Resident Evil 6 review: Splitting pairs
It’s no longer clear what makes Resident Evil tick, so Capcom is dissecting it. Resident Evil 6 is a steel tray of plump, disconnected organs, each representing a crucial element of the monstrous franchise.

Kennedy (the “S” stands for “Salon,” by the way) leads with Helena Harper, who clues him in on a new contagion giving rise to the dead worldwide. The two really are the worst match if you’re looking for rapid plot development – she’s basically a viral marketer, and he’s bizarrely skeptical for a guy who is statistically likely to be in the room whenever someone sprouts tentacles and extra teeth.Gallery: Resident Evil 6 (E3 2012)Continue reading Resident Evil 6 review: Splitting pairsResident Evil 6 review: Splitting pairs originally appeared on Joystiq on Mon, 01 Oct 2012 11:16:00 EST.
