Jemez was sacked by La Liga’s bottom club following its worst start to a season in more than 70 years, and that continued last weekend as the team was beaten 1-0 by Leganes. With Granada rooted to the foot of the table with just two points from seven games, Alcaraz has been given the task of keeping it in the Spanish top flight. The 50-year-old’s last role was with Levante in the 2014-15 campaign, his tenure lasting just more than one year before departing last October....

While the trailer was never meant to tease a full recreation of the game for public release, it appears that the combination of recreating areas from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in the Unreal Engine and the group’s soliciting of donations from Patreon rubbed Take-Two Interactive the wrong way. As of writing, the ArcadiaSquad YouTube channel is empty and the Patreon is “under review.” RELATED: The GTA Protagonists, Ranked...

On top of the hyper-realistic visuals, it seems as if Romito set out to retool the entirety of GTA 5—one of the top 25 games of last generation, and possibly of the current gen—in order to make it the most true to life rendition of the title possible. Not only did he intensify the graphics, but he also fine-tuned the game’s sound quality, improved its relationship dynamics, enhanced weapon destruction, refined vehicle handling, and so much more....

Influenced by movies like Scarface and Miami Vice, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City takes place in a setting that is plagued by drug lords, violent crime, gang warfare, and criminal empires. The game’s compelling setting and characters, along with its fun gameplay, cause it to be played more than twenty years after its release, so much so that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is still being modded for more content....

Even then, fans know that the PS5 and Xbox Series X release of Grand Theft Auto 5 and its counterpart, now going standalone, GTA Online is releasing here soon. And, top of that, Rockstar Games has officially confirmed Grand Theft Auto 6. It’s been a rollercoaster for the franchise, but while there is a lot on the way, a lot of work is still being done to the trilogy....

Substitutes Asamoah Gyan and Frank Acheampong netted second half goals to give the Black Stars a 2-0 triumph at the Sevens Stadium in Dubai, UAE. The match forms part of Ghana’s preparations for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations holding in Gabon between January 14 and February 5. “It is always good to win,” Grant told Sports360. “But obviously, we do want to take some lessons from this game because we tried some things that are a bit new....

Hill was behind the bench at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Tuesday night for Duke’s win against Michigan; he chatted with Sporting News the next morning about that contest and a few other things. Hill was doing a round of phone interviews to promote his involvement with the Allstate NABC Good Works Team, a program that looks to highlight players who excel in areas of leadership and charitable activity. This year, 117 players were nominated by the NABC (National Association of Basketball Coaches), and from that group, 10 players will make the team (five from Division I teams and five from lower levels)....

The Grizzlies guard, who was sent to Memphis as part of the Mike Conley trade, was ejected in the fourth quarter of his team’s NBA Summer League game against the Celtics after committing two flagrant fouls on Boston rookie Grant Williams. Allen seemed to take exception to multiple (legal) screens set by Williams, and he retaliated with a couple cheap shots aimed at Williams’ head.

On Friday, Democratic contender Joe Biden pulled ahead in the Keystone State where Trump had enjoyed a lead in the initial count after Election Day. But Trump campaign general counsel Matt Morgan has said that in Pennsylvania there were “many irregularities” which included “having election officials prevent our volunteer legal observers from having meaningful access to vote counting locations.” Morgan wrote the campaign had been “deprived of valuable time” and “denied the transparency we are entitled to under state law,” according to the New York Post....

Higgins claimed without evidence that the election had been “compromised” in a video he reportedly posted to Facebook late Thursday but was later removed. The Louisiana lawmaker is also said to have challenged those who left negative comments about the video to confront him physically, according to a report from The New Orleans Advocate. “Donald J. Trump, President Trump, has been an anointed blessing to our nation,” Higgins said in the video....

“The insurrection of January 6 in the nation’s Capitol and its aftermath continue to reveal how the words and actions of individuals and groups can safeguard or undermine democracy,” said Anne Harris, Grinnell’s president, in a Wednesday statement. “The acts of those who supported or otherwise gave credence to a baseless challenge to an election that had been certified as free and fair multiple times by multiple processes have threatened the electoral process and the peaceful transfer of power,” Harris added....

“America’s going through a rough patch right now. Some people seem to be enjoying it. Maybe they just hate America. Maybe they just enjoy watching the world burn. I think some are liking the chaos because they think it gives them a political advantage. Part of that chaos is caused by school’s closing. For our kids, we need to open them,” Kennedy said. “There are some people who want to keep our schools closed because they think it gives them a political advantage....

As Saina returns after yet another victorious campaign, Gopi talks to Dev S Sukumar about his celebrated trainee and his own role in sculpting her success: Was the Indonesia Open Saina’s best-ever win? It was a very good win. It’s one of the best she’s won. Overall, it’s a very creditable achievement. The quarterfinal especially, the way she recovered from the second game loss after Shixian saved two match points, and the way she recovered after that long match to win the semifinal and final…...

And get away with it, too. JuicyCampus—whose Duke-graduate founder, Matt Ivestor, declined to comment for this story—isn’t sponsored by the schools it covers, so administrators can’t regulate it. Neither does the law. Such sites are protected by a federal law that immunizes Web hosts from liability for the musings of their users—as long as the hosts themselves don’t modify content. (And firmly establishing the identity of an individual poster would be next to impossible....

The terrain isn’t promising. Everywhere fussy, grubby graphics are seething on Xbox consoles, machine guns are gack-ack-acking and cars are skidding into patchily shaded walls. Tabloid wisdom pegs the game biz as a bunch of geeks and nerds feeding fantasies to agoraphobes, sociopaths and illiterates. While I meet plenty of friendly, delightful people, there’s enough cruel truth in the stereotype to keep it slouching into my mind. Beauty, meaning and pleasure don’t appear to be this crowd’s ambrosia....

While the Gotham Knights characters Batgirl, Robin, and Nightwing all play similarly to their mentor Batman, Red Hood stands as a direct contrast to their fighting styles. Seeing killing as the right way to deal with Gotham’s crime, Jason Todd’s move set and fighting style has always relied heavily on the use of guns. From his iconic dual wield pistols to rifles and launchers, comics, animated movies, and previous video game appearances have all seen Red Hood wielding guns....

Despite the death of Bruce Wayne being a focal point in Gotham Knights, the game isn’t set in the same continuity as the Batman: Arkham series. Instead, it’s a new canon being established, separate from the canon where Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is set in the Arkhamverse. Gotham Knights is an opportunity for the other heroes of the Bat-Family to take center stage without The Dark Knight being directly involved....

Gotham is a city that’s dominated by crime, with only a few individuals like Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne fueling the regular citizens’ desire for a brighter tomorrow. With the pair gone, it sets up Gotham Knights’ story to be one that will be more influenced by the setting’s worst traits than ever, and so for players that are excited to begin the journey it could be wise to understand its origins and how Gotham was shaped....

Gotham Knights, not to be confused with the upcoming Warner Bros. game by the same name, has been announced. This comes after the cancellation of Batwoman and seems to serve as a replacement for the once-planned Wayne Family Adventures series. The show occupies a strange position in the brand’s history but offers even more open questions in its trailer. RELATED: First Gotham Knights Trailer Unites Batman’s Son With Unlikely Allies...

In a comment to Kotaku, WB Games clarified that Gotham Knights is set in its own continuity, and is in a separate universe entirely from the Arkham games. The decision to focus on the Bat-Family instead of Batman fueled fan theories that the game was a sequel to Arkham Knight, but this doesn’t seem to be the case despite the stylistic similarities.
