PC GAMING

The second day of E3 2021 has been busy with Xbox and Bethesda’s joint conference followed by Square Enix’s showcase, but plenty more game announcements came from the PC Gaming Show. If you don’t have time to catch up on the whole 90 minutes, we’ve rounded up a few of our highlights of intriguing and upcoming games that you’ll want to wishlist on Steam.

Rawmen

Basically Splatoon but with food, Rawmen is a third-person arena shooter where instead of guns, you fight with food against up to two to eight players. Sling soup at your opponents, become a human meatball by jumping into meat juice and rolling your way back home, or launch yourself in the air with doughnut bombs.

They Always Run

This space Western 2D action game sees you playing a three-armed mutant hunting dangerous bounties across the galaxy. From the visuals, the animation, the music, it’s just

During the past 15 or so months, video games have emerged as a sanctuary for many people. Amidst the Covid-19 lockdowns—and in the absence of mental and emotional outlets like hanging out indoors with friends—games got people through a lot of stressful times. But now, in many parts of the world, vaccines are rolling out and the weather is changing, which means it might be time for a new reprieve: putting down the controller and going outside.

Make no mistake, this is not going to be some essay about how Covid is over and everyone should frolic mask-less out in the streets. Not everyone is vaccinated, and the world is still very much in the throes of a pandemic. But if you are amongst the growing number of people who feel ready to find some semblance of a pandemic-adjusted normal life, you should feel OK about stepping away from your

So much has happened in the second-round series between the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks: a transcendent individual performance, some inexplicably ugly offense, two terrible injuries, several nail-biters, a profoundly brutal blowout, an extraordinary comeback and everything in between. Trying to predict what might happen in Saturday’s Game 7 is something of a fool’s errand, but CBS Sports’ team of NBA writers gave it a shot anyway.

The game will tip off from Barclays Center at 8:30 p.m. ET and air on TNT. Here are our picks, along with brief explanations:  

Game 7: (2) Brooklyn Nets vs. (3) Milwaukee Bucks

Reiter’s take: The Bucks showed what they can do and who they can be in Game 6, and that’ll

Phoenix Suns star point guard Chris Paul has been ruled out for Sunday’s Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against the LA Clippers, the team announced on Saturday.

Paul was placed into the league’s health and safety protocols on Wednesday, and his return to play remains indefinite.

“Because of the climate that we live in, things change from day to day,” Suns coach Monty Williams said Saturday of Paul’s timetable. “I’ve tried to take things one day at a time … but for me, based on the information and based on the history of this particular protocol, everything is day-to-day. And so that’s how I have to approach it. I wish I could tell you a time so you guys wouldn’t have to ask me all the time, but at this point I can’t. It’s pretty much day-to-day.”

It has not been announced if Paul is in the protocols

The Philadelphia 76ers have had several chances to close out their second-round series against the Atlanta Hawks. They led by 18 points in Game 4 and 26 points in Game 5 … and lost both. Winning either would have ended this series in six. Instead, they’ll host Atlanta in a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday. 

It will be the first Game 7 for most of Atlanta’s roster, including Trae Young, whereas Philadelphia’s core trio of Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris still have the memory of their crushing Game 7 loss to the Toronto Raptors in 2019 fresh in their memories. That game was in the second round as well, and the 76ers surely hope to avenge it with a victory today. But Atlanta won’t make things easy on them. They’ve pushed the 76ers to the brink in this series, and now, our experts think they have a real

Every person who lived, worked or played in the NBA bubble in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, last summer was affected by the experience — some rather profoundly. Between the isolation, the separation from friends and family, the inability to escape from the game — or even the Disney campus — the challenges presented by the bubble were unprecedented. And by and large, the teams that were the most successful in the playoffs were those that handled those challenges with the most aplomb.

This season was supposed to be more normal, with games back in home arenas and the ability to see family and friends. But there was nothing normal about this season, either, with its condensed schedule, constant COVID-19 testing, games lost due to health and safety protocols, and of course the rash of injuries to players — especially All-Star players in these playoffs. Just as it was last year,
