Happy 15th birthday RE!
Has it really been 15 years? Love it or hate it Resident Evil is a very special franchise having single handedly created a new genre of game “survival horror“. Resident Evil was also arguably the first game to heavily feature zombies. Since its release 15 years ago there have been dozens of clones, over 20 Resident Evil titles (including mobile games), and more games featuring zombies than I can count. What makes Resident Evil special? Great heroes, diabolical villains, evil corporations, kung fu, colossal boss fights, and… Oh yeah, the simple fact that original games were damn scary. We’ve covered a lot of Resident Evil on NerdAppropriate.com, so forgive me If I sound repetitive on occasion; I love the series for what it was, as well as what it has the potential to one day be again. Check out this video released by Capcom highlighting some great moments from the past 15 years of Resident Evil. There are even a few clips from upcoming unreleased Resident Evil titles. Happy birthday RE!

While not nearly as massive as PAX in terms of its video game related programming, Comic-Con has been steadily adding more video game related content year after year. This year Comic-Con has dozens of panels to satisfy your video game hunger. Sadly, indie games haven’t really made their way to Comic-Con as of yet, but it’s only a matter of time before indie games crash the party.
