An Unqualified Game Reviewer

Empire of Sin is one of the newest games I’ve reviewed so far, and unfortunately I can’t review much of it for reasons I’ll get too; but for now I’ll say that this review is going to be a brief one. The game comes to us from Romero Games , a company founded by husband-and-wife John and Brenda Romero; John Romero of course being famous for his work at id Software alongside John Carmack, who together evolved the first-person-shooter genre throughout the 90s, starting with the lesser known Hovertank 3D , then to Catacomb 3D , and then the renowned triumvirate of Wolfenstein 3D to Doom and finally to Quake . After Quake the duo fell apart leading John Carmack to remain at id Software to create the progenitor of the bland, brown, military shooter in the form of Quake II , a game completely unrelated to Quake I ; and John Romero left to claim the top bunk with the disastrous Daikatana . After the split of the two Johns, it seems that the responsibility of advancing the technology of fi...

Having only been a Resident Evil fan for little over a year there’s very little insider knowledge I have over the entire franchise, and I certainly can’t claim to have played every title. The Gun Survivor series I doubt I’ll ever play because I’ve heard of their reputation, although that being said I did give Resident Evil 6 a chance, as much of a mistake that was. Anyway, the point I was making is that I haven’t played every game in the franchise yet, and probably at this point never will. But one highly respected entry to the series I’ve only recently gotten around to trying is Resident Evil: Revelations on the 3DS.

Would you believe me if I said that I recently finished playing Luigi’s Mansion 3 on the Switch, and got a Switch in the first place, entirely because I wanted to play Resident Evil: Revelations on 3DS? Well, I recently finished playing Luigi’s Mansion 3 on the Switch, and got a Switch in the first place, entirely because I wanted to play Resident Evil: Revelations on 3DS. You see, just over a year ago I got really into the Resident Evil series. In fact, the Resident Evil series is also the main reason why I started writing these blog-posts/reviews/articles in the first place, because I had played most of the main line Resident Evil games and really wanted to rank them for my personal amusement, so I did that and decided to write an accompanying paragraph describing my feelings for each entry and why it was positioned where it was on the list. After completing this over the course of an afternoon, a few weeks went by before I decided to put it online. Anyway, having gotten i...
