News Microsoft's Making You Wait for These Resident Evil 6 Modes
Bah humbug
Timed exclusivity is silly. We understand why it’s necessary in an age where legitimate third-party exclusives are heading the way of the dodo – but it’s infuriating when content is taken away from your platform of choice just because another company paid for it. Take Resident Evil 6 – the game’s getting three extra modes on...

Gore blimey
Over the course of the last few years, the Resident Evil series has been content to rest on its laurels, with some suggesting that it would only take one truly exciting survival horror title to come along and cast the once groundbreaking series into the annals of history.

Capcom confirms reports
Recently we brought you the news that retailers had released Resident Evil 6 early in Poland.

News There's Some Killer Synth Bass in This E.X. Troopers Trailer
Syncopated sounds
Lost Planet 3 looks alright – but Japanese-only spin-off E.X. Troopers looks better. And as this brand new trailer proves, it sounds better too. The fresh footage shows off the anime adventure’s rich anime art style, and sets it to a chunky synth bassline packed with offbeat octaves and slides. Sadly, there’s still no word of...
News DONTNOD Details Sony's History with Remember Me
Drifting away
French upstart DONTNOD Entertainment and Capcom have only recently joined forces on Remember Me. The two met up last year following a fall out with Sony.

News First EX Troopers Trailer Looks... Awesome
Seriously
You could be forgiven for reading yesterday’s EX Troopers announcement with a cynical mindset.
