Resident Evil Zerois one of the few non-Outbreakgames in the series I haven’t gotten around to playing. I imagine there are many of you in a similar position, so listen up. While you could get a used copy of the Gamecube version for cheaper, or evenResident Evil Archives: Resident Evil Zero(aka the Wii port) for $29.99, you could be a man and buy the game for $39.99 at Capcom and receive an Umbrella Corporation-branded umbrellafor your efforts....

Dale North had told me whilepreviewingSonic Colorsthat he felt the game was better thanSonic the Hedgehog 4. I was hesitant to believe him, especially given Sonic’s rather miserable history on the Wii. I’m not prepared to agree with Dale yet, but my experience withColorswas pretty positive. To complement our full preview, here are some quick Jimpressions for you. So,Sonic Colorsis like Sega tookSonic Unleashed, extracted the good bits and then threw 90% of the liquidy bullsh*t in the trashcan....

Next May, Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow will star inIron Man, a film based off of the popular Marvel comic book superhero.

Hit the jump for my full impressions of the short demo that was cut even shorter when the unit it was being played on locked up....

Here, have another trailer forSonic Generations! Strangely enough, this is the first time I’ve found modern Sonic’s segment to be more appealing than old-school Sonic’s jam. That said, the little skateboard the latter rides on is beyond adorable. As an added bonus, there are a few screenshots from the 3DS version ofSonic Generationsincluded below. It’s exactly what you’d expect.

In an interview with theFinancial Times, Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello says that the film industry is “worried” by the high-profile videogame industry. Specifically, Riccitiello cites the release ofGrand Theft Auto IVon certain summer box office blockbusters. “[Hollywood] is worried about whetherIron Manthe movie is going to get killed byGrand Theft Autothe game,” he tells the paper. I’m already planning to hit the sticky floors of my local cinema to see the live-actionIron Manfilm, but for many, the movie-going experience has been killed by obnoxious crowds, and the high price of snacks and admission....

During my entire time spent playingEternal Sonataon the Xbox 360, all I wanted to do was play as Prince Crescendo, not least because he’s voiced by Cam Clarke who I kind of love. It makes me bubble with envy then, that the upcoming PlayStation 3 port will indeed feature a playable Prince of Baroque, something that was never bestowed upon me last time. NeoGAFhas the pictorial stash, which we’re sharing with you here....

By now, most of you have probably seen or at least heard ofWeapon of Choice. It was easily one of the highest quality Xbox LIVE Community Games available when it launched, and continues to remain so even today. WhenBrad interviewedthe game’s developer, Nathan Fouts, he hinted about his next project, saying it would offer a “new, fun blend of gameplay.” Having thoroughly looked over his new gameGrapple Buggy, which was revealed earlier today, I think Fouts was exactly right....
