll even determine the new Emperor of China. Whatever awaits, here's what we know about the Dynasty Warriors Origins release date so far.

     Car Dealership Tycoon codes November 2024

If you've always wanted to run your own car dealership, test drive the fastest sports cars, and rake in that cash, then Foxzie's Car Dealership Tycoon is for you.

As with any new business, you need money to get off the ground. Sure, Car Dealership Tycoon hands out easy money, as you can earn it by simply driving around the Roblox experience, but you'll be driving for a while before you can add that new floor to the showroom. If you're a little light on customers, why not take a break from running your business with Anime Champions Simulator codes, Southwest Florida codes, and Blox Fruits codes instead?

November 18, 2024: We have checked for new Berry Avenue codes.

What are the new Berry Avenue codes? Rather than being a conventional Roblox game that uses tower defense, RPG, or shooting game-style mechanics, Berry Avenue is a playground where you can buy a house, work a job, or drive around without a care in the world looking fabulous.

However, you may have noticed that everyone else looks much more stylish than most Roblox experiences.

     Best gaming laptop 2024

The best gaming laptops give desktops a run for their money, with the added conveniences of better portability and a built-in display. However, for all the similarities these clamshell computers share with the best gaming PCs, they have many unique qualities you need to consider before buying. Whether you want a desktop replacement or a mighty micro machine, we're here to help you find the right model.

The latest laptops pack Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 or AMD Radeon RX 7000 series graphics, alongside AMD Ryzen 7000 and 13th Gen Intel Core processors, which will run the best PC games smoothly. Higher-spec models will typically run hot and loud under full load, as the components inside them pull the most power and require more active cooling.

Battery life is important when buying a gaming laptop, but you'll get the most performance out of one by plugging it in. This is true at every price point, from the best budget laptops to the most expensive. Generally, the most critical specs will be your GPU and CPU, as most models feature upgradeable RAM and SSD storage.

Other factors like a laptop's screen also greatly impact the experience of using it, with the resolution, refresh rate, and panel type all affecting usability. Some even feature dual-mode displays, as seen in our Razer Blade 16 review. We're constantly testing the latest gaming laptops so that you can buy the best one for your budget and needs.

     Best BO6 and Warzone Jackal PDW loadout and class build

What is the best Jackal PDW loadout in Black Ops 6 and Warzone? A brand new Call of Duty game is upon us, which means it's time to break out the ol' magnifying glass to work out what the best attachments are for each weapon.

Not only is it one of the most agile SMGs in the game, but it's also capable of hosting up to 50-round magazines, ensuring you always have enough bullets when you run into enemies.

Fortunately, developer NCSoft and publisher Amazon Games have been quick to act, making great strides in improving the player experience.

     Payday 3 to have a smaller team, less investment going forward, Starbreeze says

If the last few years of the videogame industry have taught me anything, it's to expect a comeback. CD Projekt Red made sure Cyberpunk 2077 would rise from the ashes, Hello Games continues to support No Man's Sky after almost a decade, and Square Enix's Final Fantasy 14 2.0 turned the MMO into a gargantuan success. I have faith that Payday 3 will join these games, especially after the improvements Starbreeze has made to the co-op FPS in its first year. As we enter the game's next year of content, however, Starbreeze says it'll be lowering investment and using a smaller team - but it's not as bad as it might sound.

     This retro PC case from Silverstone is bringing the beige box back from the dead

They don't make them like they used to, or so we all thought. If you're hankering for a return to the era of very big, very beige PC cases, then Silverstone's new retro PC case might be just up your street. As if plucked straight from the late 1980s, the new Silverstone FLP01 is a blast from the past, being a horizontal, desktop-style case coming in the first quarter of 2025.

It's fair to say that the best PC case designs have moved on in the last few decades, where RGB rules the roost in most gaming builds. While there's certainly nostalgia for the big beige boxes of yesteryear, this new Silverstone retro PC case is one of the first modern cases to bring those original designs back to market, whether customers really want them or not.

