You know, when other videos say stuff like "world record" with millions of points, I feel an instinctive aversion because those videos are usually full of practical but non-exciting tactics like dumping every weapon except the rifle and waiting for the area to fill with Ganados and Mayhem before they start shooting. I know it's the most efficient way, but its also a dull way to play. Not like this though. You sir, make Mercenaries look like a dance. You are an artist! You play Mercenaries the way it's supposed to be played, and I say to you, "Well done!"

I’d love a Devil May Cry style Resident Evil game. People would bitch and moan because it’s not a survival horror but let’s expand the brand a little bit, give Leon an absolutely absurd beat em up/hack n slash title. It doesn’t even have to be canon. It’ll never happen because games and game companies are increasingly anti-fun, but it’s nice to think about.
