It’s not easy to find massive amounts of success in the MMO space these days, with the existing juggernauts like World of Warcraft dominating the market. The Old Republic has got to make the most out of the Star Wars name if they want to differentiate themselves from their competition, and the story we’ve seen so far looks to do just that. The gameplay of an MMO has become a foregone conclusion, and our experience with TOR at E3 showed that it’s more than competent where the actual mechanics are concerned....

Seemingly out of nowhere it was revealed that LucasArts was working on a new game based in the Star Wars universe, but beyond that details were slim. Some figured it might be the long awaited next entry in the Star Wars Battlefront franchise while others were hoping it would be an entirely new IP. Turns out it was a little bit of both. Star Wars 1313, if previous rumors are to be believed, will be a game focused around the bounty hunter Boba Fett....

You can watch the video below: Dhoni’s ardent fans were extremely disheartened after his announcement but were relieved after learning that he will continue playing in the IPL. On the first anniversary of MS Dhoni’s international cricket retirement, cricket fans took to Twitter to recollect the memories of iconic moments of his international career.

Jeff Morefield, of Edmond, Oklahoma, returned to the U.S. from deployment as a National Guard member in the Middle East to find businesses in his local area closed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking with KOHK Fox 25, Morefield said: “What I was seeing when I came back was not how it was when I left. When I came home the exact same movie poster that I saw the movie of before I left, when I came back was still on the wall....

In this week’s episode, Nicole fell short of being the Head of Household (HoH). This was a big loss for her, especially considering that her alliance member Ameerah had just left the show. Left with no bargaining power, and with Monte being the HoH, Nicole was on thin ice. However, most fans were delighted at the prospect of her being eliminated from the competition. One tweeted: Season 24 of Big Brother has been receiving favorable reviews, even though it was initially criticized for showing fan favorite contestant Taylor Hale in a poor light....

Scientists think that supermassive black holes tend to sit at the center of every massive galaxy. These monstrous objects (that have such powerful gravitational fields that light cannot escape from them) grow because they take in gas and other material that falls through the galaxy and into the center. Sometimes, however, these black holes end up being offset from the center of galaxies if one galaxy merges with another....

Episode 4, titled “Lion in The Meadow,” kicks off with Kendall claiming he “manifested” the raid. For now, it looks like Shiv’s (Sarah Snook) scathing letter to the press about Kendall’s mental state has backfired, having very little impact on him, his ego, and the power he holds. However, there is also the very apparent risk that cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun) could switch sides. He is no longer “Greg the Egg” in Kendall’s eyes, he’s the newly reformed “G,” and happens to be a pawn in a big old game, with both Kendall holding on to his loyalty and Logan attempting to earn it....

Many people said he should go to the doctor about it after seeing the viral post on Reddit, where he said: “I unknowingly unhinged my jaw in front of a coworker while eating food, now she barely talks or even looks at me after seeing it.” In the post, shared under the username Noir_A_Mous, which had received 9,123 upvotes and 936 comments at the time of writing, the man said his body is “kinda weird,” claiming that he has several “double jointed” body parts, including his jaw....

From Camila Cabello’s team, Morgan Myles and Devix received the highest number of votes and advanced to the Top 13. The Voice coach then proceeded to save Eric from elimination, with Kate performing in the wildcard. For her wildcard performance, Kate sang When I Look at You by Miley Cyrus. After her performance, coach Camila Cabello gushed: She added that Kate’s performance was magical and urged America to vote for Kate to advance to the Top 13....

Shared by Reddit user u/vladgrinch on Monday, the post, titled “the pawfect snooze spot doesn’t exis…” has managed to rack up 65,100 upvotes. The post, shared in the “r/aww” page, showed a photo of a dachshund lying still on its front on the floor of a home as the window let in a small opening of sunshine. It didn’t take long for people to share their opinions about the pooch’s perfect chillout spot and some shared their own dogs’ experiences when in a similar situation....

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a sequel to the 2020 live-action film based on the popular Japanese video game franchise. The first Sonic game came out in the early ’90s and spawned dozens of sequels across multiple platforms. The games typically focus on the eponymous anthropomorphic blue hedgehog who can run at supersonic speeds and is constantly battling the evil Dr. Eggman. The film adaptation featured Ben Schwartz as Sonic and comedic actor Jim Carrey as the villain Dr....

Sometimes the new faces make fans happy, sometimes they don’t. Soul Calibur V is no exception to this rule, as they’ve promised that the roster will be a mix of both old and new characters - with the older characters enjoying noticeable changes due to a 17-year timegap. Now, a new trailer has been released that shows off a few more characters that we can expect to see once the game releases....

I was fortunate enough to be given some hands-on time with the new game during E3 2014 (be sure to check out our preview of Splatoon), but Nintendo also gave Game Rant the opportunity to interview project lead Tsubasa Sakaguchi and producer/manager Hisashi Nogami. We learned a lot about the game that was previously unknown, but one major revelation was that Splatoon — a game believed to be so heavily focused on the Wii U GamePad — will feature local multiplayer and a single player mode of sorts....

In each Splatfest in Splatoon 3, players choose from one of three teams, each represented by one member of the in-game band Deep Cut, that they will play for in the game’s signature Turf War battles. Each Splatfest is themed around a certain topic with the current one being food-themed and having players choose Team Spicy represented by Shiver, Team Sweet headed by Frye, or Team Sour led by Big Man....

At long last, though, the first reveal trailer debuted, featuring in-game visuals, and the grand scale of combat that only a Battlefield game has been capable of producing. One one hand, that’s exactly what players want from the highly anticipated title, but on the other, how about something new? Something that doesn’t feel like another modern day military, multiplayer shooter? Questions such as these were once aimed at Battlefield Hardline prior to its launch, but now that its come and gone, it’d only reasonable to have these same concerns with Battlefront....

500,000 subscribers is a pretty low number when compared to the juggernaut amount of users who play World of Warcraft, but the upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic only needs a drop in the bucket in comparison to turn a profit. In a conference call, EA CEO John Riccitiello stated that only 500,000 users would be enough for the title to become profitable. His statement follows: The figure is also a good indicator of the actual subscriber costs The Old Republic would be charging....

The details provided so far for Patch 1.2 give a sense of how many issues, large and small, will be addressed and more importantly, what they have in mind for the long term of The Old Republic. The easiest criticism that can be leveled at BioWare is that TOR took more than a few gameplay choices and systems from existing MMOs, but it’s already clear that the development team isn’t looking to distinguish themselves on gameplay alone....

With the first trailer finally out in the wild and the first details emerging over social media, talk has turned to potential DLC plans for the game. Since DICE announced that the first pack, Battle of Jakku, would be free a few weeks after the launch of Star Wars Battlefront, fans have begun to wonder if DICE is holding anything else back prior to release. Taking to Reddit, DICE producer Jesper Nielsen, didn’t hold back from answering fan questions, revealing as much about the game as he could....

As the public beta gets underway, players can look forward to Starhawk’s official release date, which has been announced as May 8, 2012. Unlike many public betas, the Starhawk public beta is a, “real world ‘in the wild’ test of the core game systems and gameplay,” according to a post on the PlayStation Blog. Those expecting a full-on demo need not apply. As mentioned in Game Rant’s E3 2011 Starhawk preview, Starhawk players will need to rely on their intuition and in-game tools to accomplish a mission....
