Platform: Xbox One (also available on PS4, Nintendo Switch and Steam) Developer: Metalhead Softward Publisher: Metalhead Software Released: May 13 Price: $44.99 As has been the case with previous versions of the series, SMB3 offers great pick-up-and-play qualities with just enough real baseball feel to satisfy casual gamers. However, with the EGO difficulty system you can find a sweet spot for yourself every aspect of the gameplay. There is just a touch of room for improvement in this concept. If you’re looking for the toughest challenge, and a more skill-based experience, crank the EGO system up. If you want something with a little less bite, but still solid baseball mechanics, and fun, go just a few notches above the default setting. Overall, the flexibility is the draw. The pitching mechanic is pretty basic, but there is a definite skill and timing component to getting ideal placement, and judging the break of your pitches. This has to be done while also fooling the hitter. The requisite game-within-a-game concept is clear in the pitcher-to-batter dynamic. I liken this experience to what it used to feel like to master the grappling system in the old Nintendo WWE and WCW wrestling games from AKI. It seemed really basic, but there was a way to get better at it, and thus you had the skill gap most people want when playing video games. I also love how simplified running the bases is on a whole in SMB. This piece has been far too complicated in other baseball titles. In SMB3, you can do just about everything you need to do to advance runners with two buttons. The connection between what was on the screen and the commands my hand needed to enter just seemed logical. Simply put, the game is a joy to play from a structural standpoint. Stylishly Clever and Comedic Visuals In the same way that Fortnite perfectly captures its objective with visuals, SMB 3 nails their comedic caricatures on the diamond. The players are comically drawn, but it doesn’t look as if it’s done in the place of realism. The style is a choice, and it comes off beautifully. Secondly, the stadiums have taken a major step in the right direction. The different times of day have an obvious effect on the visual presentation, and no other game looks quite like SMB3. Customization is King Any sports game that doesn’t offer a pro league license has to deliver with major customization options, and SMB 3 comes through in this area. Whether it’s player or team creation and editing, you have the tools to make your own experience and league. Also, the ability to change the structure of a league, and to customize the newly announced Pennant Race mode adds more layers to what was already a strong set of options for creators. Franchise Mode Many times games with this sort of look won’t have deeper game modes like franchise, and even if they do, there will be very little depth. That isn’t the case with SMB3. The depth offered in this year’s franchise mode can rival almost any sports game on the market. Players will age, retire and experience free agency as you try to guide a team through multiple seasons. Metalhead took a different spin on trading, and it is interesting. Each player will perform on a one-year deal with an option to return. I can see other sports games offering this as a fun and alternative way to play franchise. It fits well with SMB3 because while it is a baseball game, it is not bound by a responsibility to hold true to MLB, and Metalhead Software is wise to create some fresh concepts without straying too far from the sport. The Bad Let’s be honest, there is very little wrong with SMB3. “The bad” section is more of a wishlist for SMB4 than a hardline critique. That said, here we go. Create-A-Ballpark Would Have Been Killer One feature MLB The Show doesn’t have and many fans have been asking Sony San Diego Studios to produce is Create-A-Ballpark. I never mentioned that feature in conjunction with SMB because quite honestly, it seemed to be too big. However, as you take in what the development team has accomplished in the latest game, it seems like a feature within their grasp. Had SMB3 had this feature, it might have vaulted itself to the head of the class as it pertains to customization suites. EGO Issues If I do have a gripe with the EGO system it’s that it isn’t dynamic. The innovative difficulty system is supposed to help you find the right challenge for yourself, but I contend the only way to do that is with dynamic difficulty. As it stands, EGO functions more like a traditional difficulty metric, only it has more settings than simple rookie, pro, veteran, all-star, superstar, and Hall-of-Fame.

