Wonderful Wikis 

So Resident Evil 6 came out this week...and everyone proceeded to have conflicting opinions about the game. Well don't let that discourage you to check out the crazy detailed wiki pages for everything Resident evil this week because they are all crazy good. Once you are done looking over those pages check out the detailed pages for a couple of PC games that came and went this week, those being War of the Roses and Carrier Command. Finally get nostalgic by reading over the Marvel Super Heroes wiki if the Quick Look for Marvel vs. Capcom Origins peaked your interest, and check out the Sid Meier's SimGolf wiki to see why Ryan thinks it's nothing short of amazing.

User CornBREDX went retro and went back and played Heart of Darkness and discusses how it was ahead of its time and if it has held up.

Apocralyptic's monthly update blog was admittedly digital with much of his time spent on Spelunky and The Binding of Isaac whereas Fattony12000's monthly update blog was predominately about Borderlands and Magic the Gathering. Mento complied a list of random thoughts about Borderlands 2 and how he thinks it could have been better while Marino compiled the stats for the month of September on which of you were the most active users last month either on the wiki or forum side of Giant Bomb.

Fantastic Forums  

The forum highlight for this week handily is gravitypenguin who shares his rather impressive Aigis Persona 4 Arena fight stick. Now that the NDA for MechWarrior Online has lifted ask people who were in the recent closed Beta any questions you have about the game. Or if you were in the MechWarrior Online Beta share your thoughts on the official discussion thread. Also if you have purchased Resident Evil 6, much to Brad Shoemaker's chagrin, talk about how you feel about the game, good or bad, on the discussion thread for the game. 

Lovable Lists 

GB user VikG is a new user who has started his Giant Bomb usership by making a couple of personal lists related to his most notable PC gaming moments as well as people he consider to be important to the development of the video game industry. Finally we see the return of Giant Bomb list master Mento with a list of notable guns that are not in or referenced in Borderlands 2.
