The Leon Kennedy Hits the Fan in Resident Evil 6
Resident Evil 6 is getting mixed reviews, and when I say “mixed reviews” I mean some people think its all right and some people loathe it to the core of their beings. It seems like the main problem is that the game isn’t scary, exciting, or even that interesting, and is more or less a mediocre Gears of War clone — which is pretty fucking harsh for what used to be one of gaming’s premier franchises. GameTrailers assembled this “death” montage video, which seems to be pretty indicative of the problem — if these are the game’s best deaths, then eesh. Except for the last one. That’s a different kind of eesh.
