Resident Evil 5 -1

Throwback Bit Thursday: Resident Evil 5

Posted on March 10, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

To be honest, Resident Evil 5 had tough shoes to fill. Resident Evil 4 was seen as a watershed moment for the series, and its unprecedented critical and commercial success paved the way for the massive wave of hype surrounding the franchise’s 5th entry.   Resident Evil 4 shook the very foundations of the 3rd…

Shinji Mikami: Resident Evil 4 Remake Can “Make the Story Better”

Posted on February 6, 2022February 8, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

In my honest opinion, before the modern remakes (Resident Evil 2: Remake is excellent), the Resident Evil series has had two big high points amongst some great titles, and other more pedestrian ones. The high points? Resident Evil 2 (PS1) and Resident Evil 4 (GC).   In terms of modern relevance, RE4 has been the most…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Resident Evil 2

Posted on February 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

In many gaming circles, 1998 is considered the best year for video games in history.

Throwback Bit Thursday: Resident Evil: Code Veronica (DC)

Posted on June 18, 2020January 8, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

A failed attempt of developing a Resident Evil 2 port for the Sega Saturn ended up in the development of Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Code Veronica chronologically speaking was the true sequel to Resident Evil 2, even if Resident Evil 3: Nemesis ended up being the numbered successor to the PlayStation survival horror hit. While…

Resident Evil 4 (GC) Review

Posted on February 10, 2019April 25, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

I was never a big fan of the Resident Evil games, I did finish Resident Evil 2 and RE: Code veronica, but even then, while I still consider RE: 2 a classic, the games were far from flawless. Graphically, the games always did the trick; I will never forget how awesome Code Veronica first looked…
