Chicago gangster Anthony “Ant” Spilotro brought Cullotta to Las Vegas in 1978 to oversee the legendary robbery crew called the “Hole in the Wall Gang.” Known for bypassing alarm systems by drilling or precision explosives, the crew burglarized between 250 and 300 homes in Las Vegas by 1981....

Our quick take Renault Zoe - 3.5 / 5 Renault Zoe review: Price bug Renault Zoe review: Maths lesson over Renault Zoe review: Stop and go pedal Renault Zoe review: Eco Clio To recap Renault’s electric car pioneer asks you for few compromises compared to a diesel, with government grants its price looks tempting and it’s well equipped and decent to drive.

Despite its latest range of M1 chips having only just been released to the public, Apple is unsurprisingly already looking to push and improve its own-designed processors that now inhabit its new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini. Not willing to rest on its laurels or take a moment to soak in the success of the positive M1 product reviews, a new report indicates that Apple is working hard on a new ARM-based processor that will feature as many as 32 high-performance CPU cores....

Few games get the love the Persona 5 received. Not just in terms of fan reception - the JRPG is beloved but many other games have similarly sized or bigger fan bases - but in terms of how much care and attention it got post-release. It’s not a live service game, and so did not come with new chapters, dungeons, or events in the months and years after release. Instead, it received something much less typical, and as we look ahead to the new Persona projects set to be revealed soon, it’s worth celebrating just how much post-launch love Persona 5 was given....

Even three years after he said it, there’s a quote from PlayStation’s Jim Ryan that continuously comes back to haunt him. Speaking to Time in 2017, Ryan was asked about Sony’s stance on backwards compatibility. In response, Ryan told the story of how he was recently at a Gran Turismo event, and upon seeing how “ancient” the older games looked, thought to himself, “why would anybody play this?” Many have argued that this is dismissing many original PlayStation hits, and feared that this attitude would result in older games being lost to time with no rereleases....

Sony is bringing back PS4 DualShock 4 controller color variants this month, and they’ll be available globally. It’s unclear exactly why the company is opting to do this now, just a few short months before the release of the PS5, but it will surely be a treat for those wanting to get their hands on these previously discontinued color schemes. The news came today from the PlayStation blog, during which Sony shared a video announcing the return of many recent controller colors....

With September just around the corner, Sony revealed the upcoming free games as part of their PlayStation Plus offerings that will be available next week.

The Pokémon series, as we know, has been designed to bring us one of the most accessible and family-friendly RPG experiences out there. As such, players are supported in their endeavor by some super-powerful Key Items, such as the trusty Escape Rope and the arguably game-breaking EXP. Share. For our money, though, no item in the series is a powerful as the Master Ball. This iconic item is the ultimate Poké Ball, capable of instantly capturing any wild Pokémon without fail....

Gengar is one of the strongest Ghost-type Pokémon in the franchise, and it was also one of the first Ghost-type Pokémon to be introduced in Generation 1. Fans love Gengar and not only because it is a very cool Pokémon in design, but also because it is extremely powerful and has many different attacks that it can employ while battling other Pokémon. Players that are looking for some of the best movesets should try some of these out because they will add a unique spin to the powerful and fan-favorite Ghost-type....

Pokémon is a series that puts heavy emphasis on evolution as it is the tangible way players see growth from the experience they gain throughout the game. Many different Pokémon evolve in many different ways, at many different levels. Some are much easier to evolve than others as some creatures require certain items, processes, or high amounts of training to reach their true potential. The process of evolving Pokémon comes in many different forms....

Pokémon GO Fest did not go as well as Niantic would have liked. Hundreds of thousands of Pokémon trainers from all over the world gathered in Grant Park, Chicago last weekend to attend the festival, and everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Firstly, the many thousands of players—and more importantly cell phones—all in one specific location overloaded the cellular towers that served them, meaning that most players couldn’t get any bars....

According to Pokémon Platinum, Croagunk is “popular as a mascot,” although the game’s Pokédex doesn’t say for what sports teams or companies. Pokémon Shield finally settles that mystery and reveals that it’s the mascot for a pharmaceutical company that discovered a diluted form of Croagunk’s poison is beneficial for lower back pain. This has gone a long way to rehabilitating Croagunk and Toxicroak’s reputation for fighting unfairly–also something that was mentioned in Platinum’s Pokédex....

If you chose the Shield version of Pokémon Sword And Shield, then the sixth gym leader standing in your way will be the Ice Gym Leader Melony. While she might have a warm personality, she is cold as ice when it comes to battling. You’ll need more than a warm coat and burning desire to snatch this gym badge up for yourself, so let our guide be your personal Pokedex on all the tips and strategies you’ll need to beat the leader of the Ice Gym....

There’s no shortage of great characters in the Pokemon games. From the brilliant outfits and personalities of the gym leaders, to your clever rivals, and even the cartoonishly evil villain teams, there’s always a steady stream of unique faces to encounter. Many have returned through multiple games, but others are great one-time faces. This is even more true for the Pokemon anime, where nearly every episode has a rare recurring character or a unique opponent for Ash and his friends....

Milo is the first gym leader that players will get the chance to battle in Sword and Shield, and he trains Pokémon that are specifically of the Grass-typing. Although Milo is generally easy to defeat, he is a very interesting person with a ton of backstory and facts that make him a well-developed character. The following facts are things about Milo that most players never got the chance to learn within the generation 8 games and will show players that he is one of the best characters to encounter in the Galar region....

Dragons were once Pokemon’s rarest type. In the original games, only three out of 151 Pokemon fit the bill. Over time, that scarcity has diminished, though it remains relatively uncommon next to, say, Water or Grass. The development of Dragon-type moves has always followed suit. In Generation I, only one Dragon-type move was introduced — Dragon Rage. It did a fixed 40 HP of damage, meaning your trusty Dragonite pal could never earn a Same-Type Attack Bonus (STAB)....
