"The fifth Resident Evil takes place in an as-yet unnamed African nation, with hordes of undead beating you up under a constant sheen of burning sunlight, giving the game an eerie, washed-out feel. Throughout RE5's dark tale you'll find the origins of the viruses that have plagued Redfield and the rest of the S.T.A.R.S. team for ten years. While this isn't the last Resident Evil game, the return of a big name lead and the promise of some answers to old questions certainly suggests that this co..."

"Over the years, gamers have seen dozens of high-profile titles make their world debut by being featured on the cover of Game Informer. In fact, if you’re a regular shopper at GameStop, you’re probably one of the magazine’s more than two million readers.

But does a game getting on Game Informer’s cover signal it’s going to be great?

Can you be confident that these debuts will, one or two years later, become games you want to buy and play? Perhaps the magazine has a “Madden” curse (though..."

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.

"Today at the San Diego Comic Con, fans were treated to the first footage from the Capcom / Sony Pictures Entertainment collaboration, Resident Evil: Degeneration. Making its theatrical debut this fall in Japan and coming to DVD and Blu-ray in North America later in 2008, this spectacular, all-CGI animated feature takes the zombie action to a whole new level with its ground-breaking visual effects and thrilling new storyline"

"Zero on Wii handles in much the same way as Resident Evil 4, using the Nunchuk to move and the Remote to direct the camera, giving an over-the-shoulder perspective. You’re no Leon Kennedy, however, and as in previous Zero games your only form of defense against ghosts is to snap a picture of them, so sealing their soul into the celluloid."

"The average age of a video game customer now hovers around the late twenties to early thirties. The variation on either side of that average reveals a fascinating picture, too. Many of the first generation of child gamers now approaching their forties have children of their own. Whole families now gather around a game console, just as in previous generations the family gathered to watch a video or Morecambe & Wise on TV or to play Monopoly together.

If you don't play videogames, you may co..."

"Even two console generations ago we stopped batting our eyelids if games contained other, smaller games within them. It didn’t even seem odd if whole games were made up of dozens of little ones. Nowadays we use minigame mechanisms to open doors, enact fancy stealth kills, slaughter bosses or open chests. Minigames are everywhere, be it shoving boulders in Conan, coercing peasants in Oblivion or doing anything at all in Thrillville or Jackass.

Five years from now, we’d not be surprised to s..."

"Three sisters and a camera on a haunted island? Sounds about right.

Plot: The game is set in the mysterious Rougetsu Island, where five young girls of the Minazuki family were kidnapped in the past. Two of the girls later died, while the remaining three - Ruka, Misaki, and Madoka - have decided to visit the island in an attempt to remember what happened during that incident. The magazine reveals that players will take on the role of Ruka and venture around the mansion in the island, which..."

"Let's not jump to any conclusions.

Much like the series' signature antagonists, its another instalment of the latest Resident Evil rumour that just won't stay dead. True to its sordid word earlier in the week, RE fansite, The Horror is Alive has presented video 'proof' as to the existence of a so-called upcoming 'Resident Evil 4: Classic Edition' for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The video, uploaded to YouTube, bares all the irrefutable and unmistakable evidence of the claims the fansite..."

"Project Berkley. At first glance, these two words would almost undoubtedly render the average gaming punter to multiple bouts of head-scratching uncertainty. For loyal followers of the legendary AM2 developer Yu Suzuki (Sega’s answer to Shigeru Miyamoto) however, it should register instantaneously as the precursor to one of Suzuki’s most ambitious works to date, for it is none other than the working title for what would later become known as Shenmue."

"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. Alas, it would appear that Capcom and Nintendo haven’t taken that into consideration when engineering the Wii version."

Unfortunately this isn't up on youtube at the moment so I can't link directly, but here's the advert for the japanese version of Resident evil 4 on the Wii.

"While cute isn't a word we'd normally associate with Resident Evil, it's probably the best way we can describe the Resi 4 Wii Edition trailer that publisher/developer Capcom has just released. Point your eyes here to see exactly what we mean...

The picture perfect rent-a-bodies and their clinical show home apartment are unarguably easy on the eye, but we were mostly interested in checking out the snippets of game and, yes, it definitely is Resi 4, but with an unmistakably shaky Wii crossha..."
