Two Resident Evil 6 bundles have been outed by online retailer Amazon–one for the PS3 and another for the Xbox 360–that include a variety of Resident Evil related bonuses for those who look at Resident Evil 6 and scoff at its utter lack of content. The first is the Resident Evil Anthology for the PS3, which brings with it Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil Director’s Cut, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil 4 HD and the Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition. The second is the Resident Evil Archives for the Xbox 360 and it will include Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil 4 HD, Code Veronica HD, Resident Evil 5′s Gold Edition and the CGI film Resident Evil: Degeneration. Looks like Xbox 360 owners got the short end of that severed limb, but both are still fantastic deals for their $89.99 asking price. Anyone interested in either of these delicious bundles?

E3 2012: Feast Your Eyes On Some Footage From Each Of The Three ‘Resident Evil 6′ Campaigns

Not quite sure what you’re going to get with Resident Evil 6? That’s understandable, seeing as it’s been fairly nonsensical so far. For the unaware, there are three campaigns starring Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, Jake Muller, and their respective partners. They’re separate, but at the same time they’re woven together, so at certain points the main characters will meet each other and say hi, maybe go out for a coffee, then return to kicking mountains of ass. Each story plays wildly different from the next and will be roughly the length of the campaign in Resident Evil 5 (that took roughly 4-5 hours assuming you spent a lot of time marveling at the scenery). Check out some gameplay footage from each of the three stories after the jump.

Remedy Creative Director Tweets A Link To A Blog That Could Be Related To ‘Alan Wake 2′

For a year the possibility of a true sequel to Alan Wake has been hanging over us like a cloud–a cloud you want to jump up and grab so you can drag it back down to earth and rub your face all over it, maybe see if it’s up for some naked spooning, you tell it you don’t even mind if it’s the big spoon, because you love it that much. A few days ago Remedy creative director Sam Lake tweeted a link to a blog by a writer named Samantha. Seemed innocent enough at the time, that is, until Samantha’s writings started coming off a little cray cray. It sounds like she bought Alan’s lake house and upon finding some of his writings started having nightmares. Her most recent post from earlier today took the creep factor to a whole new level, saying Called 911. Men outside shadows darkcominghelpmoreligh. Men in the shadows? Dark coming? More light? Anyone else getting strong Alan Wake vibes from this? I’m predicting an Alan Wake 2 reveal coming soon. Come on Remedy, give it to me, I’m ready for it.

If you’ve been following Book of Memories you’re undoubtedly fully aware of its fickle relationship with release dates, so I suggest taking this bit of news with a grain of salt lest you get your heart broken as you’re again forced to watch as Pyramid Head slowly walks off out of view, leaving you with thoughts of what could have been. If you’ve been anxiously waiting for some steamy handheld Silent Hill co-op action, you’ll get all you can handle this October when Silent Hill: Book of Memories releases for the PS Vita. It features four player co-op, a more action oriented approach to the survival horror series, and it almost definitely won’t be awful. Check out the trailer after the break.

E3 2012: Watch Vampire Kids Get Beat Down With A Golf Club In This ‘South Park: The Stick Of Truth’ Trailer

South Park hasn’t had much success in the video games department, with the recent Tenorman’s Revenge and Let’s Go Tower Defense Play getting less than lukewarm reviews. If any game is going to remedy that it’s going to be South Park: The Stick of Truth. With South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone writing the script and lending their voices, and Fallout: New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment handling development, think of this as the first legitimate game based on the series. The Stick of Truth is an action RPG starring you, so if mowing down crab people, vampire kids, underpants gnomes, and hippies sounds like your type of thing, I suggest checking out the game’s action-packed new trailer after the break.

E3 2012: This ‘ZombiU’ Debut Trailer Asks How Long Will You Survive?

The Wii U is getting an exclusive survival horror game called ZombieU, and it actually looks pretty damn excellent. The game will utilize the screen on the Wii U’s Gamepad controller for various tasks such as sniping, busting down doors, breaking free of zombies, and even as an Aliens style radar that will should almost certainly add to the game’s creep factor. It will also bring with it a competitive two-player multiplayer mode where one player will take on the rols of the “Zombie Master,” spawning and controlling zombies from a top-down view while the other player fights to survive in a first person view. ZombieU has substantially increased my excitement for the Wii U–check out the debut trailer after the jump so it can do the same for you.

