REVIEW:‘Life Is Strange: Reunion,’ a beautiful farewell to the partners in time

After the previous entry in this beloved series “Life Is Strange: Double Exposure” failed to deliver, Deck Nine Games needed to make sure the next installment steered the franchise back on track. On March 26, “Life Is Strange: Reunion” was released, becoming the seventh installment in the series. While having some minor flaws, “Reunion” largely accomplishes their goal. “Reunion” picks up where “Double Exposure” left off with fan-favorite protagonist Max Caulfield, but unlike “Double Exposure,” she’s not alone, as they pair her up with her partner in time Chloe Price.

OPINION: Bobbleheads of the week

Where there’s a victor, there’s a loser, and sometimes, certain athletes contribute to their team’s shortcomings. These athletes are favorably called bobbleheads. Miami Dolphins NFL free agency officially started on March 11, and ever since it began the Miami Dolphins have made some Bobblehead-esque moves. To Miami’s credit they cut quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who was arguably one of the key contributors to the team's lack of success in recent years. To replace Tagovailoa, Miami decided to go out and sign quarterback Malik Willis from the Green Bay Packers, signing him to a three year, $67.5 million contract with $45 million guaranteed.

REVIEW: ‘EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert’ is a love letter to the King

“EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert” is a documentary with never - before seen - footage of Elvis Presley’s time and performances in Las Vegas. Released on Feb. 27, the documentary is directed by Baz Luhrmann who also directed Elvis, the biopic of Presley in 2022. Luhrmann once again delivers in his showcasing of the King of Rock and Roll, creating an immersive theater experience. This documentary briefly explores Presley’s earlier years to get straight to the action of how he would go about his performances.The documentary reveals Presley's first practices, then the second practices and finally the live shows he performed in front of sold - out crowds in Las Vegas.

Destinee Hooks: Lobo and leader

Since joining the team in 2024, Lobo guard Destinee Hooks has been an impactful starter for the University of New Mexico.  Hooks grew up in Indiana in a predominantly white neighborhood with two older brothers. Hooks was very active as a child, wanting to do everything her older brothers did, and because of that she was able to find her passion for the game of basketball.  “My family has always inspired me since I was little, my mom has the best work ethic that I’ve seen, she wakes up early, goes to work, comes back home and does everything she needs to do at home, takes care of us, and supports us and it’s really inspiring,” Hooks said. “My brothers also have a crazy work ethic as well, so if I can get (an) opportunity to make it to the league in a couple of years and retire my family that would be a big blessing.”

Women’s Basketball: Broncos rattle Lobos in Boise

Coming into the game on Saturday, Feb. 7, both teams were riding high as they sparked up winning streaks with the Lobos’ four straight games and the Broncos’ eight. Adding to the game’s suspense, the last time these two teams met up, the University of New Mexico  handled business at The Pit, defeating Boise State 70-63 in December 2025. In a game that had the making of a heavy weight bout between two Mountain West foes, it resembled more of a one-sided affair as the Broncos knocked down the Lobos 63-35.
