    These criticisms are almost negligible though, and in the face of extras such as unlockable missions involving the sexy Ada, and a cast of death-dealing studs in "The Mercenaries" -- they are washed away by a deluge of positives. The highest compliment I can pay to the already highly lauded Resident Evil 4 is this: it makes all other games in its genre seem utterly pointless. Post-RE4, every sin committed by every Silent Hill installment, every wrong step taken by eve... Read more

    Early 2005, CAPCOM released The 4th installment of the greatest survival horror game of all time on the Nintendo Gamecube. The first three games gave players new gameplay that became popular very quickly. Although as most sequels go, and weren't even close to being as great as the first game was. Although I can say that CAPCOM has fixed all the bugs and have made a masterpiece. Now CAPCOM has released a version for the PS2 with new features, as well as new adve... Read more

    I hate to say it, but I don’t see how The Driver series fits into the current world of gaming. It’s gone from being an innovator to being just another one of the "me-too" titles that is chasing the success of Rockstar and Grand Theft Auto. Driv3r fails to meet the bar that’s been set by the best in the genre, and also fails to deliver a cohesive, quality play experience. I suspect the developers might have been better off constructing this as a pure racing title (as i... Read more

    The original Resident Evil has a special place in my heart, as being the first game to ever make me cack myself in terror. It wasn't the first survival horror game, or even the first decent one, but there was something about that spooky mansion that instilled a certain dread, even if the dialogue was so bad that it could have been written by Jade Goody, and the acting made the entire cast of Eastenders look like Oscar-winning thespians. Resident Evil 4 replaces the sc... Read more

    Forget everything you know about Resident Evil games. This latest version puts puzzles in the back seat, which is a good thing really. Its very much focused on action and gameplay wrapped up in a wicked story that will simply have you hooked. Game life, well it took me about 24 hours! But hey it is by far the best game I've ever played and you should check this out if your a Resi fan or just a fan in horror! Read more
