Sure, zombie genocide and a meaty metal soundtrack is a cliche pairing, but throwing in the ability to spear dive the undead certainly mixes things up.

Video Blips:

• The theme for this Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City trailer is "brutality." An alternative theme might be "This is what mosh pit experts actually believe."

• Max Payne 3's Mini-30 rifle blends accuracy, power, and the everlasting utility of a wooden club in one compact package. Let's hope Max refrains from using it as a makeshift boomerang.

• Fashioning your villain alter ego after a smelly mammal usually doesn't end well, but Rhino just headbutts away his problems in The Amazing Spider-Man. All problems except one annoying spider, of course. It's like hunting a daddy longlegs in your house with a cinderblock.
