The James Logan Courier

If you assembled a focus group of people who've never played a "Resident Evil" game and tasked them with designing the next one, very well might be what they conceive by day's end.

That isn't damning criticism so much as faint praise, because "City" at least with competency. It holds no candle to a traditional "RE" game. But as a cover-based, co-op-capable third-person squad shooter that hits every bullet point an online, experience points-driven, competitive/cooperative shooter needs to hit? Sure, why not.

From wikipedia:
Herbert Eugene Caen (April 3, 1916 – February 1, 1997) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning San Francisco journalist whose daily column of local goings-on, social and political happenings, local anecdotes, and insider gossip -- often poking fun, but rarely if ever hostile or ill-willed -- appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle for almost sixty years, except during a relatively short stint at the San Francisco Examiner. His name was a household word throughout the San Francisco Bay Area for decades; his funeral was one of the best-attended in San Francisco history, and republications of his old columns remain a prominent Chronicle feature many years after his death.
