The forty-forth round of Articles of Excellence has seen a return to the games with Gryzor winning it out with his review of Resident Evil 4. Scoring it a decent 3.6/5, he describes it as a title neither great nor terrible, but a a good game that has its moment while both making some headway in the series and forgetting some of the previous elements of the Resident Evil formula.
Ever since the early console games, bosses have been a staple of video gaming. However, there's always at least one that really makes you scratch your head and wonder what's wrong with the sucker.
Though the Gamecube was by no means Nintendo's most successful console, that didn't stop it from having some truly great games. Matt Beaudette of Gaming Irresponsibly runs down his ten favorite Nintendo Gamecube games.
"Sure, 2011 is in the rearview mirror, but that doesn’t mean we’re done looking back on the year. Sony recently its list of the year’s top-selling games and downloads on the PlayStation Network, and the titles on that list might surprise you — mainly because most of them weren’t released in 2011."
NPCs are a staple of almost every video game. They're the shopkeepers, the mayors, and the damsels in distress. They're also the creeps. This post is devoted to the NPCs that are more than slightly off their rocker, or just plain unsettling.
"After the incident at Raccoon City in Resident Evil 2, Leon is sent to rescue the president's daughter, Ashley Graham, from a cult in Spain. This cult is planning to infect some pretty big people with some sort of mind control virus that makes them like zombies, except they're still alive."
Survival Horror games have really taken a turn from where they started. Graphics and detail have improved dramatically, but they don't really give you a legitimate fright. I explore games that have done it well and others that have done it not so well. We can get better experiences, we just need to make sure the developers know what we want.
""This department cannot confirm or deny any threats involving zombies or the presence of [REDACTED], however, the likelihood that you, your family, and your pets will survive any emergency situation depends largely on planning done today. You are advised to not based your plans around the actions of fictional character Leon Kennedy from the recently-released Resident Evil 4 HD.""
Who doesn't like weird gaming peripherals? Here's the top 10 most awkardly-themed controllers ever. Please don't get offended if you're playing with one of them right now.
"So I have been looking forward to the HD remake, released as a downloadable game (DLC) on Xbox Live and PSN. It includes all the features of the past versions with spruced up polished graphics.
Except the pricing here in Australia means that Americans get it at 2/3 the price Aussies pay, or Aussies pay 50% more, which strikes me as odd for something that requires NO shipping, NO hard copy disc or packaging, and NO additional marketing.
On Xbox Live it costs $19.95 in the U.S. and $29.95 he..."
"The achievements for the HD remake of Resident Evil: Code Veronica X were released last Friday and the achievements for the HD remake of Resident Evil 4 have now been leaked online. The HD remake of the game will feature achievements that total 1000 gamer points, just like Code Veronica. Check out the achievements below."
Several new screenshots have been revealed for the upcoming Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 titles, Resident Evil 4 HD and Resident Evil: Code Veronica HD.
Capcom has revealed the Japanese box arts in addition to a handful of new screens for their upcoming Resident Evil: Revival Selection on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, which contains high-definition remakes of Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4.
Escort quests, something that has become insanely popular in games for the last two generations of consoles. Goozernation has put together a list of games with escort quests, include, ICO, Dead Rising, Resident Evil 4, and Enslaved, The problem here is there is no standard for games, most of the time the NPC is a useless burden and makes the game almost unplayable. Should developers due away with the escort missions? Should there be some sort of standard?
"“Where’s everybody going? Bingo?” Those four words started a revolution that changed the face of Resident Evil. Over a decade ago, the series surged in popularity when it stepped foot onto old cemetery grounds—that of the undead. Zombies."
A leaked video showing footage of what many are speculating to be an HD remake has hit the internet. No confirmation has been announced yet, but check out the video before it is taken down.
Capcom announced that they wil be releasing an HD compilation of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Code Veronica called Resident Evil: Revival Selection.
Resident Evil:Essentials is being ported to PS3 and 360 in HD. The essentials pack contained Code Veronica X, Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Outbreak. An interesting note is that Outbreak is not included in this new "Revival Pack" does this mean that the rumors of a new outbreak are true? Or does capcom simply hate us? Either way check the source for more info!
"Survival horror games are meant to scare us, make us feel nervous as we play them, and reward us with an experience that we won’t soon forget. Games like Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 2, and the horror/stealth hybrid Manhunt all provided some of the most chilling gameplay in the genre, and the horrific vibe that these titles exuded was further strengthened by their use of environment, sound, and visuals. Though there are a few exceptions, most “horror” games that come out these days hardly ind..."
Those looking forward to the latest Resident Evil film Afterlife this weekend will certainly flashback at some of the hottest characters in the Resident Evil universe. One that certainly stands tall next to Jill Valentine and the motion picture's Alice is Ada Wong, a character that everybody admired from Resident Evil 4. Here's a certain cosplayer that goes above and beyond nailing the look down.
"Now when most people think of sexually attractive characters in gaming, they usually assume it’s only female characters. Developers know that the men of gaming also have to “look good” too. That’s why we’ve sprinkled in a couple of the hottest men in video games as well."
"When it comes to gaming, one thing is for sure, we like our female leads to be tough. The ability to kick zombie butt is always a bonus too. That's why this week we've chosen a character who's both tough and considered to be quite attractive in addition to knowing exactly how to handle herself when dealing with a possible zombie apocolypse. Like Jill Valentine before her, we've picked a lead from the world of corporations named after wet weather gear and viruses named after letters. This week..."
"After watching this rather dismal E3, I’ve come to terms with something I’ve been denying for several years: survival horror—my favorite genre in all of gaming—is on its deathbed, and despite all of my false hope, I realize the time has come to write the eulogy.
It hit me when Sony showed the trailer to DEAD SPACE 2. Now, unlike most people, I wasn’t a huge fan of the original (I know, sue me) precisely because I didn’t find it scary. Creating a loud, bombastic soundtrack and covering the ..."

