Missy Franklin was our star four years ago, too. She and Douglas were the American teenagers who stole the show in London, their talent awing us en route to gold medals all over the place. The 21-year-old swimmer has been even more disappointing in Rio de Janeiro, not even qualifying for the finals of the 200-meter backstroke event in which she still holds the world record.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Newell may have hinted at exactly what is taking so long while talking about Valve’s process of work. What Newell is suggesting here is that they are trying to chase the demands and pre-empt where the consumer is going, in a broader sense. Valve, at least for the moment, appears to be more focused on the business side of what they are doing, instead of straight up game development....

On an already revealing podcast appearance, Gabe Newell did not answer any questions about the long development time of Half-Life 3/Episode 3, but he was forced to face the music concerning a sequel to one of the less praised Valve titles - Ricochet (only not really). In a clever attempt to avoid asking Newell directly about quite possibly the most requested sequel in the video game world, the hosts of SevenDayCooldown replaced any mention of Half-Life 3 with Ricochet 2....

While Valve has covered a ton of different game genre’s throughout the years, Gabe Newell says one of his inspirations is Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and his oeuvre of work. In a conversation about whether he still enjoyed playing games, the Valve founder said he found Miyamoto’s were not only fun, but have helped make him a better developer over the years.

The Hammers recently turned down a £14 million fee for the Ghana international to return to Swansea City, as they are holding out for more. However, Turkish giants Galatasaray have been in talks with West Ham and are ready to have the 28-year-old on loan till the end of the season, with an option to make the deal permanent, according to French outlet L’Equipe. Ayew’s current contract with the London Stadium outfit runs out in 2019 which means he would be in the final year with the London side when he returns from the loan spell in Turkey....

Developer Sean Vanaman of Campo Santo Games addressed the controversy on Twitter, offering stinging criticism of PewDiePie: In subsequent posts, Vanaman said that he would be reaching out to other, larger developers to encourage them to cut ties with PewDiePie as well. Furthermore, he acknowledged that it’s possible that his company made money because of PewDiePie’s coverage of Firewatch, and that would be “something for [Campo Santo] to think about....

This series is set to focus on the Targaryens, which is a departure from Game of Thrones. The original show, and book series that inspired it, focused mainly on the Stark family from Winterfell.

Now I know what your thinking: what a weird way to begin this article, but in a sense this is the best way to describe just what hip hop is. Well, the best way to describe a hip hop song at least. Hip hop is a culture built on 5 pillars: DJ’ing, Rapping, Graffiti, Breaking, and beatboxing. DJ Hero encapsulates one of these pillars and does an awesome job of making you feel like a DJ without piling on the intricacies of “turn-tablism....

The first thing I noticed was that they brought the menu system back up to speed! In FIFA 10, they somehow managed to mutilate the menu into a slow beast that you could almost hear groaning when you wanted to access a submenu. This time, it came up quickly, and happily hummed along to the game’s theme song, “Wavin’ Flag” by K’naan - which is cheesily appropriate for the occasion....

However, on the advice of my then-girlfriend (now wife), I went right out and blew most of it on a Sega Genesis 2 system, bundled with Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I’m old enough to have played the 2600 in its prime during my youth, and video games had been a big part of my childhood – at least, as big a part as they could be during the late 70s and early 80s....

The following games are varied in genre (RPGs, visual novels, dating simulators), but they all have two things in common: in-depth lore and a thoroughly engaging story. Book lovers of all kinds will be able to find something here to enjoy. 6 Disco Elysium It seems fitting to start this list with a game containing over a million words.

One such game is The Falconeer, a recent PC and Xbox Series X/S exclusive developed by Tomas Sala, a particularly impressive feat considering the quality and art direction of the game compared to most other titles made by a single developer, which are usually some form of pixel art or other easier to work with art style. 10 The Falconeer While Tomas Sala’s first attempt at a video game, Oberon’s Court, was released to fairly little fanfare despite its good reviews, their second attempt at a full title, The Falconeer, has received a much larger following....

GameStop’s quarterly report saw an increase in overall hardware sales thanks to the Nintendo Switch, which is the first time the company has improved in that particular area in five quarters. This signals a strong start for the system as it continues to sell, and this had GameStop CFO Rob Lloyd singing his praise for the performance of the platform out of the gate. Not content with that statement alone, GameStop’s company chief, Tony Bartel, pushed the significance of these numbers further....

It’s possible that the latest GameStop PS5 bundles will mirror what previous bundles have offered, but it’s also possible that customers will have different options available to them.

GameStop didn’t comment further on the matter, except to reveal to investors that new hardware is associated with increased sales for the company. However, based on the recent rumors, one could make a few educated guesses as to what new consoles Bartel was alluding to in his presentation. The most obvious one is the Nintendo NX. We know that the Nintendo NX is being produced, and we also know that Nintendo will reveal the first details about the system sometime this year....
