I’m not sure if I’ve actually touched on this in prior entries, but I can’t stand the zombie genre.\u00a0 I’ve always found movies and TV shows to be clich\u00e9, and video games are lumped into that category as well.\u00a0\u00a0I hear The Walking Dead<\/em> is not so much about zombies, as it is about the relationships of the people on the run from them, which I suppose would be interesting…\u00a0 but the idea of a slow-moving\u00a0living dead thing is not particularly interesting to me.<\/p>\n

Resident Evil<\/em> was a series my friend Abba would rant and rave about.\u00a0 It was\u00a0the\u00a0PlayStation’s killer app, or so I kept hearing…\u00a0 but zombies?\u00a0 No thanks.<\/p>\n

Now, Doom<\/em> was a game I enjoyed and\u00a0played a ton, and I’m currently playing through Doom 3: BFG Edition.<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0The argument could be made that that game has nothing but zombies for enemies.\u00a0 Well, maybe, but I consider them hell-spawned freaks, so it’s different.\u00a0 Technically.\u00a0 Right?<\/p>\n

Right.<\/p>\n

Resident Evil 4<\/em> was released for GameCube some time\u00a0in ’05 or so, and my good friend Jordan had nothing but great things to say about it.\u00a0 After giving him my monologue about my hatred for zombies, he insisted I should at least give it a shot.\u00a0 I\u00a0relented, and was definitely intrigued by what I played.<\/p>\n
