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

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.

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.

Episode 4: Metamorphosis...

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...
