Playing Resident Evil 6 for the first time (I gave up after two hours back when it first released) and... *woof*.
As an artefact from the 360 generation, it's a fascinating mess of conflicting ideas.
As a game to play today, though? Absolutely rank. A miserable slog.

The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

What a year. At the time it was a toss up between Left 4 Dead and MGS4 (I know, I know).
Now, it's probably Mirror's Edge or Dead Space. Two bold swings, the likes of which feel so rare these days.

@backpagepod.bsky.social I wish this was an intentional thing I actively try and do every Christmas, but it's genuinely not.
I found another one. Potentially the last one? It was in a train station. My wife sighed loudly when I asked her to take the photo.
