New Releases



Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
(PS3, X360)
Publisher: Capcom
Developers: Capcom, Slant Six Games

In this week's new releases, we take a look at the newest installment from the Resident Evil series, Operation Raccoon City. It is 1998 in Raccoon City, and another outbreak of the infamous "T-Virus" has struck again and turned the residents into zombies. Big shocker, I know!

As a player in the main storyline, you can go in two paths: Destroy evidence incriminating Umbrella's illegal operations as a "USS" Umbrella Security Service" or try and expose Umbrella's evil doings as United States Special Operations Forces. Decisions make the story what it is in this game and leave the player asking "what if?"

Now with any good single player story comes a good co-op adventure. In RC (Raccoon City) it's offered as a four-player co-op mode with - you guessed it - you against the zombies! The zombies will be able to attack you in multiple ways so I hope you are ready for anything!

Summer is a great time for new releases, and video games are no exception. Here are a couple paranormal themed ones set to release through out these warmer months.

Lego Pirates of the Caribbean

Disney Interactive Studios

(Available now)

In one of many games from the Lego franchise, this installment tells the stories of the four Pirates films and features over 70 characters from the popular franchise - including undead crewmen, sweet but scary mermaids and, of course, your favorite savvy pirate Jack Sparrow.

New 'Dead Island' zombie trailer shows tragedy in paradise

Three months after the official announcement trailer, Dead Island has released a new one appropriately titled   "Tragedy in Paradise."

Though it may not seem like it is much of a trailer at first glance, things change the more you watch it. The whole zombie apocalypse game is nothing new to the average gamer with the oh-so-popular Left 4 Dead franchise still lingering and Dead Rising on its tail, but publisher Deep Silver's Dead Island seems to be taking a new spin on it.
