An extraordinary collection with ironclad provenance1941 Babe Ruth Exhibition Used Home Run Bat & Single Signed Baseball. Long before Kevin Costner heard the disembodied voice in the cornfields, John V. Brady had a dream of his own to bring the greatest figures in baseball to another most unlikely place. He was the state softball commissioner of Rhode Island, tasked with the rather challenging role of increasing attendance to his annual postseason softball tournament. Certain that a grand gesture was the only surefire solution, Brady reached out to the two greatest hitters alive, one already settled deeply into retirement, the other a young star in the midst of one of the greatest seasons ever.
Brady was as shocked as anybody when both Babe Ruth and Ted Williams agreed to appear. The price for Ruth's services was $700. But Williams was hitting .410 as he made his way to the September 2, 1941 appearance on an off-day between meetings with the Senators and Yankees at Fenway, and demanded that he be paid more than Ruth. He got it: $725.
They would appear separately on September 2nd and 3rd at Pierce Memorial Stadium in East Providence. Brady recalled, "I had Ruth hit 24 new baseballs and then I had him sign a dozen balls that I gave out to people. Same thing with Ted the following night. And they both signed a lot of autographs for kids."
The volume of period documentation is simply too much to list here, with various newspapers and photocopies thereof featuring ads of the impending visits prior to the sluggers' appearance and reports of the events afterwards. One article is headlined "Ruth's Home-Run Ball Bound for Portsmouth," telling the tale of the young man who grabbed one of the Babe's blasts. Best is a tattered page from the September 3rd edition of The Providence Journal which pictures Ruth posing with a bat. "Feels out the war club," reads the caption.
PSA/DNA's bat expert John Taube confirms in his lengthy letter of examination that, based on the grain pattern of the wood, the bat in the photograph is the same one presented in this lot, leading Taube to state that this is, "In short, the most well documented Ruth bat we have seen since the bat he used to hit the first home run in Yankee Stadium on Opening Day, 1923." This opinion is further enhanced by a staggering array of further documentation (each laminated), as follows:
1) August 18, 1941 Western Union telegram from Ruth to Brady outlining Ruth's terms for consenting to participation in the event.
2) August 23, 1941 telegram from Ruth to Brady confirming payment has been received.
3) August 28, 1941 invoice to Brady from Hillerich & Bradsby for two "Babe Ruth Models--to be used for a baseball hitting exhibition given by Babe Ruth."
4) September 3, 1941 receipt for "The Providence Biltmore" hotel featuring a $7.70 room charge and $36.55 food charge for "Mr. & Mrs. G.H. Ruth," paid by John V. Brady.
The bat exhibits several dark ball strikes on the top barrel, a testament to the power the Babe still commanded a half dozen years into retirement. The signature model R43 measures thirty-five inches in length and weighs just over thirty-five ounces. A bit of paint appears on the handle but otherwise the bat is flawlessly preserved. As Taube notes, the grain pattern puts the bat directly into Ruth's hands.
If the story ended there, it would still be one of the most exciting lots we've had the privilege to offer, but there's even more. Also here are single signed baseballs from each of the celebrated sluggers, Ruth's example personalized "To Jack Brady From Babe Ruth." Williams simply signs the side panel. Both balls are non-official, toned an amber color with black fountain pen ink rating 7/10. This remarkable archive is consigned to Heritage by the Brady family and makes its hobby debut here. LOA from PSA/DNA (bat). Full LOA from PSA/DNA (Ruth signed baseball). Full LOA from PSA/DNA (Williams signed baseball). Documentation as noted in lot text.

