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. In an age of emerging episodic games such as The Walking Dead and A Wolf Among Us, Life is Strange is an excellent drama with a beautiful painted photograph design.

This year is the 30th anniversary of Back To The Future, the beloved 1985 classic about a time traveling DeLorean. It's a classic movie, and the trilogy as a whole is one of my personal favorites, up there with the original Star Wars trilogy and Peter Jackson's Lord of The Rings movies. To celebrate the release of this movie, Telltale Games has announced a special edition of their adaption of the series, the aptly titled Back To The Future: The Game 30th Anniversary Edition. A trailer for it was released as well, which you can check out below.

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 However, as was recently revealed, Minecraft: Story Mode doesn't use Telltale's own (and admittedly outdated) game engine, but rather the original Minecraft's engine.