Karl Benz built the first car in 1885, and since then many thousands of companies have sprung up trying to make a name for themselves. But few have survived and here we take a look at how some of those survivors (plus a few that didn't make it) got started. Sometimes things are a lot more convoluted than you think though, with some companies claiming two (or even three) first cars… In chronological order, let's take a look at the first car made by every major carmaker:

Bulgaria's oldest city Plovdiv has been officially inaugurated as the European Capital of Culture for 2019. Plovdiv claims to be the oldest continually inhabited European city, with more than 6,000 years of history. Plovdiv's architectural landmarks dating back to Thracian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman times help prove the ancient age of this Balkan city. Some 50,000 people gathered at the central square Saturday to watch the opening show. Squeezed between the Balkan and the Rodopi Mountains, Bulgaria's second-largest city - behind the capital of Sofia - has survived for thousands of years on the crossroads between Western Europe and the Middle East. The city on both sides of the Maritsa River is also known for its ethnic diversity. Many of its 340,000 inhabitants belong to the country's Turkish, Roma, Armenian, Greek and Jewish minorities, all of which have quite a strong influence on the city's vibrant cultural life. Some 350 cultural events are scheduled in Plovdiv this year, including an exhibition featuring fragments of the Berlin Wall to mark 30 years since its fall. Fun facts about Plovdiv The city has historically developed on seven syenite hills, some of which are 250 metres high. Because of these, Plovdiv is often referred to in Bulgaria as "The City of the Seven Hills. Called Pulpudeva in Thracian times, it was renamed Philippopolis in 341 BC after its conquest by Philip II of Macedonia. From AD 46 it was called Trimontium and was the capital of the Roman province of Thrace. In the old Trimontium quarter of the city, parts of the Roman walls remain. The medieval ruins of Tsar Ivan Asen II’s fortress and Bachkovo monastery are nearby. Plovdiv repeatedly changed hands during the Middle Ages until 1364, when it was taken by the Turks, who called it Philibé. With the establishment of Bulgaria in 681, the city became an important border fortress of the Byzantine Empire. After the Russo-Turkish War (1877–78), it became capital of Turkish Eastern Rumelia, which united with Bulgaria in 1885. It officially assumed its present name after World War I. Plovdiv became the birthplace of Bulgaria's movement for democratic reform, which by 1989 had garnered enough support to enter government. The city acts a junction on the Belgrade–Sofia–Istanbul rail line. Plovdiv is the chief market of a fertile region that produces tobacco, rice, vegetables, and fruit.

Capcom has delved deep into its number bag, tossing out release dates for a selection of upcoming Monster Hunter World events, including its Witcher crossover collaboration, and its Appreciation Fest first birthday celebrations. Monster Hunter World's Witcher collaboration, which was announced at the tail-end of last year, will be coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in a free update on Friday, February 8th. Capcom says the crossover will be making it way to PC "at a later date". The Witcher event will (unsurprisingly) feature Geralt of Rivia in some capacity, with the character's English voice actor, Doug Cockle, already confirmed to be recording new lines for the occasion. Capcom also previously revealed that it would feature "brand new quests with a unique flavour, blending the RPG mechanics of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with Monster Hunter: World's game systems to present a whole new gameplay experience to fans of both series " Monster Hunter World's Appreciation Fest will deck out the Gathering Hub in special birthday bunting and reintroduce "almost all" previously released event quests, alongside two new quests. In the latter case, players can tackle a 9-star Great Jagras (apparently the game's most hunted monster) from January 26th until February 7th; a 9-star Lavasioth (the least hunted monster, presumably) will be available from February 8th to February 21st. The celebratory festival also sees the arrival of a new Appreciation Platter at the canteen, as well as new backgrounds, titles, and poses for your Guild Card. Additionally, there's a Sparkling Party costume for your Poogie and a limited-time Friendly Felyne costume for the Handler - plus you can also expect special daily login bonuses and limited bounties too. There's plenty more Monster Hunter World to look forward to in 2019, of course. This autumn, the game receives its first major expansion in the form of the cold-themed Iceborne.

