NFL Injury Update
Kolb won’t practice until Friday and will have to pass a test to play. Fantasy owners that took a shot with him should hold on to him for now. He had a rough go of things in Week One, but with a potential matchup against the Detroit Lions this week, he could offer some value if he starts.
Video Game Review: Halo: Reach
Some subtle changes were made to the default Halo controls to accommodate the addition of armour abilities, which have taken over the left bumper.

The stick is moved to simulate shooting — a quick flick for a wrist shot, a small wind-up for a slap shot. The “A” button passes the puck, and the “Z” button offers a speed burst. You can also use the stick to check by doing a cross-checking motion, which is obviously illegal in all levels of hockey. That’s right folks, EA Sports is teaching our youth to be dirty hockey players.

Video Game Review: Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse Episode 5
The gist of that — the controls are adequate for adventure gaming, but are clunky, and you’ll have to use the trigger buttons to cycle through possible interactive objects rather than trying to get Sam to face the right way. The big change is that Max’s Toys of Powers were destroyed at the end of Episode 4, so you won’t be going into the first-person perspective to enact psychic toy mayhem on anyone.
