While the gaming industry loves to criticize and poke fun at the yearly FIFA releases, there’s no denying that it’s one of the biggest entertainment franchises out there, bringing in tons of money and fans every single year from sales and FIFA Ultimate Team microtransactions. Over the last few decades, EA has built FIFA from the ground-up to be the most popular soccer game on the market, but starting next year, EA is dropping the FIFA branding, which could be a big mistake....

When originally released in arcades everywhere in 1997, NFL Blitz became a smashing success, an arcade-style football game that was decidedly different (read: fast, fun, loud) from the traditional football games of the time (John Madden, Joe Montana, etc). Ported to the N64 in 1998, the game became a mainstay in dorm rooms/bedrooms/rec-rooms everywhere, undoubtedly blistering many a finger while causing angst at the AI “cheating to keep the score close....

Video game giant EA Sports got “in the game” Tuesday, firing a digital burn toward Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who told a Dallas radio station he believed former star and now-backup quarterback Tony Romo still has a big future in the NFL. “I really believe that Tony Romo will play in a Super Bowl,” Jones said, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “Now try that one on. I know that if he’s healthy enough, he’ll be in a Super Bowl....

The Howard-Nash combination didn’t work in LA. Howard signed with Houston that offseason, and since then he’s played for the Hawks, Hornets and Wizards. Howard is back with the Lakers in 2020, though, as a bench piece on a team led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis that has reached the NBA Finals. The NBA’s active leader in rebounds and blocks has found his niche. After a few years where it looked like the final stages of Howard’s career would be filled with disappointment, his return to the Lakers has left the potential for a strong ending to his last chapter....

Dybala suffered a thigh injury in Juve’s final game before the international break – a 1-0 win at Sampdoria – but still joined up with Argentina’s squad. He did not feature for Edgardo Bauza’s national team and was an unused substitute despite Lionel Messi’s suspension for the 2-0 loss in Bolivia. The 23-year-old, a reported close-season transfer target for Barcelona, is still not up to speed after returning to Turin and only trained for part of Friday’s session alongside his team-mates....

That’s because Hill is facing what’s called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Hill has been told the inoperable brain condition means she won’t make it past December. But the passionate basketball player is hoping she can take the court for the program she committed to on her 18th birthday, Mount Saint Joseph’s, one last time. In a stroke of good news, the NCAA is going to allow it to happen....

Historians are likely to judge that Diana’s reign–and reign she did–owed its brilliance to the tranquillity of the times. With no global wars or cataclysm, no Hitlers or Churchills to dominate the public realm, we could turn our full attention to diversions of gossip and fantasy. We now routinely view image and spectacle as large with meaning, with old-fashioned substance suddenly the boring trifle. The irony is that with the end of her short life, Diana may well achieve a political goal more substantial than that of all but a few politicians....

RELATED: Ranking Every Rockstar Open-World Game Based On How Large They Are Yet there’s a lot that hasn’t been revealed, and certain things the developers have only teased or hinted about. Here’s a look at everything we know about this zombie-based parkour game, and some intriguing possibilities for one of the most anticipated games of 2020. 10 We Know: Spring 2020 It has been confirmed the game is coming out in spring of this year....

In a statement on Twitter, Techland thanked the community for its continued support of Dying Light 2 but had little in the way of other updates on the project. “We were initially aiming for a Spring 2020 release with Dying Light 2, but unfortunately we need more development time to fulfill our vision,” Techland wrote, “We will have more to share in the coming months, and will get back to you as soon as we have more information....

While the long-term plans for Dying Light 2 DLC are still a tad murky, the fact that Techland is already pushing out armor sets just a few weeks after the game’s launch should be a good sign of what’s to come. Specifically, this particular piece of downloadable content is part 2 out of 3 that make up the Authority Pack DLC itself, and it should complete the Peacekeeper look well enough....

Physical and Occupational Therapy Seeing a physical or occupational therapist can help people with dystonia learn to work around their disorder, although it doesn’t directly treat the problem. Many people with dystonia also find that they are able to relieve their symptoms temporarily by touching part of their body in some way. This is known as geste antagoniste and is one of the more mysterious aspects of dystonia. Oral Medications Unfortunately, few medications are completely effective for the treatment of dystonia....

The game starts off in a similar fashion to the original, as Luigi is tasked with heading into a haunted mansion and sucking up money and ghosts with his handy dandy Poltergust 3000, but it’s not nearly as easy as it all sounds. Ghosts can’t just be sucked up when they are found, they must first be stunned with Luigi’s flashlight. After a ghost has been stunned, the player has to hold down the right trigger button to begin sucking up the ghosts....

The third time around, Team Ninja wants you to know that Ryu Hayabusa is a man with a history. Ninja Gaiden 3 will guide you through this story as you attempt to figure out the “conflict of a masked man whose motives and goals are unclear.” The controls of the game are extremely easy to pick-up on, with individual buttons for quick and powerful attacks. Ryu now has an evasive slide move to add to his arsenal, which effectively replaces any rolls he may have made in the previous games....

Despite the focus on blockbuster franchises such as Halo 5, which was shown off via an exhilarating campaign gameplay trailer, Microsoft’s E3 2015 press conference also featured a number of smaller gaming projects and new IP. One of the most surprising and mysterious projects announced is a new concept from the creator of the popular online zombie multiplayer game DayZ, Dean Hall. Taking the stage during Microsoft’s press conference, Dean Hall introduced the world to his brand new concept in gaming, called Ion....

“After careful consultation with our member companies regarding the health and safety of everyone in our industry - our fans, our employees, our exhibitors, and our longtime E3 partners - we have made the difficult decision to cancel E3 2020, scheduled for June 9-11 in Los Angeles,” the Entertainment Software Association said in a statement. “Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation....

With the first of the main E3 conferences just around the corner, some of these smaller titles are in danger of being overshadowed and could get lost in the shuffle of the AAA news cycle. This is why we have trawled through all sizzle reels, announcement trailers and developer interviews from Saturday’s showcase, in order to help you figure out which upcoming indie games are really worth your attention....

In a report by Tom Henderson on Xfire detailing a recent “Town Hall” meeting call at EA, chief operating officer Laura Miele discussed various reasons why Battlefield 2042 flopped. One of the reasons Miele presented was the surprise launch of Halo Infinite multiplayer. Miele claimed that Battlefield 2042 was “stable” and that “early critical reception was good,” according to the report, but that things took a turn when the game was being compared to Halo Infinite as Halo was more polished and didn’t have nearly as many bugs....

Now that some time has passed since Battlefield 4’s launch, EA’s Andrew Wilson and DICE’s Karl-Magnus Troedsson are ready to talk about what exactly went wrong. More importantly, both have committed to ensuring this won’t happen again. Which is a good thing because Battlefield: Hardline launches in a few months. First and foremost, Wilson, who took over as EA’s CEO in late 2013, called the Battlefield 4 launch “unacceptable.” He claims that the time between developing, testing, and launch wasn’t enough for DICE to iron out the bugs in their game, of which there clearly were a lot....
