The boat of 'Residing Evil'...

So, I got Resident Evil: Revelations on Friday.
And I completed Resident Evil: Revelations on Sunday...

MY GOD! It's a good game!

I'm not going to spoil anything for you, but it's so good. The storyline, which is a terrorist thriller is really well-thought out, with enough twists and turns to make Yawn proud!

The game's atmosphere is reministant of the original game; going into a horrific environment with only a pistol and a few rounds of extra ammo... and ammo, herbs and escape routes are just scarse enough to make the game feel like you need every bullet, every herb, every quick-dodge... It also does away with the quick-time events all together, but does use a few "defend-the-area"-style set pieces. Some are more successful than others, and the game never just springs it up on you (whenever you come up to a room where this happens, it always seems to have quite a lot of ammo/grenades/herbs), but it can be quite a Hellish nightmare to try and defend yourself in a small corner with all manner of enemies jumping (or oozing) out from everywhere.

There's also something interesting with how the game plays with time; there are twelve "episodes" in the game, each episode divided into two parts, and one of these two parts is usually set in a different area, with different enemies, and don't feature the usual team of Jill&Parker.
Which leads me to one interesting point; there are four player characters! FOUR!!!

The monsters are really good, too! It's kinda like RE4 & 5, where the mooks, here called 'Oozes', have a few different mutations and attacks, and there are the oft-used dog mutations. (Well, not dogs, wolves!) You've also got a returning creature; the Hunter. Oh God, the Hunter. Which aren't so bad, when you can see them...

As a survival horror, it's really good; as a Resident Evil game, it's really, really good! It also helped whet my apetite for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City...

Just somethings I'd like to share

Popping in to inform you about two (totally different) blogs;

Dan Dare Never Flew a Macross which is the blog of my best friend; he's an amatuer author, an amatuer comic artist and a very serious gamer. It's got a link to his deviantART (where he's always on the look-out for new art trades and collaborations), and he updates it with information on his projects regularly. It's also the home of the "dramatisations" of our little Dungeons & Dragons sessions, where he's irreverent to all DMs, even himself!

TREND Magazine is the magazine-style blog headed by another friend of mine. It's a excellent, cutting-edge blog, all about fashion. It talks about vintage styles, designers, people of note in the fashion (for both setting the mainstream, and going against it), and features predictions on future trends and styles.

Please give these blogs some love!