Ever since they became comrades, Barry had an eye for the young and beautiful Jill Valentine, while at the same time having family and children waiting at home. The call for support at the Arklay Mountains ties them and they share things all the way through the mission. While his attempts at flirting include "why don’t you, the master of unlocking, take this lock pick?” are very well received, he goes a bit too far when he suggests a "Jill-sandwich" in the ..."
"The Resident Evil series has swept the world up in its international tale of disease, infections, and unnecessary singing characters. The series has been called one of the most important in gaming history, and the name is still a major franchise for Capcom. So out of anticipation of RE5's DLC release next month, we present…5 Facts on Resident Evil."
"Choosing the best games of a decade is a tricky thing. It's tempting to simply pick your favorite games, but that's not considering the question deeply enough. The following titles were picked for the Top Ten Games of the Decade based on quality, innovation, and cultural influence. All ten of these games are titles that gamers will still be talking about in another ten years. With that, enjoy the list!"
"When Electronic Arts announced Dead Space Extraction for the Wii—a follow-up to the million-plus selling PS3, 360, and PC title Dead Space—the company explained that the game would be used as a test case to see whether or not it would develop more Mature-rated Wii games in the future. And according to NPD sales figures, Extraction failed: it sold just 9,200 copies in its first week. So what does this mean for the future of Mature Wii games?"
After compiling All Age Gaming's choices for the 10 best PS3 and Xbox 360 games, All Age Gaming's John Elliott delves into the library of games available for the Nintendo Wii and selects his Top 10 Wii games to date. Found out his choices after the jump.
Resident Evil is the series that coined the term "survival horror", but in recent years the games have moved towards more action-oriented gameplay and stories, leaving the 'survival' and 'horror' behind.
While the Resident Evil franchise still manages to pull in sales, many fans feel that it has lost much of what made it such a popular series in the first place.

"Remember the first time you played God of War (you did play it, right?) and, with the evil hydra finally at your mercy and an on-screen prompt, you pressed some buttons and totally kicked that sea creature's ass?
Yeah, it was pretty great when God of War did that and you hadn't played a Quick Time Event (QTE) since Shenmue. When David Jaffe's violent love-child re-popularized QTEs, at least the game did them right. See, a Quick Time Event's purpose is to allow for a moment of more cinemat..."

"Video games have evolved into a much greater power from their early days of 8-bit fetushood. They are inching one step closer to mimicking reality and that means they can do more than feed your need for harmless, consequence-free violence. Some can make your skin crawl, almost to the point that it can learn how to walk. Here are the level bosses that still haunt our left and right lobes."
"A couple times over the past few years, we've decided to sit down and take a good, cold, hard look at the PlayStation 2's library and select the best of the best to let you know what our favorites were (and are). Even though the system is fighting with every last breath to stay alive, it's still surprising to us that new games continue to creep into our list. So, because it's been a while, we figured it was time to look at our picks again and update our choices for the best 25 PlayStation 2 g..."
"Not only will the iPhone and iPod Touch release of Resident Evil 4 deliver some of the most advanced 3D graphics the system has yet witnessed in a complete conversion of the original GameCube game, but also Mercenaries Mode has been confirmed for inclusion. That’s a considerably sized package for the diminutive Touch Screen system."
"Like an abundance of women in the real world who rub us the wrong way (myself not included!), there are female characters who grind my gears excessively. Whether it’s because of their idiotic comments, abrasive personalities, or overall uselessness, I can’t stand these girls. Bear in mind you won’t see Princess Peach or Navi on this list — it’s a well-established fact that they’re some pretty obnoxious broads."
"Most games usually require a lot of touch-up work during their development before they're ready for release. Usually it's nothing major. A haircut for the main character here, the occasional unintentionally offensive Arabic song removed there. Some games, though, go through more than mere cosmetic changes. The following collection of titles all changed drastically during their development cycles. Sometimes for the better. Sometimes not."
Naturally, developers want their games to appeal to a wide audience. In some cases this means creating a game that incorperates elements from many different genres so that you end up with a product that will (in theory) attract the fans of each genre. But it doesn't always work that way and sometimes developers are left with a game that may bluir the genre lines, while not excelling in any.

