Well it’s getting close to Halloween, so I thought I’d treat you all to a super scary blog! Well, it’s not that scary. During this time of year, our minds drift to thinking of all sorts of Halloween monsters, from witches to zombies to ghosts.

I don’t understand why anyone would find that alluring. And don’t get me started on that Twilight junk. So I started to think about if there are any famous vampires that I actually like. And I thought of five. Just five. So I thought I’d share them with you all!

Anyway, use your whole body to swim in Olympic style races with Michael Phelps: Push the Limit for Xbox 360 Kinect.

You may have seen or played Mercury when it sloshed onto the PSP or Wii, but now it’s oozing into HD with Mercury Hg on Xbox Live and PSN.
