Ironically, it’s the decidedly retro scenes that really stand out. Starting with the title screen, all the storyline advancement is done with 8-bit visuals. We don’t want to spoil any of the laughs, but special mention should be made for the training montage and “romantic” segments. If you spent any time playing games during the NES era you’re sure to enjoy them.

Abdelkaber received a two-game suspension for his high hit on Lydman in Game Three and the Duck blueliner will definitely not play in Game Four Monday as a result of his head injury.

Heading into action Saturday, he’s really been catching fire, going 7-for-21 with a couple of dingers and seven ribbies over a five-game stretch. Alonso is playing every day, and other than a slightly increased strikeout rate, all signs are pointing up for him as Fantasy owners are finally starting to catch on that he might actually be worth owning. No one will ever confuse him with a slugging first baseman, but he’s improving and has yet to reach his power prime.

Beyond guns, your ark hunter also has access to a grenade (right bumper) and special ability (left), which operate off a cooldown timer once used. You can only have two guns, one explosive and one skill active at any one time, but as you level up you unlock addition loadouts. These can be switched to at any time through the start menu — though it’s worth noting that the game does not pause so cycling through your pre-sets during combat isn’t ideal.

After a hiatus last week because of the NBA Playoffs, RotoRob’s Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast (heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio), returned to action, albeit missing one half of its crew. That’s right, Tim McLeod was M.I.A. this week, so we brought in Tim v 2.0 (AKA, Tim Heaney of KFFL.com fame) to replace him. Tim H. did yeoman’s work, helping keep things grooving as we discussed a veritable cornucopia of Fantasy baseball goodness.

Matches fit this well as they go by very quickly. The player can only take 1-to-3 hits (usually two) based on what game type is played. Points are set up based on the number of times the player hits an enemy rather than number of kills, which gave more of a hit-and-run type of gameplay. There is also a tornado in the main match type that slowly closes in until only a small centre section of the area remains, further emphasizing quick matches.

Raw is the word mostly associated with this kid’s skill set. The Vikings traded a whole lot to get Patterson, so they better have a recipe ready to turn this guy into a complete product. We think he has a year of learning from his failures before he really starts cooking. Patterson will get his start by lending a hand in the return game, which will get him used to NFL-style contact. That could expedite his transition.
