As I said before, I wasn't impressed with the RE6 demo, so I waited for one of the sales and finally picked up the game for a mere $19.99. I enjoyed reading GeekyDad's take on the game, and hoped I'd find something to enjoy about it at that price. Sadly, no such luck. I've posted my review, not that anyone ever reads it, or will care six months later, but there it is... The short version: a disappointment. I'm pretending it doesn't exist. The updates Capcom has made to the game make it pretty clear they recognize it's a broken mess. I mean, an option to have the game push buttons for you!? And completely change the camera to make it halfway serviceable... and unlock Ada's campaign and Mercenaries right from the menu? Apparently they recognize the game isn't worth playing through to get to the supposedly "good" stuff. I thought Mercenaries might benefit from the increased focus on melee action, but the maps are so uninspired I end up running in circles looking for enemies to keep a combo going and just watching the clock run down. No high scores for me...

Here's hoping Revelations is more fun and more like past entries in the series when it becomes available for PS3. I have high hopes from reading the 3DS reviews and HD previews...

Anyway, I hope everyone is well out there in gaming land, and oh yeah, try Runner 2!!! I'm off to draw dinosaurs with my 3 year old, who thinks "Pachycephalosaurus" is the funniest word ever...
