It was almost two months ago that Capcom announced exclusive Xbox 360 and PlayStaion 3 console bundles exclusive to Japan. It seems as though half that good news is coming to North America as Capcom and Microsoft are celebrating the much anticipated debut of the Resident Evil series on the Xbox 360 with the release of a red, limited edition bundle. As with the stand-alone game, the console bundle will arrive on store shelves on Friday, March 13. The pack will feature a copy of Resident Evil 5, red Xbox 360 Elite with 120 GB Hard Drive, matching limited edition red wireless controller, a black Xbox 360 headset, and exclusive premium Resident Evil 5 theme downloaded over Xbox Live.

Lost Planet 2 Announced Yes, in my opinion it was a sneak attack by Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi. Don't believe me, then check out the small blurb sent out from Capcom in their most recent press release about Street Fighter IV selling 2 million + copies.

In an industry-first, we've announced a new game through the Xbox LIVE service, complete with an introductory video from the producer and director. Read More...

Little else has been brought up about this title other than just the announcement and how excited American McGee is to be working on a follow up to the twisted view of Alice in Wonderland. Well outside of the announcement that it will be produced for PCs, PS3s, and XBoxes instead of just PCs like the first go around. Read More...

Resident Evil 5 Demo Premiers Exclusively on Xbox 360 Starting January 26 Who says that Capcom doesn't care about us Americans? They do. They just have a specific time frame for giving us slathering fans of Resident Evil what we want. This time in two stages. Granted anyone who has a web connection or knows how to download things outside of the US region have already had their hands on these, but you will be able to get them though XBox Live without having to work around language issues. On the 16th, that's in 2 days from now, Live users can download the game trailer shown at the Tokyo Game show last year, 2008. It has been around the net for a bit, but there is something about watching videos on a nice large TV over a little youtube window. Read More...

Resident Evil 5 Comparison So while at the Consumers Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada over the weekend, I actually got to play Resident Evil 5 at the Capcom party. I did not get a chance to play it while displayed on the side of the Planet Hollywood, which was awesome although cold, but I did get to play it where they had the two versions running side by side. Exact same monitors and connections. The only difference is the systems they were running on. Read More...

Bioshock can 'do a Star Wars', says 2K boss So one thing I hate to see in a franchise, be it a Movie, TV, or Video Game one, is when they make such a huge hit with the first one that they turn around and churn out loads of crap to try and make a quick buck while the franchise is still in the height of popularity. I won't disagree that it isn't a bad way to make money. People will shell out for a sequel thinking it will be as good as the first. Read More...
