10 Videogame Holiday Destinations You Should Avoid

3. Raccoon City - Resident Evil

Situated somewhere in the American Mid-West at the foot of the Arklay Mountains, Raccoon City once relied heavily on its industrial trade and made good use of the three rivers €“ Marble, Circular and Aimes €“ running through it. But the city was completely obliterated thanks to the combined efforts of the t-virus outbreak of 1998, a 100,000-strong hoard of flesh eating zombies and mutants making the place feel very unwelcoming indeed, and a whopping great thermonuclear missile bombardment. Now a holiday to this desolate, smouldering, toxic hellhole of a former city would be on par with a fortnight in Chernobyl. But if you€™re into your dark tourism and enjoy slaying the un-dead in radiation-filled environments, go ahead, fill your boots. Chances are there€™s still a few stragglers hanging about you can take down. Can€™t imagine the hotel trade is booming though so it€™s advisable you bring a tent, and some heavy weaponry, and probably some toilet paper. Oh, if you do somehow manage to get out alive, chances are your hair will fall out over time and you€™ll be infertile. Still, you can€™t complain about the price.
