The Wire Troll: Chase Headley Shifts Corners

Notwithstanding a stinker Friday, Valencia has been getting it done lately, delivering three hits over the previous two days, and going yard on back-to-back days last weekend. He’s actually cooled off a bit this month after a very nice June, but given his gap power and decent BA, he seems a tad underowned, so if you need corner infield help in a mixed league, give him a look.

Video Game Review: Black The Fall

You play as a nameless, faceless protagonist trying to break free from some sort of Soviet work camp, although the presence of sophisticated machinery indicates it’s not meant to be historically accurate. While the hammer and sickle gives the game a little more grounding than what we’ve seen in Limbo, Inside and Little Nightmares, it still offers no concrete narrative.

Blu-ray Review: Kong: Skull Island

Visually, Kong is stunning. Filmed largely in Vietnam, the island assumes an otherworldly quality without the excessive use of CGI and green screen in the environment. Obviously, CGI is massively important in bringing Kong and several other unique creatures (like that giant yak thing) to life. The production team knew how vital it was, and they did a fantastic job from start to finish.
