Trailer: Let’s watch people getting scared by The Evil Within

May 28, 2014

News by Matt S. We have a lot of hope for The Evil Within. With Resident Evil’s degeneration into a safe action series, the horror genre itself has been left for independent developers, and while these games are often great, we can’t help but hope that a horror game with…

Review by Sam M. One of the reasons I love my Vita is that it has allowed me to play a large assortment of games that I never got to experience before. Sony has taken the liberty of porting quite a few of its PS2 and PS3 games tto the…
