Evil is fading, now its time to get corrupted!

I would be lying if I said that I picked up a Nintendo Wii just for the Resident Evil games. I had strong faith that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption would be one of the first games to fully utilize the Wii controller based on the information that I had read about it around when the Wii was announced. Well, I just picked up Metroid Prime 3 yesterday and it is fantastic so far! My right wrist is actually sore at the moment from a boss fight so I decided to take a break for a while and type out a blog entry.

I'll have a full review up in a few days once I get finished - and I have plenty to say so far. :)

Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition guide

You would think with the lack of posts on this blog that I have been avoiding games or something. Heh, far from it actually. Whenever I write a guide for a game, I tend to run that game into the ground - trying boss fights over and over, trying different strategies for a particularly hard part, multiple playthroughs with multiple saves at key points, stuff like that. It's strange how one portion of a game that usually takes a player 5 minutes to complete will take me about 30 minutes or longer, well with the way I go about writing a guide - everything must be confirmed andall details will be showcased.

Anyway, long story short, I posted up my new guide for Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition on the gaming sites a few days ago. The game doesn't really need another walkthrough but I figured one more along with the other 15+ guides on GameFAQs wouldn't hurt. I have been tossing around the idea of writing a guide for RE4 quite a while now and finally decided to go ahead and see it through now that the Wii version is out. I must say, the surge of RE5 info got the best of me - yeah, I blame it mainly on that.

I've recently been playing through the RE games in order. It's been about 3 years since I have last played through all of them so the experience felt a little new once again. The only thing I regret is having played through Resident Evil 2 so much back in the day. I have really overplayed that game and it still shows just a bit - it just doesn't amuse me near as much as the others. Resident Evil 3 and Code Veronica are still my cup of tea. RE3 has such a good amount of action with the constant Nemesis pursuing and Code Veronica still holds up well with its graphics and story even now. REmake still has that atmosphere down pat as well, I'd like to add!

Anyway, with that said, maybe now I can move on to other games and let the Resident Evil series rest for a while. I wonder? With the Tokyo Game Show (TGS) coming up soon, I might get obsessed once again.