Education on school merger issues continues as voting sites open
Supporters rally, others ask questions
Held on the first Saturday of early voting on the referendum to surrender the Memphis City Schools charter, the "Ed-Chat" at First Congregational Church in Cooper-Young was billed as a balanced look at the issue.
Hosted by child advocacy organization Stand for Children and Friends United for School Equality, the event included presentations by Shelby County Commissioner Steve Mulroy and Dr. Joy Clay, an associate professor at the University of Memphis who conducted a study on the three consolidated districts in Tennessee.
As the mostly Midtown crowd of about 40 asked questions about the known and unknown ramifications of consolidation, among them was Shelby County Schools board president David Pickler.
He took umbrage at the idea that the meeting was neutral.
"Unfortunately, what we heard was a regurgitation of a lot of the same talking points that have been promoted by the pro-consolation groups for the past many months," Pickler said.
Consolidation supporters used Saturday, the first day for early voting at satellite sites, as a day to meet and vote en bloc at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church and to rally at the Citizens for Better Education East Memphis headquarters.
Outside the church, Bailey Leopard, 41, brought his children, students at Snowden School, to support the merger.
"My family and I think that this is a pivotal moment for our community. We think that public education is the most important service that our government provides for its citizens," Leopard said.
Westwood resident Sylvia Loyd-Chism, 46, with children at Whitehaven High School and John P. Freeman Middle School, made appearances at First Congo and the rally.
"There are good things that are happening in the county, and there are good things happening in the city," Loyd-Chism said. "We should take those things and put them together so we can have all the positives of both systems."
And at 55 years old and his children grown, Kevin Parker of Whitehaven says he's doing OK. A merger will neither help nor hurt him.
But he's passionate enough about the issue that he's now volunteering to push it forward.
"I'm doing it for the children. It's about our children," he said.
Early voting on the school referendum continues through March 3.
The referendum will be held March 8.

