This week’s UK PC Charts have just been released and as we can see, nothing can top SEGA’s soccer manager, Football Manager 2012. It’s really amazing that this soccer game is still at the top of the charts. Star Wars: The Old Republic is at the second place, followed by Battlefield 3. And it’s shocking that Modern Warfare 3 is nowhere to be found. This is a real blow to Activision as last week, Battlefield 3 has managed to surpass MW3 and this week, the gap between these two titles has been increased. Another great surprise in this week’s UK PC Charts is the return of Fifa Manager 12 and the fact that Starcraft 2 has gained three places and can be spotted now in the seventh place.

You know what? Color-blind gamers have the right to enjoy each and every game. Most of them can’t distinguish the difference between green and red hues but that doesn’t mean that they are bad players or that they are not as hardcore as most of you. And thankfully, Blizzard’s upcoming action RPG game will be quite friendly to all color-blind gamers, as the game is built with those gamers in mind.

Wow, now this is something interesting. We’ve known for a fact that the PC port of Resident Evil 4 was awful, since its development was outsourced to Sourcenext, but it’s shocking to hear that Capcom is so ashamed of it, that they’d prefer to simply forget about it and not make it available to any digital stores. Yes, Resident Evil 4 was one of the worst ports we’ve ever seen and in par with Sourcenext’s other PC ports, like Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition and Onimusha 3: Demon Siege, but we certainly didn’t expect that reaction from Capcom. Continue reading Capcom is ashamed and wants to forget that awful PC port of Resident Evil 4→
