Resident Evil: Degeneration (also known as ‘Bio Hazard: Degeneration’ in Japan) is the first full-length CG animation movie based on the highly popular Resident Evil game series. Two of the confirmed characters are Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Refield. As for the story, it will take place about 7 years after the Raccoon City’s incident (RE1, RE2, RE3) which is two years after Umbrella Corporation was destroyed (RE: The Umbrella Chronicles) or one year after Ashley Graham kidnapped (RE4). The (very) short trailer shows an event where zombies are attacking SWAT officers in an airport terminal.

Resident Evil: Degeneration was first announced by Capcom and Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan on on October 29, 2007. The scheduled release date is this year. Hopefully, we don’t have to wait very long for this movie.

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the sequal to Tecmo’s popular 3D action game, Ninja Gaiden. In this game, you’ll control Ryu Hayabusa and help him avenge his clan and prevent the destruction of the human race. Ninja Gaiden 2 runs on brand new engine and sports an auto-generation health system, new enemies and locales, as well as thrilling combat built upon an extensive assortment of ninja weaponry. The trailer for the XBox 360 system looks awesome though, hopefully it’d be better than Conan (trailer).

Glad I’ve just bought XBox 360!

“My Sims” is the next big hit in The Sims-franchise. The game was exclusively developed by EA Games for Nintendo Wii and DS. It features a cute chibbi characters, in hope to boost the sales in Japan. FYI, Japanese doesn’t like all of those The Sims game series, so probably a little help from Animal Crossing (from the trailer, IMHO, My Sims looks almost exactly like Animal Crossing) would do…

And here’s the Animal Crossing (DS) trailer if you don’t believe me.
