Resident Evil Mercenaries VS. stars Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Albert Wesker, each with their own unique weapon loadout.

At the moment my favourite is Dragon Age Legends, which you should definitely check out if you haven’t already, especially if you’re playing Dragon Age II. If RPG’s aren’t your thing and you’re after a puzzler, you may want to give...

Two weeks on, and we’re still counting the fiscal and human cost of Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami. If you’re one of those people that want to donate to the relief effort but have yet to get around to it – or, of course, you’re happy to give and give again – you might want to look out for Grasshopper...
