Having completed every Resident Evil game thus far, I am obligated to see any movie that is tied into the franchise. As you can imagine, this leads to some major disappointments. I enjoyed the first film, loathed the second, and I personally thought the third was the best so far. This gave me high hopes for Resident Evil: Afterlife, but I was definitely hesitant as the trailers leading up to release had the film looking much more like the matrix than any Resident Evil game. Sadly I was severely let down. I expected this movie to suck, but wow, it is absolutely one of the worst films I have ever seen. Paul W.S. Anderson has been more miss than hit, but there are a few of his films that I really enjoy. For example the first Mortal Kombat is just fun as hell, Event Horizon has inspired multiple other films and games such as Dead Space, and I think Dead or Alive is the best game to movie adaptation in existence. I think he was a little over excited about trying his hand at 3D, and it ...

Resident Evil 4 was perhaps the most awaited portion of the Resident Evil franchise. It expanded upon the concepts that were introduced in its predecessors, while weaving in plot and content from other spin-off games. However, for such a monumental work, Resident Evil 4 is known for being the longest (so far) in terms of development. It was started in 1999, and went through a total of 4 iterations, before its release in 2005. The Series picks up with Leon Kennedy (one of the survivors of the Racoon City Incident, and one of the primary protagonists in Resident Evil 2), who is now a member of the US Secret Service. Leon is assigned, upon taking the job, the not-so-enviable task of recovering the Daughter of the President, who has gone missing. Leon ends up in Spain, where he uncovers "Los Plagas", a viral disease that is turning the inhabitants of a small remote agricultural town into slaves to some unknown will. They seek to kill him, and prevent him from recovering ...

Resident Evil 3 is one of the lesser known installments of the Popular Resident Evil video game franchise. Set in the same time frame and setting as Resident Evil 2, it contains some great continuity fillers, and helps flesh out the Resident Evil Universe. The game itself stars Jill Valentine, one of the two protagonists from the first Resident Evil Game. However, unlike previous games in the series, the player only has the option of Jill as a protagonist, and the whole story centers around Jill during the Raccoon City Outbreak. In the game, Jill is attempting to escape the infested remains of Raccoon City in the midst of the outbreak of the T Virus. The T Virus was manufactured by a multi-national pharmaceutical conglomerate, Umbrella, for the purpose of creating bio-weapons. It was accidentally/purposefully released upon the unwitting inhabitants of Raccoon City, in order to cover up their research in the nearby Arklay Mountains facility. As Jill travels through the game...

Resident Evil 2 was the successor and sequel to the popular and successful Resident Evil 1 Video Game. Like its forebear, it is a Survival Horror game, that focuses on puzzle solving, limited saves, and ammunition conservation. This all adds together to create an immersive horror experience in a city overrun with the 'undead'. In the Game, you take on the role of either Rookie Police Officer Leon S. Kennedy or Claire Redfield (sister to the first game's protagonist, Chris). After a deadly outbreak of the T-Virus (a Bio-Weapon developed by a pharmaceutical conglomerate called Umbrella) transforms Raccoon City into Zombies, the characters must seek out the police station, in the hopes of finding Chris Redfield. However, they discover that he has left for Europe, to find Umbrella's Headquarters. After this, the Characters attempt to flee the city, only to discover, through happen-stance, a maniacal plot, in the midst of this civil emergency, to create the ultimate...
