When the original PlayStation came out, there was one game that made me really want to save up and buy the system: the original Resident Evil. I loved it. From the intense moments as you ran for your life from zombie dogs, to the terrible dialog. It was the right game at the right time, and I have been a fan ever since. I would even go so far as to say that Resident Evil 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, and with a few minor exceptions,… Read More

The word from an unnamed source at Capcom speaking to VentureBeat is that development on Resident Evil 6 is “well underway” and that the story will feature an adventure led by returning players Chris Redfield and Leon Kennedy. It seems that Ada Wong will also be returning, though how she fits into the game is unclear. Also note: the… Read More

Sure, there's no shortage of Nintendo 3DS gamers looking forward to Resident Evil: Revelations, but will it be worth the price? As revealed on GameStop, Capcom's next installment of the Resident Evil franchise will retail for $50, making its console-like experience cost just as much as the average console game. And according to the developer, the higher-than-usual price point for a handheld title is entirely justified by the content… Read More

Yesterday Capcom put on their announcing hat and got with the announcing. The developer/publisher officially handed out release dates for two of its biggest titles of 2012, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City and Asura’s Wrath.

In a question-and-answer post on the developer's website, Capcom indicated that Monster Hunter Tri-G will not feature online cooperative play, though it will feature support for local wireless play between multiple players. While this is similar to the cooperative-play options on the Playstation Portable version of the game,… Read More

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record may just be the best, and most complete DLC ever released for a console game. Unfortunately, it is not a DLC at all, but rather a $40 rehash of last year’s Dead Rising 2 that happens to have a new(ish) story and a different protagonist in series star Frank West. When I first began playing DR2: OTR, I began to wonder whether or not Capcom was trying to drive me mad, because I could swear that I played this exact game… Read More

Unlike the… Read More

After an solid showing at E3 this year (we were impressed enough to give it our Best Multiplayer of E3 award), the guns in Raccoon City have gone silent. At least for a brief while. The game was nowhere to be found at last week’s Tokyo Game Show, which raised more than a few eyebrows. In answer, Capcom spoke with Kotaku and explained that the game had been delayed, but that it was “definitely locked in for winter.” Technically the… Read More

Rebel with a demon-smashing cause The game retains the black humor that has been a staple of the third-person perspective action… Read More

Steel Battalion is a problematic series in the modern-day age of gaming. The tank simulator is perhaps most famous for its elaborate controller, an elaborate mechanism meant to mimic what one might see in an actual tank. The problem is, we're now living in a world where games development folk are doing their damnedest to minimize the number of devices cluttering our living rooms. Capcom announced the the series' next release, Steel… Read More
