Despite its obvious faults, I didn’t mind working through this game because I’ve never played it before. As fan of the series, I felt I had to. But you have to go in understanding what the Resident Evil Archives series is. You’re not going to get enhanced graphics. You’re not going to get Wii motion controls. What you’re going to get is an old game that you can play on a modern system.

The game industry, being full of fun-loving folks and plenty of joke-loving nerds, has always been big on “celebrating” April Fools Day with a few excellent pranks. Fake game announcements, wacky DLC, totally off-the-wall features – you name it, it’s been done on April 1st. This year, we had a few good ones, especially from the good folks at GameStop and GameSpot (which are hilariously easy to mistake for one another in print, no doubt).
