Silly Gaming Habits

A lot of articles recently have been created with Resident Evil 5 as the inspiration and this one is yet another one to add to that list.

Jeff and I have just played through Resident Evil 5 in co-op mode on the Veteran difficulty. It was our first run through of the game and we did pretty damn well since we didn’t know what to expect… during our play through, I did notice a very funny and very silly habit that Jeff has…

Game Spotlight: Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition

I’m about to have a huge epic co-op game of Resident Evil 5 with Jeff in about an hour so I thought this would be a good time to talk about my favourite Resident Evil game and how, even in its ported form on Wii, it still manages to impress after all these years.

Some interesting things have been going on in recent months on the Wii. While Nintendo hasn’t been doing very much of anything other than a Wii version of Animal Crossing, Sega has taken the opportunity to invest in a whole bunch of interesting games, three of which are focused very much on the more traditionalist core gamer. Sega is out to impress, Nintendo is worryingly quiet and Capcom… well, Capcom is confusing the hell out of me with whatever it is they think they’re doing on Wii.