After announcing the Radeon 7 a few days ago, AMD has stealth-released a more comprehensive set of benchmark results that show how the upcoming card performs in 25 recent games compared to the current top Team Red GPU, the RX Vega 64, benched at 4K resolution on maximum settings. The benchmarks were contained in footnotes to AMD's press materials, and first came to light courtesy of HardOCP. Broadly, the results bear out AMD's claim of around a 25 per cent leap in performance from one generation to the next, although increases as low as 7.5 per cent in Hitman 2 and as high as 68.3 per cent in Fallout 76 are included in the results. If we compare AMD's provided results to our existing benchmarks, we can see that our Vega 64 scores for Ghost Recon Wildlands and Assassin's Creed Odyssey are practically identical, suggesting that AMD's definition of '4K Max' is the same as ours in these titles. That means we can suggest how the Radeon 7 would compare against a wider range of cards in these titles, particularly as any differences in CPU performance are likely to be negligible when running these games at 4K and max settings (AMD benched using an i7 7700K, while we've moved on to the i7 8700K). First up is 2017 title Ghost Recon Wildlands, where the Radeon 7 sits ahead of the Vega 64, GTX 1080, RTX 2060 and RTX 2070. However, it falls behind the GTX 1080 Ti, RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti. The new AMD card is definitely closer to the GTX 1080 Ti than the GTX 1080, but it's disappointing that a new high-end card from AMD can't surpass Nvidia's last-generation flagship given its much more advanced 7nm process. However, on the plus side, the fact that our RX Vega 64 benchmark matches AMD's to within margin of error at least demonstrates that the tests are on the level - something we don't always see with manufacturer-supplied benchmarks. Our Vega 64 results for Far Cry 5 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider diverge a little from those provided from AMD, but it's still interesting to see how the RTX 2080 compares to the new Radeon card in these titles. We recorded scores of 45.5fps for the Vega 64 in Far Cry 5, for instance, where AMD's number is a flat 49fps. The Radeon 7's average frame-rate is given as 62fps, which would put it ahead of the 59.5fps result we recorded for the RTX 2080. Meanwhile, our Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark result provided us with an average frame-rate of 34.7fps for the Vega 64, where AMD got a slightly higher 36.3fps. The Radeon 7 result is shown as 47.5fps, which would again put the new AMD card just ahead of the RTX 2080's 46.1fps. This should be an interesting contest, as Shadow of the Tomb Raider has shown performance advantages on Nvidia RTX cards up against their 10-series GTX equivalents.

Joanne on Morgan What were you hoping for? A fun evening on the Guardian’s dime! First impressions? Cute, chatty and early. What did you talk about? I can’t really remember much after four negronis and wine but: books, scumbag Tories, coming out. Any awkward moments? Probably when we got kicked out of the house party we crashed. And leaving my knickers behind. I think I also fell over at some point. Good table manners? Excellent, we both spoke with our mouths full. Best thing about Morgan? Her energy, intelligence and sense of humour. And she was up for getting pissed. Would you introduce her to your friends? Absolutely. Describe her in three words Fun, interesting, fit. What do you think she made of you? Maybe that I talked a mile a minute and was a bit overexcited. Also that I am “cool and hot”, because that’s what she said in a text to her friends, sent when I went to the loo. Did you go on somewhere? Yes, to that fateful house party. And... did you kiss? We did. A lot. If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be? Wear better shoes for a quick getaway. Marks out of 10? 10. Would you meet again? Yeah, next week. Morgan on Joanne What were you hoping for? Someone to break up the week. First impressions? Super tall with really nice eyes. What did you talk about? I can’t wholly remember. Maybe, failing sex education in UK schools and her fairly ugly but sadly estranged cat. Any awkward moments? I walked into a glass wall at one point and my head still has a bump. Good table manners? Who really cares? Best thing about Joanne? She is obscenely fun. Would you introduce her to your friends? Yes, asap. Describe her in three words Tactile, funny, engaging. What do you think she made of you? I think she thought I was really great, because she said she texted her friend that while she was in the bathroom. Did you go on somewhere? Yes, to a house party we weren’t invited to. And... did you kiss? Sure did. If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be? I’m struggling to come up with anything. Marks out of 10? 10. Would you meet again? Yes. • Joanne and Morgan ate at Emelia’s Crafted Pasta, London E1. Fancy a blind date? Email blind.date@theguardian.com.

