Indeed, game designers are starting to act like directors--guys like Sid Meier (Alpha Centauri) and Adrian Smith (Tomb Raider) who closet themselves in high-end studios for two years at a time, ceaselessly fine-tuning...

Siedlicki now looks to take the next step, with his team at 8-1 and poised to take a share of the league title...
...Unfortunately for Sands, his senior year hasn't turned out to be all the glamour and glory he hoped it would be. In addition to the personal pain of injuring his thumb, the team's devastating losses and dismal record make Sands frustrated...
