First unveiled in November in China, then again last month for Europe, this latest news is confirmation we’ll definitely get the 14in MagicBook on British shores (a 15in version also exists). Honor tends to announce products in regional stages like this but also sometimes just doesn’t bring the products to the UK market – particularly frustrating when we’ve covered it on the grounds that it would. For example, the V30 series of phones still hasn’t seen the light of day in the UK, though that might be to do with their lack of Google services, something Honor and parent company Huawei are still braving with their new handsets....

The offer sees both sizes of MagicBook drop to £600, with the option to throw in a free backpack, sports headphones, Honor Band 5 fitness tracker, or Honor Router 3 – worth up to £80 depending on which you pick. The models on sale are the recent updates to the MagicBook line, which pack in powerful Ryzen 5 4500U processors along with 8GB of RAM and 512GB storage. We’re in the process of reviewing the updated MagicBooks, but the form factor is essentially identical to the original MagicBook from earlier in the year....

The main Heist game mode in Hood: Outlaws & Legends is explained as a PvE and PvP experience in which squads of four tactically attack with a set of character developed skills while another team of four defends with its own skillset and game plan. There is a lot to know about Hood: Outlaws & Legends, and having the best team is very important for success. Being able to play with all platforms would be an ideal scenario via crossplay–and that is what Sumo Digital set off to accomplish....

Some of the finalists were obvious choices — Iowa State’s Monte Morris and Providence’s Kris Dunn — but notably absent from the Hall’s list of finalists was N.C. State point guard Cat Barber, a junior averaging 23.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. Barber ranks eighth among all college basketball players in points per game.

If Maryland’s so lucky, though, how come the Terps had to play Indiana three times this season? MORE: Purdue holds on | Jackson returning to Wisconsin | Badgers survive, advance Every game against the Hoosiers was an adventure for Maryland, from getting housed at Assembly Hall in January to narrowly escaping at home a few weeks later to fighting through Friday night’s harrowing Big Ten quarterfinal before escaping into the semis with a 75-69 victory....

“Preparing a sporting wicket is fine. People have been talking about KKR preparing wickets for spinners but we have been consistent even playing away from home,” Gambhir said ahead of Wednesday’s IPL opener against Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens here. “We would not have won the IPL twice playing only on turning tracks. We have proved that we are a very consistent side winning 14 games on the trot....

Among those who work under the U.S. Soccer umbrella, there has been no one, ever, who is more predisposed to reckless behavior and bombastic stunts. MORE: 10 most dominant athletes at Rio It has been her habit for years. She is as addicted to chaos as a smoker to nicotine. Sounding way too much like Col. Jessup from A Few Good Men, Solo even defended her boorishness in a statement released Wednesday, after the United States Soccer Federation declared she had been suspended sixth months and her contract terminated: “I could not be the player I am without being the person I am, even when I haven’t made the best choices or said the right things....

Champions in name for only a fortnight longer, it will be 12 months on Tuesday since this team picked up title No. 20 against Aston Villa at Old Trafford. A year is a long time in football. This collapse from David Moyes' side against Everton, the one team you thought he could summon a semblance of fighting spirit against, was par for the troubled course this term. United never got close to the hosts....

When players start up Horizon Forbidden West for the first time, the in-game tutorial will point out that the game will auto-save at important moments. This can happen when missions are completed or when certain events take place. The thing is, Forbidden West players won’t be able to manually save until they get through the opening act, and head west (after the opening credits showing Aloy riding a machine across various environments)....

First introduced in Horizon Zero Dawn, the Watcher is one of the earliest machines that Aloy learns to kill, and their upgraded Redeye variants can be found dotted across the Forbidden West, too. With their bright red eyestalk which can blind and blast players from a distance, Redeye Watchers can prove more fearsome than the other small machines that roam the verdant ruins of California. Their constant presence throughout the games signals the growing danger of the rogue AI that created them, as well as the increasingly mortal threat to the human tribes that call the Forbidden West home....

