Like the Colonial Marines of the 1986 Aliens film, nothing about Aliens: Fireteam Elite is delicate or quiet. It’s not hiding in ventilation shafts trying to silently breathe while a xenomorph stomps by, but kicking down doors and letting loose a barrage of fire from an array of weapons that …

If you’re struggling to find the best RTX 3070 price for the card itself to upgrade your old rig, the prospect of getting a pre-built RTX 3070 PC that already comes complete with such a GPU is certainly tempting. Acer’s hardware refresh of the Predator Orion 3000 is one such …