The White House has condemned a New York Times report that the FBI opened an inquiry into whether President Trump was secretly working for Russia. Law enforcement officials became concerned by Mr Trump's behaviour in May 2017, when he sacked FBI director James Comey, the paper says. The investigation reportedly examined whether Mr Trump was a national security threat. "This is absurd," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said. "James Comey was fired because he's a disgraced partisan hack, and his deputy Andrew McCabe, who was in charge at the time, is a known liar fired by the FBI," she said in a statement. "Unlike President Obama, who let Russia and other foreign adversaries push America around, President Trump has actually been tough on Russia." In 2016, US intelligence agencies concluded that Russia had launched cyber-attacks and planted fake news stories on social media in a bid to boost Donald Trump and damage his rival for the presidency, Hillary Clinton. What did the FBI supposedly investigate? The reported counterintelligence investigation was rolled into the Mueller inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 election, the paper reported. The counterintelligence part sought to establish whether Mr Trump was knowingly aiding the Kremlin against America's interests, or "had unwittingly fallen under Moscow's influence". The criminal aspect concerned the president's sacking of Mr Comey, and whether it was an obstruction of justice. The ex-FBI director told a congressional hearing that Mr Trump told him "I expect loyalty," and pressured him to end an inquiry into the president's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn. Did Trump fire Comey as part of a cover-up? The Trump-Russia saga in 250 words All you need to know about Trump Russia story Flynn pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying about his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the US. What happened to the inquiry? The paper says the FBI investigation was taken over in full by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading an inquiry into whether Mr Trump's campaign and transition teams colluded with Moscow to influence the 2016 US elections. Mr Mueller was appointed within days of Mr Comey's firing.

In the early hours of one morning, nearly a decade ago, chauffeur Jayne Amelia Larson found herself trying to extricate the son of one of the wealthiest men in Los Angeles from the back of her car. The then-chauffeur had been driving the twentysomething party boy up and down Santa Monica Boulevard in her Lincoln Town car as he tried to procure a “transvestite prostitute” for his girlfriend who, he said, “wanted to convert a gay guy”. After several hours, he threw up on the back seat and fell into a drunken slumber, then woke up and tried to urinate in the car. “He’d been in rehab again and again,” says Larson, recalling the incident that took place just weeks into her new career. “Another driver I later met had been his family’s driver, and said the kid repeatedly did stuff in the car you would not believe, like he went to the bathroom there because he was just so wasted. And I don’t mean in a clean way; I mean in an awful way.” Eventually, the chauffeuring firm she worked for directed her to one of the city’s wealthiest neighbourhoods. But as she drove her client through the gates of a huge mansion, he panicked. “He kept saying: ‘Nobody loves me. Please don’t wake my parents. They hate me!’” As the car pulled up, an older man, whom she presumes was a member of his parents’ staff, stepped out from the darkness and helped him from the car. “The guy shushed him, and said: ‘You’re home. It’s OK now.’ It was just so weird and terrible and odd Larson’s experience is not as extraordinary as it might seem. Behind the tinted windows of luxury cars, chauffeurs have an insight into a world few people will see – the private, intimate space of the rich and famous. In a profession where personal referrals are important, discretion is taken seriously. But when drivers break this code, the results can be explosive. I spoke to chauffeurs in the UK and US who recalled disturbing incidents involving VIP clients, from scoring drugs to having sex on the back seats. Last month, the former personal driver to the multimillionaire and Conservative donor Christopher Moran told the Sunday Times that he had been aware that there were “at least a hundred prostitutes” operating from the Chelsea Cloisters apartment block owned by his former boss. Tony Heaney, who drove Moran’s Rolls-Royce for 25 years, told the paper he used to check the bins in the flats for condoms to tot up “exactly how many girls were working there”. The retired chauffeur told the paper he was upset after Moran allegedly failed to thank him when he left the job. Moran denied he knew the extent of the problem and his management took a “zero tolerance” approach to sex work in the building. Advertisement Harvey Weinstein’s ex-chauffeur also went public with allegations about his former employer, saying the disgraced mogul had sex in the back of his car with a woman who begged the producer “not to hurt her” (Weinstein has denied the allegations). Jacques Chirac’s former driver, meanwhile, wrote a book claiming his boss had been a serial philanderer. Chauffeuring can be well paid. The annual salary for personal chauffeurs for executives and super-rich families in London averages between £35,000 and £60,000, according to Irving Scott, an upmarket household staffing agency. Drivers, it says, can expect bonuses for commitment, longevity and loyalty, with discretion and professional secrecy also financially rewarded. Other agencies advertise jobs such as a £35,000-a-year permanent role based in Knightsbridge, London, that includes maintaining the client’s “large collection of supercars and other luxury vehicles including a Rolls-Royce, a Bentley and an armoured Mercedes S class”; and a £40,000-a-year permanent role with a family split between London and a villa in the south of France, with duties also including security, supervising contractors, keeping the exterior of the property empty and putting out deckchairs. Yet for all the apparent glamour, the exacting nature of chauffeuring VIP clients was exposed last summer when it was alleged that Sir Martin Sorrell, the former chief executive of British advertising giant WPP, had suddenly sacked his personal driver of 15 years in October 2017. The unnamed driver was reportedly asked, at 2am, to pick up Lady Cristiana Sorrell from the exclusive Mayfair restaurant Isabel. The driver then refused to resume work at 7am, explaining he would be too tired to drive safely if he only got two or three hours’ sleep. The paper claimed the Sorrells fired him the next day. It is impossible to put a total value on the UK’s chauffeuring industry, which, at the top end, includes personal drivers, luxury hotel car services and small and large firms. According to Transport for London, there were more than 12,000 executive-class private hire vehicles – Mercedes E, S and Viano series – less than five years old in the capital in June 2017. Paul Gibson, editor of TheChauffeur.com, says that, in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of companies providing security chauffeurs, with close-protection training for executives, celebrities and super-rich clients. These chauffeurs are often at the high end of the earning bracket thanks to specialist qualifications such as defensive driving, as shown in the BBC drama The Bodyguard.

