Bleeding Edge is the latest videogame from Ninja Theory, the studio behind Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and DMC. It's a multiplayer-only team-based melee/shooter game released this year in late March. Set in the year 2057 as society struggles to exist in a dystopian and corporate world. Entertainment and survival coexist in televised battles to the death. It is here that Daemon and his team of augmented combatants form the Bleeding Edge! On the surface, it's Smash TV for the current generation, and with the pedigree of Ninja Theory, there is a high expectation for the game. And with publisher Xbox Game Studios behind the team, will this be the hit multiplayer game of 2020? And in our main segment, we review Resident Evil 3, the remake of the 1999 Capcom classic, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Following the success of last years, Resident Evil 2: Remake. We expect the same level of detail and enhancements that made that game such a runaway hit. While the original RE3 did receive mixed reviews back in the day, fans are eager to see how Capcom can take the franchise to new heights. Especially with the games legendary antagonist Nemesis, who ranks among some of the greatest videogame villains of all time. Still, fans are worried that a year to develop a game might not be enough time to release a product of quality.
