This trailer for Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection shows just how fun it is to let loose and dance. It's also a warning that busting moves instead of skulls won't help you survive the zombie apocalypse.
Charge up your PlayStation Move - that's the one with the glowing ball on the end, remember? - and get ready for a trip down Memory-within-a-Memory Lane. Resident Evil Chronicles HD arrives on PS3 today, an upgraded port of two games that were already about revisiting classic Resident Evil locations and scenes.
Each game will be available for $14.99, or you can get a two-pack for $26.99.

On June 26, Resident Evil: Chronicles HD launches on the PlayStation 3's PlayStation Network for $26.99, targeting those of us who own a PlayStation Move/PlayStation 3, are way into rail shooters, and didn't play the original versions of the Chronicles' games on Wii. That's a ridiculously specific group of people if you ask us.
Should you have played one of the two games that the collection comprises - The Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chronicles - each game will be individually released for $14.99 a few weeks later on July 17.
Is it just us, or is that one zombie smiling for the camera? If you ignore the hellish glowing eyes and the rotting flesh, you'd think he was just chilling at a friend's birthday party. Maybe he's just happy his game is in HD now.
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles, the two Wii rail-shooter retellings of Resident Evil events, will be re-released for PS3 this June in North America and Europe. It's being released as a single collection at first, called the Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection. but you'll have the option to buy separately later.
The PSN-only release will come with optional Move compatibility, allowing the same point-and-shoot gameplay found in the Wii games -- but, like, in HD, with trophies this time. In any case, there is a bit of new Resident Evil storyline in these two games, so good luck making sense of the whole series if you haven't played it. Really, good luck making sense of it even if you have.
Late last October, we reported that PS3 would be getting an exclusive Resident Evil HD collection. Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection would be a compilation featuring two previously Wii-centric on-rails light gun shooters, Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chronicles...