This invention relates to alerting systems, illustratively alerting systems for patient safety.
Alerting systems have been used as part of safety practices in various industries. For example, in the 1930s, submarines were introduced with a novel alerting system. Historically, accidents occurred when major openings through the pressure hull had not been closed prior to diving. These apparently obvious errors had resulted in the loss of boats and lives. To improve communication about the status of the submarine, an alerting system was developed. This system incorporated visual feedback to the dive officer and the captain about the status of all openings to the sea. When a particular hull opening was not closed to the sea, the corresponding indicator would be set to a "Red" colored state. When this hull opening was closed, the indicator would be set to a "Green" state. The submarine personnel could quickly glance at the state of the "Greenboard" or "Christmas Tree" prior to giving the order to dive. This safety system is believed to have reduced the likelihood of loss of submarines in the United States Navy.
In aviation, similar safety systems have been implemented. Some of the more advanced aviation systems have incorporated electronic checklists with visual and auditory alerting. Other industries in which operational safety is paramount, including the nuclear power industry and in the launching of nuclear missiles, have incorporated similar alerting systems.
The Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ) has proposed that medical institutions introduce safety practices similar to those used in other industries. An analysis of "sentinel events," events involving death or serious injury, has found that the Operating Room (OR) has the highest incidence of patient safety "events." Examples of OR events that represent potential opportunities for improvement include anything that does or could cause patient harm. Examples of events that do or could contribute to patient harm include: wrong site surgical procedures, not providing needed medications, incorrect timing of medications, incomplete instrumentation, incorrect instrumentation, lack of needed supplies, incorrect supplies, lack of medical records, lack of relevant imaging, sponge counting, needle counting, and others.
Additionally, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has begun to survey all JCAHO accredited health care organizations for implementation of the following recommendations—or acceptable alternatives—as appropriate to the services the organization provides. Failure by an organization to implement any of the applicable recommendations (or an acceptable alternative) will result in a special Type I recommendation. The specific goals of this initiative include:
Presently, most procedures that are implemented to reduce "sentinel events" comprise manual checklists. Not only is the use of such lists cumbersome, manual checklists are prone to error by the person completing the checklist. Also, if a step is omitted, it is often difficult to determine if the step had actually been omitted, or if the person performing the step merely failed to fill out the form. This is particularly problematic if the oversight is not noted immediately. The automated checklist in U.S. Pat. No. 5,267,147 overcomes some of these shortcomings, but relies on sequential review of checklist items.
Medical alert or alarm systems for equipment operation or patient conditions are also known. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,319,355 and 5,534,851 provide an alarm for a life support system that provides information for "medical conditions of patients and the status and operational conditions of any medical equipment that may be used in a pre-hospital, post-hospital, or in-hospital setting." Col. 3, lines 29–32 (See also Col. 4, lines 7–22). U.S. Pat. No. 5,416,695 discloses a medical alert system used for medical and geodetic information, such as for use with ambulatory patients. U.S. Pat. No. 5,579,775 teaches a telemetry system for monitoring a patient's physiological conditions. U.S. Pat. No. 6,032,035, discloses a portable transmitter for an emergency response system, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,607,481, discloses an emergency call system for dispatchers. U.S. Publication Nos. 2002/0082480 and 2002/0120310, disclose systems for management of medical devices. U.S. Publication 2003/0022815 displays tasks for patient care, and PCT Publication No. WO 94/22098 discloses a patient care and communication system. While many of these alert systems and automated checklists, the references for which are herein incorporated by reference, could be used in connection with the present invention, none of these systems teaches a display of the status of various safety activities applicable to a particular healthcare environment.
It is desired to provide an alert system for patient care, illustratively for use in various healthcare environments, such as the operating room, that easily alerts appropriate medical personnel of any deficiencies, including missing information, tests, or materials required for surgery. Such a system would operate to minimize events that do or could cause harm to the patient. Illustratively, the system would provide appropriate alerts in pre-operative, operative, and post-operative environments. However, it is understood that the systems and methods may be used for other aspects of patient care.
The present invention comprises alerting systems and methods for improving patient safety. Illustratively, a patient safety alerting system is provided comprising an output device, illustratively a computer screen, showing a set of indicators, each indicator displaying one of a plurality of indicator states, illustratively a green circle, a yellow triangle, and a red octagon. The system also comprises a set of status lists, each status list corresponding to its respective indicator, wherein the displayed indicator state of the respective indicator corresponds to information in the respective status list. The alerting system also comprises a processing unit operatively connected to the output device for processing changes to the status lists and corresponding indicators and an input device operatively connected to the processing unit and configured to interface with a user to allow the user to view and update information in the status lists. Optionally, the processing unit may be operatively connected to one or more other systems and may receive information needed for various status lists from these other systems. Illustratively, the set of indicators are for a specific hospital environment, and the entire set of indicators is displayed on a single computer screen, although various indicators could be displayed on multiple displays. Other sets of indicators for other hospital environments may be provided and displayed on other screens.
In one particular embodiment, Pre-Operative, Operative, and Post-Operative comprise three hospital environments, each comprising a set of status lists and a corresponding set of indicators. Illustratively, all indicators of one of the environments are visible at one time, and the user can page between screens for each of the environments.
Because all of the indicators for an environment are displayed on a single screen, the user can readily assess the patient status with respect to that environment. The user can also access any of the status lists in any order, particularly ones for which the indicator shows a non-compliant indicator state. The user can update information contained in the status lists, as is appropriate, and, in the illustrated embodiment, the user can move to a different screen to show all indicators in another environment.
