Resident Evil 6 Review

We’re stuck in a cabin, somewhere in Eastern Europe; a blizzard causes the wooden shack to creek and ache. The fireplace roars and offers momentary comfort from the constant reminder of isolation. A bookcase blocks the only door with a few cabinets and one of the two tables blocking the ridiculous amount of windows for such a small confinement.

She’s telling me something about the G-Virus and again, how I’m their only hope. I’m struggling to take everything in. We’ve barely survived a gun battle back in the city, where thirty foot giants rampaged through a small district and killed, five, maybe six men

Then to top it all off, the big guy, yes, that big guy, has chased us for the past day, going as far to hitch a ride and, subsequently crash several planes, killing anyone stupid or slow enough to stand in his way.

But still, the momentary pause is needed; it’s the first time in hours we’ve been able to take a breather, although deep down, we know it can’t last.

And it doesn’t.

Top Ten Horrifying/Disgusting/WTF Moments in Resident Evil

2012 is a big year for gaming. Each week there’s something new to behold, a story about the next big thing, hints of the direction huge series’ will take in their steady evolution, how the big three console developers plan to one-up each other and claim victory in this crazy little thing called the “console wars”

One of 2012’s biggest releases Reece and I will be looking out for is Resident Evil 6. The long running survival/action-horror series had its humble beginnings as a shoddy Playstation title with player controlled characters that moved like tanks against mindless, shambling, grotesque zombies and worse in a haunted, claustrophobic mansion.

But since its humble beginnings; Resident Evil has mutated into one of the biggest franchises in gaming. Expanding it’s horizons with tighter gameplay, a less cheesier story and some absolutely horrifying moments, Resident Evil holds in it’s decaying hands a legacy that spans just under two decades of critical adulation and a cult following which can’t get enough of stopping Bio-Weapons from taking over the world.

With the eighth title on the horizon as a potential Game of the Year, this is Retcon-Nation’s top ten, most horrifying, disgusting and complete WTF moments in the main series, from Zero to Five (excluding Revelations as neither of us have played it yet).
