Enter the Haunted House, if you dare. Atari’s classic game has returned with more chills, cool new unlockables and plenty of spooky new enemies. The terrifying fun that lies within Graves Mansion is back, re-imagined for a new generation of gamers in celebration of the title’s 30th anniversary.
Metroid: Other M looks at the classic franchise from a new perspective: While much of the game is reminiscent of 2-D side-scrollers, players can switch the perspective into 3-D at any time as they explore the twisting passages of a derelict space station and delve deep into a cinematic, never-before-told story of bounty hunter Samus Aran’s past.

Wednesday is my favorite day of the week because we have homemade tacos for dinner. It's not some roach coach stuff or Taco Bell junk (OK, those aren't too bad, either).
Last night, we watched
When In Rome, which was nothing special but all right; the latest episode of
Entourage; and we started catching up on
Caprica, but so far it's not really drawing us in. It seems a bit weird in a sense that there is no clear direction for the series yet.
