Oh glorious Wednesday we have missed you! Well not really but at least we got a new episode of the podcast to tide us over until something else that’s shiny comes along to distract us. We’ve been very busy bees this week and have all kinds of things to discuss, including:

Just a few weeks back on the podcast, we were discussing the rumors of Dead Rising 2. And now we have a new official trailer! This time we have a new lead character, Chuck Greene, and a new location, Fortune City. And apparently some new and creative ways to use weapons too; IE: the 2 chainsaws attached to a motorcycle - looks definitely appealing. You can check out our thoughts on the first game for both the Xbox 360 and the Wii.
A few episodes ago, a couple of the guys had a chance to discuss Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. Well now it looks like we’re getting a sequel this summer to the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise. I didn’t have a chance to check out the original Marvel vs. Capcom, and to be honest after Street Fighter IV I’m not sure how excited I am about this one, but I’ll certainly give this one a run up the flag poll.
As the new Batman: Arkham Asylum game gets closer to launch, we’re seeing some new character videos coming out providing us some more insight into the game. I can’t wait to get my hands on this as it certainly has the potential to be great.
And finally, I leave you with a bit of a different take on a classic sitcom. It always fascinates me how much of an impact the musical score can have to a visual medium. It pretty much speaks for itself so take a peek…
Ok, in case you have an urge to hear the original, I give you Dave Chappelle, John Mayer and Questlove!

Awwww yeah, we’re already at episode # 13. We’re short one person this week but we still have lots going on. We have a couple of Out of the Bin games for the 360 and we preview the first few episodes of the new animated series G I Joe Resolute. Here’s the rundown:
As always, leave your thoughts in the comments section.

I really enjoyed Bionic Commando Rearmed from last year and the thoughts of the same game play now in a 3D environment have me all tingly inside. This trailer gives a good look at said game play and what the wide variety of environments will look like. I’m personally not sold on the dreadlocks but the game itself looks cool. If you head over to Game Trailers they have a video that takes a further in depth look at the game play.
There have been a slew of direct to DVD movies for both DC and Marvel properties as of late. And now its Green Lantern’s turn. This looks to be an origin story which would be good for people like me who haven’t read a Green Lantern book in years and barely remember all the history. This may be a good preface to the Green Lantern film that’s rumored to be in production.
Known also as “Turkish Rambo”, this film was originally released back in 1986. And this week it finally sees its DVD release. There’s not much more for me to say, it kinda speaks for itself.
With a few spare hours and a willing audience, I’d gladly wax poetic on why Lost is the best TV show in the history of ever. And one of the reason’s for its success is the character of Benjamin Linus, who in my opinion is one of the more unique and captivating charters in TV or film. So when Michael Emerson, the actor behind Mr. Linus, stopped by Jimmy Fallon the other night, Jimmy had him do what only seemed natural for a guy who plays a creepy insane sociopath – read nursery rhymes.
