With two major launches just around the corner we decided what better time than now to discuss who will have a better launch and following months leading up to the holidays. That's right, the gloves are off, and we're pitting Microsofts golden goose, Halo: Reach up against Sony's entry into the motion space, the Playstation Move. For our second topic, thanks to a recent editorial from Tyler, we discuss Rhythm games and the genre as a whole. Where they've been and even where they're going. For our third segment, we brought in a topic we were set to discuss during this week's DualCast but as you know we didn't have a chance to record this week, so we took time out of the ShockCast to make up for it. That topic was social responsibilities in MMO's and some people's inability to balance a healthy lifestyle after succumbing to gaming addiction. All that and much more in this week's show. Make sure to give it a listen!
