Video Game Review: Control

You’ll also possess a selection of powers, headlined by the telekineticability to grab objects from the environment and hurl them with great velocity at hapless foes. You can also gather debris and use it as a shield, bend enemies to your will, levitate in the air and more. All of these skills draw from a single pool of power, which, like the ammo, also regenerates, tying all of your offensive and defensive maneuvers to timers. Only health requires you to pick up objects, in this case small beads that drop from defeated foes.

Video Game Review: Catherine: Full Body

As noted, there are two primary elements in Catherine. First, there’s a dating sim in which you drink, talk to people, respond to texts and try to make sense of your unusual circumstances. Second, there’s a number of climbing puzzles that require you to manipulate blocks in order to ascend and reach the exit. For those that don’t want to deal with the puzzles, a Safety Mode has been added that allows you to skip them and focus entirely on the story.

The Wire Troll: Matt Magill Emerges as a Fantasy Asset

Sure to be a one of the more important September callups, Kieboom has enjoyed a huge season at Triple-A.

In 105 games, Kieboom is batting .305 with 16 homers while racking up the runs and ribbies. Consider him a tremendous dynasty option.

Blu-ray Review: Ma

There is more than a few moments during Ma where you’ll need to turn your brain off so that the plot holes and character inconsistencies don’t consume it. For instance, Hawkins calls the cops on his son when he learns about him drinking at some obscure location. Then, when he discovers that his son has been hanging out with Sue Ann he confronts her but… says nothing to his son. Also, how does Sue Ann keep her job?

Video Game Review: Life is Strange 2, Episode 4

This change in dynamic alters how you play the game. In previous episodes, your choices — and how they affected your younger brother — were a constant cloud lingering over practically every action. Did you teach Daniel to be a practical survivor? Did you teach him empathy at all costs? Did you teach him aggression, sacrifice, and other traits?

Blu-ray Review: Rocketman

There’s plenty of extras here, including extended musical performances and a bunch of deleted or extended scenes. They’re not great, but it’s definitely worth watching — as you’d imagine they’re content scenes and not musical stuff. Beyond that, a number of “behind the scenes” features can be found with the highlight being the studio sessions with John and Egerton, who legitimately sings the songs.
