Microsoft’s Crackdown 3 announcement comes off the back of a leak on Wednesday claiming that the game had once again been delayed. It seems like Microsoft was hoping to reveal the news during E3, but the leak has forced the company to put out an official statement. Speaking to Windows Central, a Microsoft representative said the following: As Microsoft explains, the cited reason for the delay once again appears to be ensuring the game gets the development time it needs....

For those wondering how to collect Crash Bandicoot 4 tapes, what they need to do is reach the tapes in the level without dying once. If players do die before they reach the tape, it will be transparent and can’t be picked up. If this happens, Crash Bandicoot 4 players are better off backing out to the world map and trying again so that they can get the tape and unlock more content in the game....

While the name seems to indicate otherwise, Crash Bandicoot 4 is the eighth installment of the series. It will release October 2, 2020, but a demo will be available next week. Unfortunately, there’s a catch. For now, the demo is only available to those who pre-order the title digitally, which makes it more of a bonus than a way for potential buyers to try out the game before committing to a purchase....

Super Smash Bros. has always had large number of characters from different games, but the latest installment certainly boasts the biggest character select screen to date, with 86 playable characters heralding from a multitude of titles and platforms. Crash has been a notable omission from the roster for some time now, with fans hopeful that the marsupial would join the Smash line-up even back in the days of Super Smash Bros....

A cut tire caused Edwards’ Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota to smack a wall on Friday. Because of the damage, his No. 19 team had no choice but to go to its other car. As a result, Edwards will start from the rear of the field in Sunday’s Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Creative Assembly is looking for a multiplayer/gameplay programmer who’s duties will be to work on “a AAA multi-platform title on current and future generation consoles set in the Alien universe.” There’s no beating around the bush there. Sega’s been very tight-lipped on Creative Assembly’s title – aside from the fact that it’s an Alien game, virtually nothing else is known about it. Sega’s already published Alien VS Predator this generation, and with Colonial Marines launching in the Fall, there will be enough Alien first-person shooters....

The move is the second action Google, which owns Youtube, has taken against Russia amid the country’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The first ad sales decision came a day after Russia’s media regulator, Roskomnadzor, demanded Google to block ads on YouTube that contained what it called “false political information” about Ukraine. “We’ve recently paused all Google and YouTube ads in Russia,” a YouTube spokesperson told Newsweek. “As a follow-up, we’re now extending this pause to all our monetization features, including YouTube Premium, Channel Memberships, Super Chat, and Merchandise, for viewers in Russia....

There, in the middle of Ohio State parading itself through the College Football Playoff Media Day, and a little more than 1,000 miles north, was Michigan’s introductory press conference to announce new coach Jim Harbaugh. The moment in Ann Arbor was so big, that Press Conference Up North was so significant, it sucked the very life from the Media Day.

The Columbus Crew rewarded the raucous crowd that came out to cheer them on — and to protest the rumored move of the team to Austin, Texas — by putting on a clinic against a 10-man NYCFC team that was ultimately punished for wasted chances early, and a poorly-placed elbow that earned Alexander Callens a red card and helped doom NYCFC to a 4-1 beatdown it is unlikely to recover from....

Hashim Amla hailed South Africa’s rising stars after a team missing injured strike bowlers Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel returned to winning ways at the Champions Trophy. Man-of-the-match Amla laid the foundation for a 67-run victory over Pakistan in a day/night clash at Edgbaston on Monday. The opener’s typically stylish 81 off 97 balls was the centrepiece of South Africa’s 234 for nine made after skipper AB de Villiers won the toss....

True, the enjoyment of any sport goes much beyond the realms of commentary, but for millions who enjoy watching the game on their TV sets, commentary definitely adds a different colour to their overall viewing experience. These are people who are in the background and help us understand the subtle nuances and thrills of our favourite game. They hardly get much recognition for their profession, but if we were to observe closely, we will understand the significant part they play in the development of any sport....

The pacemen often have to sacrifice speed, and the slow bowlers are unable to experiment much with their flight and variations. The short ball above shoulder height was totally outlawed in this form of the game till recently, taking away a genuine weapon from a fast bowler and making ordinary batsmen look like titans. To complete the picture, wickets are for the most part flat. The players who flourish the most in the limited-overs game are top-order batsmen and all-rounders, including batsmen who bowl a bit....

But there aren’t so many examples of truly great pairs of opening batsmen. Sir Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe made for perhaps the greatest. Then there were Bobby Simpson and Bill Lawry. Geoff Boycott and John Edrich was a fine pair, as were Justin Langer and Matthew Hayden later. They have all, of course, been Test match opening batsmen. In modern one-day cricket we have had the Sachin Tendulkar-Sourav Ganguly, Tendulkar-Virender Sehwag, Mark Waugh-Adam Gilchrist and Gilchrist-Hayden combinations....

The indictment last week of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick on charges of running a dogfighting operation at a house he owned in Virginia shines a light on a disturbing phenomenon that law-enforcement officials say is flourishing across the country. Though dogfighting is a felony in all but two states (Idaho and Wyoming), at least 40,000 Americans are actively involved in the industry, not including spectators, according to Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States....

According to the official description of the character, Ghai’s incarnation of Safiyah will share her DC Comics counterpart’s title as the ruler of a small community on the island of Coryana. While Safiyah may have as many enemies as aliases, she is a charismatic and compassionate leader who is beloved by the people whom she will stop at nothing to protect. As a woman with both physical and psychological expertise, nobody slips by Safiyah unnoticed, especially if they have come across the Desert Rose....

“If Ukraine can challenge the Black Sea Fleet (and it appears they can) then taking back Crimea is very much in the cards. Total victory possible,” wrote security expert Paul Massaro on Twitter. “The historic performance of the Ukrainian military vs. the dismal showing by the Russians is really something to behold,” Massaro—the senior policy advisor for counter-corruption and sanctions at the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe— added in a later tweet....

The Portugal captain, was linked last year with a move to the Parc des Princes, before signing a new contract. And was also linked with a return to Manchester United, only last summer, but the forward stayed on and is having yet another splendid season. In an interview with Telefoot, Cristiano said “PSG will be a contender to win the Champions League.” he also added “They’re a strong team and will be hard to beat....

The Manchester United forward has travelled with Georgina and his five kids to an undisclosed destination to spend some quality time together. While Ronaldo and Georgina are both very active on social media, they rarely share a pic of Bella Esmeralda, who will be two months old this week. As per Georgina’s post, which included six pictures from their private jet, Bella Esmeralda is seen in four pictures, closely embraced by her mother....

Playing against French giants PSG and long-time rival Lionel Messi, Ronaldo featured heavily for an All-Stars team consisting of players from both Al Nassr and Al Hilal. Despite not playing since Portugal’s World Cup exit late last year, the 37-year-old showed little rust in an exhibition match that lived up to the hype. While his makeshift team fell short in a whirlwind 5-4 defeat, Ronaldo did his bit to give his side a fighting chance and showed why his stint in Saudi Arabia will be well worth keeping an eye on....
