When was the last time you felt scared? Not just my-girl's-gonna-let-me-have-it scared, I'm talking soil-yourself-shamelessly scared. True enough, there might not be a video game out there that'll make you literally crap your pants, and it's far too impractical (and stupid) to find Leatherface to force your dinner down the backdoor. That said, let's just take a look at the things that come close.

Disney is getting ready to loosen their grip on the drawstrings that keep all the Epic Mickey goodness they have in place. Game Informer is currently running a new feature that finally shows us what the redesigned Mickey Mouse looks like. Hit the jump for the pics.

The next Resident Evil movie, dubbed Resident Evil: Afterlife, has now been announced and production has begun in Toronto, Canada. Milia Jovovich will be returning as the overpowered, zombie-pwning Alice, while Claire Redfield will still be played by Ali Larter. The rest of the ol' crew will be meeting again on-set, but they will be joined by a new face - Wentworth Miller, who will play Chris Redfield.

Frank West may not know any fancy-shmancy Hadoukens or have bionic body parts, but apparently being caught in the middle of a zombie apocalypse has left him with a few moves up his sleeve. Watch the Dead Rising protagonist hit people with baseball bats and summon zombies in the video after the jump.

Plants vs. Zombies, released for PC and Mac a couple of months ago, is a quirky little tower defense game from PopCap Games that has players using plants to defend their house against a zombie invasion. If that sounds right up your alley, then here's some good news.

Like the endless horde that countless movies portray them as, zombies have seen a resurgence in gaming, the most recent one being XomB (pronounced "zombie") from 3G Studios. Set in a re-imagined version of feudal Asia and drawing heavily from Asian mythology, XomB has the player fighting against a sweeping darkness that's forcibly corrupting the landscape and reanimating the dead.

Bad Nintendo, bad. You made the NIMF angry. The media watchdog group has expressed disappointment with the big N over allowing ultra-violent game MadWorld to be published on the Wii, practically accusing the console of no longer being family friendly.

Now who wants to buy the game even more? Me me me me me!

With the release of Resident Evil 5 so close that you can almost smell the zombie halitosis, a new rumor got churned out of the mill that Code Veronica will be getting a remake for the Wii.

Via the press wire, Capcom has confirmed the European release dates (or at least, some release windows) for seven of their upcoming games during the first half of this year. Some of these have already been confirmed before, some of them are just being pegged now. But if you wanted an updated Capcom calendar, then here's your ticket.

This is a category that's especially close to my heart, kudos to those who dared to risk all, who colored outside the lines and put the extra thinkin' effort into giving us something fresh.

Once again, a lot of our editors agreed on one very special title... Unreal Tournament III... just kidding!
