Well it looks like the rumour of the Halo series (1-4) coming back as an HD remake set turned out to be true. All four games will be contained on one disc, with the focus of multiplayer being on Halo 2 as its anniversary is coming up this year. All of the games will be running at 1080p/60Hz so gameplay wise it will be one of the smoothest Halo experiences ever made (since PC).
Halo Collection will be coming to the Xbox One later this year on November 11th from 343-Studios.
Welcome back to the show! Jeremy, Josh, Brent, Arthur, and newcomer Terence, come together for this episode to talk about what we think will be at E3 along with what we want to see for ourselves. We talk about Microsoft and their changing issues with Kinect, Sony and their need to keep the games coming, and if Nintendo can turn around their fortunes and deliver the E3 surprises (Star Fox) that they need to make.

Intro/Ourtro Music: Not Mega - Retro City Rampage OST, Composed by Virt.
Well, today has been an up and down day for the Xbox One and PC with the announcement that the official drivers are out for the Xbox One controller which means it can be used for the just announced Dead Rising 3 from Capcom which is coming to the PC Summer 2014. This has gotten many in the gaming community a little ruffled as Dead Rising 3 was touted as an Xbox One exclusive title even before the systems launch in late 2013.
But on the other hand this is a game that more people should play in my honset opinion. It may be buggy and have issue, but I have found a great deal of just FUN while running around the city coming up with crazy ways to survive and take out the zombie hordes. The addition of the Xbox One controller support will help many people make the move one way or the other between the two platforms which could help them both in the long run.

Hey all, sorry this is almost a week late but I wanted to share a guest apperance I was fortunate enough to be invited on for the GamePolitics.com Super Podcast Action Committee special 100th Episode Google HangOut! I talked with Hosts Andrew Eisen and E. Zachary Knight, along with Gamepolitics.com Managing Editor James Fudge, fellow writter Jason D'Aprile, and Geek Culture Writer Carol Pinchefsky.
We talked about Nintendo and their current policies with YouTube, the upcoming E3 2014 show, and more! I had a blast and hope to be involved with their show again soon. Also, I admitted my Stockholm Syndrome for Nintendo...I guess the first step is admitting the issue, and the next will be to ignore it and play more Mario Kart 8.
Check the video below, as well as the original article over at Gamepolitics.com!
You read right, starting June 9th Microsoft will finally drop the price on their flagship console in order for it to be competitive with the Playstation 4. The catch? Kinect 2.0 isn't bundled with it. Yeah...I didn't care either.
They will also be releasing how to purchase a stand-alone Kinect will be put out at a later time. For more details, visit the source link below.

Welcome to the first 4-person episode of the Zenspath Podcast as well as the first one that also has a contest for a free XBLA copy of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet!
In order to get the game, you need to listen to the podcast, register on the site, and finally leave us a comment about what you thought of the show and tell us what music we used on this episode. [EDITORS NOTE: Because of the difficulty some people are having with my choice, I will be giving more clues as time goes on. This is a SNES ACCLAIM game.] Once we get a correct answer that person will get the code directly from me either via email, or we can get together on Xbox Live and exchange it that way. More games will be coming in the next few months as I can afford to do them, so please let people know so we can really get this little community going as well as what kinds of games or other give aways you would be interested in!
Now onto the show notes. We started things off with a very touchy and heated discussion about the whole Gamestop issue regarding them removing a code for a free copy of Deus Ex that Square-Enix had put into the retail PC copies of the game WITHOUT permission or even just letting Gamestop know about it before hand effectivly getting Gamestop to promote a direct competitor on their own dime. Not cool on Square-Enix, but the situation was handled poorly on Gamestops side as they played damage control when then opened and removed the codes from each game Square-Enix sold them. Eventually, after we recorded, they did issue a complete recall of the games and they have since been pulled from shelves until something can be fixed.
Other topics we covered:
* ICO/Shadow of the Colossus Collection bonus content

Almost done catching up with all of the media from the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con and thankfully I am finally able to post about a game that grabbed my attention on the floor and hasn't let go since.
The game is called "El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron" which releases on August 16th for the Xbox360 and Playstation 3. This game has an amazing art direction that feels like an expressionist painting come to life with an intriguing story to tell. The art carries over into character designs that feel like they fit into the world, yet at the same time feel greatly out of place. This isn't a knock against the game but does go to show that not only the world feels almost like what I would expect an acid trip to be like.
It's Memorial Day 2011 and this episode of the Zenspath Podcast is hosted by the one and literally only Jeremy Powers! Everyone else had prior plans for the holiday weekend so I am venturing out like Link and going this adventure all by my lonesome. But fear not because this show I talk about Duke Nukem Forever finally going Gold, Call of Duty: MW3 trailer, Child of Eden being shown off, Forza Motorsports 4, Skype gets jacked to Xbox, Gears of War 3 trailers its story, developers have issue with free games, NGP may become PS Vita as well as loosing some spunk, PSP games grow up to be PS3 games, we see Dead Island, Batman gets a bird and a possible kid, Darksiders gets an expensive nerd toy, LA Noire kills some systems, and Capcom pulls a big FU to the buyers of their PC games. Enjoy!
