It’s been a long time since I really had a ton of games to juggle. This week alone I’ve split my time between Grand Slam Tennis, Tiger Woods 10, Punch Out!!, Prototype, and Ghostbusters.

As a parent I cringed everytime I heard one because I tend to associate games with wholesome kid friendly entertainment, but as a mature gamer I was glad it was there because that’s the type of dialogue I’d expect to hear if there was a horde of infected zombies running amok in NYC and there was a shape shifting freak killing everyone. So I’m riding the fence on that topic. READ MORE
