PC gaming has been hit by a Sonic Boom!
Today Sega announced the release of two Sonic games and additional content, all for the PC through digital download markets. The first title is Sonic CD. The port is based off of the recently released XBLA and PSN versions. If you buy the title on Steam, you'll also get Metal Sonic and Tails costumes for the multiplayer game Spiral Knights.

Today Nintendo gave fans a taste of Resident Evil: Revelations via the first downloadable demo in the 3DS’ short lifespan. The first of multiple demos that also include ones for Rayman Origins and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, this will be the first time that many gamers are treated to what a portable Resident Evil will offer in 3D. But like all good things, this demo won’t last forever and is far more limited than you may expect.
You don't quite need a super PC to run the next Mass Effect.
Mass Effect 3 comes out on March 6, but it would probably be good to know if your PC can run the game before it's released. Luckily since the technology powering the upcoming game isn't much different from the previous game, PC gamers are getting a forgiving set of specs.

Take-Two’s Ken Levine revealed today that they’ll be creating a special difficulty setting for their upcoming release BioShock Infinite based on the results of a survey conducted on their web site.
Zen’s latest release is a good value for aspiring pinball wizards; just leave the 3D off!
You might have seen other pinball offerings from Zen; they are probably the most prominent creator of pinball video games out there right now on the iOS, Android, PSN, and XBOX Live Arcade platforms. The four tables in Zen Pinball 3D all appear elsewhere, which shouldn’t really be an issue for most pinball fans, since mastering tables takes practice and repetition. Zen’s latest package in the Nintendo 3DS eShop, Zen Pinball 3D, will satisfy those residual pinball yearnings.
Don't worry, it's not hackers this time.

The upcoming demo will showcase these features.
When BioWare announced that Mass Effect 3 would have Kinect functionality, many "hardcore" gamers let out a collective groan. As of now, the Kinect peripheral has yet to provide a solid gaming experience and has only managed to supply fun party games. However, gamers will be able to test out the Kinect functionality with the demo, due out on February 14th, Valentine's Day.
