Resident Evil - Platinum (PS)Resident Evil - Platinum (PS)
Buy used from: £6.00
Although this has been improved for the Gamecube, I still have a soft spot for the more cheesier original version with the dodgy voice acting. Nothing quite beats "...CHRIS'S Blood!" LOL!

Set in a Japanese village where something has gone very wrong and everyone is a crazy unkillable zombie, this game is beyond tough! But if you bear with it, you're in for a great J-Horror treat.

Fantastic horror tribute based on H P Lovecraft's Mythos. You play a variety of characters who fight the nasties, but not without going mad. Which is the best bit. Losing your sanity is such fun! :D
