For years, the NBA has drooled over the possibility of a true league rivalry in New York, and a little more than a month ago, it looked like The Battle for New York would be an entertaining one for years to come. And then the two teams started actually playing. It hasn’t gone so well since. The Nets, expected to be among the top threats to the Heat in the Eastern Conference, are instead just 5-12, and have yet to win consecutive games all year....

Though the maps included in the expansion were revealed some time ago, and fresh Back to Karkand screenshots appeared just last week, Electronic Arts and DICE have now taken the next step and released a trailer for Battlefield 3’s first DLC. Watch as four classic Battlefield 2 maps get a new lease on life, thanks to the awesome power DICE’s Frostbite 2.0 engine. Take a look at the Battlefield 3 Back to Karkand teaser trailer below....

Despite the gameplay of 2014’s Battlefield entry having yet to receive a formal announcement - that’s expected at E3 - it looks as though players will be able to get their hands on Battlefield Hardline sooner rather than later. While the game will be releasing on current and last-gen consoles, PS4 users will be getting the first chance at taking down crime should they attend one of Sony’s E3 events being held in cinemas across North America....

Not to be outdone, Call of Duty’s biggest competitor, Battlefield Hardline, is ramping up for its DLC campaign, which is set to kick off with the launch of the Criminal Activity pack later this month. We don’t know too much about the pack just yet, but developers from Visceral Games – the new team handling Battlefield Hardline’s development – have shared a few early details. As expected, Battlefield Hardline’s DLC pack will include four multiplayer maps, two of which will be set at night....

Given the number of arrivals at the Nou Camp this summer, there is an expectation that there will be a number of departures. One Barcelona player whose future is under speculation is Aubameyang, with Chelsea being a reported potential suitor for the Gabonese striker. However, Xavi seems to want to keep hold of the former Arsenal star, with the experienced forward having only joined the club in January. The Blaugrana boss told reporters (via Fabrizio Romano):...

Trump is 74 years old and the oldest person ever to have been elected U.S. president. Biden is 77 years old. Despite this, Trump has called himself a “perfect physical specimen and extremely young” while referring to Biden as “sleepy” and a “dumb guy” who “doesn’t know where the hell he is.” Trump’s attacks on Biden as low energy and confused are meant to suggest that he lacks the ability to lead the country....

McCarthy doesn’t see Shevchenko being outclassed by any other woman on the roster in terms of overall skill set, including two-division champ Amanda Nunes. In a recent episode of the Weighing In podcast, McCarthy said: Shevchenko and Nunes have fought each other twice, with the latter emerging victorious on both occasions. McCarthy believes that although it was the ‘Lioness’ who got the better of Shevchenko by the smallest of margins, she is not as skilled as the UFC women’s flyweight champion....

Vaccinations for U.S. children between 5 and 11 years old began this week after the U.S. fully approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for the age range. Sesame Street, which has previously launched vaccine ad campaigns, deployed two of its most popular characters to encourage parents to vaccinate their kids. “I got the COVID-19 vaccine today! My wing is feeling a little sore, but it’ll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy,” tweeted Big Bird, a walking, talking yellow bird character who’s supposed to be six years old....

Earlier this week on the CBS show, head of household Monte Taylor nominated “Festie Besties” Indy Santos and Alyssa Snider, putting the two women at risk of leaving the competition. But now the Power of Veto competition has changed everything, and two different houseguests are facing elimination. Newsweek has all the latest on the Big Brother nominations. What Is the ‘Leftovers alliance’ on ‘Big Brother’ 2022? Last week on Big Brother Matthew “Turner” Turner formed what has been dubbed the “Leftovers alliance” with some of his fellow contestants....

The Final Fantasy 14 Announcement Showcase will officially air on February 5 at 5:30 PM PST. No official information about what’s planned to be announced has been revealed yet. All Square Enix is willing to say is that it will be announcing “cool things.” RELATED: Final Fantasy 14 Congratulates Blizzard on World of Warcraft’s Shadowlands Launch While Square Enix isn’t willing to say what it plans to announce, Final Fantasy 14 fans are already near-to-certain what to expect....

