This month, the game I recommend you to buy has to be Resident Evil II.  Now doubt that you've already resevil2 6.gif (16113 bytes)seen this classic on the Playstation, but if you haven't here's the story.  Resident Evil II is the sequel from obviously the first Res Evil where you found yourself involved with an American kind of SWAT team called "STARS" which was part of resevil21.gif (75309 bytes)the police.   They were sent in to find out why they lost contact with another team previous to them.  Anyway, to cut a (very) long story short they escaped from the flesh eating zombies and big monsters just in front of a biresevil2 7.gif (16420 bytes)g explosion.  Along with that they found the bad guys, who were a corporation called Umbrella.  Well guess what, they at it again and you're either a new cop to Racoon City, or a woman called Claire.  Why she's there I don't know, but the introductory FMV is cool and you really get into it after seeing it.  Capcom, have this time stayed with the original plot and theme as the first Res Evil, with aresevil2 2.gif (71692 bytes) few zombies, a puzzle, a few more zombies, another puzzle etc. which may sound boring but it really kicks arse!  The graphics are totally superb, even without a 3D accelerator if your PC's pretty new.  That along with a great involving and progressive story line comes a great game and should sell really well.

resevil2 5.gif (16588 bytes)There is also a crossover in the two characters.  They both have different stories to unfold and different tasks, although unique are blended in really well.  However, you only really appreciate that after you've completed the game with both.  The baddies arresevil2 4.gif (16808 bytes)e also extremely stereotypical (cool) and they do really splat blood absolutely everywhere resevil2 3.gif (16922 bytes)(very cool), but above all there is a big boss at the end slap (extremely cool).  Now you may be reading this and thinking well "I've seen blood and a big boss at the end", well the answer to that is probably yes you have, but not to the quality of this.  If you have never played it, go buy it! You wont be disappointed!
