  • Zombies. Shooting Zombies. The return of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield. Zombies.
  • Annoying shaky-cam. Extensive reuse of old storylines.
  • Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles is highly derivative of previous RE titles, and playability is hampered by an annoyingly shaky camera, but it's still a reasonably fun mission to clean up the latest Umbrella Corp mess (and shoot up a mess of zombies...

  • Abstract:  The Resident Evil franchise is one of my favorites of all time. After playing through this year’s stellar Resident Evil 5, I was reminded just how much I loved the series. Once I heard that the sequel to the Wii shooter Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chro...

  • Abstract:  Despite existing in a gaming market that has largely abandoned the on-rails shooter, 2007's Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles clearly amassed enough positive feedback (and dollars) for Capcom to offer up Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Bui...
