It’s easy to see what Capcom was thinking when creating Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. While the series is somewhat seminal to the zombie phenomenon, tastes have moved beyond just the simple survival horror format to the more action oriented shooters like Left 4 Dead and Dead Island. Meanwhile 3rd person cover shooters like Gears of War have also become all the rage. So why not combine the trends, and even tackle the story from another angle to boot? Spinoffs are always a fun gamble and sometimes they even pay off with something bigger than the original. Unfortunately this roll of the dice comes up snake eyes for both the publisher and gamers.
