Hitman 2 preview: New sniper co-op mode is both tactical and fun

Hitman 2 is on the way, and with it comes a brand new co-op sniper mode.

MotoGP 18 Review

Last year I made a statement about MotoGP. I said that the MotoGP series had a problem. It had stagnated as a series and wasn’t making any real noticeable improvements. From the visuals to the gameplay, it just felt like the series was stuck in the mud, turning its wheels but going nowhere. MotoGP 18 has the chance to change that, being the first in the series on Unreal Engine 4.

Have Milestone made the necessary changes or is this just another case of stuck in the mud? Let’s find out.

Razer Core V2 External Graphics Enclosure Review

eGPUs (external GPU enclosures) promise the best of both worlds, allowing you to carry a thin-and-light laptop while you're on the road and then turn it into a gaming behemoth when you're at your desk. $499 (GPU not included), the Razer Core V2 can turn Thunderbolt 3-enabled laptops into bonafide gaming PCs, but competitors are significantly cheaper.

Razer’s minimalist aesthetic and premium build quality are the Core V2’s highlights. The case is built out of solid aluminum with a matte, anodized finish. The aluminum is quite thick and hefty, and is wrapped into a single rectangular piece with soft corners. The left side features a cutout and a mesh grille, allowing your GPU fans to suck cool air. The opposite side features an engraving of Razer's company logo.

Swiftech SKF TR4 Heirloom CPU Block Review

Swiftech has long been a major influencer in the liquid cooling industry. Known for custom watercooling blocks and being at the forefront of providing complete, boxed liquid cooling kits for overclockers and enthusiasts in the early 2000’s, Swiftech continues to provide high-end cooling solutions for the latest PC hardware.

Fast-forward to 2017 to the release of AMD’s highly anticipated Threadripper CPU platform. Aimed at the performance desktop and enthusiast PC power user, Threadripper chips and their server-side counterparts, Epyc, both utilize a socket larger than any the PC industry had yet seen. Waterblocks--which were originally designed to fit both Intel and AMD CPUs--had to be re-engineered to provide adequate coverage and cooling capability for Threadripper.

Thermaltake Toughpower Grand Series RGB 650w PSU Review

As a brand, while Thermaltake may not necessarily be one of the first manufacturers you list, they are certainly a recognizable name. Known largely for their power supply, chassis design, and cooling options, they have in recent years spread their wings a little in terms of having a larger product range. That doesn’t, however, mean that they have slowed down any development on the base of their business.

With the release of the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand Series RGB power supplies, they are doing something a little different this time around. As the name would suggest, this 750w power supply comes with RGB lighting effects. While this is common for coolers, RAM, and other components, it is a little usual for power supplies. This, if for no other reason than usually their location precludes any point of it. I mean, it’s not as if you’re going to be staring at the base of your PC is it?
