Video Game Review: Ori and the Blind Forest
In classic Metroidvania fashion, obtaining new skills grants access to new areas.

The Wire Troll: Jason Richardson is Back
After not playing in the NBA for over two years due to injury, Richardson is back on the court and starting to look like his old self. In 11 games he has averaged 12 points, four boards and a steal while shooting 38 per cent from deep and 90 per cent from the line.
