Another new episode of the ESH podcast is ready for consumption, and we cover a bit of everything in this one. Including Pandalicious' new Xbox 360 Slim. The Xbox 360 of @LadyESH

The Peanuts gang have been around for a wonderful sixty years, and during that time we have been given classic comics, TV shows, movies and video games. This past June the folks over at Smart Bomb Interactive released the fourteenth Peanuts-based game in its sixty-year history: Snoopy Flying Ace. Needless to say, for a Charlie Brown game, I came out of this dogfight with eyes wide and jaws dropped. How is it possible that a Snoopy title, of all things, might turn out to be the best Xbox Live release of the year?

There has been quite a bit of talk about this years indie darling Limbo as of late.  Being quite the sucker for a game with an eerie atmosphere, I picked up the game and played through it.  One of the biggest things that people have been saying about the game is it’s the Braid of 2010.  While I can appreciate the statement from the point that it’s a fantastic indie game that has gotten a lot of critical praise, there is one point that I feel needs to be stressed when making the comparison.  Aside from some minor similarities, they are most definitely not the same game.

Another new Monday another new episode of the ESH podcast. We start this week's show talking about Sony and end it in typical ESH style: completely off topic and in-appropriately.

The Trauma Center series for DS and Wii has always brought a unique experience in the video gaming world, what with its surgery gameplay and storytelling. Some have complained, however, that the series has become too predictable in regards to its style. Fortunately the folks at Atlus have created a new way of taking on this world thanks to the new Wii game Trauma Team.

We’ve all played a flash game at least once. Ten to one, it was probably a tower defense game too. Flash games normally don’t stand up to full console games, and of course there are reasons for that. But what if flash games had a full community, with achievement points, chat rooms, and a place for up-and-coming game developers to show off their early works?

OK, let's continue cutting through the jungle that are the PSN Store's demo offerings.

Are you hungry? then let's check out Diner Dash.

If you like to play casual PC games, then you might have come across this type of game before: these are the restaurant games where you're taking orders in an ever-hectic environment, trying to please as many customers as you can.

I remember the days when I used to rent games rather frequently.  In those days, a game would come every once in a while that I enjoyed so much that I would rent it multiple times.  When I saw that one of them popped up on Nintendo’s virtual console on monday, I couldn’t help myself from grabbing it up.  Aero the Acro-Bat was a game created by Sunsoft back in the day for the SNES with the anthropomorphic animal with an attitude feel for it.  So, yes I did pick it up, but does it still hold the same fun today?

New Monday, new podcast episode. Don't let the title fool you, this is an episode of the ESH podcast, you'll just have listen to the episode to see how these two topics fit in with gaming and general nerd-doom.

Leave it to the Belgians to create a movie with a random chain of events, ending with one hilarious conclusion. Such is the case of the 2009 animated film A Town Called Panic.
