Matt is PO’d again, and the house of Mega Man is in his sights.

If there was one video game company during the NES era that seemed to almost one-up Nintendo in terms of quality games, it was Capcom. Whether it was releasing games starring the blue bomber himself or making great licensed Disney games, they could do no wrong. They continued this with the SNES, the Playstation 1, the Gamecube, the DS – and people loved them.

This latest entry in the series hopes to bring back elements from its roots.

Resident Evil Revelations is shaping up to be on of the prime reasons to own a Nintendo 3DS. Utilizing the gameplay made popular by Resident Evil 4 along with a few old school elements, the game seems to take the best of what the series has to offer and put it into one small package. The result so far, is pretty much that.

Kathrine: Getting back to difficulty, I thought the fact that enemies didn't drop health pickups totally changed how I played. It makes not getting hit a lot more important. Something previous games lacked.

What does a "retro" gamer think of this year's technology-infused, franchise-blasted E3?

Hi everyone! Although I didn't attend E3, mostly due to having little interest in modern gaming outside of Wii, I still managed to watch bits of the press conferences and catch some pieces of news. There wasn't much shown to change my personal opinion, but there was still some excitement. Since I haven't been posting my usual Nintendo 64 entries during the week, I figured I'd offer up my impression of E3. I realize this is a bit late, but I'm a retro gamer. Since when am I timely?

The second downloadable episode of Resident Evil 5 proves to be far more action-driven and enjoyable.

The second piece of DLC comprising Capcom's Gold Edition of Resident Evil 5, Desperate Escape, features Jill Valentine and Josh Stone. The episode fits into the main story just as Lost in Nightmares did, but is a bit more interwoven. Players start off directly after Jill is saved in the mainline quest, and Chris and Sheva depart. Josh finds Jill, and the two proceed to escape the compound in which they are trapped. This escape makes for a decently fun play experience that is much heavier on the action than its DLC predecessor.

A return to the series' roots, or a short distraction?

The first of the upcoming DLC packs for Resident Evil 5 is Lost in Nightmares; a short episode starring Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. The duo find themselves in a mansion eerily similar to the one found in their very first adventure over a decade ago.
