Red Card
Electronic Arts has removed Russia and Belarus from the list of countries eligible to participate in its Global Electronic Sports Tournaments.
In other words, gamers and teams from these countries are not allowed to participate, and are in fact banned from all international competitive activities of FIFA 22 and the action game Apex Legends, until further notice. , Due to the invasion of Ukraine.
Donors and games
More than a hundred titles for only $ 40?
And all proceeds will be donated for the citizens of Ukraine?
We do not remember such a deal for a very long time (if at all), and certainly not for a worthy purpose.
The humblebundle digital store, which regularly offers computer game packages at ridiculous prices, has launched a pack of 123 titles (mostly games, but there are also digital books, apps and software) called Stand With Ukraine, which sells for $ 40, but anyone who wants is welcome to donate more.

The site promises that all the money raised by March 25 will be donated to humanitarian organizations working for Ukraine (as of this writing, the amount is about two million dollars), and without exaggeration we found quite a few classic treasures like Max Payne 3, Sunset Overdrive, Metro Exodus, Fable Anniversary, Quantum Break and even the relatively new and successful Back 4 Blood, which came out in late 2021.
All of these computer games, and dozens more, can be yours for a minimum donation of $ 40, while the value of the entire package is estimated at 2,572 greens.
It could not be more lucrative than that.
The school year will open as usual
Good news: Hogwarts Legacy, one of the most anticipated games of the year, has ultimately not been postponed to 2023 and is expected to be released this fall for all consoles and PC.
For those who are out of date, this is a massive role-playing game in the open world, which takes place at Hogwarts of the 19th century.
The actors will play students in their fifth year at the Wizarding School where Harry Potter will one day also study.
But why read dry descriptions when you can watch the game's first gameplay video, which was shown last week as part of a Sony unveiling event?
Impressive is not a word.
PS: Although Hogwarts Legacy will feature entirely new plot lines that will be part of the official Harry Potter canon, it has been reported that JK Rowling is not involved in title development, not even at the script level.
Between intentions
We have a warm corner in our hearts for Sniper Elite, the tactical shooting games that take place during World War II.
While they are not particularly high quality and some tend to define them as a "voice of duty to the poor with a sniper rifle", there is no denying that it is great fun to snipe Nazis from a distance of hundreds of meters and watch the bullet fly from the moment it is fired Clearly aesthetic, in its purpose.

However, it was recently announced that the Sniper Elite 5, which will take place on French soil in 1944, will arrive on the PlayStation, Xbox and PC on May 26, and the developers at Rebellion promise a more realistic "killing camera" than ever (sure you really need it the most realistic?), And a new option of sloping down a sloping roof, because every cunning sniper needs a proper escape plan.
We'll be on that roof, that's for sure.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
