Today, Capcom announced that an online download code for a demo of Resident Evil 6, the next mainline addition to the long-running franchise, will be provided for every gamer who purchases a new copy of Dragon’s Dogma.

LORD OF THE RINGS ONLINE: RIDERS OF ROHANWhen Lord of the Rings Online first went free-to-play, I jumped on board, curious to see how well Turbine, the celebrated developer of other MMORPGs such as Asheron’s Call, could capture Tolkien’s legendary Middle-Earth.

Naturally, wanting to start life in The Shire, I created a cute Hobbit Minstrel named Cabenting, and jumped in feet first.

For hours afterwards, I was lost in Middle-Earth. Not just a digital playground version, but the Middle-Earth. I was in love.
