Review Resident Evil 6 (Switch) - Not As Nightmarish As You Remember
Global terror on a portable scale
Okay, here’s the thing… Resident Evil 6 isn’t that bad. Wait, hold on, just hear us out.

Poll Resident Evil 6 Turns 12 - Does It Really Deserve Its Dire Reputation?
Misunderstood, or just a mess?
Believe it or not, there was once a time when survival horror was well and truly on its arse.

Choo choo, zombie express
Soapbox features enable our individual writers and contributors to voice their opinions on hot topics and random stuff they've been chewing over.

Talking Point What's The Worst Game That You Still Love For Some Reason?
All your perfect imperfections
Today marks the 15th anniversary of NBA Live 08 on the Wii. Quite why there wasn't a national holiday and organised street parades for this excellent game is beyond us. Except, of course, it isn't excellent at all. The game was, for all intents and purposes, objectively bad, and yet there is a very large part of this...
About The Game
Blending action and survival horror, Resident Evil 6 is a dramatic horror experience that cannot be forgotten. The game spans various areas across the globe starring multiple playable characters, including fan favorites and new faces.
Jump into the fray either solo or up to 4-player co-op in 4 dramatic chapters of the campaign, or head into one of the extra modes such as Survivor - which pits up to 6-players head-to-head in a heated battle. This edition includes all DLC, along with two costumes per main character that were originally Residentevil.net exclusives, but are now unlockable through the game itself.
