[Update: Potential (and revealing) Assassin’s Creed 3 art may have leaked early!] It’s been nearly two weeks since we first heard official confirmation that the next battle between the Assassins and Templars, Assassin’s Creed 3 would be released on October 30, 2012. Considering the game was only announced (officially) in February, it’s hard to imagine that the title is only eight months away from release; however, as a result, expect news on the next animus adventure with Desmond Miles to come fast and furious throughout the year - starting as soon as tomorrow, March 1st....

The Monmouth University survey, released Monday, found that 70 percent of U.S. adults agree with the statement “It’s time we accept that COVID is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives.” Most Americans don’t think the health crisis will be solved anytime soon. Roughly one-third of those polled said it will take longer than the end of the year to control the outbreak and return to pre-pandemic life....

Why? Because that makes the competition unfair for Xfinity regulars. Let Xfinity drivers decide the championship without Cup drivers’ impact. MORE: Winners, losers at Kansas | Next Cup race: Talladega NASCAR isn’t tone deaf, at least in this case. Steve O’Donnell said so this week, indicating NASCAR could soon segregate drivers according to their series. Here’s what O’Donnell, a NASCAR vice president and chief racing development officer, said Monday on SiriusXM regarding keeping the racers separated....

The heft of history of course, weighs against Colin and Wendy Parry and their children Dominic, 15, and Abigail, 12. But a recent spate of brutal attacks–10 killed in an IRA bombing in October, seven killed by submachine gun in retaliation a week later–has heightened public outrage in the United Kingdom and Ireland over senseless violence. This month tens of thousands of Protestants and Roman Catholics demonstrated in 11 cities across Northern Ireland....

Rent is taking up more and more of renters’ paychecks and home ownership is getting less attainable, with close to two-thirds of renters saying home ownership is unaffordable for them. An inaccessible housing market isn’t surprising news for many of our constituents, it’s their daily reality. Americans on the edge of financial ruin face this issue in their daily lives and have never had equal access to the market. Understanding the legacy of historic inequities and discriminatory policies can help us build a more inclusive economic future in which affordable, quality, and safe housing is possible for all Americans....

Madden isn’t set to release until Aug. 19, but ratings are slowly starting to trickle out for the long-running football sim franchise. The first rating that was released was something off a paradigm shift: 49ers left tackle Trent Williams was the first member of the 99 overall club, as revealed on June 1 this year. Williams is the first offensive lineman to join the 99 overall club in the game....

Now, a level 99 running back in Madden NFL 22 might be given an X-Factor ability that makes them better at catching in one-on-one coverage, while a lower-ranked halfback will be given a superstar trait that runs over defenders with regularity. This factor alone can make the lower-ranked player far more desirable than the “better” player....

RELATED: Madden NFL 22: Top Offensive Linemen, RankedBut nothing is perfect and making changes also means making mistakes. There are still flaws within the game that can ruin the experience for somebody coming back to the series with higher expectations. There will always be minor issues, but these are the most serious issues that should be solved with a high priority. 10 Server Crashes Servers going down was a problem during early release and now, this more players joining, they’re even worse, going from once every hour to once every few minutes....

RELATED: Madden 23 Should Overhaul In-Season Player Progression In that situation, players would be much more open to taking risks in Madden NFL 23. For some players, it’s hardly even risky. Elite wide receivers can jump higher than those who cover them, resulting in an edge that pros will abuse until they either win or their opponent quits. Updated on November 20th, 2022 by Hodey Johns: With the regular season about halfway over, it’s now time to have a new look at these players....

“I’m one of those people that on the night of Thanksgiving, I want to get my tree up, but we didn’t have the chance to do that,” Rayne explained. “We’re slowly getting things decorated, but as far as the shopping goes, that’s done. I waited until Christmas Eve last year and I vowed never to do that again. I fell victim to Cyber Monday. Santa is making a big stop at our place this year....

The pop icon, 63, had previously taken to social media in November 2020 to share a photo of herself sporting a scar on her hip, 11 months after an injury she had sustained on her “Madame X” tour forced her to cancel a number of shows on the North American leg. And during her Madame X Presents: Madame Xtra Q&A special for Paramount+, the “Vogue” singer has spoken candidly for the first time about her hip surgery....

The Mafia franchise has been absent since 2016 when Mafia 3 was launched. It would be the only Mafia game released this generation, which is in line with the original Mafia and its sequel. Now Mafia may be back in some form or another, as the official Mafia Twitter account has once again become active. A single tweet was posted Sunday morning with a single word. “Family,” is the lone tweet, which has now been pinned at the top of the account’s feed....

Pictured below, the Magic: The Gathering Unsanctioned lands are sure to remind fans of the full-art lands that were found previously in the Unhinged, Unglued, and Unstable sets. Featuring bold but simple designs, many players will certainly consider these new lands to be the most desirable part of Unsanctioned, and fans should expect to see them appear in decks across a myriad of formats moving forward.

The general section of the Magic Legends update includes the announcements for both a Summoner’s Draw event and a 50% Bonus XP Weekend Event. These two events should both help motivate testers to stay engaged with the beta content in the coming days and put in more hours over the weekend, which will hopefully lead to more feedback and additional improvements to the tabletop card game inspired ARPG.

To note, the process for playing MTG Arena on iOS is very similar to the process that is used to play Magic: The Gathering Arena on Android, and players will need two things to make it happen: a PC that has Magic Arena and Steam installed on it and an iOS mobile device that has the Steam Link Beta App installed on it. With these two things in hand, fans are well on their way to playing Magic: The Gathering Arena on mobile....

No driver is as vocal as Alonso and one of his rivals, Kevin Magnussen had the most brutal analogy for the Spaniard’s antics. The Dane angered Alonso a couple of times with his actions on track during the British GP weekend. When asked about it by Autosport, Magnussen replied, “He does complain a lot on the radio. But, I mean, we see it in other sports as well.” “Even great athletes like Neymar and stuff, they exaggerate a bit....
