News TGS 11: Why Is Korn In The Trailer For Silent Hill: Downpour?
You know what? Silent Hill: Downpour actually looks pretty good
Sure, we doubt it will ever live up to the heights of the series, but then we don't expect it to. The original couple of Silent Hill games were extraordinary, so it's no surprise. What we don't understand is why Konami is doing its very best to give fans a bad impression. This TGS...

News TGS 11: Catch A Glimpse Of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 On PlayStation Vita After The Jump
There's some footage of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 on PlayStation Vita after the jump

News TGS 11: Localised Yakuza: Of The End Would Have Tweaked Controls
Yakuza: Of The End is actually a really fun game
