Resident Evil

In My Zombie Killing Hands

What’s this, a new blog post at buttonmashing dot com? It’s true, we are still around, still gaming and most importantly, still Resident Eviling.

Released earlier this year, RE3 reviewed a little less favorably than last year’s REmake, RE2. I thoroughly enjoyed RE2, it was one of the first games that I completed during 2019’s “Year of Completing Games”, so I was quite excited to jump into RE3 and then quite dismayed at the initial reviews. Most reviews said it was still a good game just not as good as RE2, so I cooled my heels until it went on sale. Which it did this weekend, so here we are.

With the game. In my hands. Time to dive in!

In My Digital Hands

I didn’t get in on the ground floor with the Resident Evil series. My first foray into the series was the RE remake on the Gamecube but I never finished it. When Resident Evil 4 hit, however, I was instantly hooked and RE4 kinda became “my thing” around these parts. I have played through RE4 more times than I can remember on more than one system. The Mercenaries (in RE4) is easily the greatest minigame ever and I will snap your neck H.U.N.K.-style if you say otherwise.

I ran through Resident Evil 5 co-op with my bro-in-law. That was a fine game and all but it didn’t capture the RE4 magic. I skipped Resident Evil 6 altogether (although it’s patiently waiting in my Steam Library for whenever I feel like loading it up). Early buzz has been positive for Resident Evil 7. I am ready.

I am also going to try my hand at this streaming thing. Nick (aka Subotonic on Twitch) has had the Twitch game going for a little while now, but it’s my turn to give it a go. I’ll be doing some late-night RE7 streaming, starting tonight hopefully. If you want to follow along with my antics, throw me a follow on Twitch and turn notifications on. Then tune in and watch me get skurred from all the scary bad guys!
