Resident Evil Village Used To Have A Lot More Enemies
21.5.2021
While you certainly face mini-hordes from time to time, Resident Evil Village isn’t a game that just throws enemies at you willy-nilly. But that wasn’t always the case. Capcom’s latest behind-the-scenes video shows that some early builds apparently included an overwhelming number of foes, which...
I Thought Resident Evil Village's Dollhouse Was A Chill Time, Actually
20.5.2021
The internet has been filled with folks sharing their thoughts about the dollhouse section in Resident Evil Village. Many call it scary or even terrifying. But, I didn’t find the location all that scary at all. In fact, I found the whole section rather calming and even fun.Read more
A Big Lady Needs A Big Hat
19.5.2021
Apart from her height, Resident Evil Village villain Lady Dimitrescu’s most striking feature has got to be the fashionable hat she wears while chasing you down. But what if it was (pardon me while I attempt my best Jeff Gerstmann impression) bigger?Read more

Resident Evil Village Is Proving A Great Intro To The Series, Even When It Makes Me Sick
17.5.2021
Until Village, I had never played a Resident Evil game in my life because I am a gigantic baby who is ridiculously easy to scare. But I knew as soon as I saw that tall, glamorous, vampire woman that I’d steel my courage and give the venerable horror franchise a try, if only for her. Read more
Resident Evil Village, As Told By Steam Reviews
14.5.2021
There’s a lot going on in Resident Evil Village: Big lady. Severed hand. Resident Evil 4 parallels. There are other things that happen too, but if you’re a Steam reviewer, those three are very much the main ones.Read more
Resident Evil Village Looks Much Scarier As A PS1 Game
12.5.2021
I wasn’t blown away by the scares in Resident Evil Village, and it turns out a PlayStation 1-style demake is all the proof I need to believe the game would have been a much more terrifying experience on older consoles.Read more
Ethan’s Severed Hand Is More Than A Gory Resident Evil Gag
12.5.2021
We’ve established by now that Resident Evil Village puts protagonist Ethan Winters through a great deal of unpleasantness. But the already-iconic visual of Ethan’s hand being slashed and sliding off isn’t just a good running gag or Capcom at its most masochistic. It’s also a clue to an end-game...
Pretty Much Everyone In Resident Evil Village Needs Therapy
12.5.2021
I’m a big believer in therapy and finding healthy coping mechanisms, so throughout my playthrough of Resident Evil Village, I kept thinking about how much better off everyone would’ve been had they just worked their shit out. Seriously. I think everyone in this fucked-up game could benefit from...
Lady Dimitrescu vs The Humble Coffee Table

11.5.2021
It’s the fifth anniversary of the release of Uncharted 4, and while the developers are reminiscing over on Naughty Dog’s site, I thought I’d revisit this 2016 story I wrote about the perfect video game ending.Read more
True Horror Is A Baby Chris Redfield Mod
11.5.2021
The scariest thing about Resident Evil Village isn’t the monsters, or the vampires, of the locals. It’s tucking wee baby Chris Redfield into bed.Read more
Move Over Tall Lady, Donna Beneviento Is The Real Star Of Resident Evil Village
10.5.2021
Resident Evil Village launched last Friday, giving folks plenty of time to play (and probably beat) it over the weekend. Capcom didn’t let me talk about it in my review, but I think it’s time to finally gush about the excellence of the House Beneviento segment.Read more

I Wish This Lady Dimitrescu Action Figure Was Real
9.5.2021
Capcom, if you want to make a lot of money, watch this fake ‘90s action figure ad about Resident Evil Village’s Lady Dimitrecsu. Then make this thing a reality. Read more
Someone At Capcom Really Hates Ethan's Hands
8.5.2021
Ethan is the main protagonist of Resident Evil Village. He has a rough life, what with all the dangerous monsters trying to kill him. Ethan’s hands seem to be the main target. They get treated so poorly that I’m starting to suspect someone at Capcom hates Ethan’s hands and wants to destroy them...
Resident Evil Village's Lady Dimitrescu Was Worth The Wait
7.5.2021
After the internet spent months pining and meme-ing, she’s finally here: Lady Dimitrescu—and also Resident Evil Village, I guess. But was she (and, I suppose, the game) worth all the hype and marketing-driven hoopla? On this week’s village- (and Village-) themed episode of Splitscreen, we find...
Apologies To The Pig I Absolutely Obliterated In Resident Evil Village
7.5.2021
In my Resident Evil Village review, I said that the scares were a little light for an installment in the popular survival horror franchise. I stand by that critique, but I’d be remiss to ignore one of the game’s best jump scares. That it’s provided by a pig is neither here nor there.Read more
