Resident Evil 4

     Have you played Resident Evil 4? The fourth entry into this classic survival-horror series is a masterpiece. Coming out back in 2004, originally for the Nintendo Gamecube, Resident Evil 4 took fans by storm.
   
     Switching from the original fixed-camera style where players saw themselves from different angles in each room, this one opted for a behind-the-shoulder view that followed the player. This innovation led to a faster-paced, more action oriented play style that definitely delivered a much more thrilling game.
   
     Another improvement over the originals is the storytelling. Guided through the narrative with cutscenes that deliver the story with much improved voice acting, Resident Evil 4 serves up a much more detailed and cohesive story than its predecessors.

     Despite leaving the previous games behind in pacing and storytelling, Resident Evil 4 still instills horror in the player, whether that be the violent villagers screaming death threats at you in Spanish or the very creepy Regenerators struggling to breathe as they slowly approach you, unimpeded by the hailstorm of bullets you attempt to stop them with. Coupling the old-school horror and suspense with modern action and surprisingly good graphics and sound design that still stand up today.

     Resident Evil 4 provides players with some of the best the Resident Evil series has ever offered. In fact, if you haven't already, I strongly recommend you pick up this game. It was ported to PS2, Wii, and PC and has been rereleased in HD on PS3, PS4, X-Box 360, and X-Box One. So what are you waiting for? Go get it!