E3 2012: This Jaw-Dropping ‘Watch Dogs’ Trailer Will Hack Your Mind And Make It Explode

This game came out of nowhere, but it’s already one of the most interesting announcements to come out of E3 so far. In a sea of sequels, Watch Dogs is a brand new IP that takes a fanciful look at the blackout of 2003. According to this game, the cause of the blackout was one man, who you will control, and who has a vast network of computers with which he can use to hack pretty much any and every electronic device around him, from cars and cell phones to bridges and traffic lights. Oh, and did I mention this game is gorgeous? It’ll give The Last of Us a run for its money. Head past the break for some gameplay, just make sure you have some drop cloth on the floor around you for when your mind explodes.

E3 2012: There Sure Is A Lot Going On In This ‘Resident Evil 6′ Trailer

Games
Posted by Adam Dodd on June 05, 2012 @ 1:21am
Category: Games / Trailers

With each new trailer I see for Resident Evil 6 I find it just a little more difficult to maintain my already very loose grasp on the game’s plot. I suppose it’s par for the course when you have three separate campaigns with their own characters and stories that are woven together, crossing over and under one another in a delicate balance of characters, plots, stories and backstories. There’s also the newly dubbed Neo-Umbrella, which could be the name of the terrorist organization that’s causing such a ruckus, but seriously–less quick cuts and maybe could you also slow things down for those of us who are currently eating your dust as you speed away on your fancy, rooftop-jumping motorcycle, Capcom? I’m not asking much, just a 20 to 30 minute video describing in detail, and preferably very slowly, just what the fuck is going on. Resident Evil 6 is a busy game, but if busy makes your joystick happy you should check it out after the break.

I’ve said it again and I’ll say it until DmC comes out and proves me wrong: this game looks incredible. Dante is looking spicier than ever, the world is absolutely gorgeous, and the combat still looks like it will make me look like a complete badass, even when I don’t have a fucking clue what I’m doing. If you’ve been aching for another dose of Dante the demon slayer, I highly suggest checking out the brand new trailer after the break. There’s some dancing, a little bit of music, and a giant demon butterfly that sits in the corner and has its eyes on you.

The makers of the fantastic cinematic thriller Heavy Rain have been hard at work on a secret game that was unveiled at E3 earlier today. It’s called Beyond: Two Souls, and don’t let its awful title fool you–this game looks incredible. It’s a psychological action thriller starring a young woman who has rather remarkable powers given to her by an invisible entity. You can see the trailer, filled with lots of gorgeous gameplay, after the break. Oh, and before you ask, yes, this time it is Ellen Page.

E3 2012: This New ‘Lost Planet 3′ Trailer Has It All (Except Co-op)

Games

Category: Games / Trailers

Looks like Dead Space 3 might be given a run for its money as Lost Planet 3 is treading dangerously close to the snowy planet infested with angry bug aliens who very much want to tear you limb from limb territory. Of course, this is territory Capcom claimed back in 2006 with the first Lost Planet, but I do love the series’ new and decidedly more mature take on humans and mechs vs bug and bigger bugs vs whiteout blizzard conditions. My only concern is the lack of co-op that’s been glaringly omitted from everything Capcom’s shown of the game so far. Kicking slimy alien hiney with some friends was really the only reason I played the previous game, so either they’ll need to bring it back in this game or give us a worthy replacement. Head past the jump for the game’s chilly new E3 trailer.

The long awaited Dead Space 3 trailer is finally here and my oh my is it tasty. I’m sure there are plenty fans who will see this brighter and more co-op focused Dead Space as a sign that the series is beginning to follow Resident Evil in favoring action over horror, but before your eyes turn red and steam starts pouring out of your ears Elmer Fudd style, remember: that’s what a lot of us thought with Dead Space 2. The fact that the co-op is optional–meaning you can go it alone with the cumbersome AI companion–only makes this game even more exciting. Head past the break for our the debut trailer and a little co-op gameplay from what will definitely be one of next year’s most anticipated games.
