Gaming Editor Fergal Carroll brings you questionable scares, a maddening adventure and finally does you a favour. The Biggie: The biggie this week is a somewhat controversial choice, Resident Evil 6. It was released at the start of October to a surprisingly (in my opinion) hostile response. Resi isn’t the same game today compared…
FIFA fanatic Kevin Casey takes a look at EA’s latest offering. When I first started playing FIFA 13 I had already formed an opinion in my mind that this game couldn’t possibly be better than last year’s excellent FIFA 12.
