Sorry for the unsavoury headline, but, uh, we're pretty sure that's what's happening in the above picture. A zombie bat, flying around, covering heroine Sheva Alomar in...discharge. Maybe it's a marinade. Who knows. Oh, anyone disappointed at the lack of focus on zombie dirt bike riders in the headline - or the post itself - hit the link for the gallery, you'll find zombie dirt bike redemption inside.

Above, the first eight minutes of the upcoming Resident Evil CGI feature, Degeneration. You'll get eight minutes of backstory and build-up, along with a certain...understanding. See, at TGS, they had this running right next to Resident Evil 5, on a big screen. And Resident Evil 5 looked better. A lot better. The stiff, bulky characters and animation on show here look more like a pre-rendered cutscene for a PS2 game than a 21st-century animation film. Ah well. It has zombies, it's Resident Evil, people will love it. After the jump, the conclusion to the above scene, age-gated because there are eat-the-flesh-of-the-living bits.

Ah, a trip down memory lane, filled with the walking dead. Here's a look at how zombies have changed over the years in the Resident Evil series. Gameplay's changed, too!

Mila Jovovich sure loves those Hollywood game adaptations. She's already cut her teeth on the big screen version of Resident Evil, and now she's just signed on to star as character Alyssa Barron in the long-in-development-hell Clock Tower film. The movie is based on the Konami suspense titles of the same name. Martin Weisz (The Hills Have Eyes II) will take the reigns as director and scribe Eric Poppen penned the script. Hope it's good!

Reader Burnman sent along these pics of what appears to be a rubber band gun that shoots airplanes. Yeah, airplanes. Anyway, If that isn't weird enough, the package has a photoshopped image of Resident Evil's Leon Kennedy holding said gun. Is this a hint at future Resident Evil weapons to come? Or is this just a shameless attempt by a company to sell their crappy products using video game characters? Close up photos after the jump.

You're picking your way through the destitute skeleton of an abandoned building. All around you, decaying, discarded décor reminds you that people lived and worked here once, just as it prompts you to wonder what happened to them. Strange noises and crawling damp seep through the rotted walls.

Your backpack is stuffed with cryptic objects you inexplicably picked up in your exploration - unsettling to look at and obscure in their application, they somehow hold the solutions to the puzzles that impede your progress, if only you can figure them out.

It's dark, you've got a weak flashlight, a short knife, maybe a length of steel pipe you picked up along your way. And you have a sinking feeling that at the end of the next corridor, death is lurking in the shape of a shambling, deformed monster. But you press on through the dispassionate madness, driven by unravelling mysteries and the unresolved ghosts of your own past.

This is survival horror - does it still exist?
