Vanquish, the newest Platinum Games title courtesy of Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, is coming this winter onto PlayStation 3. What we know of the game so far is that it involves a Russian attack on the United States, using a “hijacked solar satellite, and … that’s pretty much it. So then it’s exciting to the newest details on Vanquish, which is sounding better every time we hear about it.
