News Netflix's Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness Is Actually Looking Surprisingly Good
Coming to the streaming service this July
We already knew Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, an animated series, is coming to Netflix, but we didn't expect it to look this good.

It can turn your heart into a Jill Sandwich
Some people find each Resident Evil title loses its way within the final hours, but not enough attention is given to those masterfully crafted opening moments.

Talking Point What's Your First Resident Evil Memory?
Celebrating the series' 25th anniversary
It’s hard to believe the original Resident Evil is 25 years old today. Who would have thought back then that the franchise would shift into what it’s become?

If there's enough support

Poll What Is Your Favourite Resident Evil Game On Xbox?
In honour of Resident Evil 3's release
The highly-anticipated Resident Evil 3 remake released earlier today (check out our review!), making it the twelfth title in the franchise to appear on an Xbox console so far. The vast majority of those games are available on Microsoft's current-gen system too, with many having been re-released over the years,...
Review Resident Evil 3 - A Disappointing Follow-Up To Last Year's Brilliant Resident Evil 2
Raccoon City Rancour
Perhaps it was somewhat foolish to expect that a Resident Evil 3 remake, no matter how radical, could manage to reach the heady heights of last year's sublime Resident Evil 2. With much weaker source material to work from – there ain't no Raccoon City Police Department here – this one was always likely to be an uphill...

Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode 4: Metamorphosis
Loose ends
Good or bad. This is what it all comes down to when discussing the fourth and final chapter of Resident Evil: Revelations 2. No, we aren’t simply talking about the quality of the episode — which remains as consistent as the previous ones — but rather the type of ending players will receive in the final act. Episode 4: Metamorphosis...
Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode 3: Judgment
The one with all the puzzles
Playing Resident Evil: Revelations 2 in its current episodic state really is like coming back to your favourite TV show each week. The quick recaps that preface each instalment do a good job highlighting all the important stuff, while at the same time, achieving a level of excitement for the next. Episode 3: Judgment...
Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode 2: Contemplation
Better than the first
Without a doubt, the second episode of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 knows how to up the ante. The story is more compelling, the action more exciting, and the enemies significantly more challenging. While Episode 1 was a solid opening chapter, it also felt predictable and played things a little too safe. Episode 2, however —...
Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode 1: Penal Colony
Prison break
The debut episode of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 won’t have you convinced the horror series is back on track, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun with it. Sure, it isn’t the prettiest game out there, and the voice acting — after all these years — can still be grating; but Revelations 2 succeeds in creating the...
REmake. REmastered. REmarkable
The Resident Evil name doesn't quite hold the same weight it once did. While Resident Evil 4 is widely accepted as the peak of the franchise, it also marked the beginning of a series that would continually struggle to find an identity in the years to follow. So perhaps Capcom's decision to remaster the GameCube remake...
