No new content here from the PS2 version, no graphics update – its just RE4 with Wii Remote + Nunchuk control. That’s probably all [...]
Manhunt 2 continues to be blacklisted for sale – the latest country would be Ireland, who apparently has never banned any videogame before. In commemoration of this momentus banhammering, Games Radar is running an amusing piece about the Top 10 Banned Videogames. I’ll list ‘em here but you should click through to see the whys [...]
