Of all the Resident Evil remakes to burst forth from Capcom like zombie-spawn in recent years, I am most intrigued by the just-unveiled Resident Evil Veronica .

In fact, it almost certainly isn't. Read more

This week in PC games: some enormous space sims and strategy games, plus a cheery prop hunt where you paint your own camouflage
Good news, everybody! We made it through the Summer Game Fest weekend pretty much unscathed. True, I have depleted neighbourhood stocks of ginseng and also, lost the ability to blink, but we got another Duskers out of it, didn't we?
