This past Wednesday, Red Candle Games, developer of horror titles such as Detention, announced that its previously delisted horror game Devotion would be returning to PC digital platforms via GOG. This announcement comes almost two years after the game’s release and subsequent removal from Steam. This was due to the inclusion of a meme depicting Chinese President Xi Jinping as Disney character Winnie the Pooh, which angered Chinese fans who review-bombed the title on Steam, and resulted in the game’s publisher, Indievent, having its business license revoked in China....

Unikrn, which has offices located in Seattle, Berlin, and Sydney, announced that Rocket League betting would be available in Australia in time for Season 3 of the Rocket League Championship Series, and that the website would also be offering odds on the World Championship in June. Psyonix, however, responded quickly, suggesting that the developer was not pleased with the fact that fans would soon be able to win or lose real money on its game....

As hip-hop continues to conquer the charts–last year’s best-selling artists were rappers Eminem and Nelly, and 2003 has already been dominated by newcomer 50 Cent–more videogame publishers are looking to give their titles extra flava by bringing the two worlds together. Sony Computer Entertainment America used hip-hop tracks from Run-DMC and Roxanne Shante for its recent music-remixing game, Amplitude. Rockstar Games’ just-released street-racing game, Midnight Club II, features underground hip-hop from artists like Tony Touch and Masta Ace....

RELATED: Soulslike Games Tier List The name comes from how these enemies “soak” up damage, just like how sponges soak up water. Although some games might have this mechanic be rather tedious, some games utilize this mechanic well and make these damage-sponge enemies still feel fun and powerful to fight. 8 Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Perhaps one of the few games to truly perfect the use of damage-sponge, and the parry mechanic is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice....

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRCdHSGjTGE Naughty Dog certainly has a funny notion of what is realistic, but it’s doubtful too many gamers will care so long as the action is fun. To be fair, the sequence aboard the plane is slightly more realistic than the flight sequence shown in the newest Saints Row 3 trailer. Still, Drake shows again that he must have the strongest hands in the known universe. What will be interesting to see is how Naughty Dog’s introduction of stereoscopic 3D to the Uncharted series will fare, especially with intense action sequences such as the one shown in the video....

During a G-20 summit, the EU announced it would pledge a support package worth 1 billion euros targeted at the Afghan population only and neighboring countries, which have been the first to provide aid. The United Nations has warned Afghanistan’s economy is on the brink of collapse, as international aid has been largely frozen following the Taliban’s takeover. G-20 members urged for Afghanistan’s new government to allow humanitarian aid into the country....

The letter was read aloud by the family’s attorney, Richard Stafford, during a press conference in New York on Thursday afternoon. Stafford told reporters that the family is “devastated” as the search for their daughter continues. “We ask you to put yourselves in our shoes,” the letter read. “We haven’t been able to sleep or eat and our lives are falling apart.” Petito, a 22-year-old YouTuber, was traveling the country with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, when she disappeared....

Lara Yeretsian, a Los Angeles-based criminal defense attorney, told Fox News that she believes it is only a matter of time before Brian Laundrie is questioned by police after he returned home to North Port, Florida, earlier this month without Petito and is refusing to talk to authorities. Petito and Laundrie had embarked on a cross-country trip in June which saw them visit several states in a van. Earlier this week, police in Moab, Utah, released bodycam footage of the couple from August 12 as an officer responded to an altercation between the pair....

The Frenchman will now face Tomas Berdych in the semifinals, who won his quarter-final against Milos Raonic after the Canadian had to retire due to a foot injury before even completing a set, with the Czech leading 5-2 at the time....

The new research presents the clearest evidence yet that the extreme environments in space have a detrimental effect on the gas content of galaxies within them, helping to curtail star formation.

Gallstones are formed when bile creates blockages in the digestive tract. This blockage causes intermittent pain in the upper right abdomen, under the rib cage.

Fallout was swift. After community leaders such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, Jr., and even genial Al Roker called for his dismissal, Imus apologized and promised to change the character of his show. MSNBC and CBS announced they would suspend him from his television and radio programs for two weeks. Major advertisers–Proctor and Gamble and Staples–began pulling ads from his show. Where this will all lead for Imus, 66, remains to be seen, but perhaps sifting through the tea leaves of past talk show host scandals can provide some clues: “shock jocks” Howard Stern and Bubba the Love Sponge Clem’s stations were each slapped with some of the largest fines in the Federal Communications Commission’s history for content “designed to pander to, titillate and shock listeners....
