PC gamers rejoice! Rockstar has confirmed that L.A. Noire is coming to PC this fall. Previously available only on the PS3 and Xbox 360, the hit detective game will get some enhancements for its computer debut including keyboard remapping and 3D support. This news comes on the heels of Rockstar revealing that it has sold 4 million copies of the game since its debut on May 17, 2011. An impressive feat for a brand new series.

L.A. Noire puts you in the role of a detective in the 1940s, paying homage to classic detective movies. The game has been critically acclaimed for its mix of open world and detective gameplay. Thanks to an advanced facial animation system, character facial animation is much quicker and more realistic than any game we’ve seen allowing you to actually read people and attempt to determine if they’re lying as you interview them. We gave L.A. Noire a 9 out of 10 when we reviewed it for the PlayStation 3.

We’re hoping that the game becomes available on PC platforms like Steam as well.

You’re going to hate the latest change to Windows 11

A laptop running Windows 11.

Just two weeks after rolling out a preview build to Windows Insiders, Microsoft is pushing out an update to Windows 11 that adds advertisements to the Start menu. Build KB5036980, which is now slowly rolling out to the wider Windows 11 user base, includes recommendations in the Start menu, and they sneakily sit beside your real apps.

These apps comes exclusively from the Microsoft store, and they sit in the Recommended section of the Start menu. This section includes recently used, frequent, and new apps, but one (or more) slots will now be dedicated to an ad. As the update reads: "The Recommended section of the Start menu will show some Microsoft Store apps. These apps come from a small set of curated developers. This will help you to discover some of the great apps that are available."
