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.

Because this review seems to indicate that there are, in fact, no zombies in Resident Evil 4.
Resident Evil 4 will be making its way to PS2 sometime late in 2005.
Capcom is also releasing a limited edition chainsaw controller for RE 4. Not required in anyway to play the game, but some might find it cool.

www.gaming-age.com is a great resource (IMHO), the content on the message boards vary from very useful and insightful information/reviews to borderline trolling though.
Chewie does not get a medal. Come on, George. Can a Wookie get a medal?
This game has taken me away from my task of beating Metroid Prime 2. The challenge is great, and the amount of fun and accomplishment experienced while playing is so refreshing when compared to the previous games. The fast pace is perfect. The game is hard too. I'm 6 hours into it and have died 10 times already. I'm curious as to how the PS2 is going to handle this game.
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.
