Resident Evil. What hasn't been said about of Capcom's survival horror franchise? Much like Doom, while Resident Evil isn't the first survival horror game (that honor goes to Alone in the Dark), it was the game that made the genre popular, and since it's release on March 22nd, 1996 in Japan (March 30th in the US, and August 1st in Europe), the series has spawned numerous sequels, spinoffs, ports, remakes, comics, manga, rides, restaurants, and even some movies, both CG and live action, with the live action movies not only being their own universe separate from the games, but are actually ending this year with Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.

Square Enix has released the final trailer for their episodic series Life is Strange, the story of a girl that can rewind time as a conspiracy grips her small Oregon time. The fifth episode is slated to be released later this week, and with it draws the five episode series to a close. The series has been well received, garnering over one million sales since its January release date. Last we left her, Max had just discovered the secret of the Dark Room, as a raging storm threatens just off the coast.

It looks like The Last Guardian might not have happened if it weren't for fans asking about it.

Minecraft: Story Mode is certainly a departure from developer Telltale Games previous outings. For starters, it's an adventure game set in the Minecraft universe, which while famous for a lot of things, having any kind of story isn't one of them. However, as was recently revealed, Minecraft: Story Mode doesn't use Telltale's own (and admittedly outdated) game engine, but rather the original Minecraft's engine.

A teaser trailer was released on the Playstation YouTube channel for a new 2D platformer called Extreme Exorcism. Developed by Golden Ruby Games, players take control of Mae Barrons, an Extreme Exorcist, who must navigate through a haunted house and exterminate its ghostly inhabitants. The twist is that every time you defeat a ghost, that ghost will return and mimic something that you did previously, such as imitating you using your spread shot or using a special move. The number of ghosts imitating you increases with each stage, and combined with one hit kills, is sure to bring a fair bit of challenge to the game.
