Brian Warner, better known as Marilyn Manson, is playing a role in writing the music for the upcoming flick. Updated

Marilyn Manson (who doesn't really need an introduction I think) has a part in the Resident Evil movie. Not as a member of the cast as I originally thought, but as composer. I previously wrote that he was playing a role in the movie, but that was incorrect.

Thanks goes to a reader, Aaron, for pointing this out.

Good news for Rare FPS fans all around the world!

According to the boys at RareNet, Perfect Dark Zero is under development, and apparently has been for some time now.

Noting that online play and a slew of innovative features will be included in the game, and citing a "likely" release date of late 2002/early 2003 (making note that we may be subject to Rare's infamous delays) RareNet has made this a joyous day for all Rare FPS fans.

Before Super Smash Brothers Melee, Famitsu had given every GameCube game released in Japan a Gold Award. Did Melee continue that streak? Unfortunately not.

Scoring 37/40, Super Smash Brothers Melee received the coveted Platinum Award from Famitsu, the insanely popular Japanese videogame magazine. The individual scores from the four editors who reviewed Melee consisted of three 9’s and one 10. Melee hits American (and Canadian) shores early in December, and should stand alongside Luigi’s Mansion as one of the best selling GameCube titles of 2001.

REDMOND, Wash.--Nov. 13, 2001--Nintendo of America Inc. today

announced a federal judge in the U.S. District Court in Seattle,

Shinji Mikami has revealed that there will be major changes to the Resident Evil remake.

According to the Gaming Intelligence Agency, Shinji Mikami, the producer of the Resident Evil series, has stated that the new GameCube remake of Resident Evil will have major changes made from the original PSX version.

In fact, the GIA states that about 70% of the game will differ in some way from the original. Mikami was quoted as saying he wanted to make the remake interesting to those who had played the original.

No new details, but a re-affirmation that things are in the works.

GameSpot has run a portion of an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto that ran in the Japanese publication Mainichi, in which Shiggy briefly addresses Nintendo’s online gaming plans. Miyamoto said that the GameCube already has games that are communicating to the player. Elements such as the ability to exchange and share data between the GameCube and the Game Boy Advance and use the Mobile Adapter GB are a means of communication, Miyamoto said.
