| Ah yes, I couldn't remember the name of this game. All I could remember was that "Home" was in its name. Rumor has it that this is where the name Resident Evil came from. Home = Residence. _________________ Leon Fanboys Please Click Here Wesker is officially dead: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/100/1006931p1.html | NiteKrawler wrote: | | Jamesy wrote: | | Fine you win NightCrawler |

I've always thought it was called Resident Evil for a different reason. From what I understand, resident doesn't just mean home, but it's more the idea of being somewhere, get what I mean. So in all the games "evil" is resident. Very clever title IMO. |

Nah, Resident means staying in one place. The dictionary says "Not migratory". Therefore, the "evil" would only be in one place. And as we've seen, that isn't the case. Plus Sweet Home was based in a house/mansion just like Resident Evil._________________ Leon Fanboys Please Click Here Wesker is officially dead: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/100/1006931p1.html | NiteKrawler wrote: | | Jamesy wrote: | | Fine you win NightCrawler |

I know, what I meant to get across though is that in all the games, evil is resident. It's always there. Just hard to get across by typing. |

Has Capcom ever actually explained the English title of the series. The reasons for calling it "Biohazard" in Japan are quite obvious. |

| There is a thread around here somewhere that says that they don't even know why it's called Resident Evil. It's like they got some random dude off the street here and said name this game something...we won't question you. _________________ Leon Fanboys Please Click Here Wesker is officially dead: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/100/1006931p1.html | NiteKrawler wrote: | | Jamesy wrote: | | Fine you win NightCrawler |

It may have been to make is sound cooler. Weird, I know, but when the first Harry Potter was "ported" to the US, they changed it from it's original title (The Philosopher's Stone) to Sorcerer's Stone, the reason being that they though it sounded cooler. Same with Phillip Pullman's "Northern Lights", got changed to "The Golden Compass". |

| Ah yes, I remember reading about Sweet Home in a Gameinformer magezine, in fact the entire like two pages were dedicated to RE.  It described alot on how Sweet Home inspired RE. _________________ -Vae Victus-Suffering To The Conquered-"The ultimate lifeform...Tyrant", Albert Wesker, REmakeConsumer Recreation Services  |

Same. While the movies aren't nearly as good as the books, they are still enjoyable. And now the effects just keep getting better and the plot is starting to get really exciting. |

| I think the movies are gratuitously excellent! They stick with the book almost verbatim, in most respects, and I love the actors. Ralph Fiennes plays one of the best villains I can think of. He's right there with Wesker! _________________ Leon Fanboys Please Click Here Wesker is officially dead: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/100/1006931p1.html | NiteKrawler wrote: | | Jamesy wrote: | | Fine you win NightCrawler |
