Racoon City…a place that all gamers should be familiar with considering it is the home of Resident Evil games, a series that has graced the PSONE, Sega Saturn, N64, Dreamcast, PC, PS2, and now finally the Nintendo GameCube. For those who are unfamiliar with Resident Evil, where have you been? This is arguably the best series on any console, and the best game was without a doubt the original. Now however there is going to be a Resident Evil, even bigger, and even better than the Resident Evil we knew in 1996 for Capcom have decided to revisit the old classic that is Resident Evil, re-vamp it and make it all over again with more areas, zombies with higher artificial .  Read the complete review

Finally after several months of waiting, Sony have enabled PSone classics to be playable on the Playstation Vita - a function I assumed would be available from launch and was bitterly disappointed to find out it was 'in progress'. Having owned several of the PSone classic games on my Playstation 3, I was eager to try out some of them in portable form - the perfect remedy to those early morning train journeys into work. My first choice for this honour was Resident Evil - Directors cut (available on the Playstation Store at the fairly reasonable price of £3.99). I had played the original years ago when it was released in 1998 and always found it the scariest of ...  Read the complete review

Resident Evil was released just before the original Tomb Raider came out and I wasn't disappointed and still am not when I play this first 3-D adventure game. For me it is the best of all the resident Evil games that have been released over the years. It is smooth, violent and very scary.

It's sister team is called in to investigate and after being attacked by strange creatures have to run for cover in an old mansion. So the scene is set for the gameplay that will ...  Read the complete review

I now come to review something very close to my heart. Being a huge zombie movie fan, I had always thought back in the day, how much I would love to have a zombie game along the lines of Night of the Living Dead. Trapped in some remote location, short on ammo, stalked by zombies, oh when would theday finally come!?? I guess if you weren't part of the original psx generation, or you got into gaming a little later, you may not fully understand the impact that games like Final Fantasy VII, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Silent Hill etc. had upon ther original release. I will try and paint a little picture for you though, so bare with me. Things are ...  Read the complete review

As we look upon the recently-released Resident Evil 5, one considers the origins of the great series, beginning with Capcom's audacious inception of the series in 1996 with Resident Evil. Given the choice of playing as either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, players, as part of special team S.T.A.R.S., had to weave their way through a dangerous mansion, full of unknown dangers scattered throughout like a Haunted House from Hell. Hence the term "survival horror" was born: players had to evade undead creatures, biologically engineered nasties, and many more grotesqueries. What differentiates Resident Evil from the horror titles that preceded it is the ...  Read the complete review
