Resident Evil 4 was a critically acclaimed, and high selling cross platform title for Capcom. With RE5, the developer has chosen not to fiddle with the winning formula much at all. Yes there is a new setting and some modern touches, but the RE structure remains. And it is not for everyone.

Roll Up! Roll Up! Come and witness the freak-show that defies logic. How could RockStar Games cram a Liberty City experience into the Nintendo DS. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, that’s how.

Real Time Strategy as a console exclusive? Was it such a good idea to take the Halo brand, make it a game of controlling little Master Chiefs and then put it on a console?

Digital Distribution of software is obviously here to stay; but only in recent times has the world of mobile gaming got a DD shot in the arm with services such as the iTunes Apps Store and the Nokia N-gage game software system. With the iPhone and other powerful handsets hitting the market, any wonder then that game developers are seeing the seventh platform as a lucrative venture?
