This week brings an exciting mix of new releases across various genres. Whether you're into fast-paced action or strategic decision-making, there's something for everyone.
#### ** Serious Sam Siberian Mayhem**
Sirius Sam Stone is back once again in another bizarre standalone FPS adventure. This time, the setting shifts to Siberia, where you'll track down General Brandt, who seems to always stay one step ahead of you. Explore and fight as much as you want in a story-driven Russia filled with new foes and bosses. If shooting guns isn't your thing, you can even wield a crossbow to take down enemies. *Serious Sam Siberian Mayhem* is set to launch on **January 25th**, so mark your calendars!
#### **Knights Tactics: Isometric Turn-Based Strategy RPG**
If you're in the mood for something different, *Knights Tactics* offers a unique blend of visual novel elements and isometric turn-based strategy. Immerse yourself in a hand-drawn fantasy world where every decision can alter the story's outcome. Each character boasts unique skills and abilities, allowing you to build the best team possible to gain a tactical advantage. Customize your character's performance attributes, craft new items, and enhance their abilities for even more strategic depth. *Knights Tactics* is also releasing on **January 25th**, giving players the choice between shooting things or making crucial decisions.
#### **Not For Broadcast: Video Editing Sim**
Ever wanted to take on the roles of video producers Graham and I? Now you can in *Not For Broadcast*, where you'll need to edit out swearing, cut between multiple camera feeds, and decide whether to start a scandal or not. The game even features a big red sensor button that players are sure to love (or wish they had). *Not For Broadcast* is coming to Steam on **January 30th**, offering a fun and chaotic experience.

### **Major News: Microsoft Acquires Activision Blizzard**
This week brought some major news in the gaming world as Microsoft announced the acquisition of Activision Blizzard for a whopping $68.7 billion. This move solidifies Microsoft's position in the gaming industry, giving them access to a vast library of games and IPs. While this is a significant change, it also means that PlayStation owners can look forward to new exclusive titles in the coming years.

### **Humor and Fun Facts**
In light of Microsoft's massive acquisition, we couldn't resist sharing some fun facts about what $68.7 billion could buy:
- You could purchase over **16 billion pints** of beer in Glasgow, where a pint currently costs around £4.19.
- Alternatively, you could adopt over **a billion rescue cats**, with each adoption costing roughly £60.
It's hard to imagine having that many cats—or pints—but it's an interesting thought experiment!
