Dino Stalker

Capcom put a big blemish on the Resident Evil series when it tried to marry RE�s survival-horror theme to the play mechanics of a first-person shooter. However, Dino Stalker, a Dino Crisis spinoff, hopes to avoid Survivor�s disastrous results.
Akin to Resident Evil Survivor, Dino Stalker will take the Dino Crisis series into the realm of first-person gun games. In Stalker, you�ll be armed with a pistol and other weapons, and blast consecutive waves of attacking dinosaurs�T-Rexes, Pterodactyls, you name it. Unlike other gun games, though, Stalker will enable free movement so you won�t travel on rails or be stalled at static screens so that things can jump at you. In the preview version, using the PlayStation 2 controller was cumbersome yet manageable, but the GunCon 2 made for a more enjoyable experience. The hunt begins in September.
