I know Resident Evil 4 is only 5 years old. It still deserves its place as this week’s Friday Flashback for a very simple fact: it would be a far, far better purchase than a ticket to see Resident Evil: Afterlife. Currently Amazon has Resident Evil 4 for the Wii for just $12, and the PS2 version for just $10. Depending on where you live, that’s the cost of a movie ticket, or a movie ticket and some soda and popcorn. If you were planning to go see Resident Evil Afterlife this weekend, don’t. Use that money to get this great game instead.

And yes, a review for that cinematic debacle I witnessed this evening will be coming, very soon.
