Cameron Johnson is starting to deliver for the Phoenix Suns.

The Wire Troll: Cameron Johnson Could Thrive Down the Stretch

Milton has been providing some key contributions to the Sixers lately, scoring 17 or more in three of the last four and on Thursday adding four assists, three boards, two blocks and a steal. He’s perfect from the line this month (not that he gets there that often, mind you), but most impressive is that he’s been playing at a top 30 level over the last week, so grab Milton while you can.

It’s a nice mix and well implemented, making both solo and co-operative play feel viable and engaging. Progression is meaningful as you find or purchase upgrades that unlock new combos, ammo and weapon effect variants, gadgets for interacting with the environment and so on. The controller gets pretty busy with multiple attacks, dashing, blocking, jumping and more, and even after 20-plus hours we’d still get our wires crossed occasionally. Still, the variety is necessary to keep things interesting across so many battles.

We’ve already pimped Acciari this season, but he deserves a second look given what a good campaign he’s having. He picked up an assist on Thursday, was +1 for a third straight game and, with 10 shots over the last four, he’s been generating offense. Acciari ripped back-to-back hat tricks earlier this season, so he’s a dude capable of scoring in bunches. You’ll definitely want him on your team the next time he’s goes on a tear.

The Wire Troll: Juan Hernangomez Helped by Minny Injury

Theis continues to be an unsung hero in Boston, but on a team lacking size, he’s playing an important role and doing a tremendous job. He’s scored nine or more points in four straight, putting up one double-double and flirting with others. Theis has been getting to the line more often than usual this month, and after seeing a slight uptick in touches last season, has become a bigger cog in the offense this season. You can do worse when looking for help at centre, and the fact that Boston was unable to add anyone at the deadline cements his role down the stretch.

Video Game Review: Zombie Army 4: Dead War

/ Video Game Reviews

Movement can feel a little clumsy, and characters lack any real evasive actions other than a slide after sprinting, which feels awkward and drains stamina. You do have some tricks up your sleeve at least as various meters get filled, typically by killing enemies, that allow you to do some attacks that help create space, such as one-hit melee kills and slowing time to repel zombies. While it has some shortcomings, the controls ultimately hold up well enough.
