Video Game Review: Invasion DLC

After sticking to World War I for its source material to this point, Signal Studios goes in another direction with Invasion by introducing more playful units. The basic story is that the British are desperate, and they’re launching an all-out offensive against the Germans (that’s you) with the aid of non-military (fire trucks) and futuristic (flying saucers, space tanks and more) toys.

Video Game Review: Dead Rising 2

As you’re in Fortune City (basically, Las Vegas), the backgrounds and environments are all what you expect. There are bright, garish colours, some with animated lights and flashing messages. Hey, it’s Vegas…err…Fortune City, right?

2010 ALCS: Nelson Cruz is Good to Go

Considering he missed a third of the season, and that he mostly hit out of the five or six hole, the 60 runs he scored this season is a very impressive total. And no one will quibble with that robust 950 OPS. A flyball hitter, Cruz likely would have matched his home run total from 2009 had he not gotten hurt. And once he returned in September, he really was on cruise control, batting .327 with six homers, 14 RBI and 21 runs for the month.
