Pyramid Head, the main antagonist from the iconicSilent Hill 2, is not exactly what you would call “cute.” However, there’s always room for some adorableness, even in horror, and there’s a plush toy of the monster that’s being made available next year. After the Credits, a company that specializes in video game and pop culture memorabilia, recently uploaded an image of the loveable-looking Pyramid Head. Despite the fact it still resembles theSilent Hill 2villain, you can’t help but coo at him in this context....

Let me just put my face on Keiichiro Toyama has released a new video that which sees theSilent Hillcreator reflecting on his storied career, while quietly teasing the mystery title currently in development at his new company, Bokeh Game Studio.

Very a-peel-ing Sega has released a typically boisterous new trailer for the upcomingSuper Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD,giving longtime franchise fans the opportunity to catch a glimpse at some remastered courses, as well as a glut of fun-looking mini-games.

You need only peep the handy infographic below to realize the hit Sony is taking. This data pits the total retail sales of every Vita game in Japan against the retail sales generated by theMonster Hunterseries, which is sitting happily on the Nintendo 3DS....
