RE: Operation Raccoon City brutalizes the PC on May 18; new trailer released

Posted on February 24, 2012 by John Scalzo

According to Capcom, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City will be absolutely brutal. And if this new trailer is anything to go by, they’re right. Allow me to channel my inner Joe Bob Briggs for a second here as I catalog all the carnage…

We’ve got exploding zombies, flaming zombies, stabbed zombies, headshots, kneeshots, throat slashes, ninja-fu, bra-fu, and kicking-a-mutant-in-the-balls-fu. If Joe Bob Briggs were still on the air, I’m sure he’d say “Check it out!”

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City will be available for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on March 20 with a PC version to follow on May 18.

In addition to a very menacing Rhino and a creepy soundtrack, the new trailer above also reveals that The Amazing Spider-Man will be available in stores on June 26 for the 3DS, DS, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360.
