22 years ago... Survival Horror got a double dose of action and terror by bringing the zombie apocalypse and Umbrella's biological monstrosities to Raccoon City - as Capcom unleashed one of the greatest games for the Sony Playstation on this day in 1998 with "Resident Evil 2".
Released in North America first on January 21, 1998 - the game that is also known as "Biohazard 2" was a direct continuation of the 1996 third person action adventure title that coined the genre "Survival Horror", and introduced us to two new protagonists in Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield. Set two months after the events of the first Resident Evil - our new heroes enter the fiction midwestern town of Raccoon City - lost to an outbreak and forcing them to find a way to escape and survive by any means necessary.

It’s the game that changed a generation and redefined one of Capcom’s most popular video game franchises for better or for worse, but on this weekend 15 years ago - Resident Evil 4, or Biohazard 4 as it is known in its native Japan, was released first on the Nintendo GameCube - bringing back Resident Evil 2 protagonist Leon S. Kennedy as a special ops government agent and deployed on a mission to save the US President’s daughter Ashley Graham from a group of cultists known as the “Los Illuminados”.
Resident Evil 4 Demo Gameplay (Nintendo GameCube)
Initially made as an exclusive to the system, Capcom eventually made RE4 for other systems - first porting it to the PlayStation 2 the following year and then having subsequent re-releases on other platforms and next generations consoles thereafter. The game became one of the best-selling video games of its generation, and changed the RE franchise from “Survival Horror” to “Survival Action” - focusing more on the “Run and Gun” part and making Leon shoot “over the shoulder” and putting an emphasis on “Quick Time Events” during gameplay and cutscenes.
So let’s raise a toast this game - one of the best and definitely a game Capcom will always find a way to release again - even today on the Nintendo Switch! It’s third person gameplay influenced several shooters, and even the Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes owe a lot to the path started by this game! Happy Anniversary, Resident Evil 4!

The long awaited Clone Wars will finally make its triumphant return to television and streaming next month, as Disney announced that the seventh season of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" is set to premiere on Disney + on February 17!
Thanks to a promotional video that aired on the service and reported via Comic Book Resources, fans now know the date of when the highly anticipated continuation to the popular CG animated series will begin. As the final season of the show that is set between Attack of The Clones and Revenge of the Sith, viewers will get to see more of the adventures of Anakin Skywalker, Ob-Wan Kenobi, Anakin's young apprentice Ahsoka Tano, and more.
After the release of "The Rise of Skywalker" and the conclusion of the first season of "The Mandalorian", Star Wars fever is still picking up.
Even if the events of DC Rebirth and the recently concluded “Doomsday Clock” have seemingly given finality and explanation that Doctor Manhattan of the Watchmen universe was responsible for all the changes going on to the DC Universe - it looks like another twist and wrench has been thrown in to make matters even more interesting and complicated at the same time.
Via colorist Michael Atiyah’s Twitter - the cover to DC’s upcoming “Shazam #13” reveals Billy Batcon and his friends defeated at the hands of a very familiar foe - SUPERBOY-PRIME. Yes, the same insane alternate reality young Superman who punched through the wall of their “paradise” during the events of “Infinite Crisis” that sent ripples through time and made changes to DC continuity which included the resurrection of Jason Todd, as well as the same alternate version of Clark Kent that joined the Sinestro Corps and even killed heroes like Superman from Earth-2.
What he will do and how he factors into the new future of the DCU is anyone’s guess, but it won’t be good that’s for sure as the architect of his downfall, Geoff Johns, is writing Shazam and will probably have a very good explanation for this.
Thanks goes to Bleeding Cool for putting this up. We’ll just have to wait for “Shazam #13” sometime very soon to see what happens next - Whether it be another big event or crisis that occurs because of his actions and madness.
As far as we're concerned, that is "America's Ass" represented in this version of Steve Rogers from 2012, as Hot Toys faithfully recreates a 1/6th scale version of Captain America - albeit as he appears in the past and during the first "Avengers" film!
During the "Time Heist" mission the surviving members of Earth's Mightiest Heroes embark in, Cap along with Iron Man, Hulk, and Ant-Man travel back in time to 2012 during the Battle of New York to find three Infinity Stones. In the midst of things, Cap of 2024 encounters his past self, and both engage in some shield fisticuffs. That version will be released in action figure form soon, and Hot Toys has provided sneak peek photos of the figure in action, with an alternate Chris Evans head, Loki's Scepter, and a briefcase among other accessories included.
In what certainly will be a forthcoming new thing for DC fans and collectors to look forward to this 2020, McFarlane Toys and DC have unveiled via their official website the first preview photos of their upcoming "DC Multiverse" line... And by far they are quite impressive to look at! Since acquiring the license, Todd McFarlane and his toy making company have been keeping mum about how these figures look like... UNTIL NOW.
Featuring variations of popular mainstays like Batman and Superman as well as new figures like the Justice League Unlimited version of Green Lantern John Stewart and The Batman Who Laughs, these awesome looking 7" figures are slated to come within the year and beyond, and one of the waves includes a Build Your Own Batmobile!
Be sure to check McFarlane Toys for updates on these DC Multiverse toys!
