One of the best stealth games is finally releasing on Nintendo Switch in two weeks

The classic stealth title Hitman: Blood Money is finally making its way to Nintendo Switch as Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal later this month.

Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal brings all 12 levels from the original 2006 release alongside a whole host of enhancements including a modernized control scheme and a reworked UI that includes a new mini-map. It also features an “Instinct Mode”, inspired by more recent entries in the series like Hitman 3, that allows you to easily highlight enemies and objectives in the environment.

A new trailer shows some of these features in action on Nintendo Switch:

The port is being developed by Feral Interactive, who have an absolutely superb track record when it comes to bringing older games to mobile platforms. They previously released the incredibly impressive iOS and Android port of Alien: Isolation, which saw a feature complete and visually stunning version of the 2014 horror game running on mobile phones.

They also released another version of Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal on iOS and Android on November 30, 2023. As a huge fan of Hitman: Blood Money, which I would easily consider one of the best single-player games ever made, I snapped it up straight away and have been playing through it on my daily commute over the last few months.

I’ve been pretty impressed with a lot of the new features and the overall performance, though the game is undeniably a little harder to play as a result of the touch controls. They’re very well implemented, sure, but nothing quite beats the level of precision you can gain from using a traditional gamepad so I’m definitely looking forward to getting to grips with the Switch port.

Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal launches on January 25, 2024 and will be available for $29.99 / £19.99 via the Nintendo Switch eShop. Those who pre-order the game can take advantage of a 15% discount on this price.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