Additional features of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of preferred embodiments exemplifying the best mode of carrying out the invention as presently perceived.
The present invention comprises a system and method for providing comprehensive alerting related to patient safety in various healthcare environments.
In one illustrative embodiment, the system comprises three phases that parallel the existing list process sequencing for three different hospital or healthcare environments. The clustering of activities for each of these environments minimizes excessive alerting to staff when not directly applicable to their present job activities. In the present example, the phases include:
At each "phase" or "environment" of the surgical episode, the system as illustrated in
The content and selection of the status lists provided in the system may be modified when necessary, as information needed for a particular environment changes, and may be modified for various other environments or phases. As shown in
For certain operating room procedures, it may be preferable to display the various indicators for each of the three "phases" or environments on its own display screen, since the safety concerns of each environment differs from that of the other environments, at least to some extent. Thus, in one embodiment, a set of Pre-Operative indicators 120 through 134 are on the Pre-Operative screen 110, a set of Operative indicators 220 through 242 are on the Operative screen 210, and a set of Initial Post-Operative indicators 320 through 334 are on the Post-Operative screen 310. Each indicator is capable of indicating various indicator states, illustratively displayed as a "stop light" or as stop light components, to allow the user at a glance to determine the readiness of each of the components or activities displayed on the screen. In the Pre-Operative screen 110 shown in
As illustrated in
To further enhance the utility of the indicators, certain indicators can be provided that change their state based on time from initial activation or from a certain entry into a status list. The updating requires logic and background calculations depending upon the specifics of the alert, and such can be programmed into the system, as is known in the art. For example, for certain activities, if the information is not updated within a certain period of time, the indicator state may change from green to yellow, or from yellow to red. Updating the information would be required to change the indicator state back to green. An example is illustrated in status list 253, which would show the green circle if antibiotics were administered between 30 minutes and 120 minutes ago, but would turn to the yellow (or amber) triangle if the antibiotics were administered, but had been administered outside that time period. The system would automatically update this status based on the time of administration and the pharmokinetics of the specific antibiotic.
As shown, each screen may have additional patent information, such as patient name, 12, 212, 312, gender, 113, 213, and 313, a patient identification number 114, 214, 314, and any other relevant information. Illustratively, a score 116, 216, 316 may be used to indicate an aggregate level of compliance and the patient readiness for the next action. Optionally, the score may be expressed as an aggregate score or may be expressed as a percentage. Also, in one preferred embodiment, the screens and their respective indicators are provided such that the status of the indicators are visually noticeable from a distance of at least ten feet, and more desirable would be fifteen feet.
Optionally, some or all of the status information may be reported to a quality assurance reporting system. This reporting may be done automatically without input from the user, or the user may be prompted to submit the information during one or more of the phases.
The following is a list of possible indicators that may be used for each of the three exemplary "phases" described in the operating room embodiment. It is understood that the list is not exhaustive, and that the list may be modified, depending on the specific application.
As shown in
Furthermore, in some embodiments it may be desirable to allow the user to move from screen to screen, to assess the status of other environments. Thus, when viewing the "Pre-Operative" screen 110 in the illustrative example, the user can use buttons 160 and 162 to page forward to the "Operative" 210 and "Post-Operative" 310 screens. From the "Operative" screen 210, the user can use button 262 to page forward to "Post-Operative" 310 or use button 258 to page backwards to "Pre-Operative" 110. Similarly, once at the "Post-Operative" screen 310, the user can use buttons 358 and 362 to page backward to the either of the first two screens. Optionally, the user can go directly to a particular screen (illustratively selected from a navigation bar) without paging. Such a feature is particularly useful for embodiments having a plurality of additional screens, wider displays, or other visual projection devices (including, but not limited, to holographic projection devices).
The systems of the present invention may optionally include one or more of the following features:
In testing the system, training, in obtaining information regarding sentinel events, or in using the system for other scientific purposes, randomization of various alert states may be employed. For example, in one exercise, the system will display either an alert condition (such a the red stop sign) or a non-relevant image for one or more indicators, depending on whether a particular input value is odd or even. In another example, randomization may be used to support a random allocation design. In this example, based on satisfaction of one or more criteria, either an alert condition or a non-relevant image is displayed. Such predefined criteria illustratively may be one or more of the following: patient age, patient gender, patient race, surgical procedure, or surgeon. Various other criteria, as are appropriate for the particular study, may be employed in the random allocation design.
The systems herein described can also be used to understand better the events that lead to sentinel events. Feedback from the alerting system can be used to study such events and the information obtained can be used to modify the sets of status lists to reduce future sentinel events.
It will be appreciated by those of skill in the art that the systems of the present invention may be used for a variety of healthcare environments and activities for those environments beyond that illustrated herein. For example, a system of the present invention could be used in the intensive care unit, on the hospital floor, at a patient's bedside, in a nursing station, at a physician workcenter, in a physician's office, in physical therapy, in a social work setting, as well as on mobile platforms such as an ambulance, an aircraft, or helicopter. Appropriate indicators may be selected for one or more phases in each of these exemplary healthcare environments. In an illustrative example for use in many of these settings would be reminders to reacquire a manual blood pressure measurement after a period of time An indicator could become a yellow triangle after a set period of time, and then go to the red stop sign after a longer period of time, unless the appropriate blood pressure measurement is taken.
Although the invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, variations and modifications exist within the scope and spirit of the invention as described and defined in the following claims.

