Whether it’s a sequel from an annualized racing series or an expansion pack to a well-received game, there’s comfort in the familiar–and, potentially, boredom as well. Dead Kings, the first downloadable content for Assassin’s Creed Unity, is an unfortunate example of the perils of taking the beaten path and the design bugs that go with it. So it’s a minor blessing that protagonist Arno Dorian returns without a thirst for vengeance or a love interest to protect, his two motivations from the main game. All he wants to do is leave late 18th century Paris…almost as much as I do.

It is from a “one last heist” premise that Dead Kings springs forth. Without the need for money or emotional attachments to complicate the situation, Arno comes into the job as a brooding ex-assassin who just wants to get away from all the dark memories of his time in the city. This is also why Dead Kings is set in the Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis rather than in Paris proper. Safe passage to Egypt is …

Multi-platinum rapper and performing artist Bad Bunny made his Wrestlemania debut at Wrestlemania 37 on Night 1 in a tag team match with Damien Priest against The Miz and John Morrison. Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, had already made a splash in the company capturing its 24/7 Championship and even taking it to SNL.

The match started with a grand entrance with dozens of Easter Bunnies before Miz and Morrison hit the ring. Priest came down to the ring with standard fair, but Bunny came out riding on top of a semi-truck. Bunny started the match off against Miz and managed to get some offense in against the former WWE Champion. He managed to hit a flying crossbody on his opponents on the outside.

Eventually Bunny nailed a top rope crossbody with help from Priest lifting Miz on his shoulders, almost like the Legion of Doom preparing for the Doomsday Device to pin Miz for the win.

The lead into this Wrestlemania match started a few months back as …

The Lara Croft who appears in Shadow of the Tomb Raider has made a ton of discoveries, lost a lot of friends, and killed countless living beings. She has incredible drive and self-confidence, and her enemies fear her. It’s taken a lot for the character to get to this point, and if you’ve been along for the ride since her excellent revival in 2013’s Tomb Raider, you may be pleased to hear that Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the same style of experience we first saw in 2013, only bigger and with more added to it. In fact, there’s seemingly very little, if anything, that’s changed dramatically or been discarded from the formula. But while that means Shadow retains a lot of the components that give Tomb Raider that fantastic, timeless sense of wonder and discovery, it also means that Tomb Raider’s interpretation of blockbuster action-adventure mechanics is starting to feel half a decade old.

It’s a little unnerving to spend time with the seasoned Lara of Shadow of the Tomb…

With just a few months to go before Halo Infinite releases this holiday, it appears Microsoft is gearing up to showcase the title in a big way this summer. Halo community manager John Junyszek said on Twitter that the studio is preparing for “larger beats” than blog posts, going on to say there is some “summer sweetness” coming up for the game. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

Junyszek said the next Inside Infinite blog post will focus on the Halo Waypoint team and what they are doing to support Halo Infinite. But as for the in-depth Ask343 video series, that’s going on a mini-hiatus, it seems, as the studio focuses on preparing Halo Infinite for release. The next Ask343 video will focus on Halo Infinite’s PC edition, and this video will be released “when it works best for the team,” Junyszek said.

British bookmaking giant Betfred has reportedly spent an unspecified amount of cash so as to purchase a majority shareholding in South African counterpart LottoStar Proprietary Limited.

According to a Friday report from a source, the Warrington-headquartered operator is already responsible for 53 retail wagering shops in South Africa and spent some $8.7 million in June of last year so as to acquire the online sportsbetting domain at BettingWorld.co.za after previous owner Phumelela Gaming and Leisure Limited filed for bankruptcy protections.

Expanding enterprise:

Established in 1967 by English entrepreneur Fred Done, Betfred currently operates well over 1,500 retail betting shops spread across the United Kingdom while its Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited subordinate is reportedly responsible for the online sportsbetting domain at Betfred.com. The operator purportedly also recently launched into Spain’s growing iGaming market while entering the embryonic sports wagering…
