Game of the Year?...

Well, initial testing is now over and I'm sick. That's right, sick. I don't know if there's a correlation or anything but I was hit by three days of migraines after playing this game. Meh, whatever.

What we really want to talk about is the game itself. Resident Evil 4 best game of the year? I don't think so. Yeah, it's great and all, but when I stack it up to my favourites on the GC it doesn't come out on top. Close, but not at the top. It just didn't pull me in like some of the games that I played. I mean, it's creepy, beautiful and everything but it just doesn't have that x-factor. Still, it is THE best Resident evil game so far. Period.

They finally got rid of the clunky camera angles and the muggy control system. Which is a big deal since I abhorred running into walls when I needed to run AWAY from zombies.

The creepy factor went down a bit... or maybe it's just me. I mean, after playing games like Fatal Frame and other such games it's not as scary when you have a gun that can fell enemies in a shot. Or at least that was what I was thinking until the whole VILLAGE of not-quite-zombies came at me with their pitchforks and whatnot. I screamed like a little girl.

Anyway, all in all it's a great game. It's just not one of those "can't put it down for a while" kind of games....

Rumoku out!
