He also shot 8-of-13 from the field while Tyus Jones and Cook combined for 26 points as the duo attacked the rim to go to the line a combined 18 times.

Gonzaga shared the ball well as the doubled Iowa’s 10 assists in the game to complete the route.

And in the previous round, the Bulldogs faced the tough UCLA Bruins in Texas. They withstood excellent games from Tony Parker and Norman Powell and countered with four players reaching double figures in scoring.

‘King’s Quest’ 2015 Release Date on PS3, PS4, Xbox One, 360: A Re-Imagining of an Old Classic

The world’s first animated adventure game ever made for PC is making a comeback. In this age of reboots, a re-imagining of “King’s Quest” is being developed by The Odd Gentlemen and will be published by Sierra Entertainment. It is scheduled to be released between the third and fourth quarters of 2015.

King's Quest Trailer Screenshot YouTube/IGN

Christian Post Report – A screenshot of the reveal trailer of King’s Quest.

“King’s Quest” 2015 is actually not a sequel to the “King’s Quest” franchise. The franchise, according to the IGN report, has produced seven sequels, the last being “King’s Quest: Mask of Eternity” published in 1998. The upcoming game is still very much an adventure game, with King Graham of Daventry as the main protagonist. In the game, he is an old man telling his adventure stories to his granddaughter Gwendolyn.

His adventures are presented as flash back episodes where the player needs to solve puzzles in order to proceed. The old game series used point-and-click gestures, but the new game features third-person action/adventure controls.

“At its heart, though, it’s still very much a pure adventure game that relies on wits (and perhaps some trial and error) to solve fiendish puzzles. Objects in the game world are context sensitive, letting you know with an on-screen prompt whether they can be examined (from a first-person perspective, no less), picked up, or otherwise manipulated,” IGN reported.

Another feature of the game is the many ways that one can solve a puzzle or destroy an enemy. Everything a player does in the game will have consequences, which the player must live with throughout the game’s duration.

IGN’s initial preview of the game noted the game’s “gorgeous” graphics. The review says: “It evokes the whimsy and cartoonish aesthetics of the original games with a modern cinematic flair. Animated sequences wove so seamlessly with the gameplay that the effect was like watching a beautifully lush CG cartoon rather than a game.”

A demo of the game on PlayStation 4 was featured during the GDC 2015. The game will be available for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Independence Day 2 Cast News: Vivica Fox Confirmed to Return

American actress Vivica Fox has signed up to reprise her role in the sequels to 1996’s “Independence Day.”

Christian Post Report – 20th Century Fox has confirmed Vivica Fox will be making a return run as exotic dancer, Jasmine Dubrow for the June 24, 2016 “Independence Day” sequels.

Director Roland Emmerich himself, who directed the first highly popular film, posted news of Fox’s casting on Twitter. She is joining the other original members of the cast returning to the film, including Jeff Goldblum’s MIT science geek character, David Levinson, and Bill Pullman’s President Thomas Whitmore.

Fox will be reprising her role as Will Smith’s character, Captain Steven Miller’s girlfriend, who becomes his wife in the first movie. Smith himself has not signed on to do the sequels after Fox refused to pay his $50 million asking fee.

The two-part sequels, to be titled “ID Forever Part 1” and “ID Forever Part II” is set 20 years after the events of the original film, and details a plotline where alien reinforcements of the ones killed off two decades before return to earth following a distress call.

A new cast of characters has also been announced for the sequels, including Liam Hemsworth, who will be playing the son-in-law of Bill Pullman’s former President Whitmore character, Jessie Usher, as the son of Vivica Fox and Will Smith’s characters, and Charlotte Gainsbourg in an as yet unannounced role.

With the original film grossing over $817 million in the box office, the film’s sequels will be facing a tough uphill battle attempting to duplicate that financial feat, particularly without Smith’s rebellious insouciance that was partly responsible for making the first film a blockbuster.

Screenplay for the fantasy sci-fi action sequel will be written by Emmerich and Dean Devlin.

HTC One E9 Specs News, Rumors: New ‘Cheaper’ Android Flagship Appears In Live Images

After the One M9 that was announced earlier this month, it looks like there are more devices from the Taiwanese manufacturer than everyone expected.

Christian Post Report – First on the list is the One M9 Plus, which is already expected to make an appearance in an April 8 event in China.

Dubbed as the “More than One,” event, the company will finally unveil the QHD-powered HTC smartphone.

But while everyone was expecting just two devices from HTC to rival the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge from Samsung, it seems the Taiwan-based company has other things in mind.

In a recent report, the One E9 appeared out of the blue. The reports came from GSM Arena that showed a number of leaked live images of the rumored handset.

Last year, HTC unveiled its One E8 lineup, which is a cheaper version of its then flagship, the One M8. Aside from getting an identical design, the innards are also similar.

However, in order to make the device cheaper than the flagship, HTC used polycarbonate plastic instead. For HTC fans since the Sensation and One X days, they will surely love the feel of the One E8.

And now, the E9 could be announced very soon.

Based on rumors, the HTC One E9 will depart from its predecessor and hold its own as an Android phablet. Rumored specs include a 5.5-inch display with QHD or 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution, 3GB of RAM, a 32GB built-in memory, BoomSound speakers and Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.

Rounding up the rumored spec sheet are the 20MP primary camera at the back and the 4MP UltraPixel shooter in front.

In the report, the HTC One E9 has just received TENAA certification in China, which means an actual release date is just around the corner.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge chat with young people and hear their stories during a visit to the XLP London bus, a mobile youth centre parked in the Hazel Grove estate in Sydenham, London.

Christian Post Report – Kate Middleton, who has a month to go before she gives birth to her second child, attended three engagements in one day on Friday, March 27 in South East London. This marks the Duchess of Cambridge’s final public appearances before she goes on maternity leave.

The Duchess and her husband Prince William took a tour of the Stephen Lawrence Centre, a place for community learning and social research. The community center was named after Lawrence, who was killed in a racially motivated attack while waiting for a bus in London in April 1993.

For the event, the 33-year old royal donned a hot pink Mulberry coat and accessorized with black pumps. The Prince donned a navy, single breasted suit which he teamed with a purple tie.

Baroness Doreen Lawrence of Clarendon accompanied their Royal Highnesses during the tour. The Duke and Duchess then met with SLIK (Stephen Lawrence Instills Knowledge) Magazine editors in the PC room who are working on The Write Way project, a digital magazine and website project which offers young people aged 16 to 26 the opportunity to create, design, and manage a digital magazine and interactive website.

Before leaving, the couple signed the visitors’ book and the Duchess was given a bouquet of flowers.

Next, the royals visited XLP, “The Excel Project”, a Christian charity which works with disadvantaged young people that has an emphasis on being faith-based, but not faith-biased. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met key volunteers and supporters of the organization as well as young people from each of the boroughs XLP supports. They also visited an XLP community bus and the XLP mobile recording studio on the Hazel Grove Estate.

Last week, the Duchess revealed at another event that her second child will arrive by “mid-to-end” of April.
