With that said, it’s Nintendo’s inexperience with online multiplayer that causes the overall title to suffer, but Splatoon’s quirkiness, charm, and quality gameplay still make it a very fun game that’s worth checking out. Starting off as a creature called an Inkling, players are immediately cast into the world of Splatoon through the game’s central plaza, which acts as a miniature hub world in lieu of a standard menu. In this area, players can customize their in-game character with all kinds of attire and weapons, access the game’s online and local 1-on-1 multiplayer, or jump tentacles first into the game’s campaign....

Man City win to nil v Leicester 11/8 He has faced criticism at times for over-playing, with a desire to play out of the back getting him into trouble at times. Stones has, however, continued on his upward curve in 2017-18 as part of an in-form City team and Lescott believes that the talented centre-half now boasts all of the attributes required to sit alongside the likes of team-mate Vincent Kompany and the finest performers on the planet....

The “Stop Trump from Firing Dr. Fauci” petition reached more than 322,000 signatures by Thursday afternoon, about two weeks after it launched on Change.org.

Despite some of the graphical issues that effected the Xbox 360 Skyrim version shortly after release, nothing prepared PS3 gamers for the unrelenting drop in frame rate as the file size of their save continued to grow. Patch 1.2 was supposed to fix the issue (among other fixes), but broke many others, including magical resistances. PS3 users still were not seeing any improvement. Patch 1.3 addressed it to a certain degree, though the issue was not fixed in its entirety, with save game files approaching 9-10 megabytes still becoming nearly unplayable....

That’s one of the most amazing things about this new Splinter Cell. Even though there are cut scenes where some cool stuff happens, it’s the created choreography of you perfectly set up death trap that gives this game that “Holy Crap!” factor. There have been many moments where I’ve said aloud “Sweet zombie Jesus! Did I just pull that off?” And as many options as you may have had in the single player campaign, the artful ways you and a friend can deal out death in any of the co-op modes is incredible....
