    During a post-earnings Q&A session, Capcom revealed that they want to see Resident Evil 7 hit lifetime sales figures of 10 million units. Ten. Million. Units. Let's put that into some sort of perspective for you. From its launch in January through to March, Resident Evil 7 shipped 3.5 million units. This was already about 500,000 units short of their initial plan to sell 4 million units in that same span of time. Right now, the best selling Resident Evil title is... If you said ...

    E3 2017 Public Passes Sold Out

    ESA's move to open up E3 2017 to the general public seems to have been a rather big success for them. The public tickets have now been totally sold out.

Business passes are still apparently available for a mere $995. The announcement was made on the official E3 Twitter earlier today. ...

    Hey everyone! Wow, it's been a while since we last had an announcement here, so I thought it was high time I change that.

    As I mentioned in a brief blog post the other day, I will be phasing out the amount of daily news posted at Total Gaming Network. I will not be phasing it out completely. However, I would rather my time be spent more on the creation of original content such as reviews, previews of upcoming games, and perhaps more long-form content. I've been thinking ab...
