Aragami 2 Review – Shadow Dancer

Interpreting stealth as a power fantasy, Aragami 2 deploys the shadows as a literal weapon, not merely as somewhere to hide. One ability discharges tendrils of black mist from your fingertips to grab a nearby enemy and fling them headfirst into your fist, knocking them unconscious. Such powerful abilities emphasize a proactive approach to stealth that’s less about waiting for a window of opportunity to open and more about knocking a hole in the wall. With a lean, stylish aesthetic complementing minimalist mission design, Aragami 2 succeeds in making you feel like a daring and deadly shadow warrior, even if it eventually falls victim to repetition and a lack of variety.

Afflicted by a mysterious force that corrodes the body and devours the mind (most people woul…

Arnold confident of Mariners win

Coach Graham Arnold believes Central Coast Mariners can bounce back from their A-League exit last Saturday by beating Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma on Wednesday night.

The Mariners will meet their AFC Champions League rivals at the Tancheon Sports Complex in Seongnam, and Arnold believes that despite the Korean s strong home record in Asia s premier club competition, his team is well positioned to win the crucial Group G clash.

Indeed, Seongnam have not lost at their 16,000 all-seater stadium in the AFC Champions League since 2004, when they were crushed 5-0 by Saudi side Al Ittihad in the second leg of that season s final.

And, Shin Tae-yong s charges can take pride in the fact they have triumphed in 10 of their last 12 home matches in the competition.

But Arno…

Potter urges Chelsea to build on Leeds win ahead of ´massive´ Dortmund clash

Graham Potter sees Chelsea s 1-0 win over Leeds United as something to build on ahead of a massive Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.

Wesley Fofana s first Premier League goal eased the pressure on head coach Potter following a miserable run of one win in 11 matches.

Chelsea had suffered three consecutive defeats without scoring a goal before stopping the rot against relegation-threatened Leeds at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The Blues face Dortmund at home in the Champions League on Tuesday, needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit in order to reach the quarter-finals.

Potter hopes a much-needed win over lowly Leeds will just be the start.

He told BBC Sport: I m delighted for the players and supporters. We ve had to suffer. It s been a chall…

Conte eyes double to seal Juve status

Antonio Conte believes that winning the double this season would prove that Juventus Serie A triumph last season was no coincidence.

The club were crowned Italian champions without losing a match in 2011-12, but the 43-year-old is determined to show that his side are creating a lasting legacy.

Winning the Scudetto can be a one-off, but doing the double means that we are building something truly important here, he told reporters.

The Champions League is also a wonderful dream that we should keep chasing. However, we must also know how to be patient and focus on our project of growth.

Juventus host Sampdoria on Sunday as they return to domestic action, and the former Siena boss urged his side to remain alert and prepare for the game properly.

You can´t be sad, you have to be angry – Mourinho wants to see a different side to Tottenham

Jose Mourinho told his Tottenham side to get angry after being left disappointed by the reaction in the dressing room to Wednesday s defeat at Manchester United.

The Portuguese s first return to Old Trafford as a coach since being sacked by the Red Devils a year ago ended in disappointment as Marcus Rashford s double either side of Dele Alli s equaliser condemned him to a first defeat since taking the reins at Tottenham.

After the game, Mourinho described the atmosphere among the Spurs squad as sad , and he wants to see a different response from the team when they suffer setbacks.

I saw a sad dressing room, a sad bus and a sad plane, and that s not what I like after a defeat, he said on Friday.

I think after a defeat you can t be sad. You have to be mor…
