Video Game Review: Darksiders III
Although you do have some flexibility as to what order you tackle some of the Sins in, this is largely a linear game with most of its collectibles tucked around a corner of somewhere just off the main pathway. At around 16 hours (depending on how often you’re killed), Darksiders III isn’t a particularly long game by modern standards, but it’s a good length based on its design.

The Wire Troll: Alexander Edler Active on Power Play
A couple of weeks ago, the Jets brought up Appleton from the AHL, and while he’s yet to light the world on fire (one assist through his first eight games), we like his long-term prospects. Currently playing on the Jets’ fourth line, he’s not seeing much ice time, but he has managed shots in each of the last two games. Given what Appleton did in the AHL as a rookie last season (66 points) and this season (nearly a point per game), he’s clearly a dude to keep an eye on.

The Quest for Bryce Harper
Of course, from the White Sox’s perspective, landing Harper would give this rebuilding team instant credibility and really drive forward their move from a team of the future to a team of the present. He’s young enough (26) to still be the focal point of the organization as the team’s massive collection of prospects mature into big leaguers.

Video Game Review: The Council – Episode 5
Checkmate is a relatively short episode — only about two hours of gameplay, which is shorter than the 3-4 hours of previous episodes. There is a final confrontation, there are some bloodline revelations, and the game’s core mechanic of powers and ability points via an RPG system in an interactive fiction setup, all of that is there.

Blu-ray Review: Smallfoot
Anyone that watched Looney Tunes growing up should enjoy some of the physical comedy here as the movie often tosses aside any semblance of reality for classic nods to Wile E. Coyote. The other obvious influence is that of Lin-Manuel Miranda on some of the musical numbers, particularly Common’s Let it Lie, which feels like it could’ve been ripped from Hamilton or Moana with its situation-specific rhyming lyrics.

Video Game Review: Just Cause 4
One nice quality-of-life change in JC4 is the ability to aim down the sight, replacing the spray and pray approach from previous games in the series with a more precise alternative. While we’re not overly fond of auto-lock, it’s effective here and helps with taking down the multitude of targets you’ll battle simultaneously. There’s a good variety of guns as well, many containing a secondary fire mode for optimal destruction.
