News Resident Evil: Afterlife Movie Trailer Features Chugging Guitars, Loneliness, Albert Wesker
Here's your second look at upcoming movie Resident Evil: Afterlife then

News XBOX Man: Web Browsing On PS3 Is "A Nightmare"
We don't know about you lot, but we actually use the PS3 web browser all the time

High Velocity Bowling has been on my Playstation 3's hard-drive for a long time

Honestly, who cares? The game's too badly written and voiced to give any sane player a semblance of interest

Despite Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands being a reboot of a franchise we already thought was rebooted in 2008, this game looks kind of awesome.
