Resident Evil Zero was the scary-big release this week. The game finally came to PC and other non-Nintendo platforms for the first time since it was released on the GameCube, back in 2002. As with last year's excellent Resident Evil rerelease, Capcom did such an amazing job with the 2002 version that very little effort was actually needed for the remaster. Quite impressive, considering that was thirteen years and two console generations ago.
What Capcom did include for this rerelease is optional widescreen support, better resolution, extra control configurations, and the addition of Steam Achievements. Even without those appreciated extras, this game is well worth the price of admission. Whether you're a long-time fan of the series who's never had the chance to play this entry or you're brand new to Resident Evil, you need to check this game out. (If you are new though, you should really check out last year's incredible remaster first.)
Also out this week, a lot of great titles, including a port of the WayForward Wii remake of the NES classic, A Boy and His Blob, a cool-looking insect shoot 'em up called The Bug Butcher, and a brand new prequel to the popular Homeworld series. See what happened to STARS Bravo Team during the events leading up to the "Mansion Incident", then jump past the break to see many more of this week's new releases.