A lot of things have been said about unigloved pop deity Michael Jackson, but so far the only person to accuse him publicly of getting high is the moonwalker himself. Last Friday night the singer released a statement in which he announced the cancellation of the remainder of his world tour, saying that his use of unspecified “painkillers” had become an addiction. “It is time for me to acknowledge my need for treatment in order to regain my health,” said the singer, who explained that the medication had been prescribed following a procedure to repair his scalp after his coif burst into flames while filming a Pepsi ad....

For years, Strangis convinced Melngailis he was on a Black Op, working for the government and also working to transport them to a new utopia, where Melngailis’ pet dog Leon could become immortal. In Bad Vegan, audiences meet Will Richards, who helped enforce Strangis’ claims. As a part of Strangis’ scam, Melngailis sent Strangis $1.6 million, the majority of the money coming from her business, Pure Food and Wine, in order to protect him and help him reach the “new utopia....

Rocksteady continued that trend of excellence with Batman: Arkham City and now fans eagerly await the final installment, Batman: Arkham Knight. One of the reasons for the high-level of fan anticipation is that Rocksteady includes allies and villains from the Batman universe as playable characters, each with their own unique style, mechanics and personality. Harley Quinn, a psychiatrist turned super villain, will likely play a large role within Batman: Arkham Knight given her new status and ties to the Joker after the ending of Batman: Arkham City....

[HTML1] As the final chapter in Rocksteady’s Arkham trilogy, it didn’t take long for Batman: Arkham Knight to convince us this would be something special. From the very second the first trailer debuted, DC Comics fans were abuzz and filled with excitement, as they saw a better-looking, darker Batman tale was on the way. However, while much of Batman: Arkham Knight’s promotion has focused on the silky smooth gameplay and new batmobile mechanics of Rocksteady’s new game, the story has been a seemingly closely guarded secret....

Features similar to Battlefield 3’s Battlelog have been found in other popular shooters. Bungie.NET and the upcoming Call of Duty Elite are certainly representative of some of the most popular FPS games, but DICE wants to change things up a bit more with Battlelog. The service will be offering a social networking aspect, allowing players to utilize Battlelog to make and keep up with friends in the game. As a reminder, Battlelog will totally be free for players to utilize, if they so choose....

[HTML1] Sure, for the most part, Battlefield 3’s “Armored Kill” is going to sell on the strength of its steel. Its T-90s. Its LAV-25s. Its DPVs. Its GAZ-3937s. Its ZW-11s. Its F-18s. Its BTRs. And any other weapons of vehicular warfare DICE plans to add with the first-person shooter’s upcoming expansion pack. We’d be remiss, though, if we didn’t account for another staple of Battlefield 3: maps. DICE is touting the new Bandar Desert map as “the biggest map in Battlefield history,” and earlier this August, during Gamescom, the studio rolled out the Alborz Mountains map which is now making same superlatives with beauty....

While this will provide no solace to those PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers who scoffed at Operation Metro as the beta map, it certainly is a big checkmark in the “win” category for PC gamers. And it makes sense since they are the ones getting the 64 player multiplayer experience after all. Some points of note coming from DICE include the fact that this is a stress test and, as such, will see many hiccups along the way....

[HTML2] Before we learn about Battlefield 4, a next-gen game that was showcased for the very first time behind-closed-doors for retail managers last week, there’s one more final piece of downloadable content for Battlefield 3, the fasting-selling game in the Electronic Arts library. Battlefield 3: End Game adds two new game modes, four massive maps, and much, much more, and it arrives this month. Check out the new trailer and 5-minute preview describing the core new features, vehicles and maps coming in the End Game DLC....

[HTML1] Even though the Battlefield franchise has always leaned more towards realism wherever possible, it has also had a great a sense of humor to it. So much so that many gamers have had just as much fun uncovering the various Easter Eggs in the game as they have playing it online. One such Easter Egg that has gained a ton of traction among the Battlefield 4 community involves the Megalodon....
