Resident Evil 4 (GameCube)

Aaaaargh! Is about all I can say, really. A few more (!) hours in now and I can safely say this is my Game of the Year. And it’s only February. It has one of the most satisfying shotguns I’ve ever encountered 🙂 I was a bit sceptical about the lack of zombie at first

The difficulty is starting to pick up a little now, and