President Donald Trump has called the US-Mexico border a national security crisis while Democrats accuse him of holding America hostage over a fake threat. Both sides dug their heels in over the issue in addresses to the nation on Tuesday night - so what happens now? As the nation waits for Washington to move forward, here are a few options open to Mr Trump, with analysis from the BBC's Anthony Zurcher. Trump declares a national emergency The president's address fell just shy of declaring a national emergency, but White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters on Wednesday the move is "certainly still on the table". If Mr Trump does invoke his presidential powers, he could bypass Congress and obtain the means for his wall through military resources. Critics consider this a flagrant misuse of power, and even after Mr Trump drafts his declaration, he must inform Congress of exactly what powers he is claiming. Congress could then void it with a vote in both the Senate and House of Representatives - but under US laws, a repeal of emergency status would still need Mr Trump's sign-off to go into effect. Is there a crisis on the US-Mexico border? Read Trump and Democrats' speeches in full Can Trump use emergency powers to build wall? In such a situation, it seems unlikely that Mr Trump would let that pass, sparking a legal battle between the two branches of government. But the 1976 National Emergencies Act, which doled out unilateral authority in emergencies to presidents, as well as a court history of deferring to the president's national security decisions, could be in his favour. In arguing that there is a crisis to be dealt with, Mr Trump said 300 US citizens died each week from heroin, "90% of which floods across from our southern border". It is true nearly all US heroin comes from Mexico, but according to Mr Trump's own Drug Enforcement Administration, only "a small percentage" of all heroin is seized between legal ports of entry. And ahead of an election year, it is unlikely the president would get complete support for such a controversial measure from his own party. As Senator Marco Rubio told CNBC on Wednesday: "We have to be careful about endorsing broad uses of executive power."

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has hinted that the hard- and software developer may move away from home console design in the future to ensure the developer remains flexible to the changing demands of the entertainment business. "We aren't really fixated on our consoles," Furukawa told Nikkei (via, and translated by, Nintendo Everything). "At the moment we're offering the uniquely developed Nintendo Switch and its software - and that's what we're basing how we deliver the 'Nintendo experience' on. That being said, technology changes. We'll continue to think flexibly about how to deliver that experience as time goes on. "It has been over 30 years since we started developing consoles. Nintendo's history goes back even farther than that, and through all the struggles that they faced the only thing that they thought about was what to make next. In the long-term, perhaps our focus as a business could shift away from home consoles - flexibility is just as important as ingenuity." Asked about how Nintendo intends to adapt to "fluctuations" in the industry, Furukawa added he was "thinking about little ways we can reduce that kind of instability" and said he'd "like to increase" Nintendo's smartphone game development to secure "a continuous stream of revenue". "We're also dabbling in theme parks and movies - different ways to have our characters be a part of everyday life. I'm anticipating a strong synergy like that," he said. "I don't want our developers to think too much along the lines of 'what should I do if we fail?'" he added. "My most important role is to facilitate an environment in which they can demonstrate their own abilities. I'm not a pro developer myself, so I leave the actual development to leaders that can tell what a good game is and what isn't." The Nintendo Switch is the fastest-selling video game system in the US this generation. From launch in March 2017, through to November 2018, Nintendo's hybrid console sold more than 8.7 million units.
