This article is written in partnership with MicroProse. Craving an old-school tactical shooter experience? Then set your sights on an exciting new FPS Ground Branch, from one of the developers behind the original Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six. Developed by BlackFoot Studios and published by the simulation wizards at MicroProse, it takes the traditional tactical shooter and dials the realism up to eleven. BlackFoot boasts it puts the “tactical back in tactical shooter,” and they’re not wrong. Ground Branch delivers solo and…

The first single-celled organisms drifted at sea. Then, some 700 million to 800 million years ago, clusters of cells joined together to form Earth’s first multicellular animal. More recently, the animal family tree split into two branches. One lineage gave rise to all other animals on Earth, from brontosauruses to badgers. The other, dubbed “sister of all other animals,” continued its separate evolutionary journey. For more than a decade, scientists have debated…

The evolution of the human eye has long been considered one of biology's more challenging mysteries, drawing debate over the sequence of steps required to turn rudimentary sensitivity to light into a complex photographic system. New research suggests some components of vertebrate vision may not have been shaped incrementally as their genes passed down family lines, but were 'stolen' from entirely different branches of life."At least one innovation that led to the current structure of vertebrate eyes did not occur from…

The new findings will be important to the broader study of fungal evolution, particularly how fungi inherit important biotechnological features like enzymes that break down plant matter.A new study helps clarify the evolutionary origins of the “platypus of fungi.”Approximately 600 seemingly disparate fungi that never quite found a fit along the fungal family tree have been demonstrated to have a common ancestor. The research, which was led by the University of Alberta, used genome sequencing to give these peculiar…

Scientists have discovered a completely new branch on the tree of life. This “supergroup” contains an incredibly diverse range of predatory microbes that are extremely different genetically from any other form of life on Earth.The tree of life is a useful diagram for understanding the relationships between different forms of life, present and extinct. The trunks are made up of three broad groups called domains – Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryota – which then branch into kingdoms such as animals and fungi. From there the…

Blizzard Entertainment has explained how the open-world layout and nonlinear campaign in Diablo 4 will work. In an interview with Diablo 4‘s associate game producer Naz Hartoonian and associate game director Joe Piepiora, NME learned how the upcoming game will branch out with an act-based, nonlinear campaign and an open world for players to explore. Hartoonian explains that the game begins with a prologue that “introduces all of the basic elements that make up the combat system, and basic enemies, that you’re going to…

This has been a good week for the rule of law, the courts and the Constitution.On Thursday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit handed a resounding victory to Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland against former President Trump. The decision rejects the bizarre decision by a renegade federal district court judge, Aileen Cannon, to appoint a special master to review the documents the government seized in a court-authorized search from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.Judge Cannon’s ruling, the appellate court makes clear, was…
