Resident Evil 4 review (PlayStation 2)

In RE4, you are armed to the teeth, but your enemies’ insistence, their thirst for your pain, and their sheer numbers create more compelling and dire circumstances than a few zombies or “nurses” after an unfortunate pipe-bearing player ever could.

Resident Evil 4 review (PC) HG exclusive

Resident Evil 4 might be a carefully balanced, ingeniously designed and admirably self-assured game, but on the PC it's a woeful, miserable, inconceivable mess of code. It's very possibly, depending on your mindset, nestled within the highest echelon of videogame design - but…

Resident Evil 4 review Review of the Week HG exclusive

OK, so maybe Leon Scott didn’t get the warmest of welcomes when he uninvitingly waltzed into some cantankerous Spaniard’s house. You’d shoot any guy angry enough to charge at you with an axe, too. After all, Leon had only asked the man a seemingly innocent question on whether or…

Resident Evil 4 review

It has been a few years since the last Resident Evil game was released. Capcom had reportedly sold the franchise's rights exclusively to Nintendo (but that went out the window when RE4 mysteriously appeared on the PS2 a year or so after its GCN release), and the latest Resident…

Resident Evil 4 review

My first day at work consisted of washing countertops and cleaning dishes. Rookie cop Leon Kennedy wasn't so on the safe side. He arrived on the job expected to be berated for tardiness by his superior officer, but ended up battling his way through hordes of mindless zombies in…

Resident Evil 4 You're agent Leon Kennedy. Being thrown into a deranged town inhabited by zombie-esque denizens, you're asked to rescue the president's daughter, Ashley. You must do whatever it takes to cross this seemingly impossible hurdle, crushing any and all foes in your…

Resident Evil 4 review

Ok, can I just say one thing? Wow. Just... Wow. This game is a lot better than I thought it was going to be, to be completely honest. I mean, there were so many people talking about how this game was going to be so different from the other ones, that it would completely change…

Resident Evil 4 review

Maybe things would’ve been better if he stayed home. After his first day on the force, our greenhorn S.T.A.R.S member Leon was thrown into a situation most men would rather be killed than be put in. Watching as decomposed corpses began to rise slowly and emerge from the…
