So far, only two games have tackled this period of history. The first was Origins, set in Ptolemaic Egypt. Odyssey, set at the peak of Ancient Greece during the Peloponnesian War, marks the furthest back in time the series has currently gone. Starting with Valhalla, the series seems to be focusing its attention on Medieval settings for now, which is not necessarily a bad thing. However, the ancient world has many great opportunities that could make some incredible games....

What really happened is unclear. It is possible that an official (or low-level bureaucrat) sympathetic to Clinton destroyed evidence that could further embarrass the candidate on the draft issue. It is also possible that a Bush supporter tampered with the file to make it appear that incriminating documents had clumsily been removed. Late last week Bush campaign manager Fred Malek denied any dirty trick, telling NEWSWEEK, “We had no knowledge of such a file, so we couldn’t possibly have requested anybody tamper with it....

But the selection of Edwards was hardly a foregone conclusion. Determined to keep his decision a secret, Kerry waited until Monday night to tell his own top aides about his choice. (And in an instantly famous gaffe reminiscent of the 1948 headline wrongly announcing President Truman’s defeat, The New York Post’s front page proclaimed Tuesday that Kerry had selected veep contender Rep. Richard Gephardt as his running mate; “KERRY’S CHOICE,” ran the headline, “Dem picks Gephardt as VP Candidate....

Manchester United’s Anderson who now plays for Fiorentina in Serie A as a part of a loan deal until the end of the season, dropped a huge bombshell for United fans, claiming many of his ex-teammates want out from the Old Trafford club.

The New Zealand all-rounder came into the limelight with a record 36-ball ODI century against the West Indies at home last month. Anderson, surprisingly, has kept his base price low at Rs.1 crore while prominent names like Kevin Pietersen, Yuvraj Singh, Ashes hero Mitchell Johnson, Mike Hussey and Virender Sehwag are in the top bracket with a base price of Rs.2 crore. Anderson impressed with his performance against India as well with both bat and ball....

Filoni, the mind behind such beloved Star Wars shows as The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian (the latter of which he developed alongside Jon Favreau), has a more favorable outlook. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, he and Favreau spoke about how their shows (including the upcoming Ahsoka) tie in with the rest. Filoni appeared particularly impressed with how much the new series are starting to branch out in terms of storytelling and vibe....

Don’t mess with the Empire. The latest installment of Andor, “Narkina 5,” now streaming on Disney+, picks up where last week’s cliffhanger left off as a wrongfully convicted Cassian is shipped off to begin serving his unjust prison sentence.

Well into the second half of its first season, Andor is starting to pull the story threads together as Cassian has finally caught the ISB’s attention and Dedra Meero has brought Syril Karn aboard the investigation....

So far, the bulk of Phase 4 has been all about alternate realities and temporal themes. WandaVision started to explore the multiverse in greater detail, while The Falcon and the Winter Soldier set the stage for Disney Plus’ Loki series, which will undoubtedly be very time-travel heavy. With that in mind, all of the signs seem to point at No Way Home being some sort of massive multiverse enterprise, featuring all sorts of mind-blowing crossovers and cameos from other Spider-Man and MCU properties....

In a March 2019 statement, DNC Chairman Tom Perez said that Fox News was “not in a position to host a fair and neutral debate for our candidates.” Yang expressed his belief that the DNC made the wrong choice in a video shared Friday by CBS News. “One thing I think Democrats should do, I think we should go on Fox News and talk to the American people,” Yang said....

Alford has been the target of many of Enfield's not-so-veiled criticisms, including one in October when Enfield famously warned his players about the team's new uptempo pace. "We play up-tempo basketball here," he said. "If you want to play slow, go to UCLA." That snide remark was the spark. His recent comments to a room full of USC boosters ignited the flame war. "I don't worry about them," said Enfield when asked about competing with Alford for recruits....

Ruiz made his pro debut in 2009. After failing to win the WBO heavyweight title in 2016 against Joseph Parker, Ruiz received an opportunity he will never forget. Failing multiple drug tests, Jarrell Miller was removed from his heavyweight title showdown against Anthony Joshua in 2019. Ruiz ended up replacing him. Inside Madison Square Garden, Ruiz beat Joshua for the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles in what was considered the biggest upset in boxing history....

In the post-match press conference, he gushed, “After a rough, tough six to eight months, we needed that victory. In that time, there was a situation where fans were turning away from us.

Even when you lose they may love you, but they are also disappointed.” The 29-year-old added, “The best thing was to win this match for the fans....

As shocked Americans entered into a state of national mourning, a range of reactions continued to pour in from across the globe. Most were sympathetic.

NEWSWEEK correspondents recorded snapshots of the international responses. RUSSIA In Moscow, Russians overloaded the U....

When it was announced, Andor sounded like a weird pitch. A full series of premium streaming TV with a respectable cast and a hefty budget based entirely around the deuteragonist of a moderately well-received prequel from six years ago was an odd choice. Fans are both happy and lucky to see this risk pay off. RELATED: How Andor Elevates The Action Of Star Wars Andor is the third live-action Star Wars series to drop on Disney Plus....
