When it comes to sandbox first-person shooters and open-world action-adventure video games where you can shoot, destroy, and/or blow up just about anything, few names top Far Cry. Ever since setting the bar for the genre in 2012 with Far Cry 3, the games have gone in a wide variety of directions — from the neon ‘80s movie of the Blood Dragon expansion to the prehistoric spinoff Primal to the rural midwestern slaughter of Far Cry 5. But no matter the setting, a few things are always true for Far Cry games. Players know they’re going to get dozens of hours worth of high-octane action, all while set in a beautiful surrounding and a surprisingly deep cast of characters. Each game is like an extremely violent location to a new locale, and you occasionally meet a questionable person that you’ll ...

GRAMMY Nominee Predictions Shift Following New ‘Album of the Year’ Rule
The GRAMMYs is rolling back a past rule in order to fairly honor all of the individuals who work on music nominated in its Album of the Year category. In 2017, the Academy instated a rule that anyone recognized in an album’s GRAMMY nomination had to be credited with a minimum of 33% of the album’s playing time. Over the past four years, those who didn’t work on at least one-third of playing time couldn’t be nominated, leaving out many of those involved in the making of significant music projects, including featured artists, songwriters, producers, sound engineers and more. Since adopting the 33% rule, the only featured artist that was eligible to receive a nomination for Album of the Year was Kendrick Lamar, Billboard reported. In 2018, Lamar boasted performing credits on five out o...
