Is this an adventure game??? I mean shouldn't it be at the Reviews zone???
Resistance is not futile, we're gonna win this thing, humankind is too good, we're not a bunch of under-achievers! We're gonna stand up, and we're gonna be human beings. We're going to get fired up about the real things, the things that matter! Creativity, and the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit.

| Deleted User | Why not? Everyone else is these days. :
BTW - they're actually, officially according to Capcom, "survival horror" games.

Status : Offline | Im a big R.E. Fan, have played all of them more than once, they are Survival/Horror, and to me also like an adventure, there are puzzles and sometimes riddles, there is alot of fighting ( killing Zombies and stuff ) I personally think they are GREAT games, if you dont mind some action, ( and theyre a little scary too) I say go for it, if your not sure you want to spend the money see if you can rent one of them first, I never thought I would like them and played R.E. 2
when my son bought it about 5 years ago, out of desperation to play a game I gave it a try and now Im Hooked, cant wait for the next one to be released this fall.

Send Randy an IM chad, i don't think he'll 'employ' you though (got the feeling he likes to keep his staff small to avoid low quality reviews).

Really great, one of the best.
I played all 3 on PS, but will not play the Cube one. Don't know why, but I guess I've seen all after 4 RE games.

Eternal Darkness was a better survival horror game overall, but that was because the action was handled better and the story was so clever. In terms of adventure puzzles the Resident Evil games are better.

I think that some of the new Resident evil games are defiantly worth playing. So Im thinking about trying a Resident Evil Zero review from an adventure gamer view point. although Im no writer :

Friday, yes we are looking for reviews of older games that are not in our database.
@Chad: Don't think RE0 counts as an old game.

Thank you
I wouldn't call it fun but it has a lot of reviews.
What? It's not fun? Gee whiz! id you read my review of RAMA?
Actually, I don't think there are that many game reviews relative to other sites. It was active for less than two years and I had to stop doing the site when I contracted with the Times - they don't want me writing about games for anyone else, even for my tiny Deskchair Adventure site!

Status : Online | bought RE0 yesterday, so far it`s great
only thing that`s a little irritating is that you have soooo little space in your inventory. 6 spaces, and a lot of weapons take 2+ammo. you`ll end up leaving things everywhere just to run back later to get it.
graphics and mood is top notch though. I`ve always loved RE
oh, and zelda:the windwaker has finally been released here so I`ll buy it tomorrow. think I`ll be switching between these two games for a while
