This latest Resident Evil 5 trailer looks pretty cool. The game play seems somewhat similiar to Resident Evil 4, but with a lot more enemies on screen at the same time. Are people infected with the same Plaga parasite like in Resident Evil 4, as well?
Just in case you’re into awesome and radical video game soundtracks, the Bionic Commando Rearmed Soundtrack is up for sale on iTunes. I like “Power Plant”, the song sounds a lot more fun then I imagine a power plant to be. This game is going to be fucking awesome.

Some players control the bugs and try to kill the people, other players shoot at the bugs. I, for one, am intrigued. Actually, could be a pretty cool game mode. I remember in one of the Unreal Tournaments they had a mode where players could all fight against progressively harder waves of computer controlled enemies. It was really fun and I wish more games had stuff like this (like Halo 3, for example). Akrid Hunt really isn’t anything like that at all, but it somewhat reminds me of it. A little.
I doubt it can be as radical as the old Street Fighter movie. I can’t think of who any of these people are, honestly, because I’m pretty bad with celebrities. What I do know, however, is that this movie has a 95% chance of not being awesome. Video game movies just never seem to work out (Resident Evil wasn’t that bad though).

I remember playing the 1942 arcade game when I was a kid, it was awesome. Now we’re getting a HD remake of the original. For years I thought this was exactly what the Pacific theater of war was really like.
So, I got this email from Capcom stating that the long-awaited Rocketmen: Axis of Evil will be released on XBLA and the PSN. 800 points on LIVE, $10 on PSN. But, I’ve never heard of this long awaited game… (more…)
A new trailer for Street Fighter IV has emerged from the AOU 2008 Amusement Expo in Japan. The trailer shows off moves from returning characters Chun-Li, Guile, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Zangief, and Blanka, as well as new characters Viper and Abel. Looks pretty interesting. Chun-Li has some giant thighs.
Just in case you have a PS3 and not a 360, or chose not to get it for the 360, now is your chance to get Lost Planet. I never played Lost Planet, but it seems radical enough. Shooting stuff and running around in snow and what not.

1up has some first details about the upcoming Street Fight IV. The article explains that, though the game engine uses 3D graphics, the game play will be 2D, which is good I think. I never really got into 3D fighters but I love games like Marvel vs. Capcom. The standard six-button control will remain and characters will have updated moves.
