The deal would have involved Comcast-NBCUniversal spinning off the NBCUniversal media portion of the company to merge with Electronic Arts.

Xbox Game Pass is widely regarded as one of the best deals in the gaming industry right now, as the service has a multitude of benefits and very few drawbacks. Recently, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers were given 30 free days of Paramount+. This is a great benefit for subscribers and was most likely done by Microsoft in order to encourage users to watch the new Halo TV series, which is now streaming on Paramount+....

Only one receiver tops the chart with a 99 rating this year. Michael Thomas is the last member to join the 99 club and for good reason. Thomas experienced a breakout season with 1725 receiving yards and averaging over 100 yards per game. However, many of the top receivers are not far behind in ratings. All top 10 receivers are rated over 90 overall and many fans are divided on the list despite close ratings throughout....

In a recent interview following the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order announcement, Amy Hennig admitted that it was strange seeing that the game would be single-player only and lack any sort of monetization. While she’s is well known for her days working on the Uncharted franchise at Naughty Dog, Hennig was most recently at EA working on an unannounced and single player Star Wars experience code named Ragtag. Unfortunately, EA made the decision to cancel the Star Wars project for what Hennig described as being too linear and without ways to monetize the experience through loot boxes or other live services methods....

On Twitter, #EAGate started trending as news began to spread about this questionable activity and many gamers, particularly those who had spent large amounts of money trying to obtain these rare FUT cards the officially sanctioned way, spoke out in anger. RELATED: EA Launches ‘Thorough Investigation’ into FIFA 21 Employee Controversy EA’s immediate response was to announce that it would be launching a thorough investigation into the alleged controversial employee activity and would ban any FIFA accounts that had obtained cards through this black market....

Papoutsis had a lot to say on the revival of the survival horror genre and the difficulties of creating a good one: I don’t think you could get a more pleasing statement out of Papoutsis. Survival horror was a big part of my gaming library growing up with titles like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and even Fatal Frame. The first two titles have since received “reboots”, thrusting the fanchises into an action heavy atmosphere....

The old ball and excessive shadows created problems for the ball tracking cameras, thus the Eagle Eye Tracker manufacturer told its broadcaster that this was the reason why they couldn’t provide an immediate decision on Jason Holder’s appeal. A secondary option when the tracker doesn’t work was to check Channel Nine’s footage of Peter Siddle’s delivery and it was later found out that the ball missed the leg stumps, but this was found out later and not at the time of DRS referral....

Now they are searching for consistency. “Each week — and (Eagles defensive coordinator) Jim Schwartz mentioned it and it’s true,” Philadelphia coach Doug Pederson says, “you’re two plays away from maybe being 0-4 and two plays away from being 4-0. That’s how tight this thing really is.” Coming off its championship season Philly has won twice at home and fallen twice on the road, last week blowing a 14-point lead to lose in overtime at Tennessee....

Dying Light: Bad Blood, the upcoming “brutal royale” game by Techland, will launch via Steam Early Access in September, the studio announced today. A few months ago, Techland released the first gameplay trailer for Dying Light: Bad Blood that gave players a preview of the upcoming title. Now, it is clear that the game will not only want players to worry about the threat of other players, but also the danger of a zombie-infested environment....

Since its debut last year, Los Angeles based E! has brought to almost 19 million cable subscribers across the country its bright graphic look, a crew of young hosts with great hair and teeth, and a format of endlessly rotating plugs, previews and puff pieces. Owned by Time Warner and a consortium of cable operators, E! aims to succeed in an increasingly tight cable market by servicing the need to hear celebrities talk about themselves 24 hours a day....

I spoke with CEO Alan Sutton about, well, what Cyber Clean is, before I tried it myself. It turns out Cyber Clean is pretty useful if you have a dirty keyboard, CPU fan, controller, dirt in-between cell-phone keys etc - it’s literally just a slime that absorbs all the dirt and gunk from hard to reach places. Here’s a clearly exciting live transcript of the CEO showing the stuff to me:...

It’s up for debate whether the girls actually help what they’re pushing, but they certainly put on a friendly face and are eager to tell people about a game or two. The ones we dealt with during this year’s E3 2011 were friendly and most importantly full of information about their product - cheers to the women who worked their long shifts this year. We also paid homage to them last year, so feel free to check that page out....

It might not have been the smartest move on Sony’s part to align with AT&T in a lot of gamers’ minds, but it’s hard to refute the fact that AT&T is always at the forefront of high profile partnerships – first with Apple and the iPhone and now with Sony and Vita. Obviously Vita’s appeal doesn’t rest solely in its online capabilities, but being able to reap the full experience from the handheld will require, we imagine, a contract with AT&T – although at this point the data plans and what not are unknown....

The Eagles were up 7-0 by 1:04 p.m. ET. The 107-yard return is the longest in franchise history. The Eagles have been outstanding on special teams this season, scoring two punt return touchdowns and two kickoff return touchdowns. They’ve also blocked three punts, one field goal and one extra point....

Fresh off a forgettable 1-0 loss to Panama on Saturday, the Americans knew that anything short of a victory against the Haitians would spell doom for them and head coach Tab Ramos. So when Haiti drew first blood with an early goal to stun the U.S., it looked like we were about to see the latest in what has been an ongoing series of awful youth national team results in recent years....

Dynasty Warriors games have popularized the Musou genre which focuses on overpowered heroes taking on waves of enemies, and developers at Omega Force may be looking at other franchises to explore with the Musou style. During an interview with JP Games about Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires, producer Akihiro Suzuki hinted at a desire to visit the Star Wars franchise in the future. Removing the potential for confusion, Suzuki also assured Dynasty Warriors and Star Wars fans that his desire for a Star Wars Musou game is his own personal wish....
