When reading about Darkspore, there’s one thing you really have to know: in terms of gameplay, Darkspore is not related to Spore. Not in any way, shape or form. Think of them as mutual acquaintances — business partners, perhaps. They went to college together, had a few laughs, and then, one drunken night, Spore told Darkspore all its dirty secrets: the answers to Life, the Universe and Everything. Darkspore wasn’t really interested in the majority of what Spore had to say — there were a few cool ideas, but none that really stuck....

The new record showcases an eclectic mix of music genres including L.A. metal, disco, bossa nova and reggae, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reports. The latest album “features the process of changes a person’s relationship with another person weaves,” Young K, the band’s main songwriter, said at a press unveiling of the album, according to Yonhap. The album’s first six tracks are said to cover the positive side of this process while the rest focus on the more “chilling” feelings “The process is sometime heartwarming, but other times, it’s chilling,” Young K said at the event....

Those are fighting words, but Techland can back them up: Dying Light went on to become the studio’s best-selling title, and emerged as a surprise hit this past winter. That puts a lot of pressure on Yager Development, who signed on to develop Dead Island 2 after Techland’s departure. Not that Yager’s a bad developer - the company made Spec Ops: The Line, which is considered one of the most narratively sophisticated shooters of all time - but with Dead Island’s creators publically throwing shade at the sequel, it’s going to be hard to regain players’ trust....

While the first game found the right balance of action and horror, can the second game repeat its success? With much larger aspirations, does Dead Space 2 leave gamers scared to turn every corner in a good way, or in a bad way? Read on to find out. Picking up three years after the events of the first Dead Space, Isaac Clarke, now with both a voice and a personality, is overwrought with a ton of emotion....

Developer Visceral Games made a huge splash with their first entry in the now very popular survival horror franchise. So, with talk of a trilogy-ender in their future, they could have easily phoned it in, and let Dead Space 3 cruise control its way to the finish line. For better or worse, they have not done that here. There are several new additions to the franchise for Dead Space 3, namely the introduction of co-op play and a new weapon crafting system, which turns this third entry into somewhat of a loot fest....

The highly rated 21-year-old is eligible for both Spain and France, with both nations said to be eager for Lucas to declare for them. Although he – like younger brother and Real Madrid left-back Theo Hernandez – was born in Marseille, Lucas has spent much of his life in Spain, initially joining the youth ranks of Rayo Majadahonda in 2005 before moving to Atletico two years later. Lucas has represented France in most youth categories, including the Under-21s, though there has still been speculation as to whether or not he will pledge his senior international future to the country of his birth....

A Stephan El Shaarawy double and Diego Perotti’s strike saw the Italians streak to a 3-0 victory at the Stadio Olimpico, putting them in pole position in Group C after four games. Conte had set out an adventurous line-up in Rome, and Gerrard was not amused by Chelsea’s defensive horror show. “I think Conte disrespected Roma today,” the former Liverpool man told BT Sport. “He showed Atletico Madrid fantastic respect by going with Hazard behind Morata and a lot of bodies behind the ball to pack the midfield....

“It’s a shame. I wouldn’t have blamed Barbara if she had bailed out,” Downs recalled over lunch this week at New York’s Four Seasons hotel.After 21 years in the seat beside Walters and six decades as a broadcast personality, Downs left ABC in 1999, having become disenchanted with television news. At age 78 then, he didn’t retire to his home in Arizona. He landed instead landed in a somewhat unlikely place-cyberspace....

Newsweek: So how are you feeling? Pitt: Excellent. Tucked away. Hanging off the edge of the Third World. You want some agua minerale? You know Spanish? A little bit. How about you? SI. Should we do this in Spanish? No, that’s all I know: sI. English it is. First question. You play a mountain climber. How scary is climbing? Good one! Scary, but it’s such a trip. We did a lot of little climbs outside L....

While the launch version of the game contained more than a few bugs, Valve was able to quickly deliver patches to bring what is now a very smooth experience to both PC and console gamers. Global Offensive offers an updated graphics engine to the Counter-Strike series, attempting to attract a new generation of gamers with a more accessible title for both console and computers - and the fact that it was designed for both during production has its own pros and cons....

I don’t think I have always been this open about sex. When my generation were children, in the 1970s, it was usually approached in a very basic way. Typically, sex was addressed through books, or it was referred to through “the birds and the bees.” I believe things have changed since then. Sex is something I think we need to be knowledgeable about. I want people to look at sex in it’s beauty....

Dallas police chief David Brown and mayor Mike Rawlings were also in attendance. MORE: Which new NFL coach has the toughest job? The idea to invite the families was inspired by Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, who once met Patrick Zamarripa, one of the fallen officers, according to the Dallas Morning News. Cowboys players and coaches, as well as police officers, escorted the family members onto the field, where everyone formed a circle around Rawlings and Brown....

New Zealand’s key players, including skipper Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Kyle Jamieson and Lockie Ferguson, won’t be part of the white-ball tours of Pakistan and Bangladesh. All of them have IPL commitments and will turn out for their respective franchises when the T20 league begins on September 19. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Butt said that while cricketers should ideally give preference to playing for the country over T20 leagues, that is obviously not the case....

In recent years this has played out largely as a contest between “global warming” and “climate change.” Bush’s use of the latter was consistent with Republican practice, which calls for de-emphasizing the urgency of the situation, as recommended in a 2002 memo by strategist Frank Luntz. Unlike the “catastrophic” connotations of global warming, Luntz wrote, “climate change sounds a more controllable and less emotional challenge.” So should activists favor “global warming”?...

There’s been some sizable gaps between seasons but Curb Your Enthusiasm has now been on the air for over 20 years.

Speaking at the post-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White called Ferguson a “special human being” for being able to withstand such an unbelievable amount of punishment at the hands of Gaethje and still walk him down. Grueling weight cuts took a toll on Ferguson, believes White However, White also noticed that Ferguson wasn’t being his usual self inside the Octagon and feels it might have something to do with the grueling weight cut he went through to make weight for the interim title fight....

When the divisive Role-Playing Game (RPG) launched back in 2020, it was embroiled in several controversies. The title was lambasted for incorporating mechanics that could trigger epileptic seizures, for lacking certain expected features and for being plagued with technical issues. Some even found that it was borderline unplayable on a base PS4, thanks to all the frequent crashes. The situation became so dire that Sony eventually took the unprecedent step of recalling the game from its digital PlayStation Storefront, while the likes of Xbox and GameStop both started issuing refunds to dissatisfied customers....

“Based on reports obtained from digital distribution platforms and data collected from physical distributors, [CDPR] estimates that by December 20 inclusive gamers have purchased over 13 million copies of Cyberpunk 2077,” the brief announcement reads.

This number tracks well against the estimated 8 million pre-orders for Cyberpunk 2077 just as the launch period began....
