I haven’t posted about actual games on the horizon lately, so here’s some quick updates:

• I could have sworn Silent Hill: 0rgins was on the fast-track to cancellation, but this new GameInformer article proves me wrong. It looks like this game might actually ship! Via Kotaku.
• A Wii version of Resident Evil 4 has been announced. There’s some videos available, and it looks pretty cool (Wiimote aiming!).
• A new Resident Evil rail-shooter called The Umbrella Chronicles is also headed for Wii. Check out the official site (contains video) to get an idea of what to expect.
• Possession, the RTS-meets-zombie game from Blitz, is apparently on hold. That’s usually the mark of death in this industry, but hopefully that game eventually sees the light of day.
• Sadness, another game that I expect to never be published, has switched developers. I wouldn’t hold your breath for this one.

Update: Here’s some interesting comments by Akira Yamaoka on how Silent Hill 5 will mostly resemble Silent Hill 2, rather than 3, 4, or 0rgins. Whoo-hoo!

Update #2: Whoa, all of a sudden the horror game frequency is abuzz with activity! First, there is a new Alone in the Dark 5 in-engine trailer over at Kotaku. Also, one of you guys posted this link to new Obscure screens. Thanks for the info!
