How about that shipping day yesterday? With over a dozen new titles in stores, there's got to be something for everybody in there. No question about it — the ramp-up to the holiday season has begun!

I watched Last House of the Left, a remake of Wes Craven's 1972 action/thriller movie. I've never seen the original version, but the remake was a pretty good flick, with quite a few graphic scenes that will make you gasp and cringe.

We also watched the new Heroes episode, and while it may be better than last season, it's still all over the place, as if the writers have no idea in which direction to go. What happened to the NY bomb incident, the original heroes and the old company? There are way too many loose ends scattered about ....

Then there is House, which is always great, but we've been following Hugh Laurie since the late '80s, when he was in Black Adder, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Jeeves and Wooster, and we've even read his book, The Gun Seller.

Players can take their Sims on new journeys to famous real-world inspired destinations around the globe for the first time ever and seek out new adventures. While exploring the landmarks of an exotic city, there is no telling what the Sims will find.

While there has yet to be any official announcement, it is not exactly a secret that Ubisoft is working on a new installment in its popular Ghost Recon franchise. Earlier this year a projected release schedule for the next 12 months listed Ghost Recon 4, and its Q1 2009 financial result made mention of the game being delayed. The only new information comes from the Australian OFLC rating board which lists Ghost Recon: Predator as a multiplatform title with "strong violence"
