News Claire Redfield's Military Costume Doesn't Look Particularly Practical
It's 'armless
As revealed earlier in the month, Claire Redfield can change into a military themed outfit in Resident Evil 2 – assuming that you order the Deluxe Edition of the game, or one of its many other premium permutations. And here’s our first look at the legendary heroine sporting her army attire. We must say, this doesn’t look...

News Resident Evil 2's Lickers Look About As Terrifying As You'd Expect
Lickiii-tung
Licks can be seen as signs of affection – particularly from adorable little puppies. In the case of Resident Evil 2’s iconic Lickers, though – yeah, we’d recommend steering clear of their extending tongues.

Hands On Devil May Cry 5 Is the Sequel You've Been Waiting For
Dante stop believin'
Wherever you stand on DmC: Devil May Cry, the fact is that Ninja Theory didn’t deliver the game that fans wanted.

Hands On Resident Evil 2's Action Is Intense on the PS4

We recently got to go hands on with Claire Redfield’s portion of the campaign, and while our demo was restricted to a...
Review Mega Man 11 - Hard As Rocks Return for the Blue Bomber
Robot rock
It's been eight years since the last Mega Man game, but you'd be forgiven for thinking it wasn't that long ago.

News Devil May Cry 5 Has Microtransactions for Some Stupid Reason
Oh FFS Capcom
Capcom, why? You were doing so well! Just when you're on the verge of thinking Capgod is back, the Japanese company does something really stupid to remind you that yes, this is still modern Capcom.

Dante's battle theme pulled
Yesterday, we reported on the newly revealed music track for Devil May Cry 5, titled Subhuman. It's the song that's set to play when Dante is in combat, but it didn't go down well at all with fans.

Hands On Mega Man 11 Brings the Blue Bomber Bang Up to Date on PS4
You rock, man
Capcom should probably send a thank you letter to Keiji Inafune before the year’s out.
