A fascinating book from a horror and gaming perspective.
A fun, fascinating book that gives a great deal of information regarding what happened in the Resident Evil/Biohazard series before the first game.

The "Trevor's Letters" section of the book provides a haunting, yet not overly revealing backstory about the notorious mansion's design, but it succeeds in preserving the mystery of what lies ahead, while providing gamers with some subtle game hints.

The main section of the book, "Resident Evil: The Beginning", is a light novel by Hiroyuki Ariga, providing a brief prequel to the game that leads straight into the game itself. Well written and thoroughly enjoyable!

The final section is an interview with Shinji Mikami, the designer of the game, where he talks about his inspirations and previous games. A superb insight into how the game was made, mainly providing details on game design and the games soundtrack (or lack thereof). A smart and funny interview with a man that gamers have a lot to thank for!

The main problem with the book is that it was only released to the Japanese market, but thanks to the wonder of the internet, there is a translation available so we can all enjoy it!

Arkham Horror: The Card Game is a very good game... for people who consider themselves avid board gamers. There is a lot to learn, such as the flow of the gameplay, what each type of card does, keeping tally of your skills, etc. If you are willing to knuckle down and stumble through your first attempt at the game, then the story is quite good and is worth the hassle. Otherwise, there is a lot to learn and get your head around. My partner and I really enjoyed playing this game and are looking forward to buying the expansions.
