Video games are a medium filled with lousy stories, absurd scenarios and otherwise ridiculous plot points. That said, there are also some real gems out there. The sort that rise above the stupidity of their bretheren and prove that yes, gaming can be a real, honest-to-goodness medium for storytelling. Sadly, few can do this perfectly. Even in the best games there are those moments where you just have to sit back and wonder what they were thinking.

This week: Resident Evil: Code Veronica

Most would blame Resident Evil 4 for this. To an extent they’d be right. Resident Evil 4, with its dramatic shift in gameplay, utter lack of zombies and development of Leon into an almost literal superhero was the last nail in the coffin of Resident Evil as a survival horror franchise. That said, I’d say the blame lies with an earlier title it, Resident Evil: Code Veronica.
