A bit of buzz surrounding the recently-released Red Bull Crashed Ice Kinect caught our attention, crafted by the developers at Bongfish GmbH, the Austrian studio behind the snowboarding game Stoked. We downloaded the game to find out if the snowy lunacy translated from the slope to the frozen track. And boy, are we glad we did. The actual sport on which the game is based, downhill ice cross, is just the kind of competitive madness and spectacle that first made extreme sports possible, and every effort is taken to mimic that same experience in its Kinect incarnation....

In “Fear of the Dark”—the marquee addition added to Red Dead Redemption 2’s multiplayer in the Halloween event update—players are either mortal Hunters or monstrous Night Stalkers in a variation on RDO’s Showdown Modes. Night Stalkers are “supernaturally fast, tough and strong,” but they have a vulnerability: their power comes from skull masks found around the multiplayer map. As Hunters track down the skull masks, their own power grows and that of the Night Stalkers diminishes....

We’re all in favor of free DLC, and the amount of characters and maps on tap is more than many will expect. More than a fitting farewell to one of our favorite games of 2010, and from the new screenshots, the pack contains locations and faces that many fans have been hoping to see before the project was put on the shelf for good. From bumbling deputies to Mexican revolutionaries, there’s more than a few one-of-a-kind skins featured in the DLC, so take a look and see what zero dollars can buy you these days:...

Regular readers and fans of the franchise will remember that Red Faction: Armageddon is being developed as a much more linear and focused experience than 2009’s Red Faction: Guerrilla. Though some may bemoan the loss of the sand-box elements that were the best part of Guerrilla, delivering a more directed game allows developer Volition to tell a much deeper and more nuanced story. Of course, for those gamers just looking to blow stuff up real good there is always Red Faction: Armageddon’s Ruin Mode to look forward to....

(The Best Man) ‘Tis the season for political drama–and thus for a revival of Gore Vidal’s 1960 stage classic about a ruthless presidential race (and yes, Vidal happens to be distantly related to one of this year’s candidates). On Broadway, the politicos will be played by Charles Durning, Chris Noth and Spaulding Gray. Vidal’s having a big season, as his latest acid-etched historical novel, “The Golden Age”–a look at America mid-century through the eyes of a female Washington newspaper publisher–will hit stores about the same time....

Pirro’s comments follow a general trend among Fox News hosts, essentially blaming President Joe Biden for Putin’s invasion and its consequences. Republican leaders, including Trump, have echoed similar talking points, even as polls show that voters largely approve of Biden’s actions against Russia since its war on Ukraine. On Tuesday, Pirro’s co-host Geraldo Rivera insinuated that “Putin was playing Trump” during the ex-president’s era in the White House to unwittingly further Russia’s goals....

It was just two years ago that an exciting prospect within the Old Trafford academy system was given his big break by Louis van Gaal. Debut goals for club and country helped to raise the 20-year-old’s profile, with his blossoming career now including more than 100 senior appearances and winners’ medals from successful FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Europa League campaigns. Starts and goals have dried up of late, with Jose Mourinho favouring other options, but Rashford remains an important part of the Red Devils squad and has been backed to become a star frontman of the future....

The Manchester United forward is just 19 years of age and has represented the Young Lions on one previous occasion – netting a hat-trick in a qualification clash with Norway.

Shearer: Central role isn’t Rashford’s Haregreaves believes that is the right call, with players of Rashford’s pedigree no longer in need of experience at youth level....

The reports stem from the appearance of assets and details ascribed to “the upcoming sequel of Rayman Origins” which appeared in a survey by marketing firm Arkenford. One of the surveyed parties reported the findings to Kotaku, along with a selection of screenshots from the accompanying gameplay video.

The IRA, co-sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and centrist Senator Joe Manchin, features numerous provisions carried over from President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better proposal, aiming to fight inflation by lowering prescription drug costs, investing in clean energy, and empowering the IRS with more agents to enforce tax laws, among other provisions.

The 18-year-old Vinicius has played well recently, so well in fact that his national team has called the young player up to compete against Panama on March 23 and the Czech Republic on March 26 in place of Neymar. Yet despite the forward’s talent he has failed to do the most important thing any player can do; score goals, reports Efe news. “I like to look at the positive things that football players do....

The Madrid goalkeeper joined Zinedine Zidane in urging Isco to stay at the club after he produced another magnificent performance in Sunday’s 3-0 La Liga win over Alaves. The 24-year-old scored the second goal for Zidane’s men with an impressive finish five minutes from time and dictated much of his side’s play, recording a season-high 101 touches. Isco: I’m making every minute count Isco now has five goals in his last six league starts, but spoke earlier this season of his desire to play more regularly and has been linked with a shock move to rivals Barcelona when his contract expires in 2018....
