American McGee is taking us down the rabbit hole again with Alice: The Madness Returns. It has been 10 years since we have had a glimpse of the old Cheshire cat. Similarly for Alice, about 10 years have elapsed since the time period depicted in the original game. I remember fondly American McGee’s Alice. It was dark, foreboding, and violent. It was truly a walk through the mind of someone who had descended into madness, yet still somehow filled with delight....

Six games are being removed from Xbox Game Pass as of February 15, including some of the service’s heavy-hitters.

Since his debut Test where he scored 104 and 60 at Nagpur, he has amassed 12090 more Test runs to enter the league of batting pantheons.

Luis Enrique’s side were beaten on home soil by Alaves in September, but Barca’s famed MSN trio helped set the record straight, with Neymar’s goal taking him above club legend Ronaldinho in the scoring charts. All the goals came in two clusters, with Luis Suarez and Neymar striking within three minutes of each other on the stroke of half-time to ruin what had been to that point a resilient display from Mauricio Pellegrino’s side, who ended the club’s wait for a first Copa final with Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Celta Vigo....

The Belgium international has not featured in the Premier League or the Champions League since his return from a three-month injury lay-off earlier in February, Davinson Sanchez having established himself as a starter. And reports have suggested Spurs may now be open to selling Alderweireld after failing to agree terms on a contract renewal, with a number of rival clubs apparently interested.
