One thing that hasn’t changed is the lack of difficulty. Deaths are still punished by dropping some studs and a perpetual hint system all but ensures you won’t be stumped for long.

Controls are a defining factor for any Kinect game; without a good setup you might as well turn off the TV and wave your arms around until you’re satisfied with what you’ve accomplished. On screen your character is set up behind a ballista, standing in a half circle segmented into two areas. Walking up and holding out your hands grabs the ballista and walking back primes it at full power, allowing you to then aim by moving left and right or affect its pitch in much the same manner. To fire just put your arms out to the sides. During flight you can spin your shots by swatting at the projectile, changing directions and adding or reducing lift. Different ammunition for your ballista has special properties that can be used mid-flight to help the destruction along, activated by raising your arms in a “V” position.

This week’s episode of RotoRob’s Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast (heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. on Blogtalkradio) began inauspiciously, with Buck pulling his Alvin the Chipmunk imitation and Tim missing in action for the first 10 minutes of the show as he frantically drove around looking for gummy bears. But like troopers, we fought through and wound up churning out yet another informative and entertaining Fantasy baseball Podcast, this week focusing to a large extent on our second half predictions.

Web swings don’t take altitude into account, and as a result you may find Spider-Man scraping the pavement after a long downswing when you wanted to remain above the skyline. Similarly, web rush can deposit you on the top or side of nearly any object, but when it comes to marking open air as your destination it becomes hit or miss. Sometimes the game allows it; other times it turns red and it’s a no go.
