Amazingly, I still haven't seen Resident Evil: Degeneration, but I was told by some of the guys from the RE5 team that it's good. We're actually having a showing Thursday, so I'll finally get the chance to judge for myself. For those of you not lucky enough to win passes to see the movie in New York during the NYC HorrorFest, you can take a gander at the first eight minutes of the flick -- right here!

RE:D is out on BluRay and DVD in North America on Dec. 31, which means that you now know what you'll be showing at your New Year's Eve party. It's the perfect appetizer to go with Zombie **** Clark's Rockin' Brain Suckin' New Year's Arockalypse.

Fansite REHorror.net manged to grab some time with Ken Lally, the motion capture actor who played the role of Wesker in Resident Evil 5. Ken's got some interesting things to say about mo-cap roles, acting for a game, making friends on set and the pros and cons of playing sexy. Check it out over here.

After much, much hard work and rounds and rounds of approvals, the Resident Evil 5 website quietly crept on to the internet last week, like a majini right before it starts the chainsaw. Last week was what we call in the biz "the soft launch" of the site, which means "We went live during Tokyo Game Show and weren't sure if the internet was going to catch on fire when we hit the Go Button." One week later, the internet is still a safe place to steal music from, so we're all good.

The new RE5 site is pretty damn cool and will be updated frequently, meaning new surprises, information and cool utilities in the days and weeks ahead. The site already has loads of videos, screenshots, game features, characters and more. Just mouse over the glow-y five towards the bottom of the window and all sorts of cool things reveal themselves.

The Milkman strikes! James Mielke just updated his 1up blog with news and first look at the November cover of EGM, which features an awesome Resident Evil 5 cover and tons of new info on the game inside. But wait, the RE5 goodness doesn't just end with dead trees! 1up is also going to be killing a huge amount of pixels throughout the month of October and on into November as they blow out their coverage online with video interviews, the debut of the RE5 TGS trailer and much more. The first online bits will pop up this Friday, Oct. 3 in a Resident Evil 5 special on the 1up Show.

The nutty funsters over at Minus World have put together a fun Highlights-style Resident Evil Activity Book for Children. There's a crossword puzzle (4 down: "An evil corporation), a "Diversify the Infected" coloring panel and much more. Best touch is the mailing label on the front cover, above. Fun for sarcasm-loving kids of all ages, as long as those ages are over 17.
