Resident Evil 4 Released
Gamespot has the word that Resident Evil 4 has (finally) lurched and shambled onto the console market. From the article: Set after the events of previous RE installments, Resident Evil 4 follows series protagonist Leon S. Kennedy on an all-new adventure outside Raccoon City, the setting of the most of the previous games. This time around, the US government operative has been sent to a small European village in search of the president's missing daughter. However, since this is a Resident Evil game, he instead finds zombies--lots of zombies." Nothing like an outbreak of the undead to put on your tourist brochure. Reviews available via Gamespot and Gamespy.
Why do people apparently find this such a compelling plot? List of STPD games: Res. Evil 4 Die Hard Arcade Silent Scope ( - whole presidential family kidnapped) anyone else got more to add?

You only have to wait as long as it takes you to buy a Gamecube, then you can play it on Gamecube in all it's superiority! Seriously, the PS2 version will be toned down a LOT in the graphical department. Why would you want that? Besides, the GC is only $99 and has many other great games as well.
