After musing over the prospect of Kinect integration during a developer-sanctioned, post-launch “Game Jam” (and after awesome community videos from groups like PC Games Kinected), Bethesda has finally announced that a free Kinect-support Skyrim update will be released on the Xbox 360 later this month - and weaponizing our voice boxes is high on the features list. Many gamers are quick to equate Kinect with the use of motion control - shooting up the Old West in The Gunstringer or throwing dirt on storied franchises in Kinect Star Wars....

The Winnipeg Jets captain took to Twitter on Saturday and issued two tweets in response to comments made by United States President Donald Trump at a rally in Alabama on Friday night, which criticized NFL players for kneeling during the American national anthem, suggesting owners of those players, whom he referred each individually as a “son of a ,” should fire them. Trump went on to say that players, who are enacting their First Amendment rights to free speech and peaceful protest, were ruining the game by disrespecting the anthem by kneeling....

New Delhi, April 29 (IANS) One significant thing which has come to the fore so far in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) edition is the drop in the scores posted by all the eight franchises. So far, the average scores posted by the teams lie between 150-160, which is quite less if one compares it to the previous years. Only in 10 matches out of the 47 played till Sunday, have the teams been able to go past the 200-mark this season, with the highest total being 232/2 posted by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)....

The striker has been terrorising defences consistently in recent seasons as one of the most prolific goalscorers in Europe. However, the 24-year-old came up against a resilient Chris Smalling in the semi-final of the FA Cup and was kept quiet throughout the 90 minutes as his side suffered a 2-1 defeat. Smalling impressed against his England team-mate, who failed to get a shot on target at Wembley Stadium. The centre-back’s victory of the battle was well noted on Twitter, and even the FA Cup’s official Twitter account got in on the fun....

Nintendo may not have even mentioned the upcoming handheld brawler, but some images were teased at the end of the latest Kid Icarus: Uprising trailer. Since Project Sora (which has maintained several key members of Smash’s original developer HAL) is the team behind previous Smash Bros. games — and more importantly the current developers of Kid Icarus: Uprising — it makes complete sense that the screenshots are that of Smash Bros....

The TikTok recounting the situation, captioned, “Sorry kids… There’s never actually food in the house as an adult too #teachersoftiktok #middleschool #iaskedmystudents,” has been viewed 1.8 million times and liked 308,100 times since it was shared on April 13.

Solanke was given his first Three Lions cap when he came off the bench to play the final 15 minutes in Tuesday’s 0-0 draw with Brazil, even though he has started just one of his 10 Liverpool appearances since joining from Chelsea in the summer. Liverpool 13/2 v Man City Klopp had no arguments over Solanke turning out for the senior England side and believes he is on his way to a good career for club and country....

Salah is enjoying a marvellous first campaign at Anfield, having arrived from Roma in pre-season in a deal which could reach €50 million. The Egyptian has made a huge impact, scoring 43 goals in all competitions, including 31 in the Premier League, equalling the division’s record for the biggest haul in a single 38-game season. He has also played a vital role in Liverpool’s surge to the Champions League semi-finals, before scoring a stunning brace in Tuesday’s 5-2 first-leg win against his previous side....

That may not be the case anymore, as Sony has just revealed the release date for Sorcery, and an interesting new game called Datura. First things first. Sorcery. Ever since its reveal the game has elusively evaded the eyes of gamers, until it finally resurfaced late last year. Sony can now confirm that the game will be available May 22nd, 2012 and it will also retain the visual changes that we previewed last year....

When Spec Ops: The Line was first unveiled three years ago, it promised a strong emphasis on narrative and mature storytelling - an aspect that was arguably missing from military shooters. After numerous delays, the game would later emerge from development hell, looking just as promising as ever. All that’s left now, is to find out if Yager Development was able to pull it off. Players would be forgiven for thinking Spec Ops: The Line is just another shooter....

