Here’s our first look at the newResident Evilmovie and … oh wow. This … this actually looks good, you guys. Maybe it’s theResident Evilfanboy in me speaking here, but this looks a lot better than expected. Along with the T-Virus infection,Afterlifewill be dabbling with the Las Plagas as seen inResident Evil 5. We don’t get to see Chris just yet, but Wesker is shown off, red eyes and all. Milla Jovovich, Allie Larter and Paul Anderson were in San Francisco on Friday where they premiered the trailer to WonderCon attendees....

Every week, sort of, Destructoid Features Editor Anthony Burch monologues about games in his “Rev Rant” series. This week’s rant is about failure, and how curious it is that we’ve accepted the act of stopping the player’s momentum and forcing them to replay up to ten minutes worth of stuff they’ve done before as a punishment for failure. I also realize how odd that may sound coming from someone who regularly sings the praises of bothThe VoidandFar Cry 2permadeath runs....

TheWii Series(Wii Sports,Wii Fit,Wii Music, and so on) often gets a lot of flak from the gaming community at large because of the games’ accessibility. Now the newest entry of the series is flying off the shelves, and those who have not yet made the purchase may be wondering to themselves whether or not the game really warrants the huge sales numbers. I will admit; when I bought my Wii, I gaveWii Sportsa few playthroughs before never doing so again....

It’s hard to argue thatRock Bandisn’t a really, really big success. Just recently it was revealed that the latest edition of the game,Beatles: Rock Band, soldpretty darn well in its first month. One would then assume that some of the money that Viacom fills their swimming pool with constantly is made up of the mad profits from the series. It seems, however, that at the momentRock Bandis more of a leak in that pool than a hose adding more to it....

You see that image above? Want to know what it has to do with videogames? NOTHING! Well, just barely nothing. The image along with two other equally wtf inducing style wallpapers are over on Rcokstar’sdownload sectionfor whatever reason. Rockstar has a bunch of awesome wallpapers up for grabs, but the three Battle Series images easily are the best. Makes me really wish there was a gamejust like thisnow. Just look at them!...

There have been rumors swirling around the existence of aNamco vs. Capcomgame for a while now. Now they are bolstered by a recent appearance by Katsuhiro Harada from Namco Bandai and Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono at the Evo fighting game tournament a couple weeks ago. In what would be a highly interesting twist, Game Informer has sources which tell them that the rumored fighter will be not one but two distinct titles....

Gameloft’s latest “inspired” game,Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Aydenis hitting iTunes this Thursday. You can check out the launch trailer above, and I’ll let you decide how much likeZeldait’s trying to be. Shameless though it may be, I’m eager to see how well Gameloft’s pulled it off. The team is rarely bad at bringing console experiences to the mobile platform, and I could do with a nice action-adventure, especially since I’ve been waiting ten billion years forSkyward Sword....

One runs at a lower resolution, looks worse, and only has access to one analog stick on the PSP. The otherlooks pretty and shinyon the Vita, and adds touchscreen control as well as a second analog stock. But both are the same price? Lord of Apocalypse, the sequel toLord of Arcana, will hit the market with two separate versions, but they’re priced the same for Japan.Siliconerasays that the retail of 5,980 yen ($77) is for either a UMD disc or PlayStation Vita card....

In a move that will surprise nobody, Australia’s Classification Board has ruled to banMortal Kombat, judging that its Fatality moves are too gruesome to quality for the country’s highest age rating, MA 15+. “We are extremely disappointed thatMortal Kombat, one of the world’s oldest and most successful video games franchises, will not be available to mature Australian gamers,” said Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “WBIE would not market mature content where it is not appropriate for the audience....

The rule is that if you must do the “backwards letter” thing with your fonts, you can only have one letter. This new trailer forSingularitygoes overboard with the mirrored text shenanigans, and I have decided to judge the entire game based solely on this one insignificant detail. Thats the way we gamers roll! In truth, this shooter is looking like it might be decent. The Gravity Gun chicanery seems competently lifted fromHalf-Life 2and I like the bit in this video where the guy’s skin all comes right off of him....

If there’s one game that’s forever been on my “download the full version” list of XBLA games, it’sAssault Heroes. I don’t bemoan the occasional arcade shooter, andAssault Heroeshad giant robotic bugs, so there was very little to dislike. Sadly, however, time has crept up on me, and I don’t have much of it beforeAssault Heroes 2causes the former to become obsolete. Coming to the Arcade in spring,Assault Heroes 2takes the player into space and will grant you the abilities to hijack enemy vehicles this time around....

Yet again, Sony has boasted about the sales success of PlayStation Move while refusing to give out any appreciable sales figures. Reacting to the latest NPD figures, which detailed a 5% increase in PS3 sales and a 112% month-over-month boost, corporate communications chief Patrick Seybold is gloating, yet still remaining coy. The early blockbuster success of PlayStation Move has undoubtedly helped to pave the way for us as we head into 2011....

The PlayStation Networksecurity breach scandalcontinues, with Sony now providing more answers for some of users’ oft-asked questions over on the PlayStation Blog. According to the company, “The entire credit card table was encrypted and we have no evidence that credit card data was taken.” On the other hand, “The personal data table, which is a separate data set, was not encrypted, but was, of course, behind a very sophisticated security system that was breached in a malicious attack....
