What happens when you play Reality Fighters with a six foot AR card?

Sometimes you just have to print out a six foot AR card and play Reality Fighters with life size people. You’ll know when. For me that time was today.

Resident Evil 6 – What would Leon look like if he ditched his 1998 haircut?

Sweet merciful, Lickers above. What monstrosity doth offend my ocular cavity? Why, it’s Leon S. Kennedy from the new Resident Evil 6 trailer sporting a Justin Bieber ‘do. Our Secret Service agent’s locks haven’t been touched by a pair of sheers since his first day on the Raccoon City beat back in 1998. So we decided it was time to see what he’d look like if zombie Brutus the Barber Beefcake when to town on those oh so stylish curtains.

Ghost Recon Future Soldier preview, new screens and hands-on

Why should you care about another modern shooter? It’s a tough question, and one I’m not sure Ghost Recon: Future Soldier can answer convincingly, even if Jeremy Paxman were giving it a grilling. Some of its environments look ominously COD-like, and those are big toes to step on. But under the generic visuals lies the ace up Future Soldier’s sleeve: deadly gadgets and gizmos galore. Basically, this is Sam Fisher doing Modern Warfare.
