Phillies pitching continues to dominate as the Flyers and Sixers playoff hopes come back from the dead
Resurrection was the theme on Sunday, as both the Flyers and Sixers gained new life in their respective playoff series. Meanwhile, the Phillies broke out the brooms as Halladay struck out 14 hitters in the finale of a four game sweep of the Padres. In this week’s edition of Phour for Phour, we’ll take an in-depth look at a rollercoaster week of Philadelphia sports, as well as give one lucky reader a free pair of Phillies tickets. The Good - Ville-delphia! After back to back losses to the Sabres, one of which was a heartbreaking overtime loss, the Flyers found themselves facing elimination on Sunday in Buffalo. After the first period, Philadelphia was staring down a two goal deficit, which subsequently led to yet another change at the …

An inexpensive indie title available on Steam serves as a first attempt at combining two popular gaming genres, and it succeeds.
If you're a gamer, you're familiar with first-person shooter games. You may also be familiar with tower defense games. But no one has attempted to combine the two genres. Indie developer Coffee Stain Studios apparently noticed this. In order to capitalize on an untapped concept, they put their heads together and came up with Sanctum, and it has been dubbed the first game to serve as both a first-person shooter and a tower defense game. There isn't much to the story: You play the role of Skye, a futuristic female soldier with a large cybernetic left arm who is sent to protect her home of Elysion One from what seems to be an endless supply of alien-ish enemies. But story in this game doesn't matter, as it's just a way to explain why you …

3-D effects do little to accentuate the action in this caving romp.
"Sanctum" is an intermittently exciting, but ultimately forgettable, action adventure movie that stakes a very strong claim on the title of "second-best trapped-in-a-cave movie of the last six months." If you feel "127 Hours" would've been a better film if James Franco had five or six other people down in the cave with him to bicker with, "Sanctum" is the movie for you. Executive-produced by James Cameron, which presumably means he let them use his 3-D cameras, and he visited the set once or twice, "Sanctum" was directed by Alister Grierson and stars Richard Roxburgh, Ioan Gruffudd, Alice Parkinson, Dan Wyllie and Rhys Wakefield. No, I've never heard of any of those people, either. The film, based on a true story experienced by co-writer …

Good stuff Keith. Phils offense needs a serious kick in the ass. Hopefully Utley can come back soon and give them a needed boost, but that is off on the horizon. Agreed, schedule is very helpful! more ›
