Harkening back to the origins of the series, this latest iteration is an instant hit with extremely brutal gameplay and all the nostalgic flair you could ask for. Not only that, but developer NetherRealm Studios is committed to keeping the game balanced through new technology that doesn’t even require a patch.

Liverpool turned on the style at Anfield on Wednesday to record a stunning 3-0 victory over Pep Guardiola’s side – Mohamed Salah, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane all scoring before half-time. It was another disappointing defeat for City against Jurgen Klopp’s Reds, following their 4-3 Premier League reverse in January, but Alonso has urged caution ahead of Tuesday’s return leg. “They have shown they can beat anyone, the atmosphere was thrilling at Anfield,” Alonso told Omnisport....

As the story goes, legendary shot blocker and humanitarian Dikembe Mutombo enjoyed using a specific pickup line when out at bars and clubs during his playing days.

At a dingy studio in the labyrinthine Kissakhani market–literally “the bazaar of the storytellers”–I sat for portraits dressed in a loose-fitting Pakistani outfit with a dupatta, or shawl, over my hair. “Don’t smile,” advised an acquaintance. “Nobody smiles in Afghanistan.” For my black-and-white portrait, the photographer dragged out an ancient wooden 2e-inch-format camera on a tripod; the device looked like something out of the British Raj. He focused burning-hot studio lights around me, then deftly removed the lens cap for a fraction of a second and replaced it....

Perhaps, the discrimination and the widespread difference in opinions is more vocal among the supporters of various footballing clubs. They want to see players from the club they support to be selected for the tournament. It may seem difficult to favour a set of players from a particular club but when Real Madrid harbours those players, we expect them to be selected nine out of ten times. And this year is no different as 13 players from Los Blancos squad get to feature at the summer event in Brazil....

We don’t recommend getting too involved with wagering on this glorified exhibition game, but with a total set a 7.5 and pitching being dominant like we saw in the 1960s, a case could be made that we’re in for another low-scoring game....

The service was a success, and it’s been a central part of Microsoft’s offering for years as players had the chance to download and play a massive variety of Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One titles. The games on offer ranged from smaller indie titles to fan-favorite AAA releases, and the service served as an important precursor to Microsoft’s incredibly popular Xbox Game Pass. But now it seems like a big change is coming as the last Xbox 360 game, Portal 2, will be given away next month....
