Video Game Review: UFC Undisputed 3

However, even with the ground game and clinching simplified there’s still plenty to keep track of once the fight begins. You deliver strikes via the face buttons and can modify high/low by holding down one of the triggers. Defensively you can block, sway or counter, which sounds a lot easier than it is given some demanding timing. Submissions are locked in by clicking down on the right stick, which also triggers a brand new mini game. Here you and your opponent chase each other around the border of the screen while a meter counts down toward a counter or a tap out.

2012 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit: Third Base Rankings

Filling that corner-infield slot from the first base pool is a strategy that many will employ this season, and for good reason. Get your hot corner option while you can as after the Top 10 are off the board the choices are simply not all that good. Go early or go home is the mantra when drafting third basemen in 2012.

Video Game Review: NeverDead

Attempting to set itself apart from the pack is Bryce’s unique ability to literally be torn to pieces and still fully function (he’s immortal, you see). You can tear off your own head and chuck it into air shafts or even obtain perks that turn your severed arms into grenades. Whether you do it to yourself or are simply dismembered or decapitated by an enemy, you’ll be able to coax your limbs and torso back together, regenerate them or even roll around as a severed head.

2012 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit: Shortstop Rankings

And because it’s so hard to find a stud shortstop, he’s easily a top 10 pick in all formats. In fact, he’ll likely go in the top five of almost every draft. Thirty dingers, 100 RBI and a .300 BA out of your shortstop? Sign me up for some of that. I’m also very bullish on the batting eye improvements Tulowitzki made last year. The Rox will have another fine offensive lineup this year, and Tulo will be a huge reason why.

Video Game Review: The Darkness II

Of course, you’ve also got those wonderful demon arms, which are mapped to the shoulder buttons. The right is used in conjunction with the right analog stick for melee strikes while the left is reserved for grabbing objects (poles, doors, people, etc.) and whipping them across the screen. Suspended enemies can also be executed in a variety of brutal and satisfying ways. It starts off pretty basic, but as you gather dark essence, new moves can be purchased. Eventually you’ll have a different type of execution for each face button — one restores, another replenishes ammo and so on. Beyond just being visually cool, there is some element of strategy involved as you can address various needs with the executions.
