"The Sony PlayStation essentially came out of nowhere in the mid 1990’s to take on both Nintendo and Sega in the heated console wars. With some impressive technology and a heavy marketing budget behind them, Sony rallied a number of the best game developers in the industry to create a powerhouse library of games – many of which laid a solid foundation for generations to come.

This overview of the PS1 takes a look at the games that made the largest impact on the industry at the time and gav..."

"Kohler: I suppose it does do that -- the plot of the film leads directly to Resident Evil 5, so die-hard fans will likely scrutinize every last detail. The plot follows characters from the games, Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, as they attempt to put down yet another outbreak of a manufactured virus that turns people into zombies. As someone who's just casually interested in Resident Evil games, I found Degeneration's plot to be entirely insubstantial, a paper-thin excuse to shoot grotesque..."

"Resident Evil is said to be born from a Japanese horror movie, “Sweet Home” (which was actually based on an NES game of the same name). Although “Sweet Home” itself took its inspiration in turn from several Western movies, it nonetheless carries with it the strong hallmark of the way Japanese culture treats horror – and that distinctly Japanese fear factor is what made Konami’s Silent Hill, Tecmo’s Fatal Frame, and Sony Japan’s Siren what they are.

Why did the angry people attack an outsider with pitchforks and torches ?
Because they were religious !"

"Video game characters are increasingly becoming the poster children for gym membership. With most of gaming’s heroes and heroines being chiseled, pert and with cheek bones you could grate cheese on, there seems to be less and less room for the more gelatinous gentleman in the industry.

That’s why we thought we’d celebrate those characters who said no to Atkins and still managed to pull off moves that would shame most gold-winning Olympians. But while they might seem fighting fit on your co..."

"Today at the San Diego Comic Con, fans were treated to the first footage from the Capcom / Sony Pictures Entertainment collaboration, Resident Evil: Degeneration. Making its theatrical debut this fall in Japan and coming to DVD and Blu-ray in North America later in 2008, this spectacular, all-CGI animated feature takes the zombie action to a whole new level with its ground-breaking visual effects and thrilling new storyline"

" Mention Survival horror and it immediately garners images of Chris Redfield blasting zombies or James Sunderland bludgeoning pyramid heads with a plank of wood. But in the survival horror genre there are as many iconic female protagonists as there are male. Gaming_Issues pay homage to them today.
