Something I Ve Never Seen In Football Mikel Arteta Wowed By What Arsenal Fans Did During 4 2 Leicester City Win

Arteta pinpointed the fans’ support following William Saliba’s unfortunate own goal in the 53rd minute. According to the Spanish tactician, the supporters at the Emirates helped the team bounce back straightaway after conceding a goal. The Gunners scored just moments from Saliba’s own goal via Granit Xhaka. The support will definitely help Saliba during his initial games as an Arsenal player. Arteta has therefore thanked the fans for their incredible support throughout the game....

The set-up for South Park: The Stick of Truth seems fairly simple, like many of the best fantasy tales....

Star Wars 1313 Gameplay Trailer Is Our Only Hope

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nDWUL1z-bk It wasn’t Star Wars: Battlefront 3. It wasn’t a new X-Wing Alliance. It wasn’t even a new Jedi Knight or Rogue Squadron. What we did get from LucasArts at E3 2012 was a brand new IP within the Star Wars universe that unlike the last few games in the brand, aimed to offer an experience that can compete with the best the industry has to offer. That game is Star Wars 1313 and when myself and another Game Ranter sat down inside of a little mock-up space ship for the behind-closed-doors demo we were happily impressed, so much so that we nominated Star Wars 1313 in our E3 awards....

Starcraft 2 Patch 1.2.1. Goes Live Bugs Fixed

There’s no denying that the game could do just fine without constant updating and fixing, as it easily claimed our award for best multiplayer game of 2010.
