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.- Resident Evil 6

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.- The Aigis Stick is Complete.
