Capcom's second installment in its ultra-popular undead rail shooter series,
Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles has gotten a release date. Unfortunately, because I'm a cruel and sadistic person I won't tell you what that date right away (promise you won't scroll down?). As a longtime fan of the
Resident Evil series (I even enjoyed the movies, and if that's not hardcore I don't know what is) I really enjoyed
Umbrella Chronicles. Rarely anymore do I play a Wii, but rail shooters are one of the few reasons for developers to use the Wii's motion controls as more than an annoying gimmick.
Darkside Chronicles offers stunning visuals (for the Wii anyways), cooperative play, and the intense zombie action gamers have come to expect from the premier survival horror franchise.
If you're like me and you desperately need one of those awesome T-shirts that have been floating around the web recently, all the info you'll require to get your
Darkside Chronicles t-shirt can be found
here. And if you have nothing better to do, why don't you follow
Leon and
Claire on Twitter! Beware: I have a hunch it's not
actually Leon and Claire running those accounts.
So, you got this far. I think that's earned you some satisfaction for your dedication, and for those who simply scrolled down for the goods: shame on you.
Darkside Chronicles will be giving gamers a reason to dust off their Wiis when it releases on November 17th, for $49.99. If you find yourself hungering for more information I suggest you shuffle on over to the game's
website.
