Nov 21, 2007 Theres no doubt in our minds that at some point in the recent past, Umbrella Chronicles was a very different game from the one that has finally emerged. Far from being some elaborate mystery for us to unravel, the evidence has been there from the start - early interviews with Capcoms team suggested Chronicles would be a game more like Resident Evil 4, while later interviews hinted at a change of tune. RE 4 is a tough act to follow, and its a shame we never saw Umbrella Chronicles ...

Zombie passengers and dull as ditchwater?

Sept 24, 2007 E3 brought us Resident Evil 2's Racoon City and Leipzig debuts Zero's Ecliptic Express - a train-based slog featuring escaped convict Billy Coen, co-star of RE0.

We take Wii Zapper for a test shoot
Jul 12, 2007
Even though every other Resident Evil lightgun game has been ill received, Umbrella Chronicles keeps getting a ton of positive press. We've certainly sung its praises a few times, but perhaps the most immersive part of the gameplay has only just now been experienced - playing the game with the Wii Zapper. Using only the remote and Nunchuk was fine, but the locked-in feeling and perfect hand placement of the zapper make spraying hot lead at zombie heads all the more enticing. One hand is placed ...   » Read Full Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles preview

Even though we've handed countless zombies their rotting asses, there's still something oh so special about getting to ditch all other worries and focus entirely on filling those mindless goons with hot lead. Combine this blissful sensation with new takes on Resident Evil's storied history and you've got a game that people were lining up to play at Capcom's press conference - we were first in that line, and now we're gonna tell you everything you want to know about the on-rails shooter The ...   » Read Full Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles preview
