Think of the scariest movie you’ve ever seen, the type that stuck with you for days, if not months, tugging at the mental strings that control fear. Do you have one? Great. Now think about the protagonist of that particular movie and the type of gun or martial art they used to finally destroy the unimaginable entity(s) that stalked their every move. What’s that you say? They didn’t have one? They ran around screaming and hiding the whole time without ever [...]

However, should you be a Resident Evil purist, there’s quite a bit to be concerned about as well, especially when looking at the direction that Resident Evil 6 may be heading.
