The first images of Command & Conquer: Generals 2 showed some explosive and dusty atmosphere, but that didn’t help us narrow the possibly games any. We had reasons to suspect that the so-called ’new IP’ would in fact not be all that new, but a revival of a series that had already established itself. Given the recent success the studio has had, there are surely several properties that would benefit from their take, specifically Command & Conquer: Alliances....

One of the few developers that has been ahead of the curve in terms of both gender equality and sexual orientation options is Bioware. The developer of Mass Effect and Dragon Age has always put an emphasis on romance in its games and since Jade Empire’s release, the company has been trying to include a variety of romantic interests for its characters that more accurately represents the diversity of the real world....

Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, Maggie Nichols and Aly Raisman testified about their experiences before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. All of the athletes present Wednesday have previously spoken publicly about being abused by Nassar. “They allowed a child molester to go free for more than a year,” Maroney said of the FBI. Maroney also accused the bureau of burying her 2015 report of abuse and later made false claims about what she told them....

Bilic went public about Payet’s desire to leave West Ham last week, outlining how the French fan-favourite had gone on strike in an attempt leave the club. Payet, who signed a five-year contract last February, has been strongly linked with a return to French side Olympique de Marseille by the British media. “His departure is not inevitable. I like to solve situations in house to protect the team. I said everything then and what has changed now?...

“I heard about this and evidently this is our production people on the TV show that were there,” Belichick told WEEI on Monday. “We have absolutely nothing to do with anything they produce or shoot.” MORE: What we know about the Patriots video scandal The mini-scandal began at Bengals head coach Zac Taylor’s press conference earlier Monday, when Taylor said he was “aware there was an incident” involving a Patriots camera recording his sideline during its Week 14 loss to Cleveland, and that the NFL was investigating....

From the onset of the conversation, Belichick maintained that he and his team were not going to linger over a decision that was out of their control. “I don’t really have any comment about today the officiating or any of those calls,” Belichick said. “If you have any questions on that, you can talk to the league office, the officiating department, let them give their explanation on them. It’s not really our job to call the games, it’s to play it and coach it....

Clinton, 75, was admitted to the intensive care unit at the University of California Irvine Medical Center in Orange, California, Tuesday with a non-COVID-related urinary tract infection that had spread to his bloodstream.

In a statement on Friday, Angel Ureña, a spokesperson for Clinton, told Newsweek that the former president has “never been to Little St. James Island.” “He’d not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade,” he said. “Well before his terrible crimes came to light.” Ureña referred Newsweek to a statement Clinton released in July 2019, where he issued the same denial. “He’s not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and has never been to Little St....

Gates’ 242,000 acres of farmland includes at least 100,000 acres of farmland in California, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, and 15 other states, according to a 2014 Wall Street Journal profile of Michael Larson. Larson, who manages the Gates’ personal portfolio and the holdings of the philanthropic Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, helped coordinate the land purchases as one way to diversify the couple’s profitable investments away from technology. In 2017, Gates purchased $520 million in U....

Host Fareed Zakaria noted that the “debate taking place now is whether we need a stimulus or COVID relief plan as large as President Biden is proposing.” “There are people who say the output gap is not that big,” Zakaria said. “There are others who say, ‘Look, most of this is going to public health and relief for people who aren’t allowed to work.’” “What do you think?” he asked Gates....

Hopkins is one of the best receivers in the league, but in a surprising trade last month, he was moved to Arizona along with a fourth-round draft pick this year in exchange for running back David Johnson and two draft picks in the second and fourth rounds over the next two years. O’Brien explained that Hopkins, who is under contract for the next three years, wanted a new contract that the Texans were unwilling to offer....

“I lost 100,000 followers, just because of the boobs,” the 19-year-old revealed in a frank interview with Elle, adding: “People are scared of big boobs.” The post in question was the singer’s look for the British Vogue cover earlier in 2021. The “Bad Guy” singer explained how many of her fans were used to her looking and dressing a certain way and did not react well to seeing her in a more mature, feminine look, rather than in her signature baggy streetwear....

The billionaire appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert while other 2020 candidates in the Democratic race, including Warren, took part in a CNN debate in Iowa. “The wealth tax just doesn’t work. It’s been tried elsewhere,” Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, told Colbert on Tuesday night. “We have to raise taxes on the wealthy, that’s the way you fix income inequality. And that’s where we get money to do the things that we need to do that keeps this country safe and to keep the economy going....

ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” reported Enemkpali had set up a meeting with a Facebook friend named “Missy Lee” who offered to perform oral sex on him if he came to “her” house. MORE: 10 players with most to gain on ‘prove-it’ contracts | Enemkpali: ‘I should have walked away’ from Smith Upon arrival, Enemkpali found the supposed Missy Lee, who, according to police reports, was covered head to toe in a blanket and would not turn on the lights....

Allen shoved Phillips immediately following the final play of practice, causing a brief skirmish between the offense and defense before both sides departed. No one was reported hurt. Allen took issue with contact Phillips made on the play: The quarterback kept the ball on a keeper, while Phillips — who was signed by Buffalo for a second stint this offseason after spending a season with the Cardinals — backtracked to give the fifth-year signal-caller a slight bump....

MORE: AFC predictions: Can Bills end playoff skid? Running back Karlos Williams has been suspended the first four games by the NFL for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, the team announced Friday. “As an organization, we are disappointed that Karlos has put himself in this situation,” the Bills said in a statement. “Poor decisions such as this affect not only the individual, but the entire Bills organization.

Ezra Castro, better known as “Pancho Billa,” died Tuesday at the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas after a long battle with spinal cancer. He was 39, the Buffalo News reported. Castro was a staple at Bills games, where he would dress up in a Bills-themed sombrero with a wrestling mask. The team honored him Tuesday with a tribute video, where he is heard discussing his love for the team....

Emotions will be running high, considering the Bills and Bengals met three weeks earlier but saw the game cut short after Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest in the first quarter. Luckily, Hamlin is recovering quickly, and both Buffalo and Cincinnati are now locked in on a potential Super Bowl run. While both the Bengals and the Bills are coming off less than impressive performances in the wild-card round, both have the talent to make a deep run and have proved it on this stage in the past....

Allen and the Bills looked unbeatable through two weeks of the season, rolling through the reigning-champion Rams and then bludgeoning Derrick Henry and the Titans. But a Week 3 trip to Miami — where the heat index was above 100 degrees in between hurricanes — brought Buffalo back down to Earth with a 21-19 loss to the division-rival Dolphins. Allen apparently hit his hand on a helmet late in the game, but x-rays came back negative and the star QB said “I’m good....
