I don’t know what it is with theResident Evilseries in particular, but the games always seem to have crazy (and neat) swag associated with them. Continuing this trend of rad merchandise, GameCrazy is offering a freakin’ Raccoon City Police Departmentmoney clipfor those who pre-orderThe Darkside Chronicles. It’s a tough call, really. GameStop is giving out those wicked zombietransformation shirtsalongside reservations. I think it really comes down to whether or not the shirts come in a size that will fit you, although, you won’t be wearing these things like you would a normal t-shirt....

Speed. It’s what has separated 2D fighting games from their 3D counterparts for so many years. That’s not to imply that 3D fighting games aren’t fast per se, they’ve just never really been at the same level… until now. SoulCalibur Vis fast. Not crazyMarvel vs. Capcom 3fast, but it’s definitely a Usain Bolt-sprint faster than the competition. It’s the kind of improvement that might go unnoticed at first glance, but when paired with the game’s other new mechanics, helps define the experience as something completely fresh to franchise fanatics....

Whoa. Late yesterday afternoon Atari released three trailers for their upcoming Wii titleReady 2 Rumble Revolution. Each one features two boxers engaged in the art of punching each other with gloved-fists.My father — I promise this will swing back around — told me once, “only a retard hits another retard for money.” I’m not sure if he was even talking about boxing, but the quote sticks out for an obvious reason — it makes sense....

Meaty maestro Reggie Fils-Aime has been doing what he does best — using faux humility to secretly boast about Nintendo’s success and remind us that he makes mad bank. By claiming it will be difficult to match last year’s Wii performance, Fils-Aime basically tells us how brilliantly the system has sold. He looks humble, but he’s just shown off. He’s a ninja of arrogance! “The third year in a generation is typically the strongest and Nintendo is in its fourth with Wii,” claims the minestrone flavored Nintendo boss....

After failing to materialize at Tokyo Game Show, some folks have been wondering what the score is withResident Evil: Raccoon City, currently planned for a Winter release. Kotaku reached out to Capcom, hearing back from the publisher that the game is still on track for its release window in the fourth quarter, Which encompasses the last two months of 2011 and the first two months of 2012. We’ve barely seen anything of this game up to this point, only viewing a single multiplayer map and nothing of the campaign and that doesn’t sit right with me....

These videos have convinced me to buy the Japanese version ofMinna mo Rhythm Tengoku, known in the West asRhythm Heaven Wii. I know the game is coming to the United States soon enough, but I’m sure that some of the Japanese vocals and lyrics will be changed for the game’s release outside of Japan. I can’t take a chance on missing out on “OH. KAY. DON’T. MIND “ Warning — these videos could be constituted as spoilers, if you consider a non-story based, rhythm action game such as this as being capable of spoilers....

Riven: The Sequel to Mystlaunched for iDevices yesterday, and while that’s interesting enough on its own (for those who like that sort of thing), the thing really worth nothing is just how big the bloody thing is.Rivenhas become the first game launched for iOS that goes over a Gig. You don’t want to download this direct to your iPhone, according to developer Cyan Worlds, who says such a download is “theoretically possible via a wireless connection, but… uh… well… you really don’t want to....

Harmonix and MTV Games are making it up to Creedence Clearwater Revival fans who weren’t too keep on the “Fortunate Son” cover that made its way to the game back in 2007 when Rock Band was first release.

DRM has been a continuing subject of controversy for the past year, with many publishers persisting with the use of anti-piracy measures despite their ineffectiveness and tendency to piss off the legitimate consumers. If the words of an Ubisoft community rep are correct, however, then it would seem that Ubi is taking the plunge and releasingPrince of Persiawithout DRM for PC. The subject came up onthe Ubisoft forums, where a number of gamers asked after the anti-piracy measures thatPrince of Persiawould be using....

The PlayStation 3 version ofSacred 2is still on its way. To remind us, CDV released a few screenshots featuring undead creatures, spell casting and a goth chick with a Mohawk. The PC version ofSacred 2has been out for quite awhile. Our reviewpointed outthat it’s a greatDiablo 2clone, but technical issues keep it from being a remarkable game.