Later, another impressive statistic had been shared that related to deaths at the hands of Horizon Forbidden West’s Clawstriders. 64 percent of players had been killed by a Clawstrider’s melee attacks, while 17 percent died by fire and 19 percent died by acid. Today, Horizon Forbidden West’s newest statistics have been shared in relation to combat with three particular creatures: one being a common machine, another being an incredibly intimidating machine, and the third being a nonantagonistic mammal that is part of the wildlife fauna....

For Horizon Forbidden West, Guerrilla Games has taken that expectation to a whole new level, from both a worldbuilding and narrative perspective. During the later stages of Aloy’s quest to save the biosphere, players will come across one location that exemplifies the destructive tendencies of ancient humans. Referred to as “the Greenhouse,” this dilapidated old-world location provides a dark window into one of the universe’s more prevalent antagonists, Ted Faro....

With the Far Zenith threat dealt with, Regalla’s rebels stopped, and Sylens a part of Aloy’s forces standing against NEMESIS, the next Horizon game is in the market for a new minor antagonist that complicates Aloy’s mission. Sona could perfectly fit this role, forcing Aloy to drop her plans of finding reinforcements and head back to the Nora Sacred Lands in the hopes of reconciling with this influential figure. On the other hand, a new powerful ally that can fill the role of Varl would be a welcomed addition, especially one who will be more concerned about protecting Zo and the child and as a result, will not allow Aloy to take unnecessary risks....

Two games later, both have new life after winning at home in Games 3 and 4. MORE: 10 devastating playoff injuries | Paul breaks finger, could miss a month The Hornets beat the Miami Heat 89-85 in Charlotte and the Trail Blazers beat the Clippers 98-84 in Portland on Monday night. Both series now are tied at two games apiece. Kemba Walker led the way for the Hornets with 34 points on 13-for-28 shooting and backup point guard Jeremy Lin added 21 points off the bench....

Despite missing their leading scorer, the Hornets beat the Cavaliers 106-97 at home Wednesday. The win ended Charlotte’s 17-game losing streak against LeBron James-led teams. MORE: Classic photos of LeBron James Jeremy Lin, who started in place of Walker, scored a team-high 24 points with eight assists and five rebounds. Lin’s career resurgence has helped the Hornets (24-25) remain in the playoff hunt. “Kemba, honestly, is irreplaceable. We all know that,” Lin said, via NBA....

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department (SDSD) released a documentary-style video including the footage to raise awareness of the dangers of opioids like fentanyl. “Fentanyl continues to be one of the greatest threats facing San Diego County and the nation,” the department wrote in the caption of the video. “This synthetic opioid is 50 times more potent than heroin. Just a few grains of fentanyl can be absorbed through the body and lead to respiratory failure and even death....

Unfortunately, Silent Hill HD Collection isn’t a great way to play Silent Hill 2 and 3, and those looking to truly experience the games might consider trying to hunt down a PS2 along with physical copies. While that might be a pain and potentially a little costly, it’s worth it in the end as the HD Collection turned out to be a definitively poor way to experience both classic titles....

Announced on Twitter, the new update ups the Vampyr’s resolution up to 1440p at 60 FPS. There are a few stipulations, though. While the Xbox Series S version of the game also supports 1440p, the game will only run at 30 FPS. Additionally, while there is also support for the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, both versions will only run at 30 FPS. However, the Xbox One X only runs at a resolution of 1296p instead of 1440p....

Similarly, our hero Marty McFly travels to the future in ‘Back to the Future Part II’. There he is attacked by a 3-D holographic shark that is advertising ‘Jaws 19’. Literally! So, what do these 2 iconic Sci-Fi movies have in common? They have Holograms, and the use of hologram technology is not merely place a boo background decorations. They have helped establish a character and also depicted the stories advancement towards future tech....
