In a welcome twist from your typical Minecraft custom campaign, Cobb has successfully managed to weave a hearty serving of puzzles and obstacles into the mix, guaranteeing that getting from A to B won’t be any easier for you than it was for Chris Redfield and Jill Redfield, all those years ago.

More screenshots, you ask? Well, as it happens, Cobb has even more of the frightful beauties shambling about in one delicious little folder, hungry for your attention.

If you’re ready to dive straight into the meat of this tasty treat, you can go ahead and download the custom map through us by hitting the ‘Download’ link, or via the official Minecraft forum right now. Cobb encourages that you attempt to tackle this one with a buddy tagging along, likely because two heads are better than one when it comes to taking on the legions of undead in Minecraft‘s twisted variation of Resident Evil. Good luck.

Thankfully, nearly a year and half later, we’re at the door of Resident Evil: Revelations seeing a release of all the major platforms. If you’ve been longing for more fright than fight from your dose of Resident Evil, then you’ll no doubt be wanting to pick this one up when it turns up towards the tail-end of May. Capcom’s Satoshi Takamatsu is excited, anyway. Have a listen to the game’s enthusiastic art director as he details what to expect from the company’s upcoming horror:

Expect Rachel to make an appearance in Resident Evil: Revelations as a playable character in the return of the oh-so familiar Mercenaries mode.

The free Resident Evil 6 x Left 4 Dead 2 DLC/update will be made available to PC gamers via Steam on April 5th.

And for those of you whom enrolled in Steam’s lucrative pre-order scheme: enjoy your free digital copy of the Resident Evil 6 official soundtrack, free digital copy of Resident Evil 5, and unfettered access to all of Resident Evil 6‘s current DLC offerings, courtesy of the free Season Pass subscription.

This really all does sound like the sort of collaborative joke that we’d expect to see pulled on April Fools Day, but it turns out, in fact, that ‘Resident Evil x meets Left 4 Dead 2′ is a very real plan put in place by the two game development giants to help shovel even more zombie-themed madness into our two favourite necro-’em-ups. Have a listen to what Resident Evil 6‘s director Yoshiaki Jirabayashi had to say on the matter:

And here’s the dirt from the freshly printed press release:

‘Owners of Resident Evil 6 PC will be able to select one of four survivors from Left 4 Dead 2’s iconic cast – Coach, Nick, Ellis and Rochelle – when playing PC exclusive mode, The Mercenaries No Mercy. Each character will have a special customized weapon load-out created just for use in Resident Evil 6.

In addition to the four survivors, two of the infamous Special Infected zombies from the Left 4 Dead franchise – the Witch and Mini Tank – will also make a cameo appearance in this mode, relentlessly attacking players regardless of whether a character from Left 4 Dead 2 or Resident Evil 6 is chosen.

This new and exclusive content will automatically be downloaded in the background to all owners of the PC version of Resident Evil 6 from April 5.’

Ready yourself for Resident Evil: Revelations to infect PC and consoles on May 21, 2013.

Fast-forward 15 years and it seems that thought-to-be binned early version of Resident Evil 2 has resurfaced once more, thanks to a mysterious group of indie developers over at The Horror. It seems that not only have the folks over there been working hard to restore this much-coveted version of the game, but they’ve actually released a fully playable build that is bound to fulfill the cravings of many a long-time Resident Evil follower. Sure, there’s a few glitches here and there, and most of the in-game dialogue remains unvoiced, but this alpha release is certainly very much playable.

Interested? Of course you are — we all are. Please note that we, ourselves, have not yet had chance to take this supposedly genuine Resident Evil 1.5 build for a spin, so we can’t 100% confirm the validity and safety of the file, but you’re certainly welcome to try it for yourself if you’re feeling brave enough. Here’s that downlink link you’ll likely be wanting.

Hunk gameplay

And here’s a little something extra from Capcom, in keeping with the Valentine’s Day theme:

Jill Valentine tribute

Pre-ordering the game right now scores you access to the game’s digital soundtrack and equally-digital artbook. However, if enough fans band together and throw enough cash at the game before release, there’s a chance that we’ll be able to gain access to a handy Steam copy of Resident Evil 5, and perhaps even a Resident Evil 6 DLC Season Pass. It’ll apparently take quite a few punters to help unlock that promising Season Pass, though.

Interested? Head on over to Steam right now, cough up the really quite reasonable sum of £20 to secure yourself a digital copy come the day of release: March 22, 2013.

Capcom aren’t ones to neglect their faithful console fanbase, though; get ready for the equally ominous-sounding ‘Siege Mode’ to make its way onto the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Store in March for 320MSP and $3.99 respectively. Included below is a brand spanking new gameplay trailer to help whet those insatiable appetites of outs. And remember: Save the rookie, save the world.

Update: Ah, almost forgot: In the same press release sent out earlier this evening, Capcom were also able to reassure that PC fans will be able to enjoy the new Siege Mode, alone with each of the previously released DLC multiplayer modes (Survivors, Predator, Onslaught), will all be made available absolutely free of charge. So, while it’s been an uncomfortable wait for some, we will at least be treated to a generous dollop of tasty DLC at no additional cost to ourselves. Cheers Capcom.

Aside from the obligatory HD graphics update, Resident Evil: Revelations on PC and consoles will also include a few additional niceties to further entice those of us whom might have passed on the title when it was first making the rounds in February 2012, including:

• A brand new enemy (presumably something suitably chilling for the main campaign).
• A new difficulty mode (rumoured to be even more challenging than the game’s standard 3DS offerings).
• New characters and weapons for use in the game’s co-operative Raid Mode, one of which revealed to be HUNK.
• Stat-tracking and unlockable rewards via Capcom’s residentevil.net service.

Special thanks to Resi regular Hel for providing the heads-up in our forums.

Composed by the dead talented musical duo, ‘TOMANDANDY’, the official Resident Evil: Retribution features more mind-melting electronic beats than you can shake a necrotic limb at, with even the occasional moody orchestral and wub-tastic dubstep thrown in for good measure. If you haven’t yet found the opportunity to sink your teeth into the cracking new soundtrack, you’ll be wanting to shuffle your way over to Amazon UK or Amazon US, then, won’t you?

For a lucky three if you, however, you’ll be able to score yourself a freebie copy of the full soundtrack, courtesy of the wonderful — and remarkably patient — folks over at Air MTM. Fancy giving it a whirl? You need only point your clickers in the direction of this competition thread. Jolly good luck!

Even so, Capcom still have a few other tasty additions planned to come bundled within the patch, including a brand new ‘No Hope’ difficulty mode for those looking for an ‘extreme challenge’, greater subtitling options, and a much-welcome expanded FOV-tweaking ability:

Capcom have not yet specified an exact ETA on this remarkably beefy patch, but we’ll be keeping our severed fingers crossed that it’ll be early into later, rather than closer to Christmas.
