Resident Evil: Degeneration Trailer

Most of us hate airports enough as they are. You’re either running like mad, or waiting for hours, often beside people who drool, snore, smack when they eat, or generally smell horrendous.

Guinness World Records: The Game

I don’t know whether to say that we all should have seen this coming, or to ask who in the heck in their right mind saw this coming. Guinness World Records and the video game industry have been such lovey-dovey bedfellows lately, all stemming from the release of the Guinness Book of World Records: Gamers [...]
