Excerpt from Wikipedia about Monster Hunter:

Monster Hunter is an action role-playing game for the PlayStation 2. The game was developed and published by Capcom. Monster Hunter was released in North America on September 21, 2004. It was later remade and expanded in Monster Hunter G, which was released in Japan and was brought to North America and Europe as Monster Hunter Freedom for the PlayStation Portable. Although much of the game can played offline through single-player, the majority of the content is in the online section of the game. Not all of the monsters are found in single-player and the player’s rewards are smaller when they are offline. The goal for players online is not to defeat the most monsters but to reach the highest hunter rank, which is the storyline that is carried out online by NPC characters.

If I need one good reason to buy PS3, then this is it! “Resident Evil 5″ is the upcoming installment on Capcom’s Resident Evil saga. According to Jun Takeuchi, the game’s producer, RE5 takes place ten years after the events of the original Resident Evil. The game will explore Chris Redfield’s life during the ten year interval between the two games. During the game’s events, he is a member of a group known as BSAA, and sent to investigate an incident in a desert area that serves as the game’s setting. Takeuchi also confirmed that a female character from the series will appear in the game.

Btw, do you know that the third Resident Evil movie will be out very soon this month (September 21st to be precise)? I just happen to know today. The movie is called “Resident Evil: Extinction” and it will adapt several plot elements from Resident Evil: Code Veronica, as well as feature various characters and creatures from the game series.

Here’s the international poster of Resident Evil: Extinction movie.

And finally, the teaser movie.
