Evercade EXP to feature 18 built-in Capcom classics

If the powered-up Evercade EXP wasn’t enticing enough, sporting several enhancements in addition to vertical screen orientation, manufacturer Blaze has revealed 18 Capcom classics will come built-in.

Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 – Review

As much as we admired the concept behind Ubisoft’s Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, it was still a vastly familiar experience under the neon-hued exterior. That’s to say, the AI routines, vehicle handling and even some of the mission objectives were identical to its full-price counterpart. Super Ultra...

There’s a slight retro theme running through this week’s new releases – a new Silent Hill along with the anticipated HD collection, a Ridge Racer revamp, this year’s Tiger Woods and a load of Capcom classics on one handy disk. The emphasis is obviously on the word ‘slight’...

Publisher’s unpublished pasts

Publishers tend to be a predictable bunch, releasing sequels and yearly sports updates, snapping up cartoon and movie licenses, and occasionally setting up new studios while closing down older ones. It’s a little odd, then, that when a publisher does something out of the ordinary it often goes...

Dead Rising 2

The front cover for Dead Rising 2 shows humble hero Chuck Greene brandishing a handmade weapon consisting of two chainsaws strapped to a canoe paddle. It’s one of the cooler weapons that can be made in the game, but it’s not the coolest. That accolade goes to the...

Capcom speaks

Mature Wii games don’t sell. This isn’t new news, but a recent interview with Capcom also reveals that so-called ‘gamers’ games aren’t shifting either with many ‘hardcore’ gamers putting down their Wii remotes and reaching out for their Xbox and PlayStation joypads instead. The low sales of the...
