With great power comes great accessories. The Dodge Challenger Demon 170 is a 1,000-horsepower beast and racing down a drag strip in under nine seconds means you need some goodies to stay between the lines, which Dodge will have available soon through its Direct Connection parts catalog.

Since changing modern gaming with its original Nintendo Gamecube release in 2005, Capcom’s fourth entry in the groundbreaking survival horror franchise has seen ports ranging from newer consoles to mobile and even virtual reality.
