Stalker 2 is a beefy game, which means its main story is a long and winding road even if you’re not engaging with its optional content much. And though that main story certainly does take its time to really get going, by the time it is approaching its conclusion, there’s little doubt left that thins have well and truly kicked into gear, and that the stakes are enormously high. Of course, like its predecessors, Stalker 2 is also a game that tells its story collaboratively with the players, so the way it ends is very much in your hands.
The game features four different endings, and which of the four you get is dependent on what choices you’re making at specific critical junctures, which in turn also determines not only how a number of…

The first clash of 2020/21 between the two teams which finished in top two positions in the last two seasons in the Premier League will take place at the Etihad on Sunday, when Manchester City play host to Liverpool in the eighth round of the campaign. Both have suffered some strong disappointment early, through unexpected defeats and potentially crippling injuries, but both seem to have shaken it off and are currently on a fine run.

Having won the Carabao Cup last term, Pep Guardiola s team ended 2019/20 in a largely underwhelming fashion. They lost the Premier League title to Liverpool by 18 points, they were knocked out of the FA Cup in the semifinal at the hands of Arsenal under the command of Guardiola s former ass…
According to a recent report from Calciomercato, Italian side AC Milan are interested in joining the race for Joachim Andersen’s signature. It’s no secret that the Danish defender is a wanted man, with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan expressing their interest in him in the past. Milan want to bring someone in to partner Alessio Romagnoli, with Andersen being situated towards the top of their wish list. The 22 year old has been with Sampdoria since back in 2017 when he made the jump over from FC Twente, and he’s made quite the impression ever since then. The expectation is that he’ll also be called up to the Denmark senior squad sooner rather than later.
Milan haven’t been big players in the realm of European football for quite a few years now, but if th…
Kylian Mbappe has been left out of Paris St Germain’s pre-season tour of Japan.
The squad that will accompany new boss Luis Enrique on the plane on Saturday was announced on Friday evening, with Mbappe’s name conspicuous by its absence.
The France star revealed earlier this summer that he would not sign a new contract at the Parc des Princes.

Mbappe added that he was planning to play for PSG during the forthcoming season to see out his deal but that would mean him leaving for free next summer.
Mbappe, who has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid, did play for PSG in a friendly against Le Havre on Friday, scoring the second goal in a 2-0 victory.
His 16-year-old brother…
Spain reached their first men s Olympic football final since Sydney in 2000 with a 1-0 win over host nation Japan after extra-time.
Real Madrid s Marco Asensio proved the difference in the 116th minute as he whipped past Koshei Tani to set up a final clash with defending champions Brazil on Saturday.
Mikel Merino nodded the first chance of the game wide before Rafa Mir, whose hat-trick powered his side into the semi-finals, should have opened the scoring but the forward poked into goalkeeper Tani s legs.
Merino thought he had atoned for his earlier miss by winning a second-half penalty but VAR intervened, deeming Maya Yoshida to have played the ball first.
Mikel Oyarzabal scuffed the final opportunity of normal time before Daizen Maeda headed agonising…
Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking will ignore Borussia Dortmund s poor position in the Bundesliga ahead of their clash on Wednesday.
Dortmund s plight has been one of the shocks of the 2014-15 Bundesliga campaign so far with Jurgen Klopp s men sitting 16th in the table, the relegation play-off spot.
The North Rhine-Westphalia-based club have finished in the top two for the previous four seasons in Germany s top flight, including winning titles in 2010-11 and 2011-12, but have only managed four wins this term with two games before the winter break.
Despite that, Hecking will not take Klopp s side lightly, claiming there are signs Dortmund are still the powerhouse from seasons past.
What kind of game do I expect? I expect to play against a really strong oppo…
“If I wasn’t aiming to break into the Arsenal first team, that wouldn’t be the correct mindset. I am just at the beginning. I want to get to the very top”.
Those are the words of Reiss Nelson, who is currently on loan at German cub Hoffenheim from Premier League side Arsenal. The 19 year old, who made his professional debut back in 2017, is widely considered to be one of the brightest youngsters on the books at the Emirates. His recent loan spell away with Hoffenheim seems to have done him the world of good, too, because not only is he playing well, but he’s also raising his stock for when he makes his return to Arsenal. At this moment in time it certainly seems like Lacazette and Aubameyang are still the clear number one and two in regards to starting strikers for th…
Germany defender Mats Hummels has never seen anything like the depth France have at their disposal.
World champions Germany face France on Tuesday in a friendly, with both teams considered among the favourites to win next year s World Cup in Russia.
Germany beat France in the quarter-finals en route to glory at the 2014 World Cup, but Les Bleus gained revenge in the last four at Euro 2016, only for the tournament hosts to lose 1-0 to Portugal in the final.
France have benefited from seemingly having a conveyor belt of young talent coming through the ranks and Bayern Munich centre-back Hummels is extremely impressed by their strength in depth.
They have an incredible breadth of young players, I ve never seen anything like that at the level, Hummels told B…
Argentina striker Carlos Tevez declared he had moved on from his missed penalty at the 2011 Copa America after converting the winning spot-kick against Colombia.
In a dramatic finale to Argentina s quarter-final in Vina del Mar, five penalty-takers failed to score before Tevez kept his cool to secure victory.
At the same stage four years ago, Tevez was the only Argentine to miss a penalty as Uruguay triumphed 5-4 in a shoot-out to eliminate the Copa America hosts.
That miss prompted Argentina coach Gerardo Martino to push the 31-year-old forward down his shoot-out order in the hope the new Boca Juniors signing would not be required, but Tevez insisted history was not on his mind when he faced off against Colombia goalkeeper David Ospina.
This is for my t…
Nottingham Forest have launched a bitter attack on referees chiefs after they were denied three penalties during their costly 2-0 Premier League defeat at Everton.
Forest were furious not to be awarded spot-kicks by Anthony Taylor for challenges on Giovanni Reyna and Callum Hudson-Odoi by Ashley Young, who in the meantime had looked fortunate to escape a handball decision with VAR official Stuart Attwell backing the referee.
Minutes after the final whistle, the relegation-threatened club posted on X: “Three extremely poor decisions – three penalties not given – which we simply cannot accept.
Three extremely poor decisions – three penalties not given – which we simply cannot accept.
We warned the PGMOL that the VAR is a Luton fan before the game …
