Video Game Review: Comic Jumper

After an initial mission that takes place in your soon-to-be-cancelled comic, the game brings you into a central hub, which includes things like a break room for out-of-work villains to hang out in, from which you’ll jump into the guest starring roles. Each such appearance will last a total of three issues, giving the game a total of 11 missions, and you’ll also unlock two additional challenges per comic (eight overall). It’s a good amount of content to be sure, and the replay value is high as you try to improve your score as well as complete the secondary objectives (such as take no damage while fighting a boss) contained in the missions.

Where the game has issues is with its occasional inability to distinguish between the point-to-point and freestyle web slinging. In theory, pressing it once will snap you to an object, while holding it down lets you swing from unseen items above. In practice it’s imprecise, leading to some undeserved damage and unplanned tumbles. Mercifully, they’re rarely fatal thanks to a recovery prompt.

2010-11 RotoRob NHL Draft Kit: Top 10 Rookies

The first overall pick in this year’s draft won’t turn 19 until a month into the season, yet he’s expected to play a large role on a very young, rookie-laden Oiler squad. Hall proved he’s ready with a dominant season in Junior last year, as he potted 40 goals, 66 assists and 106 points in just 57 games for the Windsor Spitfires. The only draft eligible player on Team Canada’s last WJC entry, Hall would have been drafted extremely high in 2009, but he wasn’t eligible because of his late 1991 birth date. Speedy and offensively creative, Hall has a chance to develop into a top 10 scorer in time, but it’s realistic to expect him to struggle at times as a rookie.
