Ever wanted to put a rusty chainsaw through the mug of your best gaming pal? Get set for the latest twist in the Resident Evil franchise as game number five dumps the cooperative multi-player angle and pitches players up against each other thanks to a new online ‘Versus’ mode.

Released separately to the game’s physical launch, the mode’s available for download from Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network, and lets up to four gamers join in the horrorcore fun, either as a bloody ‘Survivor’s Rule’ last-man-standing melee or in a rack-up-the-body-count ‘Slayer’s Rule’ shoot-out where the player who offs the most Majinis takes the spoils.

At only $4.99 on the PlayStation Network and 400 fanciful Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE, covering yourself with blood and guts has never been this easy.

E3 rages onward, and like any gaming expo, one of the main orders of the day is the sequel. Some people hate sequels, and rightfully so. A sequel done poorly is just a rehashing of the original game with new stuff added that either ruins what was fun about the original or just feels boring. Take Unreal Tournament for example. The 99′ edition was bitchin’. Every release after that, less so. They announced UT3 today and no one gives a shit because nothing feels fresh and all the old classic stuff that people loved has been squeezed out. (more…)

At the premiere of Resident Evil: Extinction in Las Vegas Sylvester Stallone and his posse rolled up like “Whaaaaaaaaat…I’m Sly/Rocky/Rambo and this is my posse, son!”

Sly gave the Hollywood Reporter exclusive inside information on what will be the finest piece of cinema this millennium – John Rambo: In the Serpent’s Eye.

So, I’m assuming you clicked the link and heard all the leaked info. You’re ready to post all about it in your blog thingamabob, right?

Right? No?

Let me guess: you’re wondering, “What news? Nobody said anything worth reporting, and all Sly said was that ‘Rambo is in a very grumpy mood, and he’s gonna let it all out.’”

That’s all you need to know, truth-seeker – this isn’t The Darjeeling Limited.

Sly stating that Rambo is “very grumpy” in John Rambo is like hearing that God is “kinda-sorta mad” at mankind. January 25, 2008 can’t come soon enough.

I mean c’mon…take a look at the picture! Rambo versus a poisonous snake! A Rambo and snake stare-off! F*** it, this is the best movie ever already.
