Win a Toy Soldiers Statue!

Given the subject matter, we felt it was only appropriate that our contest for deciding who receives one of these beauties be based on your favourite war movie. Just name it…no need to go into heavy detail, and we’re going to be picking the winners completely at random this time around. (Don’t worry…future contests will involve you putting your thinking cap on, or jumping through flaming hoops, etc.)

Video Game Review: Front Mission Evolved

Although there are a handful of sequences where you’ll battle on foot, the majority of your time is spent in a Wanzer, the name of the giant mechanized robots. Your mech is extremely ponderous in its basic state and to counteract that you’ll constantly be “skating,” which is where your leg thrusters engage and allow quicker movements. Unfortunately, your mech only has a limited burst, and once your meter is drained you’ll need to wait for it to refill before engaging it again. During this time you’ll slowly lumber around as an easy target for nearby enemies, which can be frustrating. I also didn’t care for clicking the left stick to engage skate mode, especially when the “B” button is used sparingly.

2010-11 RotoRob NBA Draft Kit: Top 10 Rookies

Yes, 2009’s top pick is still a rookie, having had his entire 2009-10 season wiped out by injuries. Griffin excels at getting to the free throw line, but unfortunately sinking those freebies is still a problem, and probably the only thing – other than health – that is holding him back from becoming an NBA superstar. Still, he’s big and strong and is an excellent post player that should be a monster rebounder. Griffin’s ability to score with his back to the basket will also stead him well in the NBA. He’s completely healthy now, and ready to make his mark, and the best part is, plenty of owners will sleep on him come draft day after his lost 2009-10 campaign.
