Gaming News

Last week Capcom announced RESIDENT EVIL.NET, a free online service that Capcom promise will "enhance the Resident Evil 6 experience for players across the globe". Curious? Well today Capcom released a video showing off the various treats that RE.NET holds for gamers...

You must have the Adobe Flash Player installed to view this player.

Must admit, I'm not one for on-line gaming (I know I'm a Philistine) but this looks pretty good and could tempt me from my gaming hermit ways. Anyway if you want a full run-down of features to go with the video, Capcom have kindly provided that too...

1.Comprehensive stat tracking
- Enemies killed
- Weapons used
- Medals earned
- And more
2.Compare your game with those of friends and other Resident Evil 6 players around the world
3.Link your status with Twitter & Facebook
