Happy Monday!
Recently leaked images are floating around the net and the leaker claims they are from the rumored Silent Hill reboot, can't be sure if they are real, but they are a little convincing to say the least. Capcom, PlayStation, and many others are having great financial success, Seems like multiple companies will invest even more into their future titles. Jim Ryan is now on the hot seat, as his last company email wasn't received to well. Lastly it looks like Microsoft wont be having any happy holidays this year, as they have announced two major delays for titles that will move them into the next year. Looks like we've got another packed show this week ,so lets just get into it!
