A lone hero versus a creepy madhouse filled with zombies and other horrific creatures of the night?  It’s been done before,  but it’s never felt this real. Sega’s Rise of Nightmares is the first ESRB M-rated title exclusively for the Kinect peripheral, and after taking one look at the...

Of all of the assorted kiosks that were available to play after the Sony E3 press briefing, there was just something about the Resistance 3 multiplayer preview that seemed to be calling out to me.  This was particularly odd to me, especially considering how middling my opinions have been about prior...