Why aren't Batirov and Muradov gonna wrestle? Are they taking the whole year off?
Maybe they follow the US example.
Can you name any US guy who has wrestled after winning the Olympics?
Does anyone have the results from the Canada Cup?

A Free Soul is a 1931 Pre-Code film which tells the story of an alcoholic defense attorney who must defend his daughter's ex-boyfriend on a charge of murdering the mobster she had started a relationship with; a mobster whom her father had previously got an acquittal for on a murder charge. A Free Soul stars Norma Shearer, Leslie Howard, Lionel Barrymore, and Clark Gable (the first screen appearance together of the future Ashley Wilkes and Rhett Butler).
A Free Soul became famous for a sequence where Barrymore delivers a monologue that is said to be the main reason he won the Academy Award for Best Actor that year.[2] Gable made such an impression in the role of a gangster who pushes Shearer around that he was catapulted from supporting player to leading man, a position he held for the rest of his career.[3]

The movie was adapted by Becky Gardiner and John Meehan (dialogue continuity) from the play by Willard Mack, which was based on the novel by Adela Rogers St. Johns. However, according to MGM publicity material, the story on which this film was based first appeared serially in Hearst's International with Cosmopolitan magazine starting in September 1926. Although onscreen credits list only the book by Adela Rogers St. Johns, contemporary reviews list both the novel and Willard Mack's play.[3]
According to the Guinness World Records (2002), A Free Soul holds the record for the longest take in a commercial film, the final courtroom scene at 14 minutes. Since a reel of camera film lasts only 10 minutes, the take was achieved by using more than one camera.
The Canadian Pharmacists Association protested what they claimed was an unfair portrayal of druggists in the film. Minor deletions were made in the film by local censors following its release, and Ireland banned the film altogether. In 1936, the Production Code Administration recommended that the studio withdraw its application for reissue certification of the picture or face a possible rejection.[3]
A Free Soul was voted "One of the Ten Best Pictures of 1931" by the Film Daily Nationwide Poll.[3]
Box Office[edit]
The film was a big hit - according to MGM records it earned $889,000 in the US and Canada and $533,000 elsewhere resulting in a profit of $244,000.[1]

Kyle McAvoy possesses an outstanding legal mind. Good-looking and affable, he has a glittering future. He also has a dark secret that could destroy his dreams, his career, even his life. One night that secret catches up with him. The men who accost Kyle have a compromising video they'll use to ruin him—unless he does exactly what they say. What they offer Kyle is something any ambitious young lawyer would kill for: a job in Manhattan as an associate at the world's largest law firm. If Kyle accepts, he'll be on the fast track to partnership and a fortune. But there's a catch. Kyle won't be working for the firm but against it in a dispute between two powerful defense contractors worth billions. Now Kyle is caught between the criminal forces manipulating him, the FBI, and his own law firm—in a malignant conspiracy not even Kyle, with all his intellect, cunning, and bravery, may be able to escape alive.

At least culturally, it should be said, there's an extreme disconnect in terms of social mores. There's a certain directness that's difficult to assimilate as an American, along with a certain disapproval that maybe I'm just more sensitive to because of my privileged status as neither fish nor fowl. I used to say the Chinese perfected racism because they had to learn how to be racist towards people who didn't look substantially different from themselves. I became a case study in a graduate anthropology course once concerning the evolution of human sexuality. Asked about my object-choice apparatus (was I triggered more by distinct facial features than by hair colour, for instance, or body type?), I wasn't offended. It's a good question. So Matthew Salton's documentary Dwarves Kingdom is an uncomfortable watch for me, above and beyond all the ways the film should be uncomfortable for everyone. It essays China's titular theme park/vacation destination, a Disney--well, Casa Bonita--knock-off featuring hundreds of little people "collected or adopted" by an insane entrepreneur, who forces them...

Somewhere, King Hu is spinning in his grave. An abomination just about any way you slice it, this ultra-expensive, CGI'd-to-exhaustion wire-fu epic--especially as sanitized for North America's consumption--suggests the world's saddest public display of penis envy. Chen, hailing from the same Fifth Generation school as Zhang, produces a show-offy, self-indulgent bit of flamboyant one-upsmanship destined to become a queer camp classic. When the Crimson General (Hiroyuki Sanada) trades in his fabulous duds for a lavender muumuu in which to trade barbs with archenemy Wuhuan (Nicholas Tse, suspended somewhere between pretty girl and Japanese anime hero), a bad guy garbed in white feathers who wields a gold staff topped with a bronze hand, index finger extended in proctological menace, the homoeroticism of the piece--already distracting...

More than the formal homecoming, however, it's the nature of the storytelling that surprises in his newest--the leap from the elegiac tone of films like 24 City into the more primal stuff of pulp. A wuxia anthology with revenge-thriller overtones, A Touch of Sin is an unusually direct genre exercise for a master filmmaker, in the sense that, unlike Steven Spielberg's Munich and other comparably shame-faced prestige films that dip a single toe in the waters of genre, it doesn't condescend to the populist trappings of the material. Jia isn't slumming so much as tapping into the righteous indignation of a popular tradition of stories about wronged knights and ruined innocents, sincerely transposed here to the working-class fringe of a nation state in the throes of late capitalism. If Jia's violence comes fast and leaves a mess, then, it's a testament to his willingness to get his...