A man dressed as Resident Evil's HUNK for the Crypticon Horror Convention's "zombie crawl" was recently taken into custody after bystanders mistook him for a masked gunman as he walked into the Metro Clothing store.

His costume consisted of a black Umbrella Corporation security outfit, knee pads, a knife, a grenade, a gas mask, a...
"Religion. In real life, it’s all kneeling, self-reflection and guilt. In games, it’s all alien conspiracies, demon worship and craftily put together cults designed to rob us of our readies. The following faiths might all be deceitful, money-grabbing or just downright homicidal, but at least they’re exciting. And hell, adopt a positive attitude, take everything they say at face value and follow their orders blindly, and we might even make it through one of their sermons with all our limbs. Hal..."
"After many years of "tank" controls, static camera angles and increasingly formulaic gameplay, Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami knew it was time to reboot his franchise, so he and his team built Resident Evil 4 from the ground-up. The studio axed the controls, camera angles, nonsensical puzzles and even the iconic zombies that had populated the franchise from the beginning, and fans welcomed the sweeping changes with praise.
So, what changes should be made and in what direction should C..."
""We'll definitely be looking at a lot of titles that have things like Street Fighter and Resident Evil in the title," Kramer said. "We're thinking about putting together a long list of the titles we're looking at, and then releasing it on Capcom Unity and having people vote on them. Ultimately we're looking at bringing between 20 and 40 titles to the PSN over the next several months.""
It's a topic that has come up on various gaming sites recently... Many so-called "survival-horror" titles of this generation (such as Dead Space and Resident Evil 5) are taking more action-oriented routes to attract a larger audience, thus losing the "survival" aspect that many older horror games were known for.
But is survival horror slowly disappearing? Or is it simply evolving and adaptaing to suit a more mainstream audience? And if that's the case, is this change for the better?
"It’s an accepted fact that video games aren’t real. Of course some people would like to tell you that you don’t know the difference between video games and reality (*cough* Jack Thompson of course *cough*). Well, sometimes the line is actually blurred.

So why not prepare ahead of time by taking a look at t..."
"“In late 1994, Capcom Entertainment in the US was starting to ramp up marketing plans for the game that would eventually become known as Resident Evil in the US. Capcom Japan had let us know that the name of the game was going to be ‘Biohazard’ in Japan, but I pointed out to the person who ran marketing at the time that it would be next to impossible for Capcom to register the name in the US.
“As an example, I pointed out that a crappy DOS-based game had just come out in the US called ‘Bio..."
Don't know about you guys, but this is the one I've been waiting for. This week, Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw takes a stab (get it?) at Resident Evil 5. In short, he feels this installment takes a lot of what made RE4 a good game and crapped on it.

If you find yourself trapped in a safehouse, eerie mansion or underground facility, chances are you are going to run into some locked doors. Fear not, for while there may be no keyholes and you possess no keys, that's probably just because a sinister corporation has devised an elaborate scheme to keep you from uncovering the truth.

"The gaming community has a morbid fascination with death, and something is always dying. Apparently E3 is dead, PC gaming is dead, and some say the survival horror genre is dying. Most gamers readily admit that Resident Evil 4 is a great game, but no one is trying to defend it as a survival horror title. Indeed, the Resident Evil franchise has changed over the years, and we're a long way from where Capcom started."
""Resident Evil"'s new movie, the CGI spin-off "Degeneration," is a true prequel to "Resident Evil 5." Set between the events of "Resident Evil 4" and "Resident Evil 5," this CGI film offers fans of the series just enough information to hold them over until the "RE5"'s March release. The movie even concludes with a cameo by Tricell, the already confirmed enemy corporation of "RE5." Gamers who are looking for back story on "RE5" can expect to see many features of "Degeneration" in the game."
Capcom's 'head of character contents business', Toshihiro Tokumaru, recently speaking for a piece to be featured in Capcom's Investor Relations communication, has revealed the company licensing the movie rights to Resident Evil as they did was "unfortunate".
He implies they made a poor decision in passing over all rights with the deal, thereby losing all ability to use 'any finished product'. As such, "in the future, we'd like to create films where we retain the rights".

