Have you ever giggled maniacally while dismembering a mythical creature?  If you’ve played any of the games in the God of War series, then there’s no way the answer to that question is no.  God of War III launched earlier this year to wrap up the main trilogy in the series, but before that we had the delightfully epic God of War II to enjoy.  Today, I’ll be exploring why it’s important to remember that if a series ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

There is a new trend that’s picking up speed lately.  High-Definition remakes of games for the Playstation 2 have been coming faster and faster as of late.  With God of War Collection earlier this year, The Sly Collection hitting just last week and Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection coming next year, there is plenty of disc-based HD PS2 action to go around.  Add to that, releasing tonight is an HD downloadable Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for your playing pleasure.  That being said, there is one big question when it comes to these games: What’s wrong with the disc you already have?

Finish what you started...

The best way to kick off the beginning of a fresh new week is with a new episode of the Electric Sista Hood podcast. This one has an audience question, video game reviews and anime... the holy trifecta of ESH!

We start off with a question brought to us by William Bell of TheXboxDomain which fuels the conversation for the bulk of the show about how nit-picky we have become as gamers. From growing up and having to learn to love what you get, to almost being apathetic as new titles flood the market. Pandalicious and NinJaSistah don't really come to an agreement on the subject, but it is a fun journey towards an answer nevertheless.

Then we move on to hands-on video game reviews of Bethesda Softworks new release Wet on the PS3 and NinJaSistah's knee-jerk reaction to the DJ Hero demo. Then we chat about the Dreamcast/PS2 games available via PSN rumor and Pandalicious tops out the hour with her coverage of the anime series Black Buttler

Here is a quick glimpse into what the episode is like:

• Five-Year-Olds Don't Need Boom Boxes
• My Douche-Baggery Made You Better
• I'm Not Condoning Eating Cats
• Videogames Are Not a Pos-Apocalyptic Guide
• and finally
• Spoiler Alert! Bambi's and Norman Bates' Mothers Both Dead

Dig in and enjoy Electric Sista Hood Podcast Episode 165: Pandalicious Loves the Hired Help

This week, I promise not to bring up Pandalicious' little escapade in recorded audio incident on the new episode of the podcast.

Ooops, I already did. My bad Panda, my bad.

On the podcast this week, NinJaSistah and Pandalicious attempt to go all anime on your ass. From Panda's Code E/Mission E two'fer to NinJa sharing some of her first impressions of Mushi-Shi and Michico E Hatchin and Personal 4.

The girls talk a bit about a bunch of things in this episode. No love toilet talk, but they do go on a few tangents. Check out some of the titles that came up, but weren't chosen as the winner:

• Anime or May Not
• I Failed the Flying Test in High School
• Pandalicious Portrays Herself in "A Night in Panda"
• Finally -- Some Anime Characters That Aren't the Other White Meat
• The Kids Have Been Around the Block a Few Times Now
• It's a Fresh of Breath Air
• You Could Make a Live Action Version of Mononoke... BUT DON'T
• Leave the Actors Where They Are, Just Move the Scenery
• I Never Made It Past the Part where They Brought In the Munchkin Asian Chick
• and
• Panda's Put Pictures of Her Pie On the Internet

It's another laugh filled episode of the ESH podcast, so have a seat, grab a frosty beverage and enjoy ESH podcast episode 115: This Title Has Nothing To Do With Mecha Booby Bouncing

Being Monday, we had to hit you with a new episode of the podcast... but this one probably should have been left in the oven a bit longer.

Poor Pandalicious has having some serious internet issues which left Evermore with a hell of a job editing a show together, but they pulled it off pretty damn well if you ask me. In this episode of the podcast, Panda shares her top five video games of 2008 [so far] with you. There are a couple of honorable mentions and a list that I only have a single problem with. Let's see if you can guess which game gives me the heebie geebies.

Have a seat and enjoy: My Top 5: Video Games of 2008.
