In celebration of the upcoming September 15th release of Resident Evil 5 on the PC, Capcom and Intel are inviting you to an exclusive launch party this Saturday at Showbox in Seattle.

The first 250 people to come by the Resident Evil 5 PC area at the Capcom booth at PAX on Friday AND Saturday (that's 500 total) will get passes for Saturday night's event.

Hit the jump for full launch party details, including prizes and exclusive giveaways!

Some insider info on how Spyborgs came to be and the changes we made when we shifted direction part way through development.

Thanks to Nintendo World Report for taking the time to interview me!

I've been asked to pass along a memo that there will be a significant gathering for a Tricell corporate event being held in Seattle this Saturday. The exclusive event will be limited to 500 people. Details are forthcoming...

Capcom Unity member TriCEVEN was lucky enough to attend this past weekend's Fan Expo in Toronto, Canada and even got the chance to meet with Ono-san at the Udon/Capcom panel!

"I showed up at the line about 30 minutes early to make sure I got in. When it was time, I managed to get front row seats at the panel. It was really great and Ono-san is a really cool. He always had a smile on his face and he was really happy to see all the fans that came out. He made some funny jokes about things in the series and what not."

He also met several fans who were in full Capcom costumes, including Chun-Li up there. You can check out his full post on his blog, which includes more info and pictures, including his actual meeting with Ono-San (though the pics are a bit blurry).

Thanks for sharing, TriCEVEN!

Featuring the lovely ladies of SFIV (Sakura, Viper, Rose, Chun Li, and of course Cammy), the new sticks will make their first on-sale appearance this weekend at our booth at the Penny Arcade Expo.

For anyone that can't make it to PAX, there will also be a very limited stock available in the Capcom Store and at Mad Catz' online 'GameShark' store, starting on September 4th.

Our exclusive Comic-Con edition sticks sold out instantly every day we put them on sale, so if you want to pick up one of these collectibles, do it *quick*.

We're used to hearing about people's top 10 Capcom franchises and/or games and we actually never get tired of hearing what everyone has to say. What DOES surprise us is when a top ten list comes from a rather unexpected outlet. Sacramento's ABC News 10 has weighed in on their own top 10 Capcom franchises list, which you can find after the break. While we wholly approve of this list (props for including Ducktales!), it's only fair to turn right back around and include our top 10 ABC News 10 stories, which can also be found after the break.

Even the most die-hard Resident Evil fans have to admit that it can be a bit overwhelming to keep track of all the finer details of the Resident Evil franchise. Thankfully there are websites such as REhorror that understand this and post frequently about the various aspects of the RE universe. Their most recent post highlight's the BSAA, the organization that Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine founded after the Raccoon City incident. Check it out as preparation for the upcoming September 15th PC release of Resident Evil 5!
