Joystiq has posted the second to latest Halo 3 Believe ad. The latest ad, entitled ‘The Hunted’ is good but nowhere near as moving as this particular ad.

Joystiq is posting that an author on AlterNet.org calls Resident Evil a ‘Racist video game series’ and that players who begin one of the games ‘will likely enter a world little-known beyond the expensive and expansive universe of gaming, a world increasingly populated with very dangerous depictions of nonwhites’. The author only covers RE4 and RE5 in declaring the series racist. For RE4 he says its Spaniards have ‘stereotypical Mexican accents’ and that RE5 ‘could be a training video for a white supremacist race war or another U.S. military adventure in one of the increasing numbers of deserts on the planet.’
