The 
zombie renaissance is in full swing — and if you’re looking to crown the current king of undead entertainment, it’s pretty hard not to pick The Walking Dead. The hit drama based on the equally awesome comic book franchise boasts legions of fans and some of the highest-rated episodes on AMC.
But the best Walking Dead experience currently out there isn’t found in a book or on a DVR. It’s happening in a spot all too familiar with zombie epidemics: your video game console.
Sony 
is putting its flagship video game system on a crash diet.
Confirming months of speculation, the company unveiled a redesigned PlayStation 3 at its pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference Wednesday.
While 
the US real estate market is still somewhat sluggish, things are picking up fast in Mexico.
With wage increases in China and Vietnam (as well as escalating shipping costs), outsourcing to the Far East isn’t as economically feasible as it once was, a situation that is forcing many companies to look closer to home. At the same time, retirees looking to make the most of their savings are considering relocation south of the border.
Greg 
Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka are more than just game designers. They’re two of the most genuine and talented people in the video game industry.
Together, they built Bioware into a powerhouse development studio and were the guiding forces behind hit games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age, Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights and Mass Effect.
Borderlands 
2 is not a game for pacifists. But for those who like combining the loot discovery of Diablo with the guns blazing, shoot-first-never-ask-questions style of classics like Quake or Unreal, it’s a match made in video game heaven.
The Gearbox Software game for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 hits stores today and has already charmed critics, who unanimously agree that it’s a better game than its predecessor thanks to great writing and strong visual design. With a Metacritic score of 90 — after 33 publications have chimed in — it currently stands as one of the most critically-acclaimed games of the year.
We’re 
still a good two months out from the official North American launch of the Wii U, but Nintendo’s next generation console system is already proving to be one of the holiday’s must-have items.
Several major retailers are already old out of the system online, meaning they’ve put a halt on pre-orders. Others, it seems, aren’t even giving people the online pre-order option, apparently reserving their stock for the launch day stampede.
Over 
the past 10 years, the “Resident Evil” franchise has raked in more than $700 million for Constantine Film — but if Paul W.S. Anderson’s childhood vacations had been more interesting, it might never have made a nickel.
Every summer, his grandparents would take him to a “grim” resort in England, where the only real entertainment for kids was the local arcade. For a long time, that simply meant pinball, but one day he walked in to find “Space Invaders” — and Anderson was hooked.
When 
“Resident Evil: Retribution” hit theaters Sept. 14, many of its faces no doubt looked familar — to fans of both the films and games.
The fifth installment in this 10-year-old franchise ranks as its most ambitious. And to ensure success, writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson tapped deep into the game and film’s mythology, assembling a who’s who of characters.
“Resident 
Evil” is an abstraction in the film world.
It’s a franchise based on a videogame that not only has found an audience, but also continued to build on it with each release. That’s a feat “Tomb Raider” couldn’t manage, even with Angelina Jolie filling out Lara Croft’s short shorts.
Nintendo’s 
announcement on Thursday that the Wii U would come in two flavors costing either $300 or $350 instantly sparked a lot of arguments.
Some thought it was too high a number. Some felt it fair. Few, it’s worth noting, vowed to boycott the system, so any objections fell short of the ones Sony faced when the PlayStation 3 was initially priced at an astronomical $500.
