Forged in flame
Dragon's Dogma Online seems to have had a promising start in Japan, as it was reportedly downloaded over 700,000 times during its first day on the market.

Review Mega Man Legacy Collection (PS4)
Six of the best
Despite Capcom's best efforts to forget that he even exists, Mega Man's popularity with players endures regardless of the lack of fresh outings. Such is the gaming public's adoration of this pint-sized hero that they will gleefully crowdfund spiritual successors (Mighty No. 9, we're looking at you) in lieu of a genuine Blue Bomber...
News S'Not Fair! Street Fighter V Battle Concluded with Booger
Oh nose you didn't
If this doesn't sell you on the upcoming Street Fighter V, then nothing will.

And in the video embedded below, the...

Not as bad as you may think
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 has already been overshadowed by much better games, but it is still one of the surprise packages of the year.

First Impressions Trading Blows in the Street Fighter V PS4 Beta
Execution, revolution, evolution
Street Fighter IV had a good run.

News Street Fighter V's Already Sounding Slammin'
\m/
Ultra Street Fighter IV was, in many ways, the perfect fighting game – but we'd point to its weird techno soundtrack as one of its only flaws. Street Fighter V sounds like it won't be making the same mistake, as a handful of audio samples have made their way onto the web – and they're much closer to what you'd expect from Capcom's iconic...

Back from the dead
Resident Evil Zero may have originally released on the GameCube, but it was in development for the Nintendo 64 prior to that.

Eye for an eye
Bringing down giant monsters was always a treat in Dragon's Dogma on the PlayStation 3.

Review Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition (PS4)
S-S-S-Stylishly enhanced
Since 2001, Devil May Cry has become a franchise that many hold dear - and for good reason.

Over the years, the series has seen its highs and lows, with the sequel falling flat and...
E3 2015 Take a Look at Street Fighter V Kicking Butt on the PS4
Insert shoryuken pun here
Street Fighter V had a pretty minuscule presence at Sony's E3 2015 press conference, but that's understandable since it's available elsewhere at the Los Angeles expo. Still, if you're looking for some footage taken directly from the PlayStation 4 version of the game, you've come to the right place. During Sony's live show...
E3 2015 Capcom's Morpheus Tech Demo Is Set in a Creepy Kitchen
Ready, steady, chop
Virtual reality is big right now, in case you hadn't noticed. There are a ton of games being announced for Project Morpheus, but there are just as many tech demos being revealed as well.

Two new challengers have entered the Street Fighter V ring: Birdie and Cammy.

Knockout
Sony's helping Capcom with Street Fighter V - this much we know. As such, the new-gen brawler will launch exclusively on the PlayStation 4 as far as consoles are concerned.

Shoryken use this pun again, Sammy?
We reckon that we could paint you a pretty accurate picture of what Sony's big E3 2015 press conference will look like next week, but it's all speculation until Shawn Layden takes to the stage and awkwardly confirms our suspicions. One game that always seemed certain for the show, of course, is Street Fighter V...

Stand clear of the doors
We remember Resident Evil Zero looking pretty good back when it initially released on the Nintendo GameCube, so it's nice to see that the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 remaster looks up to scratch.
