EA Sports Every week, it feels like there are more games for more platforms than ever. So, every week, we pick out five games that are worth your time and money. Starting, this week, with fighting games, of both the sporting and the over-the-top kind Pick Of The Week: EA Sports UFC 3 , Friday ($60, PS4 and Xbox One) It took a lot of work, but EA’s simulation of combat sports has finally found itself in GOAT territory . It might be as close as you get to being in the octagon short of UFC fighters coming to your house to beat you up. Which we hope isn’t happening to you, but if it is, see if you can get Nate Diaz’s autograph first? Dissidia Final Fantasy NT , Today ($60, PS4) If you prefer your fighting to involve Final Fantasy characters, try this fighting game/action-RPG hybrid, which is sort of a cross between a traditional 3D fighting game and a party-based RPG brawl where you switch between your squad while the computer controls the others and try to put the other team i...

Newmarket Films By every possible measure, The Passion of the Christ is a “big” movie. It made $612 million on a $30 million budget, was nominated for three Oscars, and it’s the highest-grossing non-English language film of all-time. But is it the biggest film in history? Nope. That would be The Passion of the Christ 2 , apparently. In an interview with USA Today , Jim Caviezel remarked that he’s on board for Mel Gibson’s proposed Passion sequel, which is tentatively called The Resurrection . “There are things that I cannot say that will shock the audience,” he said. “I won’t tell you how he’s going to go about it. But I’ll tell you this much, the film he’s going to do is going to be the biggest film in history. It’s that good.” Caviezel was light on specific details about The Resurrection , although he did offer, “ Braveheart , that’s a film that took a long time to be able to crack. The same thing for Passion . And the same thing for this. He’s finally got it. So that is comin...

Getty Image Despite publicly saying that he has nothing to hide regarding the Russia investigation, President Trump reportedly tried to have Special Counsel Robert Mueller fired a month after he was hired. He has also gone to great lengths to discredit potential witnesses from the FBI and the Justice Department, as well as generally muddying the investigative waters. In yet another example of the president’s trying to run circles around everyone else, Trump has reportedly floated the possibility of having Jeff Sessions prosecute Mueller in order to delay the special counsel’s investigation. According to NBC News, Trump mentioned his idea among those in his inner circle: Trump is even talking to friends about the possibility of asking Attorney General Jeff Sessions to consider prosecuting Mueller and his team. “Here’s how it would work: ‘We’re sorry, Mr. Mueller, you won’t be able to run the federal grand jury today because he has to go testify to another federal grand jury,...

Getty Image The fallout of former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar’s sexual assault convictions includes allegations of a far more wide-ranging, even systematic, pattern of covering up sexual misconduct at Michigan State University , and the forced resignation of USA Gymnastics’ board . On Tuesday, these consequences grew even larger when Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the state law enforcement agency to open an investigation into Karolyi Ranch , the training camp located in Huntsville, Texas used by the nation’s top gymnasts. According to ESPN, USA Gymnastics severed ties with the Karolyi Ranch earlier this month after victim impact statements at Nassar’s sentencing revealed he had assaulted multiple victims while they were training there. On Tuesday, Gov. Abbott announced the state’s own investigation in a letter to the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety: “The public statements made by athletes who previously trained at the Karolyi Ranch are gutwrenching...

Getty Image There’s something about the way Nusret Gökçe, AKA Salt Bae , sprinkles seasoning that just gets everyone going. Not only is he pretty hot, he’s got some high profile celebrity friends , and, now, a NYC restaurant. He looks great doing what he does and while we could watch him all day, apparently not everyone was fully pleased with their visits to Salt Bae’s steak house. According to reviews, the food is largely “aight,” but the experience is definitely one to write home about. Actor Luke Evans recounted the story of his visit to the restaurant on The Late Late Show With James Corden — likening the Turkish chef to the Messiah because of the way people were fanning out over him and passing them their babies as if he might to bless them. Everything is much more funny when it’s said with a British accent, and Evans’s account of people going to the restaurant to see Bae do “this bizarre thing which ten and a half million people love” instead of visiting because of the f...

Universal The Purge horror movie franchise imagines a United States where, one night a year, Americans are free to slaughter each other at will with no ramifications whatsoever. This seemed like a ridiculous concept when the series debuted 2013, less so in 2018, to the point where the poster for the upcoming fourth Purge movie, The First Purge, is sure to give some people a legitimate sense of disquiet. Universal tweeted out the promotional image for the film, which will premiere on the 4th of July. It features one of Donald Trump’s infamous campaign hats, with its ‘Make America Great Again’ slogan replaced by ‘ The First Purge .’ #TheFirstPurge pic.twitter.com/pAPTJLcIBt — The First Purge (@UniversalHorror) January 30, 2018 The First Purge is set to take us back before the earlier movies to show us the conditions that led to Purge nights becoming an accepted part of American society. And while established Purge canon has the totalitarian New Founding Fathers of Ame...

Uproxx The last day of January is going to see an extremely rare moon — a massive traffic jam of celestial phenomena all piling up at once. NASA calls it the “ super blue blood moon ” and while that sounds like a badly translated anime title, it all makes sense when you know what each word represents. Below you’ll find details about this bizarre moon, broken down by parts, plus how you can best see it and how to get a great picture of it. What it is Let’s start by unpacking each bit of the phrase “super blue blood moon:” “Super” means it’s a supermoon: As we explained back in November , a supermoon is unusually close to the earth, and thus looks larger in the sky. This supermoon will be 14% brighter than normal. “Blue” means it’s a blue moon: The blue doesn’t refer to color; a “blue moon” is when there are two full moons in the same month. Hence the old-timey saying “Once in a blue moon.” The “blood” is due to a lunar eclipse: Since the moon will be in the Earth’s sh...
