The Rossoneri scored twice in either half at San Siro to confirm the visitors’ relegation and build momentum ahead of Wednesday’s showpiece encounter in Rome. They will enter the match - in which Juve are looking to triumph for a fourth successive season - with back-to-back Serie A wins in the bank, having ended a six-game winless spell by beating Bologna last weekend. Milan are now in the box seat to secure a Europa League qualifying spot regardless of the Coppa Italia outcome, which Gattuso believes is far from a foregone conclusion....

According to media reports, KKR opener Uthappa had a scuffle with RCB batsman Sarfaraz after the Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Eden Gardens on Saturday. The 17-year-old from Mumbai, bought by RCB this season, was allegedly ‘held by the collar’ by Uthappa. “It is not a major issue. It happens with a lot of people and has happened with him in the heat of things. The media should not blow it out of proportion,” said Gambhir at an event where he donated Rs....

On Monday, conservative commentator Mike Cernovich announced that he would run against Newsom if a recall vote is successful in the state. Cernovich’s announcement came during a livestream video posted on his Twitter account, where he said, “The question is why I would run for governor and the answer is pretty simple.” He added, “There’s no chance in hell that I could win California, zero percent chance that I could ever win in California....

Officials in Sacramento are almost complete with the complicated legal maneuverings to formally place the recall on the ballot, which will allow Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis to set an election date when finalized. A minimum of 60 days away from the day of the election is required for official certification, but no more than 80 days. Many are predicting a mid-September vote for the future of Newsom’s administration. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below:...

The poll, conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California and released on Tuesday, found that 56 percent of voters were against the recall, 40 percent supported it and the remainder were undecided. The recall campaign submitted its petition to the state before the deadline on March 17. About 1.5 million verified signatures are required to trigger a recall and it is likely that enough of the campaign’s signatures will be validated to get the measure on the ballot....

Newsom briefly mentioned critics who launched a recall effort to remove him from office, but his speech mostly presented an optimistic view of a state recovering from an unprecedented pandemic. Coronavirus case numbers in the state have been steadily declining since mid-January. Along with the $600 stimulus checks, Newsom highlighted his administration’s recent approval of a $7.6 billion state stimulus package. The package contains money for food banks and diapers as well as funds for farmworkers and grants for small businesses....

What a shame the senators weren’t treated instead to The Celluloid Closet, from which they would have learned that the defaming of gays on film has a long and ignoble tradition. This smart, ruefully funny documentary, based on a groundbreaking book by the late Vito Russo, examines Hollywood’s depiction of homosexuality from the silent era to “Philadelphia,” decoding a century’s worth of lethal stereotypes and sly subtexts. In a frothier vein, perhaps the politicos should check out The Birdcage, Hollywood’s long-delayed remake of the 1978 French farce, “La Cage aux Folles....

Gayle and Bravo are members of two of the six franchises battling for top honours in the current Caribbean Premier League (CPL) which has attracted leading players from the region and overseas. “It’s a good concept and judging by what I have seen so far, it is working,” said Gayle, captain of the Jamaica Tallawahs. “Players, especially young players, are getting the opportunity to see what it is like to play club cricket at a professional level, and this can only be good for the development of the game going forward....

Accessibility in games has become a growing topic of concern as the medium grows in popularity. Players of various disabilities make up a significant chunk of the gaming community and have spoken out to a greater degree over the past few years. Yet, while companies like Microsoft have developed adaptive controllers to help disabled gamers, many developers still haven’t put a lot of work into the concept. RELATED: Gears 5 Review Roundup...

When Batista was first confirmed for Gears 5, it was unclear if he would be his own distinct character or if he would just be a skin for Marcus Fenix. We know now that Batista is in fact a Marcus skin, available through the Marcus customization menu. This means that Batista has Marcus’s Ultimate ability and stats, so he’s not a completely new character that will shake up the Horde meta as some may have hoped....

For Heroes, Gears 5 now has the likes of Augustus Cole and Clayton Carmine for players to choose from. Like other Gears 5 characters, both Cole and Carmine come with their own unique abilities and weapons. For Villains, Gears 5 Operation 3: Gridiron adds Queen Myrrah to the mix, along with Theron Guard. However, new characters aren’t the only thing for Gears 5 fans to look forward to with Operation 3: Gridiron....

But at E3 2015, Microsoft announced that the Xbox One would be getting backward compatibility for 360 games. This announcement was met with shock, with many fans assuming the hardware for the Xbox One simply prevented the system from playing last gen games, but the Xbox team had managed a workaround and promised a slew of games were to be supported by the new backward compatibility feature. Since the announcement, Microsoft rolled out a small selection of backwards compatible games on June 15th for Xbox Preview members, with games such as Super Meat Boy, Mass Effect, and Alien Hominid getting brought over to the Xbox One....

Fenix has become a fan favorite for his ass-kicking demeanor, bulky build, and battle smarts that’s made him a force to be reckoned with against the Locust. Yet, beyond the over-the-top alpha image, he also contains some depth and demons that make him relatable. He bares some baggage, with his rough upbringing and an even rougher life that unfolds during the 4 main Gears of War games. The grizzled war vet comes with a richer past and character traits than one might think....

Here are some of those characters that fans might want to see more than Jon Snow....

For their study, the NDP Group surveyed over 2,000 individuals and discovered that as few as 15% were planning on purchasing a video game this upcoming holiday season. During their 2009 survey it was found that 20% of Americans were planning on purchasing a game, leaving 2010 with an expected 5% drop in sales. The NPD also just recently released their 2010 gift chart with video games placing at the number eight spot behind clothing, toys, movies, books, electronics, and accessories....

Like its predecessor, the Nintendo DS saw multiple iterations, including the DS Lite, DSi, and Nintendo 3DS line of handheld consoles....

RELATED: Square Enix’s Best Franchises, Ranked (According To Metacritic) In this case, Square Enix remade arguably its most popular game ever, ensuring there is already a huge customer base waiting for the remake. While that is clearly a smart strategy, it is arguably the company’s less-successful titles that would benefit the most from the remake treatment. Whether revisiting an all-time classic or doing justice to a game that failed to live up to its potential, here are some games Square Enix should remake after Final Fantasy 7....
