Hello, followers of He Frag, She Frag! I’m writing to tell you why things have been so slow here lately, and to keep you tuned in because frankly, we don’t want to lose the two of you that actually read this. Now I know I said three weeks ago that there’d be something substantial for you to read. Well, again, I was wrong; and again, you are wrong for trusting in me.
No, I’m not being serious. But there have been some honest technical difficulties going on behind the scenes here, namely a) our 360 decided to throw us the 3 Rings of Death recently and b) we haven’t had any money to buy any new games. Not that we could play any new ones since our 360 died, but it’ll be about a month or so before we get it back. Sooo…in the meantime, what shall we entertain you with? Something news related? Maybe even throw in some nostalgia? That’ll probably have to keep you sustained until further notice.
So that about wraps it up, kids. We haven’t abandoned you. Now I’m going to sit in a remote corner, convulse and foam from the mouth because of my 360 withdrawal syndrome.
Catch you on the flip side, boooiiiieee!

Sorry for the break between updates. We’ve had an extremely busy month so far! Between all the doctor’s appointments, our son taking off walking all by himself and being on vacation, we haven’t had much time for gaming ( at least I haven’t).
Don’t fret! He Frag, She Frag will be back next week with more posts. Stay tuned.

I guess it has been quite a few days since I last posted. Sorry for the wait, guys. You’d think a stay at home mother would have nothing better to do than to blog all day, but that’s where you are wrong, my friend!
First off is some news, and I want say RIP to Gary Gygax. You will be sorely missed.
Yesterday we picked up Lost Odyssey in favor over Army of Two mainly because I’d been anxiously awaiting a JRPG for the 360. Currently I am about 4 hours into the game and have hopeful expectations for where it can go from here. I must say, it’s been a pleasurable experience so far. I think this game is where the Final Fantasy series should have gone after Final Fantasy VIII. Saying thus, it might leave you wondering, “Just what the hell do you mean?”. Indeed, I said this to Mike and he had a similar reaction. (more…)
For you shooter fans out there who prefer playing with a buddy (and using equal parts brains and brawn), I have a good cooperative-gameplay opportunity for you; EA’s Army of Two.
Slated for release on March 4th (next Tuesday!), Army of Two focuses on 2-player teamwork – necessitating the help of either your AI partner or human co-player (maybe your significant other?) to complete the story campaign.
What I find to be the coolest aspect of this title are the various maneuvers you and your teamie can partake in; one can pull a door off a car and hold it in front of themselves while you follow behind, firing over their shoulder – or even drag your wounded friend to safety, while they continue to fire on pursuing enemies. Heck, you can even give them them a ten-finger upsy-daisy; all of which are just the tip of the iceberg.
I’ll spare you all the details and let a preview do that for me, if you’re interested. Jaz and I are excited about this one, and will definitely be checking it out – and blogging about in its wake.
It’s be available on the X-Box 360 and Playstation 3.

Also, I wanted to echo this announcement from EA that I learned about while surfing WCNews.com – a site dedicated to Wing Commander and other Ex-Origin intellectual properties. Apparently, the company is looking to return to one of its classic franchises, and many believe that it might be a new Wing Commander (my favorite game series). The suspense is killing me.
