History in the Making? Bronco Blitzkrieg!

Poor Andre Caldwell. The Denver Bronco receiver only caught one touchdown pass from Peyton Manning in Denver's 49-27 win over Baltimore in Thursday night's much-ballyhooed NFL season opener.

It's like one of those baseball games where you go down the scorecard and everybody's got a hit. In this case, though, one hit was pretty pedestrian.

Manning's new slot receiver Wes Welker caught two. Tight end Julius Thomas caught two. So did wideout Demaryius Thomas.

This wasn't some preseason game against Jacksonville. This was seven TD passes in a game against the defending Super Bowl champions. It isn't that the Ravens didn't know what hit them. They knew all too well what was hitting them and they couldn't stop it.

Yes, this is obviously premature, but it is fun to speculate on what we could be seeing this year: a record-setting offense by one of the best quarterbacks in league history with a boatload of potent offensive options.

"...He was just so nonchalant about doing seven touchdowns like it was nothing," Welker told USA Today. "It was pretty cool to be a part of it."

Last guy to throw seven TD passes in a game? Joe Kapp, back in 1969. Those of you who were sentient beings back in 1969 might never have figured Kapp as the last guy to do it. Look him up, young bucks, learn some history.

Because you might be watching history this year.

NFL Week Two: Brother Vs. Brother

Everybody I know who plays sports and has a brother would rather lose to anyone other than that brother. Other than, maybe, his sister.

That's why I find it hard to believe the Manning family - father Archie and brothers Peyon and Eli - doesn't go through envy, jealousy and worse.

They swear they don't.

Peyton and Eli horse around together, like most brothers, but insist there is no heated rivalry, though both are starting quarterbacks in the NFL.

Eli was the first overall draft pick out of Ole Miss, holds a mess of both franchise and league records, and was the MVP of two Super Bowls.

Peyton is 37 and nearly five years older than Eli. The older Manning has more individual accomplishments, and is considered one of the best quarterbacks of his generation, but can't match his younger brother's Super Bowl record.

But, Eli is 0-2 against Peyton in the two games they've faced off in the NFL. The two will meet Sunday - Peyton leading the Broncos and Eli leading the Giants - and it will probably be the last time they ever meet professionally.

All of the Manning family members say they hate these matchups. Cooper, the oldest brother, went to the first game between his two younger brothers and swore he would never watch another, mainly because he figured out that when he rooted for one brother, he was rooting against the other.

Most of the rest of us will be watching Sunday. The Denver-New York matchup is just one of a slew of juicy NFL games tonight and this weekend. Here is my rundown of the top, can't-miss games.

Super Sleepers: Can One of These Underdogs Defy the Odds?

Remember the Jets and Miracle Mets of '69? The 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team? The Buster Douglas-Mike Tyson stunner?

Every sports fan loves a great upset, especially when it's his team doing the upsetting.

The Super Bowl has had a few surprises, other than the Joe Namath-led Jets beating the Baltimore Colts in 1969.

There was the Giants win over the 12-point favorites, the Patriots, in Super Bowl XLII, ruining New England's perfect season. And there was the Chiefs over the Vikings, who were also 12-point favorites, in Super Bowl IV. Just to name two examples.

Actually, it's getting to be sort of a trend in the Super game. When the Ravens whipped San Francisco last year, it was the third straight year the game was won by a team seeded third or lower in its conference.

The same could easily happen again this year. So I put together this list of the teams, none of whom are the favorites of the odds-makers, who could again sneak up and do the unexpected.

Do you have a sleeper?

IMO Bloodstone is the best Bond game on the PC platform, I really liked it.

Space Hulk: Deathwing?

Coming in 2014.

Videocard: SAPPHIRE HD 7770 1GB OC Processor: Phenom II X4 B50 Quad 3.2 Soundcard: SB X-Fi Xtreme Music 08-25-2013, 15:19 | posts: 3,574 Word has leaked through the communications array that Streum On Studio - the team responsible for the pretty-rough-yet-kinda-great E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy - is working on a Warhammer 40,000 game based on the Space Hulk board game.

Space Hulk: Deathwing has been revealed through leaked paper documents uploaded to NeoGAF. The game is to be a first person shooter set in the cramped confines of the Space Hulks, with players strapping on the Terminator armour of one of the Emperor's best Space Marine chapters: the Dark Angels.

The description in the scans explain that players will take on the role of a Librarian. If you're not familiar with the 40K universe, Librarians are indeed the keepers of books, but books that contain the secrets to mental powers. As a Psyker you'll be able to blast enemies with mind bullets and tear their brain apart. An RPG-elements system will allow players to spend points in four different skills trees.

As a Space Hulk game, the Marines will of course be facing the Tyranid Genestealers.

Provided this is all true, I'm surprised that another Space Hulk game is on its way so soon after the one that has only just hit Steam. It also doesn't seem to fit the FPS mould well; are not cramped corridor shooters a thing of the 90's? And with the massive war zones of the 40K universe, would a large-scope shooter on the Unreal engine with that superb art style not be something divine? Still, Deathwing could well be the game Aliens: Colonial Marines should have been; a claustrophobic, tense experience with scuttling little bastards jumping out when you least expect them to.

Provided the scans are legit, Space Hulk: Deathwing will be published by Focus next year. We'll keep you posted on any further developments.

I have been waiting for a good teammate. It is challenging too with no check points in all.

None of my friends have the game or are planning to get it, and my brother wont be convinced because he hated conviction.

Steam name is Hanzy.
