Capcom has revealed the first details of Resident Evil 6's story during an announcement event in Japan.

Returning characters Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield will both be playable, but will each have their own storyline.

In America, a bioterrorism attack transforms the President into a zombie right in front of Leon. He is joined by Helen Harper, who was a member of the President's security detail, to investigate the attack. Chris, however, will be in China as he searches for the source of the bioterrorism attack. Both Chris and Leon's stories will progress simultaneously.

A third character, who was revealed in yesterday's announcement trailer, will also be playable. Capcom has not revealed this character's name but described him as "the man who's told to save the world".




Zombies will return as the primary enemy in Resident Evil 6, after their absence in Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5. A new powerful creature called Javo will also play a significant role in the game, and can be seen chasing the mysterious third character in the above announcement trailer.

Civilization developer Firaxis is making XCOM: Enemy Unknown, a re-imagination of the classic turn-based strategy game.

US magazine Game Informer revealed Enemy Unknown, saying it "introduces a wider console audience to what made the storied franchise great in the first place". It launches on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this autumn.

"Unlike 2K Marin's previously announced XCOM shooter, which sparked tempers among longtime fans for turning its back on the series' cerebral roots, this title is a full-on strategy game that puts players in command of a global anti-alien defense force," Game Informer said.

Firaxis boss Steve Martin added: "It's been a dream of ours to recreate X-COM with our unique creative vision. We're huge fans of the original game and it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to re-envision a game that is as beloved as X-COM.

"We were careful to keep XCOM: Enemy Unknown true to the elements that made X-COM such a revered game while delivering an entirely new story and gameplay experience for both die-hard X-COM fans and newcomers to the franchise."

Firaxis' XCOM will have destructible tactical environments, and fuses a real-time strategic view with turn-based combat.

It marks the first time in eight years that the Christmas number one spot has not been held by an Activision or Electronic Arts title, according to Chart Track. Elsewhere in the top ten, Mario & Sonic At The London 2012 Olympic Games and Need For Speed: The Run re-enter the chart at eighth and ninth respectively, outing Mario Kart 7 and Uncharted 3 in the process.

At least it's not MW3, Skyrim is a great game and has had me hooked since it came out and I'm not even halfway through it!
