The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?
Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.
One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.
I enjoyed the game co-oping with a friend I know the game in solo the AI can be an idiot but RE5 is way better then RE6. I played RE6 with a friend if it wasn't cheap when I got I would have avoided RE6.
5 was excellent, still play Mercs with my brother.
I would love a fully remastered RE:5, with some added, reworked content. The DLC for 5 was also excellent.
6 was awful.
I never understood why the game was misunderstood. It was a fantastic game at launch and is still fun today to play. It’s as action packed as Resident Evil 4 was, yet that’s regarded a masterpiece 🤷♂️
it was "misunderstood" because they introduced co-op into the franchise at a time when people loved to have fake rage about co-op. like, you could play the game as a solo experience, but people chose to have their bandwagon rage because it was cool at the time lol
Try to cope with your friend through terror with this list featuring the best horror Co-Op games you can play today.
It's an improvement over what it was, but here in Canada at least, most, not all, but most of the games are priced higher then they are at retail (well, futureshop at least), by around 5-20 bucks depending on the game (Fallout 3, for instance, is only 35 bucks at futureshop, but it is $60 online. That's the biggest one, the rest have less of a descrepency in pricing, but still around 10 dollars more. Why???). It leaves me very little insentive to buy anything off of the service at this point.
Hopefully, we start seeing more games arriving on the service, and at fair prices (Microsoft is notorious for their odd pricing schemes, they can be all over the map). Get some indie titles on here, some ports (or upgraded ports) of XBLA titles, some remakes of older PC games, and some more original content, and I think the service will have a chance. And the UI needs a lot of work, still no universal in-game/out of game client yet.
£7.49 is a good price for any "full" game (as in, worthy of disc-based retail release), and if the range continues to expand in this way I could see some people investing in the service. Right now though, it's a nice addition to an average service, not a frontrunner in the field.
