Resident Evil: The Good, The Bad, The Camp

3. Nemesis

resident evil nemesis STARS! Nemesis is a fantastic Resident Evil Baddie. He is large. He is scary looking. He wears a black leather trench coat. He has a rocket launcher for an arm. He runs as swift as the wind. He can open doors and his attacks are devastating. I rarely confront Nemesis when he appears on the screen. I run like the wind. I used to play this game years ago with an old friend and when Nemesis came along, we were seized by absolute panic - "Run! Run! Run! Go left! Go left! He's going to kill you! Hurry!". This was the flavour of our terror. However whenever you are up against Nemi, it is a good idea to shoot him because his body bears goodies like bullets. He will lie there but will reanimate and ruin your life again. Like a dog returning to its vomit, Nemesis can't help reanimating. In all of my 15 years of playing Resident Evil, there has been no scarier monster than Nemesis. I think it is the breath taking pace he moves at. Or maybe the fact that he has been specifically created to hunt you down. Well whatever it is, Nemesis instals a heart stopping terror in me like no other Resident Evil villain.
