Release date: January 25

You crafty sod, Capcom, you had us all conned into believing Resident Evil 2's long-awaited remake had turned into vaporware, what with the three-year stretch of radio silence that followed its original announcement. Then, even in spite of the customary pre-E3 spoiler season outing its presence at this year's show, as soon as Leon's baby face appeared on-screen, the crowds went wild with astonishment.

On precedence of REmake's quality alone, Resi fans were expecting something truly special for the return visit to Raccoon City, but this? This is a remake on a scale we've not seen before; a from-the-ground-up reconstruction of William Birkin's stomping ground with every alley, landmark and quirk present in the original faithfully recreated for the modern age.

If Resident Evil 2's rebirth proves to be the perfect marriage of Resi old and new, then Capcom may well reinvent the survival horror wheel yet again come the new year.
