Oscar Tabarez’s side have won the competition a record 15 times, most recently in 2011, but they fell short at the first hurdle in 2016 and far more is expected this time around. Boasting a squad including the likes of Diego Godin, Edinson Cavani, Fernando Muslera and Luis Suarez - on course to play a full part in this opener after recovering from knee surgery - Uruguay are considered third favourites behind Brazil and Argentina....
Recently, someone at GameSpot was curious as to how much a game like that costs to produce, and sent a Freedom of Information Act Request to find out. The result is the discovery that $32.8 million dollars has been spent over 10 years to fund the game both in development and throughout its staggering 26 version updates (the most current version is now America’s Army 3). Th third installment was developed by an Emeryville-based company, and merely weeks after the game launched, the army released all ties with the developer and started updating and game from their own programming offices in Redstone Arsenal, Alabama....
Call of Duty fans started noticing a change regarding the two sponsors earlier this week. ASTRO Gaming sponsored the Call of Duty League’s seasonal MVP award, and so had a large logo prominently displayed on the official esports’ league’s website.

The change was made quietly and it’s not clear exactly when it went through, but it was undeniably done with intention....

Now, years after the franchise has gone dormant, it’s the landmark series’ turn to be someone else’s source of inspiration. UnMetal, an upcoming stealth-action title from independent developer Unepic Fran, takes some obvious cues from the early Metal Gear titles. Its demo exhibits top-down stealth gameplay, a similar score, and a wacky sense of humor, but that’s not to say UnMetal is trying to outright emulate Metal Gear. Rather, it makes some common-sense updates to the MSX games’ gameplay that make this indie game feel like the definitive 2D Metal Gear experience....

The season of surrogates is in full flower. Their mission: bloody the opposition, raise money, amplify the message, test-market new themes and engage subjects deemed too risky for the candidate to touch. Technology has turned modern campaign surrogacy into a high-velocity game of charge-countercharge. Media markets where candidates appear are now routinely “bracketed” by opposition surrogates: one the day before his arrival and another after he leaves.
