Video Game Review: Blades of Time

/ Jess Castro, Video Game Reviews

Pressing the right trigger acts as a dash for evading attacks, but it eventually can be powered up as an offensive move. The dash also comes in handy during bits of platforming as it allows Ayumi to cling on exotic corals and swish from one to the other. Rounding out her abilities is the Time Rewind, which plays back your previous actions; thus creating a doppelganger. This allows you to tag-team enemies with your shadow self for double damage (or triple, if used correctly) and is also handy for switch-operating puzzle solving.

/ Baseball, Buck Davidson, Podcast, RotoRob's Fantasy Baseball Weekly

nother Thursday has come and gone meaning it was time for another episode of RotoRob’s Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, once again this week a March Madness distracted version thereof.

Video Game Review: Twisted Metal

How busy? There’s movement (left/right, acceleration/brake, camera angle), weapons (primary, secondary, primary weapon selection — mapped to the left/right trigger buttons in all configurations), and defensive actions (freeze, shield, turbo boost). The training section is the equivalent of an onscreen manual, so you’ll take probably an hour or two getting used to the controls, more if you decide to switch control schemes midway through. Except for players used to the classic PS1/PS2 control schemes, it’s probably worth it to try all three different control schemes to get a sense of what works best for you.

2012 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit: Starting Pitcher Rankings

/ 2012 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit, Baseball, Buck Davidson, Cheat sheets, Tim McLeod

Two-time Cy Young winner Halladay enjoyed an even better season in his second campaign as a Phillie last year, massively reducing his home run rate while setting a new career best in strikeouts. His walks were up a tad, but not enough to worry about, and he remains among the best control pitchers in the game. To top things off, Halladay enjoyed his lowest ERA ever and he continues to head a rotation that’s the envy of every other big league squad. He’ll be hard pressed to continue to average 20 wins per season as he’s done since getting dealt to Philadelphia, but thanks to his deadly splitter, Halladay remains the best starting pitcher option in Fantasy baseball for 2012.
