From the creators of the original Alan Wake game comes this new take on the franchise.

Whoa! They are making another Resident Evil Game? I hated Resident Evil 5, RE4 was a masterpiece! and Wait a minute, you are telling me Leon Kennedy and Ashley are back (RE4) with … Chris Redfield!

It was extremely satisfying.

Verdict: Consider this pre-ordered!
