Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles Shot BlasterFew things in life are better than shooting zombies with a plastic gun. Unfortunately, most of the gun accessories for the Wii are pretty boring.

The Spider-Phone has a 2 Megapixel camera, a swivel color display, a microSD card slot and dual SIM card slots. It supports GSM 800/900/1800/1900 networks and is priced at HK$1180 (US$152). What are the odds that we’ll see a Goblin phone to accompany this?