     Back 4 Blood 2 could be on the way as mysterious new clues point to FPS sequel

Dying Light 2 has been getting better and better, State of Decay 3 is in the works, and Left 4 Dead 2 recently celebrated its 15th anniversary - it's been a good year for the zombie FPS genre. But what about Back 4 Blood? From Turtle Rock, the studio that worked within Valve on L4D, it's been quietly successful on Steam for the past four years, but never hit the heights of its spiritual predecessor. The player count is consistent. The user reviews range from positive to mixed - maybe, if Turtle Rock had the chance to make a new Back 4 Blood, it could remedy all the little (and not so little) problems that muted its debut. Based on some telling new clues, that might be about to happen. Back 4 Blood 2 could well be in the works.

A senator for the US government has urged Valve to answer complaints about the amount of racist, sexist and otherwise hateful posts and imagery shared by users on Steam. The digital store was the subject of a report by the Anti-Defamation League last week, which claimed to find millions of examples of "hateful or extremist" language and images hosted on Steam's community. These include things like Nazi symbols in profile pictures, white supremacist slogans in group names, and yet more discriminatory spew in user posts. The senator has noticed this report, and now writes directly to Gabe Newell, demanding that Valve "bring its content moderation practices in line with industry standards" or risk "intense scrutiny" from the government.

snoopy christmas concert 2024

Hanshin Electric Railway published the exclusive merchandise that'll be at the Magical Christmas Night 2024 Snoopy concert in December 2024. Performances will take place in Hyogo, Hokkaido, and Tokyo. [Thanks, PR Times!]

These goods are only available at the concert hall. This means that, unlike with goods like figures and such, overseas fans won't be able to purchase them. Granted, Japanese fans won't be able to either unless they go to the concert. The merchandise for the Snoopy Christmas concert are:

  • Acrylic keyholders: 1300 JPY each (4 variations)
  • Cloth bag: 1700 JPY
  • Compact mirror: 1600 JPY
  • Miniature towel: 1500 JPY (for two)
  • T-shirt: 5800 JPY each
  • Tote bag: 3900 JPY

All of the goods feature a similar design to this year's banner. It depicts Snoopy dancing next to a Christmas tree that resembles a musical score. The tree itself is the score sheet while the ornaments are the notes. Charlie Brown and Schroeder are present as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMOFK2BRe6k

This will be the fifth Billboard Classics and Snoopy concert, which started in 2020 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Peanuts. There will be a different guest artist at each location. Win Morizaki will be at Hyogo, Kimika will be at Hokkiado, and Thelma Aoyama will be at Tokyo. Tickets range between 9000 JPY ($58.30) and 38,000 JPY ($246.20).

The Billboard Classics x Snoopy Magical Christmas Night 2024 concert will take place on December 8 (Hyogo), December 12 (Hokkaido), and December 23 (Tokyo).

sanrio my melody kuromi anniversary

Sega Plaza posted an anniversary party picture for My Melody and Kuromi. Next year, there will be special goods of the two characters in Sega Plaza crane games.

2025 will mark the 50th anniversary of My Melody and the 20th anniversary of Kuromi. To commemorate this milestone, Sega Plaza will release plushes and other sorts of goods in Summer 2025. To advertise this, it posted a picture of My Melody and Kuromi holding up a cake that celebrates their respective anniversaries. The cake has strawberries on it, and they're wearing matchy dresses with a cake pattern on the hem.

My Sweet Piano will also be part of the celebrations, with her goods appearing in Sega Plaza next year as well. She is My Melody's best friend, debuting in 1980 as Hitsuji and becoming PIano in 2005. That means, like Kuromi, 2025 will be her 20th anniversary. It's unknown why Sega did not include My Sweet PIano in the picture with My Melody and Kuromi.

Since her debut in 1975, My Melody has been one of the more popular Sanrio mascots. She is a rabbit who wears a red or pink hood. Kuromi exists in the same universe as My Melody as her rival and doppelganger. Her naughty personality and design made her very popular among subculture communities like the punks and goths. As a result, Kuromi appears just as often as My Melody when it comes to merchandise and collaborations.

The My Melody, Kuromi, and My Sweet Piano anniversary goods will appear in Sega Plaza from Summer 2025.
