Fan or foe of the Resident Evil series, you have to admit that it changed the face of gaming forever. Along with franchised games like Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, and Alone in the Dark "the term "survival horror" became a way to describe what was not only a fad in gaming but that was also a marketing force. This, of course, led to many noteworthy offspring of the genre, many rip-offs of the big kids, and many consoles trying to cashing in by making the next in their series the best in the series.
And now, hoping down the Bunny Trail, comes the brand new world of porting.
For those who are not accustomed to "porting," it is basically a term used to say "we took an old game and shoved it into a new system with a shiny new box." Sometimes this works out well and you have a great piece of nostalgia, and sometimes this works in the "not-so-well" classification and you find yourself somewhat miffed by your purchase. With Resident Evil :deadly Silence, I kind of feel like the title says it all.

Capcom basically made the survival horror genre a force to be reckoned with (while borrowing heavily from the original PC game Alone in the Dark) thanks to the original Resident Evil on the PS1, and now the game that spawned an entire series and countless immitators makes it's mark on Nintendo's DS, and also marks the first Mature rated game for the dual screened handheld to boot. Now, let's get it straight that this is pretty much a direct port of the original PS1 classic (along with the unedited "director's cut" opening FMV sequence), and sadly the game hasn't aged all that well. Everything bad you remember about the game is still here; from the unbelievably bad voice acting and dialogue, to go along with the incredibly cheesy FMV sequences. Not to mention that the controls, which were annoying enough when you first played the game a decade ago, are now just plain archaic, especially on the DS. However, after a while, you can get used to the control scheme, although prepare for bouts
