If you’ve managed to get past the less than stellar AI, then there’s a chance that you might have found yourself intrigued by Resident Evil 5’s Sheva. Art-Noir has captured her beauty and intensity in this portrait. The artist was able to really make it look recognizably like Sheva and bring out her features in a way that feels real. If I didn’t know better would have thought she posed in person for the drawing.

Recently I criticized Microsoft for implementing polices that don’t give gay gamers a lot of faith that anyone at Microsoft has their best interests in mind. Microsoft has taken the firm stance that any Xbox Live member who states their…

In case you don’t know the story, Microsoft suspended Teresa, an Xbox Live user for identifying herself as a lesbian in her profile.
