Video Game Book Club: Resident Evil | PS1 | 1996

The game for this weeks Video Game Book Club is 1996’s Resident Evil for the original PlayStation.

Resident Evil was the first game to use the term “survival horror” where the emphasis is as much on avoiding combat as it is trying to be prepared for it. Ammo and health items are scarce so each enemy encounter forced players to decide if it’s worth using precious resources to fight or finding ways to avoid the encounter.
