Kotaku has some leaked Silent Hill 0rigins footage up this morning. Looking good Climax, just don’t screw it up!
Resident Evil 5 Footage
Here’s some white-hot game play footage from Resident Evil 5. It looks a whole lot like Resident Evil 4, which is absolutely fine by me!
0rigins Hands On
Kotaku has some hands-on impressions of Silent Hill: 0rgins for PSP. They seem to like it in their “everything is flawed” sort of way. The good news is that the game doesn’t seem to lose its engrossing strength on a handheld system.
Friday the 13th E3 News Bombardment!
