10 Video Games We Love BECAUSE They're Fun Trash

If Resident Evil 7 hadn’t happened, I would’ve told you that the series as we knew it was completely gone, dead and buried.

The very name - Resident Evil - implies there’s something lurking, something sinister, in a singular domicile, or even a singular neighbourhood - a malevolent, dark presence so foul that the fear of encountering it is enough to make you tremble, let alone having to fight it.

So, as Resident Evils 4-5 ramped up the campy, dumb action, I started to lose hope, until I read that the 6th entry would “make ALL the fans happy”. Little did I know, this meant throwing a chocolate cake, a curry and a full English breakfast in the pot together and proclaiming it as “everyone’s favourite dish”.

Resident Evil 6 is the Channel 5 daytime movie of the series. Every fight is an explosion-filled nonsense-fest. Every line of dialogue is delivered like a west-end stage play. You run away from an exploding helicopter across the back of a truck. You flying suplex a mutant baby. A T-Rex is in it.

Utterly incomprehensible stuff, and truly a game you have to play to believe it exists.
