“Resident Evil 6” Officially Announced, Outbreaking in November
Capcom took time to announce one of the worst kept secrets in gaming: Resident Evil 6.
Even though everybody knew of its existence, I’m not sure anybody could’ve expected an entry that looks so action-packed, appearing to feature multiple protagonists, including fan favorites Leon S. Kennedy and Chris Redfield. The new game seems to also contain new gameplay elements such as strafing and a cover-based system. Capcom decided to let loose some details on the new story as well:
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.
The two last, and most important pieces of info to pass along is that the game is being produced by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, producer of Resident Evil 4, and gamers don’t have to wait long for its release. Resident Evil 6 will be out on November 20, 2012, for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

I really and truly hope not. IGN has posted an interesting article looking at developers and how they feel towards game critics like myself. I know it’s not the deepest article but it’s at least addressing that there’s an inherent problem between the developer and those who have to give a subjective score based on their work. And the biggest problem of all: Metacritic.
This enemy in FFXIII looks like the designers were digging for nose gold, found a nugget of inspiration, threw on a helmet and called it a day.
Since I’m trying to finish FFXIII before XIII-2 comes out (for a little back story on the game I’ll be playing in three weeks), I’ve learned the battle system can be a gigantic grind to get through. There’s just not enough to do in a single battle. Pressing A can only be fun for so long. Hopefully I get out of the linear section soon…
“The Hall of Games” is a brand new segment that will look at games that have made a significant impact on video game development and changed the way people have come to think of our interactive medium. From “Super Mario” to “Grand Theft Auto” to “Doom”, expect to get a crash course education about the industry’s evolution bit-by-bit, from its pixelated infancy to the beautiful, dominant force it is today.
While most people are busy looking out for the biggest and newest game titles, a lot can be learned about gaming by looking back at the past. Over time, many games become forgotten or overlooked. There were two big 25th anniversaries this year for Nintendo but only Link saw his birthday remembered. It’s only fitting then that we dedicate a little bit of time to discussing this forgotten classic of the NES era: Metroid.

If I had another couple of spots, I’d throw Batman: Arkham City and Saints Row 3 on there as well but still a pretty decent year.
The number of spinoff games from our favorite Italian plumber are numerous. We have: Paper Mario, Mario Paint, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Dr. Mario, Mario and Sonic at the Olympics… the list is gigantic.
Then, of course, there’s the most famous of them all: Mario Kart. The series has been an enormous system-seller since it started on the SNES. But the only question remaining is how it measures up in comparison to the rest of the series’ high pedigree of games.
