I bet everyone did Anyone that has even the slightest bit of familiarity withHotline Miamiknows what defines it. The neon-swathed visuals, the gratuitous violence, the quick and unforgiving gameplay, and the blaring soundtrack all made the game as loved as it was. With regard to a sequel, any deviation from this formula would result in something that just wasn’tHotline Miami. So, Dennaton Games isn’t going to.

We all knewa Nintendo Direct was coming this month; the companysaid as much in May. The real question is what will actually be shown. Nintendo’s release schedule for the rest of 2024 and beyond is barren (with the exception ofLuigi’s Mansion 2 HDandNintendo World Championships: NES Edition), and the company itself has offered no hints as to what can be expected, leaving all of us free rein to predict what could be announced....

I got a few rounds in last night and came away more convinced than ever that Blizzard should continue down this path and, ideally, make this and future PvE events permanent. This new event rewinds the clock seven years to show us Tracer’s first mission with Overwatch....

A baby keyboard for your baby fingers When Logitech started their G Pro Gaming line with amouse, I found it to be a simplistic but efficient device that would work well for eSports. Well, at least, I think it would. I’m not good enough for tournaments. I’m happy just to finish a match in any game without someone yelling at me about how I’m a shitstain on this Earth and I don’t even deserve to play....
