Quick poll: Who here remembers a project in development by the name of True Crime: Hong Kong? After developer Luxoflox shut its doors in 2010, gamers had to pretty much abandon all hope of the True Crime series reboot ever seeing the light of day.

Known as Sleeping Dogs, developer United Front Games now picks up where the defunct...

For fans of psychological horror, Silent Hill – at least during the early years of the franchise – symbolized the ultimate in videogame fear. Since its debut in 1999 so few survival-horror titles have managed to come close to the level of unrestrained fright that Silent Hill was capable of.  As the series may no longer be at the forefront of the horror genre, Konami is poised to offer reluctant fans a myriad of reasons to return to gaming's famed haunting grounds all...
