Video Game Review: Prince Of Persia Trilogy

Each game in the trilogy was built on the same engine, so the basic controls work the same. Two face buttons control your weapons (primary and secondary, which could mean a dagger depending on which game you’re playing), another face button causes the Prince to jump or roll. Two trigger buttons provide alternate camera angles — useful when trying to survey all of your possible platforming options. The other two trigger buttons control the Time Rewind feature, which is essentially a get-out-of-jail free card should you miss a jump or time a trap wrong, and the block button.

The Wire Troll: The Eric Hosmer Era Begins

The broken ankle that messed up Sizemore’s 2010 rookie campaign appears to be behind him. At Triple-A Toledo, he had slugged two homers, driven in 15 runs, and hit for an incredible .405 BA, prompting Detroit to recall him last week.

On the bright side, in a few weeks, the team will likely begin to think about bringing up some of its massive surplus of fine young pitching prospects.

Video Game Reviews: Escalation DLC

Although Convoy gets its name from ill-fated missile trucks that now lay dormant, those signature features have virtually no role in how the map plays. Two overpasses give each side an equal view of the destroyed freeway below. Each bridge is open in the middle and closed on the edges, allowing for lots of popping out and firing before quickly ducking back behind cover. Large and fairly open paths are available to the left and right with nice camping spots for both teams, though unless you’re able to hold all three pathways, it’s fairly easy to circle around and root out the campers. A dilapidated gas station, motel and diner give this location plenty of personality. Combat is fast-paced and intense.