Game Rant’s Andrew Dyce reviews SSX In this generation of gaming, so-called ‘reboots’ or spiritual successors and re-imaginings are certainly common, with a wide range of successes and failures. While large franchises and serialized shooters have improved upon an established formula one release at a time (to massive financial success), the once-beloved snowboarding genre has sadly been relegated to a supporting role. That’s all set to change with the release of SSX, one of if not the most revered names in snowboarding gaming to date....

The Uruguayan frontman played a prominent role for Barca in one of the most astonishing comebacks in football history. Five teenage stars to watch at Barca Trailing 4-0 from the first leg of their last-16 encounter, Luis Enrique’s side stormed back at Camp Nou to prevail 6-1 on the night and 6-5 on aggregate. Suarez opened the scoring and won a late penalty in that contest, although his theatrics inside the box have drawn criticism from Manchester United legend Cantona....

In a shock turn of events, season two ended with Kendall (Jeremy Strong) making a U-turn on his decision to take the fall for the family business’ sexual harassment scandal, in turn betraying his father Logan (Brian Cox). The show’s costumer Midge Denton has now revealed the cast and crew are off to film in Italy. On Sunday, Denton shared a photograph at John F. Kennedy International Airport, with the caption: “Off to Italy for Succession Season 3!...

Coinciding with the DLC’s launch - the second featured offering after this summer’s Dawnguard expansion - the developer released a brand new sliver of screenshots modeling the ways a player might construct his/her residence. It turns out domesticated Dovahkiin know their way around a floor plan quite well. Hearthfire releases at a bittersweet time in Skyrim’s post-launch life. Xbox 360 and PC owners are plenty ready for more content after foraging through the enjoyable Dawnguard expansion....

Depp sued Heard for $50 million for defaming him in an op-ed she wrote in 2018 when the actress claimed she was a victim of domestic abuse, and after six weeks of testimony, the jury ruled in favor of Depp on June 1, awarding him $15 million in damages. Heard played Mera in the DC Entertainment film Aquaman in 2018 alongside Jason Momoa, and her role in the upcoming sequel has been widely disputed because of the trial....

Even without Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus, the champions-elect ran rampant at the Etihad Stadium in the first half of the Manchester derby. Smalling was at fault as Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gundogan scored in quick succession, leaving United with a mountain to climb if they hoped to ruin City’s title celebrations. The centre-back in particular was caught out in City’s opener, losing track of Kompany and allowing the veteran to open the scoring....

In case you didn’t know… Manchester United endured an abysmal first half of the current campaign under Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese boss was sacked in December due to continuous poor results, and he was also criticised for playing ultra defensive football. The fact that Mourinho did not have good relationships with senior figures in the dressing room added to his woes. But under the tutelage of interim boss Ole Gunnr Solskjaer, United have been rejuvenated, with most of their senior star players back in form....

The Toffees appeared to be heading for their first group stage win of the campaign after goals from Wayne Rooney and Nikola Vlasic had cancelled out Adrian Sardinero’s opener, but they were denied by a late Hector Yuste header. Everton 28/1 to win Europa League Everton looked sluggish and uninspired throughout, and Koeman is well aware of the task he faces to instill some confidence in his downtrodden side – starting against Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday....

Knuckles the Echidna is one of the main core Sonic cast who plays a big role in Sonic Frontiers. After Amy, he’s the second friend of Sonic’s that gets saved, which is a blessing for fans of his character after the prequel short, Prologue: Divergence, made the story of how he got captured rather tragic. It’s easy for fans to adore Knuckles, as he was always the kind-hearted yet gullible stoic guardian of the Master Emerald, but some recent portrayals haven’t been kind to him....

The South Park game (recently re-titled South Park: The Stick of Truth) was expected to have a late 2012 release, so it isn’t surprising that THQ let the news of a delay roll out quietly in a fiscal report. The game is a proper RPG, where players can choose from playable classes such as Fighter, Magic, Cleric, Thief and Jew (yes, you read that right). Players will play the role of a new kid in town, earning acceptance by joining in on a roleplaying game which quickly turns into a real adventure, where you’ll no doubt run into many characters from the show....
