There is a video game series, one of my personal favorites, that is also quite dangerous.  The danger lies in the fact that if I sit down and start a session with with one of the games, I tend to play until I beat it.  When I noticed last week that Resident Evil 4 HD was on sale for half off, if you have Playstation Plus, and I picked it up, this very phenomenon occurred.  I now own this game three times and I’m okay with it.

It's just so EPIC!!

Monday is not getting away without a new episode of the ESH podcast, and this week as threatened promised, the ladies break down – and spoil the hell – out of Epic Games recently released third installment of the Gears franchise...Gears of War 3

Last year, one of the games that defined multi-player first-person shooters on consoles got remade for the Wii.  Today, Activision has not only announced a release date for the HD version of the game, coming to Xbox 360 and PS3, but also a special bundle specifically featuring the Playstation Move.  I am, of course, referring to Goldeneye 007: Reloaded, the remake of the classic N64 hit which still sits inside the console hooked up in my bedroom.

A new week, a new ESH Podcast Episode. This week the ladies talk zombies and statutory vampire rape with their takes on Deep Silver's action-survival-horror-RPG Dead Island and FUNimation's Dance in the Vampire Bund.

The Dragon Quest series has been like a nomad since pat 8. Dragon Quest IX never even came to consoles, and now we get news of Dragon Quest X. Since part 9 was exclusive to a Nintendo system, it was

So, a cradle for the 3DS that has a second analog stick.  Trust me, I know what you’re thinking, but let’s take a second, take a deep breath and break this down.  I’m not here to say that this practically confirmed rumor is a good or a bad thing, but it may not be quite what it looks like.
