Aliens-Colonial-MarinesCheck out the latest trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines by Gearbox and Sega. It's only CG, no gameplay footage yet, but it looks bad ass.

If it contains even half the atmosphere and feeling of dread that were staple ingredients of the old Aliens Vs Predator PC games then we'll be in for an acid spitting treat.

Out this Autumn, Gearbox please don't fuck it up like the awful recent Aliens Vs Predator game, nah nothing could be that bad surely?

Resident Evil 6 Trailer

Resident_Evil_6_Official_Trailer_US_1156So what does everyone think of the new trailer for Resident Evil 6? Looks very action packed again if you ask me, normally that would be a very good thing, but this is Resident Evil, and the action packed travesty that was Resident Evil 5 still stings for many fans.

Capcom blurb: "It has been ten years since the Raccoon City incident and the President of the United States has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place in the belief that it will curb the current resurgence in bioterrorist activity.

Due to be by the President's side is his personal friend and Raccoon City survivor, Leon S. Kennedy, but when the venue suffers a bioterrorist attack, Leon is forced to face a President transformed beyond recognition and make his hardest ever decision.

At the same time, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance member Chris Redfield arrives in China, itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack. With no country safe from these attacks and the ensuing outbreaks, the entire world's population is united by a common fear that there is no hope left."

Chris Redfield and Leon S Kennedy will be the starring characters and of course new characters will be introduced "each with their own unique perspective and involvement".

Capcom have created yet another sub-genre and are labelling this title as 'dramatic horror', whatever the hell that means. And we won't be finding out anytime soon either as the game has been given a release date of November.

Showing a Resident Evil fan a huge trailer like this ten months before they can get their hands on it is nothing short of cruel, it's gonna be a long wait.

res_evil_rev_coverTime to dust off your 3DS, as in the Nintendo eStore from today you can download a free playable demo of the next proper Resident Evil game 'Revelations'.

I say proper because this is back to the old school style Resident Evil with you having to conserve ammo and just waiting for something to jump out at you from somewhere along that dark corridor...

The game stars series favourites Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine and is available in the UK January 27th while our American cousins have to wait a little longer until 7th February.
