Ori And The Blind Forest Review

Once players get through the soul-crushing prologue (which we’ll avoid spoiling), the real adventure begins. Ori and the Blind Forest is a 2D platform adventure game with gorgeous art that will remind players of Braid or Limbo and sends them into a maze-like 2D world in the traditional style of the Metroidvania genre. Players wield control of Ori, a small luminous creature that might remind players of a very agile squirrel or lemur....

Paris Won T Die Scenes Of Joy At Bar Targeted By Terror

At the Carillon bar in eastern Paris, fans crowdsurfed and barmen sprayed champagne as “Les Bleus” closed in on their victory. It was a welcome celebration for a country still reeling from the massacre of 130 people enjoying a Friday night out three years ago, one of a wave of attacks which have claimed nearly 250 victims. “To be world champions here, it’s a symbol,” said Benoit Bardet, a young IT consultant who is “not especially a football fan”, told AFP outside the Carillon....

Klopp told Bild: Liverpool have had an underwhelming campaign in the English top tier so far.

Parallels With A Prison

HAVEL: I still hold to what I wrote. I was criticizing some negative phenomena of modern civilization. Communism isn’t the only disaster of today’s world, and if we dismantle communism, this won’t mean that this planet will start an era of paradise. The global problems go very deep. In the West, there are many disturbing omens, like frustration and the loss of purpose in life. In today’s Czechoslovakia, it is quite sensible to repeat this from time to time because many people have excessive illusions....

Payday The Heist Review

Game Rant’s Anthony Mole reviews PAYDAY: The Heist It’s easy to knock a game for its lack of originality - but what if sticking to a successful format actually works? One only needs to take a quick glance at PAYDAY: The Heist and brush it off as “Left 4 Dead meets a generic heist film.” Though in this case, the issue here isn’t PAYDAY’s inability to hide its influences, it’s the fact that all of the great gameplay is hidden beneath some truly frustrating technical issues....
