Still taking a fairly wide variety of courses before officially declaring my major, I found myself with an inordinate amount of free time since I only ended up working during the summer. I had only recently decided to focus on English, after discovering an aptitude for writing, an interest in literature, and an inability to comprehend Calculus.
In 2005, I was studying at the University of British Columbia in the middle of my Bachelor’s degree in Arts. In 2005, Capcom may have been making a gamble by adding significant action elements to its survival horror franchise, but anyone who has played RE4 can tell you that this experiment paid off in spades, unlike Umbrella Corporation’s infamous projects. One of the most critically acclaimed video games of all time, Resident Evil 4 marked a major departure from all of the mainline and spinoff titles in the series that came before it.
