They’re also intelligent and insightful games that look at a host of interesting philosophies and themes, from game theory to moral relativism. Wrap that up in some light…

Review by Brad L. With Resident Evil 7: Biohazard taking the Resident Evil franchise into a bold and controversial new direction, it was a curious decision for Capcom to re-release Resident Evil: Revelations onto current-gen consoles. After all, it’s a port of a port of a 5-year old Nintendo 3DS…
