CELEBRATE A DECADE OF THRILLS, CHILLS & GREAT VOICE ACTING WITH

RESIDENT EVIL® 10th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION FOR NINTENDO GAMECUBE

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Oct. 24, 2006 — The definitive survival horror

series celebrates its 10^th anniversary with the release of Resident

Evil® 10th Anniversary Collection *for the Nintendo GameCube™. The set

includes a trio of must-have Resident Evil titles for the system:

Resident Evil®, Resident Evil® Zero and Resident Evil® 4.

Exclusively available at EB Games and GameStop stores nationwide for a

suggested retail price of $39.99, the collection carries an “M" rating

for mature audiences by the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board).

The Resident Evil series has sold more than 30 million units worldwide

and is Capcom's highest selling series to date.

Raccoon City. A secluded mansion is the epicenter of top-secret biotech

experiments – all funded by a mysterious corporation known only as

Umbrella. Members of S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Squad) are

sent to investigate reports of gory attacks from areas near the area.

The Alpha team is chased by monstrous creatures into the mysterious

mansion. Once inside, the horrific adventure begins. Resident Evil

on GameCube is a remake of the original survival horror masterpiece

that shaped a genre. Players take on the role of either Chris Redfield

or Jill Valentine as they explore the infamous mansion to uncover the

secrets behind a radical, genetic research facility.

Resident Evil Zero follows the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team as they

investigate a series of grisly murders in Raccoon City. En route to

their destination, the helicopter crashes and though they survive, they

find themselves at a gruesome site riddled with corpses. Zero

features two playable characters - Rebecca, a rookie Raccoon City

police offer, and Billy, a framed convict on the run. By utilizing a

partner zapping system, players follow the adventures of both characters

and switch between them at any time, heightening the frenetic pace of

the dual perspectives.

In Resident Evil 4 *players are reacquainted with Leon S. Kennedy,

Raccoon City Police Department’s idealistic rookie cop from /Resident

Evil 2. / It has been six years since the destruction of Raccoon City

and in that time, the U.S. government has been able to destroy the

nefarious Umbrella Corporation. Fast forward as players rejoin Leon,

who is now a U.S. agent with a top-secret mission. He has been tasked

to look into the abduction of the President’s daughter and his

investigation has led him to a mysterious location in Europe. As Leon

encounters unimaginable horrors, he must find out who or what is behind

everything. This landmark title earned numerous 2005 “Game of the Year"

honors from various outlets including: /Game Informer, GameSpot,

GamePro, Spike TV Video Game Awards 2005, UGO.com, G4TV’s X-Play,

Chicago Tribune, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette/ and many more.

Ugh. If 2 and 3 were included that would be a dealmaker even though I already have those three.

I need 2 and 3 to sit with my 4, Code Veronica, 0, and Remake. But I don't want to spend 80 dollars on used copies.

Seeing as how Ada Wong is SO INCREDIBLY HAWT, I'm surprised I don't already own RE4. At this price it's a bit more appealing, though I already own REmake and played through 0 and 4 on rentals. So really, I'd just be replaying the Ada (re)intro scene in RE4 over and over, and I can already do that on YouTube. (Just not in high quality, though. Where's Pro666 and his mad video capturing skillz?)

Okay, I wouldn't buy it. But I can see how it'd be a deal for someone who hasn't played them.

I could swear that this is old news, though. EDIT: Oh, the news is that it's been RELEASED now. My bad.

They should've added the extra Ada stuff in this rerelease of the GameCube version of RE4 (much like how the PS2 Greatest Hits version of Silent Hill 2 has the extra Maria stuff that the Xbox version of SH2 has that the first PS2 release didn't).

Got all three along with 2 & 3 and Veronica. I actually picked up 2 & 3 at Fry's about 2 years after they were released for $30 a piece. Good deal for such rare discs.
