Our least-favourite part of last year’s installment was the aimless, unskippable story attached to MyCareer. Things have improved markedly on that front in NBA 2k19 as you step into the shoes of A.I., beginning with him waiting on draft night and never getting the call. From there you end up in China, progress to the G League and so on.

Need some saves in the final week? Try Buttrey, a virtual unknown until he started bagging saves in Disneyland a couple of weeks ago. Now he’s on a run of eight straight scoreless outings, and he’s looked almost unhittable since reaching the majors just over a month ago. Judging by what Buttrey did at Triple-A, his K rate of 11.15/9 seems sustainable, and we love the fact he’s basically maintained his minor league walk rate.

Seeking a Dynasty league option at the keystone corner? Take a look at what Solak — the Yankees’ second rounder in 2016 — has done in his first full season at Double-A. Last year he made an impressive jump to High-A, gaining valuable experience before a late promotion to get his feet wet at Double-A. Solak hasn’t hit for quite as high an average this season, but has racked up the total bases while showing a very intriguing power-speed combination. This is a kid worth watching.

Chemistry was always key to the previous trilogy’s success, and the cast here does a nice job of matching the easy charm and humour that dripped from Clooney and Pitt. Bullock was a great choice to be the lead, and Blanchett fits right in as her right-hand woman. Nothing is ever taken too seriously and yet they never come across as anything less than prepared and capable.

Set shortly after the last game’s conclusion, Shadow opens as Lara and Jonah arrive in Cozumel on the lookout for Dr. Dominguez, who was referenced in some of her father’s notes. Upon locating him they learn of his connection with Trinity, prompting Lara to investigate nearby tombs in hopes of thwarting their efforts.
