Resident Evil 2: DualShock Version (PS1)
(Review archived from October 29, 2018) Part of what I enjoyed the about the first Resident Evil game was how well it was able to fulfill its cinematic aspirations and the degree to which it was an homage to its influences in horror cinema. Particularly in the first half of the game, it really has…
