“Don’t pretend you don’t like it, Ricky!” Welcome back for this week’s Head2Head of Splatterhouse for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

So come on into our little Splatterhouse to see which version is shaping up to be the one to own.

With the series getting its first new release in over 17 years this Tuesday, we thought it would be a perfect time to take a look at the only home console release of the game that started it all.
