Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan) is 15 years old, can you believe it? To commemorate the series’ 15th anniversary, Capcom announced [JP] the so-called Resident Evil 15th Anniversary Box for the Japanese market today. → Read More
Survival horror video game series Resident Evil has sold well over 45 million units since the first title came out back in 1996, on various platforms, for example the PlayStation 1, the Nintendo DS, or the iPhone. But there has never been a mobile social game in the series (“Biohazard” in Japan) – until this week. → Read More
God bless them for trying. Sony Japan will release two PlayStation Move bundles to hopefully kick-start the motion controller era. Oh, wait: the motion control era started nearly four years ago with the Nintendo Wii, and now it’s in danger of losing the casual audience to things like Farmville and Farmville-ville. That’s the game where you play the role of someone who’s playing Farmville. You’ve got the PlayStation Move Bio Hazard 5 Alternative Edition Special Pack and the PlayStation Move BIG 3 GUN SHOOTING Perfect Pack. Perfect Pack, ladies and gentlemen. Curt Henning would have approved of that one. → Read More
Around two years ago, Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, went open source. Today marks the first official release since that magical day. And let me tell you something: Dolphin works really, really well. Give it a shot when you have a chance. → Read More
Surely you’ve heard of Shinji Mikami, right? He’s basically “the Resident Evil guy,” and he’s got 3D on the brain. He told Famitsu, that famous Japanese video game magazine, that he wants to disband his current studio (Straight Story) and form a new one, one for creators, by creators (as opposed to one by run by know-nothing businessmen). This new studio, in a perfect world, would create a 3D horror game. → Read More
Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan) – The Darkside Chronicles is an on-rails shooter that comes out in Nippon for the Wii on January 14. Instead of torturing you with the crappy video I took at the Capcom booth at the Tokyo Game Show, I give you the official trailer the fine people over at the Famitsu secured. It contains cut scenes, gameplay sequences and a few spoilers – you’ve been warned. → Read More
So Capcom just revealed the box art for their upcoming Wii RE title, but there’s a mystery character in the shadows that won’t be revealed until the game comes out. Any guesses as to who it is? That’s Steve Burnside hanging tough in the back with the mystery guy and I hope you know who the two in the front are. → Read More

There was a bit of chatter going around yesterday that a fourth Resident Evil film was in the works. Well, it appears that it’s all true and that the fourth installment in the Resident Evil franchise will begin shooting by the end of the year with a scheduled September 17, 2010 release. → Read More
GameStop’s big Game Days sale just went live, and there’s a few deals worth pointing out; there’s plenty of Wii games on sale. (What’s Game Days? A chance to save up to 50 percent off the price of new video games, that’s what. It applies both online and in-store.) Why not pick up the camp House of the Dead 2 and 3 for $19.99? Or Tomb Raider Anniversary (for the Xbox 360) for $19.99? → Read More
After some mishaps thanks to UPS, I finally got my copy of Wildstorm’s Resident Evil #1. I’ll get right to it, kids. Kevin Sharpe’s artwork is vibrant and great to look at but it doesn’t seem to mesh well with Ricardo Sanchez’s rather quirky storyline that follows B.S.A.A. (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) agents Mina Gere and Holiday Sugarman in outer space. Spoooooky, right? → Read More
Wow. That’s pretty much the only word that can describe Tom Armitage’s “If Games Ran The World.” Its thesis is that, in the next few years, people who grew up playing video games will become world leaders. People who have played all the big games from every generation—Pac-Man, the first EA Sports games, Resident Evil, MMOs, fighting games, etc. Real gamers. Then point, then, is that this generation of leaders will have already tackled the types of problems that they’ll face once in power. Things like scarcity—you only have so many bullets and saves in Resident Evil 2, so how best to manage this?—resource allocation—looking for tanks and healers to join 25-man raid, already have DPS—and so on. The games these people have been playing their whole life have taught them skills that can be used in the “real world.” It’s a fun read. It’s not a short one, mind you, but it being your day of rest and all, and most of you being gamers in some capacity, you might well enjoy it. Me, I’ll be playing Super Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix on and off this afternoon. via Rock, Paper, Shotgun → Read More
This here is a limited edition Sega Dreamcast, one of them Resident Evil: Code Veronica editions. Supposedly only 1,800 of these were made, which seems reasonable: not even Wikipedia mentions its existence. If you’re willing to part with $800, it could well be yours. And if I even had an extra $800 handy, I would seriously consider it. Dreamcast was too beautiful for this world. via Gadget Review → Read More
