Video Game Review: Rise of Nightmares

Navigating is another matter entirely. Walking is done by extending one foot forward from a standing position and holding it there (sticking it out further makes you walk more swiftly) — you back up by moving your foot backward — while rotating your upper body turns your view right and left.

Video Game Review: Nicktoons MLB

When your team takes the field, different pitches are clearly mapped to each face button. Holding the button of your choice charges a meter while you aim with the left stick — when the meter hits its peak, release the button and the pitch is made. Hitting the meter’s peak successfully results in an accurate fast pitch that’s hard to nail. If the batter hits the pitch, left trigger will swap control over to the fielder closest to the ball and “A” will make a jump or dive for air balls. Once the ball is snagged, the layout of the face buttons correspond to each base you want to throw to. Whether in the field or at bat, pressing right trigger activates a fast and powerful version of your pitches, swings, and field movement for a touch of over-the-top action.

The Wire Troll: Don’t Doubt Thomas

Through two games, Dalton has thrown for 413 yards and three touchdowns without a pick, and his performance has the Queen City abuzz with talk of a potential return to respectability for the Bengals in 2011. That’s big talk for a franchise that has finished above .500 only twice in the past 21 seasons, but hey, if there’s one thing redheads are good at, it’s inspiring crazy talk — and crazier deeds. If you’re in a deeper (more than 12 team) league, or play in a two-quarterback format, Dalton is well worth adding to your roster.
