can't move both sets of limbs ...

Resident Evil Lessee, this is a series that has spanned, what over 15 versions across 7 consoles and the PC, including a couple of light gun based variants. It was the series that brought survival horror to the gaming mainstream (though yes Alone in the Dark did it first) and the next version is already in development for the PS3.

Change of pace

We recently picked up Fahrenheit for the PS2 So far, I'm pretty impressed. I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a well-thought game with a little depth. Just cos I'm also a fragger don't mean that sometimes I like a game that works the brain as well as the reaction speed
