Originality debates have been thrown around back and fourth all the time. We need to face it. We are in a day and age where being original in games is either unusual, or a hit or miss affair.

Recently, Eurogamer has re-ignited the racism controversy in Resident Evil 5.  Fear not readers, this is nothing new: Resident Evil has always been racist. Read more… »