"I have to admit that when I first heard that a feature-length CG film based on the Resident Evil video game series was being made, I was pretty skeptical. I mean, the last three live action Resident Evil movies by Paul W. S. Anderson weren't exactly spectacular (forgive me Milla). Plus, I couldn't help but remember what happened when they made the Final Fantasy video game franchise into that abhorrent CG movie that cost a bazillion dollars to make. I was wrong though.

James Walker of Binge Gamer is almost at the finish line for the Top Games Lists, now releasing the 2005 list. While the Xbox 360 did see a release during this year, it was at the end of the year and none of the first generation of titles were able to make their way on this list when compared to what the older systems were still pumping out. Including many franchises that we are still playing today.
"Being a big fan of zombie-cinema, I naturally tend to play almost everything related to the genre that I can get my hands on. So here it is, a top ten list comprised solely of games that depict the inevitable forthcoming zombie apocalypse.

Jim Sterling of destructoid.com types about how the evolution of survival horror games has run them into the ground. This isn't the only speculation of recent times about the genre, with What happened to survival horror? and Survival Horror - Does it even exist anymore?.

"There's nothing like a steamingly camp villain to really set off a game plot with a bang (and a mince and a girly titter).

He's threatening to destroy the world? Pah. He's threatening to destroy the world in lip liner!? Christ, he must be confident.

Many were hoping that Capcom's Resident Evil film would pump some life back into the series, and wipe the Milla Jovovich films from our minds, and what could possible go wrong when Sony Pictures were behind it?
Well, apparently everything, as Wired have given a film a mere 3/10.
...That's still better than the Jovovich films though :D
So, by now everyone should know that Silent Hill Homecoming is being refused a rating for Australia, as well as recieving a handful of negative reviews, disappointing a lot of fans. Blogger Ken La Kira has made an attempt at lightening the mood a little by typing up an article containing five other games from the same genre which they deem as better.
Ok, so perhaps that doesn't make you feel entirely better but at least you have alternatives. The list consists of:
Kotaku's Leigh Alexander goes in depth with the rise and fall of the survival horror genre. A look at how today's gamers are almost too impatiant to appreciate the ambiance and nuances of the genre and require constant stimulation - which is why they are drawn to games like Halo or Call of Duty.
Old favorites such as the Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Fatal Frame series are unfortunatly a dying breed - it is up to us dedicated fans (I'm looking at your GothicGirl) to keep the genre alive.

David Houghton over at GamesRader has composed a series of grievences directed at developers as to how they are destroying what used to be 'a proud warrior people' known as real gamers.
Various techniques and new features in gaming have made things almost 'too easy', and take away from the challenge of it.

CVG was able to get their grubby hands on the highly anticipated title Resident Evil 5 and have kindly typed us up a preview.

Everyone (Sony fans, and Final Fantasy fans) seem to be clamoring about FFXIII not being PS3 exclusive. This isn't the first time this has happened ladies and gentlemen. Lest you forget that VII (arguably one of the best in the series) was originally intended for the N64?
GamesRadar goes through a list of 10 more titles that brought out a similar reaction with fans.
If you've been keeping tabs on the latest Resident Evil 5 trailers you would have noticed something rather ... odd. The majority of character and enemy animations are identical to Resident Evil 4. Opening doors, reloading guns, enemy deaths, jumping from ledges, etc are all the same.
Fair enough if Capcom don't want to fix what isn't broken, but there should be at least some improvement in a next-gen game. It's just lazy, otherwise.
Earlier today at the Comic Con that was hosted in San Diego, fans of the Resident Evil series got to see the first trailer of the Resident Evil: Degeneration movie!

In a recent Gamegrep article, Next-Gen previewed Fatal Frame IV detailing most of what we know about the game so far. But a small tidbit of new information regarding the gameplay is what stood out for fans of the series.

When we play a Survival Horror game we want to feel scared. Not only for ourselves, but for the character we are playing as.
But what actually makes us scared for Survival Horror characters? Why do we want them to live through the horrors that they are faced with? And what happens if we aren't scared for them?
Chris, from Chris's Survival Horror Quest, takes a look at why gamers feel genuinely scared for their survival horror protagonists.

Capcom's very own Resident Evil 4 is currently under rumour for the production of a Classic Edition release set for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
This rumour has serviced around because of "The Horror is Alive" on the Resident Evil forum presented a video that shows Resident Evil 4 Classic Edition being played on a Xbox 360.
Though since the release of the video Capcom have shot down any claims made that they was in the process of creating Resident Evil 4 Classic Edition.

"Resident Evil 4 is originally a classic GameCube title, and the GameCube was not exactly well known for its aesthetic performance muscle. With the game appearing on the Wii, gamers have been hoping for some graphical embellishments to complement the new Wii Remote gameplay enhancements.
