In my fifteen years as a gaming addict I have been lucky enough to, at some point, own almost every system released since the days of the Sega Mega Drive and let me tell you – I never met a console I didn’t like.

If like me you’re not just a games nut but a comic nerd, then you like me will be excited for the release of Marvel Vs.

A single frame of footage could well be responsible for instigating a wave of trouser-wetting excitement amongst survival horror fans. A still from the teaser trailer for Spike’s Video Game Awards displays boldly; ‘Stay Alert, Stay Alive, Report Symptoms’ as well as sporting that all too familiar biohazard logo that has become synonymous with...

With the success of Capcom’s franchises such as Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Mega Man and more recently, Dead Rising, you may be forgiven for forgetting classics like Dino Crisis (1999) and Onimusha (2001). Capcom, however, haven’t forgotten them. Not completely, anyway. It seems that they are waiting for inspiration, that idea that will breathe...
