Video Game Review: God of War: Ascension

/ Video Game Reviews

Kratos’ primary tool of destruction is once again the Blades of Chaos, though this time you’re able to imbue the blades with one of four powers: fire, lightning, ice and undead. Each element is upgradable via red orbs (as are the blades themselves) with additional combos, damage and magic becoming available. Unlock past games, and there are no supplementary weapons to acquire. Instead, you can find temporary weapons in the environments that degrade, and eventually break, with continued use.

Now may be the time to pounce while his value keeps going upward. Boedker’s 24 points in 38 games may not sound like all that much but with five points in his last five games, he is finally starting to put it together — and at a crucial time. Each team has about three games a week from here on out and at a 25-to-30 per cent ownership rate, here is a player that could help your team.

Video Game Review: BioShock Infinite

/ Video Game Reviews

Character models look good, especially Elizabeth, who despite possessing no skill in combat manages to emerge as one of the best NPC partners I can remember. The enemies and ships you encounter have a distinct steampunk feel to them, and the blending of semi-modern technology with turn-of-the-century styling works well. There’s also plenty of bloodshed to be found throughout without ever truly crossing over into gruesome territory.

2013 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit: Top 60 Prospects, Part V

/ 2013 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit, Baseball, Prospects

Arizona has amassed an impressive arsenal of young arms, but dealing one of its best away for a pittance to the Indians in a three-team deal wasn’t the wisest move we’ve ever seen. Bauer failed to make Cleveland this spring, getting sent down to Triple-A, but he won’t be kept at bay for long. Last year he made his MLB debut for the D-Backs and other than some control issues, he really held his own. Once Bauer learns to limit the baserunners, he’ll be ready to stick in the Show. Obviously, his dip in velocity from a year ago is a worry — and the main reason we lowered him slightly in the rankings this year. Last year, Bauer dominated Double-A, forcing a promotion to Triple-A, where he continued to rack up wins. The third overall pick from 2011 got some valuable experience in the high minors last year and we really like his strikeout potential, but he’ll have to watch the long balls once he arrives in the majors. A combined 12-2 mark with a 2.42 ERA in the minors last year suggests that Bauer is very near to earning a full-time big league job. Expect to see him make at least a few starts for the Indians this season.