Before now, the only contact I'd had with the film was through a region-free DVD from Hong Kong that preceded the U.S. theatrical release by a couple of years. (After buying the rights to it, Miramax, you'll recall, decided to sit on it until such time as its unleashing wouldn't somehow interfere with timeless masterpieces of misguided schlock like Cold Mountain.) Anyway, I was appalled. The extent to which Hero has been dumbed-down--the insertion of "our country" for a term that means, in Mandarin, "beneath the sky" drums up this weird nationalistic gumbo at the end where, before, it was sober and idealistic--manages to paint Zhang as the worst kind of toad. There's an animated map at the beginning now, I guess to show the great unwashed American moron that there is land outside...

Chow is a genial, graceful physical comic in the mode of Jackie Chan, yet even sillier, if you can imagine that. Like Chan, he makes movies that feel conspicuously alien in a Hollywood context, in large part because he's expert in a discipline that Hollywood has lately devalued. In the U.S., the dominant style of comedy is verbally oriented, with quips, awkward characters, and contrived situations driving the gags. For Stephen Chow, comedy is largely body-oriented. It's not that he doesn't script situation comedy--a movie like God of Cookery, with its parody of celebrity-chef competitions (and John Woo movies!), is built on an elaborate sitcom frame--but that he's more obsessed with performance. Chow is preoccupied with people's faces, their body types, the way they approach one another, and how they stand in conversation or confrontation. By the time he did Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, it was easy to see how... Bill Chambers

Loftiest goal is just being there
CORPUS CHRISTI - I will never forget the look on Adrian's face the day I told him he was going to be a father. His eyes were wide with fear, though he tried to hold it together because I was falling apart.
We were 17.
A few days after the shock wore off, Adrian asked me to marry him. I said no.
I reasoned I'd watched enough girls head down this path to know that most end up raising their children alone. I decided if he was still around in a year, I would consider it.
During the next several months we had many discussions about the kind of parents we wanted to be. I wanted to be able to provide for my son. To be someone he could be proud of and look up to. Good goals, I thought.
But Adrian expected much more of himself -- much more than he was given.
My husband was born in San Antonio in 1975. His father was good with his hands and made furniture for a living.
And that's about all Adrian knows about his dad. His brother, a blessing from another failed relationship, knows just as much about his.
Their mother, in her early 30s at the time, never married and after Christopher was born, the only men in her life were her brother and her boys.
When Adrian was in kindergarten he used to come home from school upset. Where, he would ask, was his daddy and when would he come see him like everyone else's daddy did?
After a few years he stopped asking, but he never forgot how it felt.
Somewhere between that conversation in our high school hallway and holding my hand in the delivery room, Adrian decided he would be different.
His son would know where he got his height and his bushy eyebrows and have someone to one day blame for his receding hairline and stubborn streak. He'd be there to break the cycle that often is associated with growing up in a single-parent home and teach his son that there is a difference between fathering a child and being someone's dad.
Adrian made that promise not to me, but to the 7-pound bundle he first held in his arms the day after Mother's Day.
Since Naythan came into our lives 14 years ago, we have had many ups and downs. Perhaps because we chose to become parents at such a young age we've had more than our fair share.
We married after nearly 10 years together. And not once has he ever considered walking out on his kids.
It has taken us years (and two more children) to get comfortable with the idea of being responsible for someone else's life. To figure out the best way to raise them, though, is something we consider it a work in progress.
I like to think that so far I've been able to provide for my children. To feed their minds and bodies. And that I'll continue to grow into someone they can be proud of and look up to.
But Adrian?
Well, he's already hit his mark.
He's their daddy.

Customer Reviews
Great game that "sons" Temple Run!
The pictures and other user reviews are fairly accurate--the graphics are appealing. The controls are very easy to use. The concept is unique an was executed flawlessly. The only drawback would be that the game is difficult--I initially had trouble getting through the first level because the mines would catch me immediately after a series of boosts.
Wouldve gotten 5 stars!!!
Excellent interface, gameplay, story, gadgets, missions!!!! Almost everything about this addicting game is perfection!!! Never get tired of trying to beat your last score!!
If they could fix the crashing on te pause button, and add more levels and content, this could be the top endless running game in existence!!!
I look forward to more updates!!
Good game
Fun and addicting if you're into setting records and accomplishing missions (kind of like temple run or jet pack joy ride).
I'm curious, though: What is Verticus' super power?? How would a comic book based on the character actually work? Just wondering..
