Here's a very good example of what you can do with the creation tools provided to you by Valve for their action-packed zombie-killing Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360, PC): recreate Resident Evil 3's Raccoon City.

Those hankering for more details on Capcom and Sony Pictures' Resident Evil: Degeneration will finally have a longer trailer to chew on, along with a few tidbits of details on the side. Yes, Leon and Claire are back, and the zombies are now invading Midwestern America. More details and the video in the full article.

So you're planning a road trip, eh? Finally decided to get out of the house, stretch your legs, and get some well-needed R&R after that ridiculously-long all nighter fragging loud thirteen-year-old kids in the Halo 3 Beta? Spiffing! The sunshine will do you a world of good, not to mention the physical rigors of an excursion will get the juices flowing again in those game-atrophied muscles.

While there are some ideal destinations that let you lounge beside a sparkling pool while being waited on hand and foot by beautiful, scantily-clad specimens of the female persuasion, there ARE a couple of locations you might want to mark off your list, or avoid entirely. This Videogame Enthusiast Survival guide is about those locations, and if on the off-chance you find yourself in them - well, you're pretty much beyond all help.

But don't lose ALL hope, though, as this IS a survival guide, and we have a few tips to share - just in case.

Resident Evil has gone a long way from being just a shocker during PSX days to a full-blown franchise. Capcom is now taking the next level, with Resident Evil 5 hitting next-gen next year.

NECA, the toy company that delivered Resident Evil Anniversary Series 1 action figures, continues the celebration with the release of Series 2 which include the cute guys from RE 2.

Those who grabbed RE2 a few years back and attempted to escape the infested Raccoon City will feel at home with these very detailed models. Coming from the set are classic monsters we all loved to blow up, such as Labcoat and Crimson Head zombies.

What's a reunion without the Lickers that scared the hell out of us when it jumped through the window while all Leon or Claire had was a puny handgun? How about the agile Hunters that gave a good adrenaline rush? Of course, it won't be complete without the big guy Tyrant.
