Opinion piece: Lost in Nightmares
Lost in Nightmares was the first story-related Resident Evil 5 DLC. Capcom aimed to create a nostalgic return to the mansion of the original Resident Evil, and I truly believe they've succeeded.

From the very start, we see a classic partnership -- Chris and Jill, characters we all know and appreciate. And even though Capcom is no expert with dialogue, it would almost seem that these two have some sort of chemistry that doesn't expose the poor voice acting found elsewhere in RE5.
The atmosphere is good. It's dark, both in terms of mood as well as actual brightness. This is especially true once the lower levels of the estate are reached. The music also greatly helps the horror atmosphere.
The survival aspect of …
Opinion piece: Resident Evil 5
The release of Resident Evil 5 was when many of the (self-proclaimed) "stalwart" fans began to abandon or hate on (or both) the series. Capcom did make a more action-heavy and admittedly less scary game. However, RE5 did usher in a new generation of fans who appreciated more action while remaining more-or-less in the survival horror genre. Being the first Resident Evil game I've played, I can say for sure that I was one of them (although I did wish it was more scary). 00:08, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

Resident Evil 5 has good, varied game-play. The enemies are always changing up, the bosses were fun to battle (some of which were quite challenging), and the melee combat is excellent.
Every boss had a strategy that…
Opinion piece: Resident Evil 4
Many have hailed Resident Evil 4 as being the paradigm of survival horror. I find myself in agreement. From beginning to end, the game is captivating and solidly balances action and horror. So without further ado, let's get into it. 22:19, January 4, 2014 (UTC)

From the start, it is quite evident that Capcom has made some great choices. Firstly, our player character for most of the game, Leon S. Kennedy, is a familiar face from Resident Evil 2; he's somebody we've gotten to know already. He furthermore spends most of the game by himself, receiving no combat assistance. When united with Ashley, the need to protect her from harm adds more flavour to the game-play. Although in-game partners are not inherentl…
