Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander certainly fits with the general feel of Star Trek. The player is thrown into a world where a human civilization has expanded into the galaxy around them, forging ahead with offworld colonies and relationships with other alien beings. The title, from developer Massive Damage, does a great job of setting up this world where human technology - with a little help from alien tech a la Mass Effect - has vastly surpassed what is currently available....

Azarenka, playing in her second tournament after the birth of her son Leo in December, out-hit and out-thought the second-seeded Romanian for much of a pulsating first set, mixing deep groundstrokes with frequent dropshots and forays to the net. But the two-times semi-finalist at the All England Club began to flag in the first-set tiebreak, losing it 7-3 before conceding the next five games. A mini fightback pegged the second-set deficit back to 5-2 before another Azarenka backhand groundstroke error saw Halep home in just under 90 minutes, keeping alive the Romanian’s hopes of a maiden grand slam victory and an ascent to the world number one ranking....

Romanian second seed Halep needed two sets and just over an hour to send Williams packing at the Premier Mandatory tournament on Monday.

Osaka has struggled to convinced since taking the number one spot with a second consecutive grand slam title at the Australian Open in January, while clay-court specialist Halep is in top form in Spain. And Halep now knows she will replace Osaka at the summit if she triumphs this week, having seen the Japanese beaten by Belinda Bencic in three sets. Romanian star Halep, meanwhile, took down Ashleigh Barty 7-5 7-5 to set up a meeting with Bencic....

Rashid last week said he intended to focus solely on shorter, white-ball cricket for Yorkshire this season and Hales has penned a deal until the end of the 2019 season that will see him feature only in 50-over and 20-over formats of the game. Haless decision is likely to strengthen fears that Englands top limited-overs internationals could abandon first class, or red-ball, cricket, which includes five-day Test matches, in favour of playing in lucrative domestic Twenty20 competitions around the world....

Edge gave Half-Life Alyx a 9/10, a very high score. In the past, the Half-Life games have always done well at Edge, with each entry in the franchise receiving relatively high acclaim from the outlet.

While 343 Industries studio head Bonnie Ross announced back in 2017 that the next Halo would have splitscreen co-op, these recent comments are a confirmation that the developer is staying true to that promise. Halo 5: Guardians drew the ire of fans when it did not feature local splitscreen co-op, which had been a series staple feature up until then. The developer said it couldn’t keep splitscreen in Halo 5 because of technical limitations....

Just like Rocket League, the Halo 5 custom map also has tall, curved walls, and it keeps track of players’ goals by putting a type of modifier on the game’s Capture the Flag mode. And while there are similarities, the fan-made creation also has plenty of differences, such as the ability for folks to get out of the Ghosts and shoot at enemies, which certainly adds an interesting dimension of gameplay to the match-ups....

But four months later, the coup still stands. The military gang that took power on Sept. 29 remains in control; the sanctions have only hurt the Haitian poor, made life more difficult for the tiny middle class and enriched the even tinier oligarchy, with which the military runs the country like a plantation. And this month President Bush unilaterally eased the embargo. In effect, he all but threw up his hands....
