Once content to subsist on Disney’s table scraps, Universal thinks its expand- ing Orlando compound–centered on two theme parks, Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Hollywood–now represents an alternative to the larger Walt Disney World Resort. Realizing it has the billion-dollar amenities to do better than poach an afternoon from a family’s five-day Disney visit, Universal is striking back where Mickey is most vulnerable: with teens who have outgrown Dumbo the Flying Elephant....

In terms of Marvel specifically, the “House of Ideas” has made a pretty capable transition into the realm of movies, but its gaming output remains very inconsistent to this day. For every Guardians of the Galaxy, there is a mindless button-masher based on the Thor films, and for every Ultimate Alliance, there is a microtransaction-laden Avengers game that sucks any semblance of joy out of playing as Earth’s mightiest heroes....

We saw the two title matches at the top of the card both end in dramatic fashion, and a range of cool finishes and fun fights up and down the card. Really, of the televised bouts, the only dull fight was Andrei Arlovski vs. Walt Harris, a plodding affair that brought to a close the UFC’s time on Fox. Here are the best and worst moments from UFC 232....

While some companies like Sony decided to air a weird ad to promote its Black Friday sales in the PlayStation Store, others have taken a more traditional route by simply announcing some of the discounts it has to offer for the consumer event. For instance, Microsoft’s Director of Programming for Xbox Live, Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb, simply announced the Xbox One deals for Black Friday, revealing discounts for the Xbox One S console....

The Crusader is one of the six playable character classes in the hardcore RPG. They use their physical might and holy magic to help their allies and defeat their enemies. Crusaders have a lot to offer a team of adventurers and can be one of the most important warriors in the group if played well. Crusaders can tank damage, dish out heavy hits and buff their allies. Diablo Immortal players who want to do everything well can’t go wrong with a good Crusader....

Victor Von Doom is best known as the arch-nemesis of the Fantastic Four, but over the decades he’s essentially become the de facto big bad for the entire Marvel Universe. As such, he’s been involved in plenty of landmark storylines, not all of which have featured the FF. Here are just a few memorable Doctor Doom stories that could easily provide the inspiration for his inevitable MCU appearances. RELATED: Willem Dafoe Wants To Appear In A Potential Joker Sequel...

The tables across Europe’s top five leagues will be reset, but discussions over who deserves to win the series of incoming individual awards this year are still rife. The first of the many individual accolades to be presented is the FIFA Best Award. The football governing body set the ball in motion by announcing its list of ten nominees for the FIFA The Best Men’s Player award on Wednesday last week....

At about the same time, 3,000 miles away in the worn linoleum halls of Inglewood High in South-Central Los Angeles, Rasheda Daniel was learning that despite her hard work in the very same AP history course, she would not be able to take the AP test necessary to earn college credit. It cost $50, even with the discount for low-income families. With her mother temporarily out of work, she did not have the money....

Thankfully, LEGO games have been around for a lot longer than The Skywalker Saga alone. For many years, Traveller’s Tales has been producing delightful retellings of all kinds of IPs, from Indiana Jones to Harry Potter. That means even though The Skywalker Saga’s release date is in doubt, there’s plenty of LEGO games out there to entertain fans in the meantime. A couple games are particularly worth revisiting, considering the specific steps that The Skywalker Saga is taking to reimagine the way LEGO games play....

Even though some of the most iconic 1973 movies will turn 50 in 2023, they have the power to capture the audience just as well today as they did half a century ago....

Even players increasingly have started taking the ratings seriously, so EA decided to gauge on the general opinion and released this brilliant advertisement for their latest game FIFA 19. In this post, let’s take a look at the best team of players formed by choosing players only from the English Premier League clubs. The formation with the highest average rating and the best chemistry amongst all formations is 4-3-3 with an average rating of 89....

“The absence of a backup goalkeeper is always a worry for us. Harjot only got some time to play against Canada. So they need to be given more chances in future when we play Test matches because a goalkeeper can only become better with experience,” Sreejesh told PTI in an interview. “Harjot and Sushant are there and they are doing their best but they are not getting many opportunities to gain experience....

The folks here are generally friendly and often openly religious. It is not uncommon, for instance, to be wished a “blessed day” in a wide variety of contexts. While Lubbock has steadily grown in recent years, the greater High Plains region has one of the lowest population densities in the United States. Like many rural areas, this is Trump Country. Even as I write that phrase, I’m struck by its oddity....

The mighty have certainly fallen from grace and when the mighty fall, they fall hard! What went wrong for the Albiceleste from reaching the finals of the 2014 World Cup, to the disappointing possibility of not seeing the team in Russia. Where did the problems start for the team? The AFA (Argentine Football Association) It’s an unwritten rule that there will always be some grounds for disagreement between a country’s Football Association and its team....

Oops. I stand corrected. It’s cicadas that are attacking, not Qaedas. Every 17 years the bulbous, vaguely revolting species of bug known as Brood X emerges from the ground to grow wings, molt, breed and die, all within the span of a few weeks. Males emit high-decibel mating calls, a sort of screeching twitter which might be romantic if they weren’t counted in the trillions. As I write, Brood X cicadas are attacking in 15 states, from Ohio to Virginia....

The Batman director Matt Reeves has already stated that he and Pattinson intended to explore the psychological torment of The Dark Knight, and it appears they will be taking their time in examining such details. If the aforementioned IMAX theater’s information proves to be correct, The Batman will be the longest film in the Caped Crusader’s cinematic history to date.

“What’s black and blue and dead all over? You,” were the words echoed by the sadistic character toward the masked vigilante within the first pieces of footage delivered from The Batman. Dano’s version of the character will present a more serious threat that many have associated with antagonists commonly seen within horror films. The Batman synopsis paints the villain as a killer targeting Gotham’s elite with a series of perverse machinations, which will spark immediate comparisons between The Riddler and Jigsaw from the renowned Saw franchise....

Dano began strategically drafting the design for his character in The Batman last year, thinking of ways to bring the villain’s characteristics to the forefront in his attire. The psychological aspects of The Riddler played a part in Dano’s imagined design, along with the character’s physically exact nature, especially when it came to murders carried out by the villain.

But dig a little deeper, and you’ll begin to find a treasure trove of classic games that are now playable on phones.
