IO announced that it is starting development of a brand new 007 game on November 19th, 2020. Since then, fans have been raving about how the pairing of development and IP are a match made in heaven, with many excited to see IO’s approach to adapting the 007 franchise given how well regarded its sandbox approach to stealth game design has been with the recent Hitman trilogy. However, development of this Bond game is still in its early days....
Many fans wondered what the future had in store for the Hitman franchise after the release of Hitman 3, as IO Interactive had advertised the reboot as a trilogy since the release of Hitman in 2016. The trilogy was positively received by fans and critics, who praised the games for their creative level designs and giving players the freedom to take out their targets however they wanted too. Fans obviously wanted more of Agent 47, but many were worried they may never play another IO Interactive Hitman game again after the developer announced that it would shift focus to its upcoming 007 game after Hitman 3....

Hocus Pocus has become an annual Halloween tradition in many households, and with it available to stream on the Disney+ subscription service, it’s safe to say that tradition will continue for many. And while Hocus Pocus fans re-watch the movie this year, they may want to do so with an interesting fan theory in mind that potentially changes the entire context of the plot.

Although Harry Potter himself may be the most well-known alumni from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, plenty of other iconic characters from the franchise spent their early years in its halls. As such, a lot of the castle has already been mapped out so to speak by the original seven books and other supplementary material. Hogwarts Legacy can use this information when designing the castle, but there are still several places that aren’t used in any books or Harry Potter media....
As an overview of what players can anticipate, Hogwarts Legacy showcased cinematics and gameplay throughout Hogwarts’ castle grounds, as well as activities and adventures players can embark upon past the castle’s walls. This is the first official gameplay shown for Hogwarts Legacy, and fans have since wondered what spell-casting duels would look like as the game’s source of combat. The wait is fortunately over as fans have received their first look at combat with many spells and interesting techniques to consider....
Though gamers have seen a lot of the castle, much of Hogwarts Legacy is still shrouded in mystery. Hence, the castle could still be holding many secrets. A few secret hallways and rooms, along with greater environmental variety would go a long way to making Hogwarts more fun to explore.

Hogwarts Legacy’s second gameplay showcase touched upon a lot of exploration that fans will have to indulge in, whether that is freely flying around Hogwarts’ grounds, navigating the Forbidden Forest, or personalizing the Room of Requirement’s cosmetic delights. However, it also concluded with a tiny cutscene sequence, and the implications it makes are difficult to discern based on what happens. That said, Harry Potter fans may instantly associate this cutscene to the theatrical depiction of Tom Riddle’s diary, and some fans believe they already know who this particular book belongs to....
The life sim genre has seen a surge in popularity over the last few years partially thanks to the success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which captivated millions of weary gamers during the COVID-19 pandemic’s initial lockdown. The upbeat and wholesome nature of the genre provides gamers with a much-needed escape from the stresses and uncertainties of modern life as they mosey about a relaxed virtual world carrying out small chores and customizing their personal spaces....
Philadelphia is off to a hot start and has posted a record of 5-0 over the first five weeks of the season. The team is now preparing to take on its divisional rival, the Cowboys, in Week 6 in the hope of improving its record to 6-0 on the year. The Eagles’ run has been an impressive one to start the season, but does it mean anything long-term? We’re just a year removed from seeing the Cardinals begin the 2021 campaign on a seven-game winning streak only to finish 11-5 and flame out in a wild-card blowout....
The third map takes players to Berlin, Germany for the mission known as Apex Predator. While working on the main story mission, players will likely notice many of the buildings feature graffiti and street art. While not important to the main story, players can score some easy XP as well as an achievement/trophy for finding 7 yellow birds scattered around the city. Simply taking a picture of all seven before finishing the mission will unlock the Concrete Ornithology Challenge and the Bird Art achievement....
Lewandowski was withdrawn 13 minutes from time on Saturday and refused to shake the hand of Heynckes, incurring the wrath of the boss, who later confirmed he had a stern word with the striker. The incident further intensified reports of Lewandowski’s rumoured desire to leave the club, with Real Madrid said to be interested. And Hitzfeld, who had two spells in charge of Bayern, called Lewandowski out, saying his actions suggest he is not a team player....
HI’s Disciplinary Committee met Wednesday to discuss governance and operations of Hockey Kerala and investigate alleged irregularities in its functioning. The committee members reviewed the report and the documentation provided by Hockey Kerala and found irregularities in its functioning. The state association was immediately relegated to an associate member category of HI. Hockey Kerala will have an opportunity to appeal against the decision within 30 days of Wednesday’s meeting. As their president was not available for the meeting, he was represented by senior vice-president M....
For the first 9 minutes, the Indian team was not able to score a goal because the forward could not record a meaningful shot on target. India earned a penalty corner and a brilliant rebound shot by Mandeep Singh in the 10th minute gave the hosts a 1-0 lead. While 2 minutes later, a superb field goal by Akashdeep Singh helped the hosts increase their lead to 2-0. At the end of the first quarter, India led 2-0....
Much like Ric Charlesworth’s great Australian teams of the past, the Indians have adopted a deliberate strategy of swarming the goalmouth in the opening minutes even before the opposition have had time to settle. Implementing such a strategy is possible only when a team is able to maintain a solid structure to ward off possible counter attacks, and the midfield and defence have the ability to reposition themselves at a moment’s notice based on the movement of the opposition players....
Hogwarts Legacy is also suffering from another controversy surrounding lead designer, Troy Leavitt. Troy Leavitt’s past YouTube videos have come under fire for pro-Gamergate views that targeted prominent women in the gaming industry such as Zoe Quinn, Brianna Wu, and Anita Sarkeesian. Following this news, video game forum ResetEra decided to ban all Hogwarts Legacy media threads used to promote the game in order to refrain from drawing more attention to the situation....
Increasingly I identify with Sisyphus trying to move that stone. There are more mornings than I would like to admit when many of my students sit with eyes glazed or heads slumped on their desks as I try to nurture a threatening-to-become-extinct interest in school. These are not lazy kids. Many are high-achieving 16- and 17-year-olds who find it tough to reconcile 7:30 a.m. classes with a job that winds down at 10:30 p....
Operation Warp Speed is experiencing transmission difficulties. All COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. are ordered through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, creating a centralized system for distribution to the states and a nationwide protocol to administer the shots. “We are doing a lot of things right,” Claire Hannan, executive director of the Association of Immunization Managers, a non-profit professional organization based in Rockville, Maryland, told Newsweek....
