The Resident Evil franchise has become one of video games most notable. Popularized by its innovation in introducing the world to the survival horror genre of video games, Capcom has created a solid following and an extremely fun, in depth, and frankly scary universe to immerse yourself in. Resident Evil 4 revolutionized the franchise when we were brought to the over the shoulder view of Leon's predominately Spanish adventure, and it definitely had the most revolutionary gameplay implementations the game had seen until that point. 5 did not...it was far from a bad game, but it basically just built on what 4 wanted to establish...not a bad way to go about doing things I guess, but they were slowly removing the survival horror aspect from our game and throwing us into a sort of Chris vs. Wesker action title. Still, we are not here to talk about whether or not I think RE5 held true to the Resident Evil roots, we are here to talk about RE6, and man is there quite a bit to talk about.
Borderlands 2 has been an epically fun adventure to dive into. Any fan of the first knows the Borderlands title to mean crazy cell-shaded bandits, beasts, and other baddies to stand between you and your optional team of vault hunters. I thoroughly enjoyed the first game in the series. It offered a colorful cast of NPC's to interact with and help out along with a very MMO feeling level system that colored your damage and health throughout the game, mostly to prevent you from going too far ahead without properly leveling. With full co-op multiplayer in tow Borderlands 2 hits the bricks with a ton of smart talking characters and a new cast of vault hunters to tangle with this new storyline. Those who enjoyed the fresh look and feel Borderlands offers the FPS genre will not be disappointed by it's aggressively awaited sequel.
