With Hitman Absolution, The Walking Dead, and DmC all making for some great dicussion this week, it is a shame that it had to be overshadowed by Nick's mustache and Mike's celebratory drinks.

We try (and fail miserably) to stay focused but I am sure you will agree that our shenaniga...

It is a sad sad week for anyone who once called themselves fans of the famed Resident Evil series.
