Video Game Review: Asura’s Wrath

So, why is Asura so pissed off? Where does his wrath come from? Well, when you’re framed for the murder of an emperor of demigods, your wife gets executed for “treason,” your daughter is kidnapped to have her energy siphoned against her will, and you’re tossed into Hell for about 12,000 years, you tend to resent those that did it to you. Thus begins this puree of Hindu mythology, over-the-top fisticuffs and sci-fi adventure serials. It’s a mighty fine set of 18 stages, each one acting like an episode of a great TV show. I’m talking about the addictive kind that you can’t stop watching and end up running an all-day marathon on Netflix, leaving you exhausted in Cheeto-fingered glory.

Video Game Review: Nexuiz

With gameplay that moves so quickly, it’s not surprising that the controls are very simple. Each of the game’s nine weapons has a primary (right trigger) and secondary (left) fire mode, and there are three buttons dedicated to shuffling between them. You can also crouch, jump and melee your opponents, though hand-to-hand feels more like luck at these speeds. Selecting the game’s signature mutators is done quickly with the d-pad. Of special note is the game’s incredibly fun jetpack controls, which allow you to climb, descend and hover with ease.

NBA Today: Reggie Miller Heads Hall of Fame Candidates

Let’s look at the reasons why he wasn’t a Hall of Famer: he never won a championship; in 18 seasons, Miller was never named to either the first or second All-NBA Team, receiving just three nods as a third teamer; only twice did he receive any MVP votes, never winning the award; he wasn’t much of a rebounder, didn’t get many assists and, while he’s currently 14th overall in points, his career PPG average of 18.2 only ranks 91st; he’s only 45th all-time in 3-point percentage.

The Wire Troll: Corey Brewer Taking Advantage of Nugget Injuries

However, Harris is showing signs of life lately, playing at least 26 minutes in each of the past three games and reaching double digits in points in three of the past four. On Wednesday, he dropped eight dimes and pitched in with a couple of steals. If you need help at PG, give Harris a look. He’ll give you headaches from time to time, but is generally doing enough to be owned in all formats.
