So, Resident Evil: Revelations is shipping with a pretty hilarious spelling error , and Capcom is offering to send a replacement insert to people who receive the misprinted box. For the love of God, don’t take them up on that offer . Or if you do, hang on to that defective insert for dear life.

You’d have to be a fus-ro- dummy to think that Skyrim would be through with receiving accolades. At last night’s New York Video Game Critics Circle Awards, the Bethesda Game Studios-developed RPG took home yet one more, earning the “Big Apple Award for Best Game” as decided by a cabal of NY-based game journos from various outlets.

SoulCalibur 5 comes out on Tuesday, so we thought we’d take this opportunity to take a look back at the very first tale of swords and souls, eternally retold.
