Following in the on-rails footsteps of Dead Space: Extraction and House of the Dead: Overkill (as well as House of the Dead 3), Wii light gun shooters Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles are due for PS3 ports this summer in North America and Europe, complete with enhanced HD graphics, PlayStation Move support and Trophies. As a light gun shooter lover, I just have to say thanks, Capcom!
Unfortunately the ResEvil PS Move duo, officially dubbed Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection, won’t see a Blu-ray retail release. As of now, Capcom has only announced plans to sell the combo pack as a PSN digital download beginning sometime this June. After that, the collection will be disbanded and made available as standalone downloads, should you not want to buy them together for some odd reason.
Peep the first trailer and screenshots for a look at the on-rails HD horror.
Matt Litten is a 28 year old from-the-womb gamer turned video game reviewer/blogger and current editor/owner/operator of VGBlogger.com. Matt got his first taste of gaming as a youngster on the NES and Atari, and the rest is history from there.
In 2004, three years removed from high school and still looking for a career direction in life, Matt landed his first gig in the video game review business writing for the now-defunct website BonusStage.com. After the sad and untimely close of BonusStage, the former staff went on to found VGBlogger.com, and after a short stint as US Site Manager for AceGamez Matt turned his attention to VGBlogger, and to this day is dedicated to making it one of the top video game blogs in all the blogosphere.
Matt is a fair-minded reviewer and lover of games of all platforms and types, big or small, hyped or niche, big-budget or indie. But that doesn't mean he will let poor games slide without a good thrashing when necessary.
