  • Take a Look Back in Hunger with the Resident Evil Retrospective

    With the much-anticipated Resident Evil 5 about to hit store shelves in a month, I'm sure we're all going a little survival horror crazy; hell, I had to stop myself from replaying RE4 for a third time through careful consideration of all of the crap I own that I still have yet to finish. Instead, I've decided to cut out the middle-man and turn my attention to the significantly less time-wastey Gametrailers Resident Evil Retrospective. Like all of Gametrailers' retrospective pieces, the series promises to be a pretty comprehensive piece of work--and it even covers the pre-RE roots of survival horror, though they could have devoted a lot more time into that section. So far, one out of six episodes has been released; the only thing that worries me at this point is how increasingly convoluted the franchise's timeline gets by Code Veronica. The only way to explain anything at that point in the story would have to involve Back to the Future's Doc Brown and several hundred chalkboards.

    We'll see how well they do.

  • Resident Evil Arguments that Need to Die

    With the recent release of the Resident Evil 5 demo, I've been subjected to something far more stomach-turning than hordes of the undead running amok in an African village. Of course, I speak of the Resident Evil fanboyism I assumed had ended long after the release of Resident Evil 4; you see, with the newest RE being made in the model of the series' previous game, purists are still upset that many of the things they've come to cherish about Resident Evil have been left to rot nearly 5 years ago. If you're a sane and functioning member of society, then you've probably realized that the Resident Evil 4 renovation was the best possible thing to happen to the series--and I commend you for your common sense. However, it's entirely possible that the drastic shift in the franchise still burns the living hell out of your beans; if this is the case, I bear you no personal grudge. I simply wish to ridicule your wrong opinions out of existence.

    And now, friends, I present the Resident Evil arguments that need to die.

Bob Mackey is a grad student, writer, and cyborg, who uses the powerful girl-repelling nanomachines mad science grafted onto his body to allocate time towards interests of the nerd persuasion. He believes that complaining about things on the Internet is akin to the fine art of wine tasting, but with more spitting into buckets.

Joe Keiser has a programming degree from Johns Hopkins University, a tiny apartment in Brooklyn, and a fake toy guitar built in the hollowed-out shell of a real guitar. He writes about games and technology for a variety of outlets. One day he will stop doing this.

Peter Smith is like the lead character of Irwin Shaw's The 80-Yard Run, except less athletic. He considers himself very lucky to have this job.

He calls them a 'power pop' band, but they generally sound more like Motorhead on a drinking binge.
