Capcom have opened a helpline for Europeans scared by Resident Evil Zero.

If you call 08700 46 55 20, gamers will be given reassurance by listening to a 2-minute message recorded by a proffessional psychologist.

Resident Evil 0 is being released today for players aged 15 and over.

Ben Le Rougetel of Capcom spoke about the hotline, "It's our duty to look after our consumers properly. Resident Evil Zero is a ridiculously scary game. We want players to know help is at hand if they become too frightened. The phone line's message is simple: it's important to realise that this is just a game. Fear is all the mind, and that's what we want our players to remember." The charges for calling the hotline are the same as normal national rates.

So if you get scared....reassurance is only a phone call away.
