The virus is spreading and Japan is about to be overrun by zombies...in a manner of speaking. The newly-launched Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Xbox 360) took the Japanese gaming scene by storm from March 2nd to the 8th. Figures inside.

Eskema is back! From the homebrew dev that brought you Biohazard2 PSP (aka "the homebrew game that looks like Zombies Ate My Neighbors") comes another shooter: Comando Suicida 2.

Can't wait for Capcom's Resident Evil 5 to hit the Sony PlayStation 3? Why not relive the classic Biohazard 2 on your PSP while you wait-well, if you're a customer of the Japanese Playstation PC Store.

Capcom's classic Biohazard 2 is now available for sale on the PSN PC store, and it's not the only newly uploaded title on the roster, either.

Find out what the other new titles are after the jump!

 

The big difference between the latest Famitsu most wanted and the last one? Well, that's just it, except for Super Mario Galaxy breaking into the top 20 and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings leaving the charts, the big names that were there are still, well, there. Check out the charts:

1. (1 / 1) Dragon Quest IX - Square Enix (2.846)
2. (2 / 2) Final Fantasy XIII - Square Enix (2.758)
3. (3 / 3) Biohazard 5 - Capcom (1.916)
4. (4 / 5) Metal Gear Solid 4 - Konami (1.496)
5. (8 / 7) Odin Sphere - Atlus (1.166)
6. (5 / 6) Monster Hunter 3 - Capcom (1.164)
7. (6 / 9) Zelda no Densetsu: Phantom Hourglass - Nintendo (1.104)
8. (7 /10) Super Robot Taisen: Original Generations - Banpresto (1.036)
9. (14/15) Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Nintendo (862)
10. (16/16) Shining Wind - Sega (859)
11. (10/11) Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors - Square Enix (844)
12. (9 /14) Everybody's Golf 5 - Sony (834)
13. (11/ 8) Devil May Cry 4 - Capcom (769)
14. (12/12) Lost Odyssey - Microsoft (744)
15. (17/20) Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War - Square Enix (702)
16. (19/17) Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core - Square Enix (650)
17. (15/19) Doubutsu no Mori [Animal Crossing] - Nintendo (615)
18. (18/18) Final Fantasy Versus XIII - Square Enix (590)
19. (21/21) Super Mario Galaxy - Nintendo (576)
20. (20/23) Gran Turismo 5 - Sony (511)

As for Revenant Wings not being there anymore, we think that has something to do with the fact that the game's already on retail, thus transforming the people who wanted it into the people who have it.

Given that Lost Odyssey's already 70 percent done, it'll probably be leaving the charts as well. Devil May Cry 4 - a multi-platform game - is hardly a representative title for the Xbox 360 in Japan. To be fair, the rest of the world will probably be getting the Xbox 360 version but in Japan? ...Well miracles do happen. This blogger might just be forced to eat his words.

We have updated you before on a homebrew game called Biohazard PSP developed by Eskema. It's a beta version of a 2D adventure game based on the Biohazard/Resident Evil series. Apparently, Eskema is not the only one inspired by the Resident Evil series.

CtrlAltDeleteDie is working on a text adventure/RPG/action shooter/button masher game for PSP also called Biohazard PSP. Based on the style of Resident Evil (a.k.a. Biohazard), CtrlAltDeleteDie's Biohazard PSP will be a text RPG game bearing a battle system with multiple enemies and a real-time fighting system. Just like any other RPG, players will get to choose weapons and items to fight zombies and other monsters. For now, it's still a work-in-progress but CtrlAltDeleteDie hopes to include an actual RPG system, and not a text system, in the future. By the way, it is being programmed in LUA.

While waiting for the game to be released, CtrlAltDeleteDie has generously provided three combat test screens for your viewing pleasure:

Eskema from our forums has just released a new homebrew game, Biohazard. It's a 2D adventure game based on the  Biohazard/Resident Evil series. And although the game is still in beta, there shouldn't be any major things to worry about. I've tried the game out and it's fun.

There is one small complaint though. The control response is a little slow. He has promised to fix it in the upcoming versions. He's planning to update it by next week. Lets hope he's up to the task. Anyways, a couple of screenshots:

  

He has released a 1.5 version only. Pester him a little in our forums to make him release one for 2.XX firmware.
