It’s been over two and a half years since Capcom graced us with Resident Evil 5 (although some fans will disagree with it being a grace), and I believe it’s about time for some new information. Unfortunately, Capcom doesn’t exactly feel the same way, and all information regarding the sixth installment in the long running survival horror series has been shrouded in a heavy blanket of mystery. I’ve decided to go ahead and compile all (that I’m aware of) of the rumors, facts, and lies regarding the upcoming game in this one article. Hopefully, we will soon have more tangible facts instead of speculation. Read the full story

When Resident Evil first came out, it introduced millions of gamers to the survival horror genre it solidified and defined. It also helped make zombies the oversaturated theme it is today. Well over a decade later, the franchise is still going strong with dozens of games across multiple gaming platforms. Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X recently made its debut on PSN and XBLA, but it originated on the underappreciated SEGA Dreamcast as Resident Evil CODE: Veronica. Due to adding the “X” to the end when re-released on the PlayStation 2, it rose to new levels of success and fame before making its way to the Gamecube as a rare port, and a must-have for fans. So, now that it’s made its way to another console, how does it stack up to its predecessors? Read the full story

Marvel vs. Capcom is a game franchise so well known that all you have to do is merely mention its title and gamers around the globe will begin to tell stories of epic battles and who their favorite characters are. Of course, there are the never-ending discussions about which female character is the hottest (Morrigan FTW), or who is the best at the game, but none of that really matters. MvC 1 & 2 are iconic arcade games and, if you see the cabinets somewhere, you automatically gravitate towards them.

I’ve put many hours, and many quarters, into Marvel vs. Capcom 2. It is a game where I was instantly hooked, and I loved it so much that, when I was working at GameStop many years ago, I immediately grabbed a copy for the Dreamcast even though I didn’t own the console. I then went so far as to purchase the version that came out for Xbox because I was that big of a fan. Well, imagine how thrilled I was to hear that a third installment of the franchise would be coming in 2011.

It’s okay, go ahead, imagine me jumping for joy. I’m not going anywhere.

Actually, according to a rumor posted by Kotaku the Resident Evil series is about to be handed off to a western developer. It will also have an even bigger multiplayer component than Resident Evil 5. Yay… Read the full story

For the past week or so, I’ve been playing two games on and off: Grumps and Railroad Racer 3D. Both are Indie titles, but they couldn’t be more different even if they tried.

So we’ve recently seen a lot of other popular game series jumping on the bandwagon that God of War started. “Oh! Oh! I want to be all shiny and HD too! Put me in a collectible package that makes it easy for fans to get all of my games in one place!” So far we have Sly Cooper, Team Ico’s works of genius and pretty much every series Ubisoft has. Well, that’s not enough. Not for me. So I’m gonna give you the top ten franchises that deserve the PS3make treatment. Oh, and before you ask, yes, there is a good reason why there are no Xbox games here. Microsoft’s console so far hasn’t done anything like the God of War Collection. When they do, I’ll do one of these for that. But until then…Halo. Halo Halo Halo. Make a Halo Collection. There. Happy? Good. On with the list. Read the full story

I’ve never been a big fan of the Resident Evil series.  It’s never held even the slightest bit of appeal for me.  Lindsey, on the other hand, has for the most part been completely enamored with it, so perhaps she will be more excited by part of this news than I am.  Wesker (a Resident Evil character, I guess) is coming to Marvel vs. Capcom 3.  Oh, and Spider-Man.
