Sound effects: [chainsaw] [creamed corn falling into a toilet bowl]

Okaaaay. So I just got Resident Evil 4 for Wii, after discovering that (a) it was $30 ($20 less than the Amazon coupon I had), and (b) reviewers seemed to be very pleased with how it uses the Wiimote/nunchuk controls.

Annnd, I'm not sure I'm psychologically prepared to play this.

Seriously, the sound and graphics in the "survival horror" genre have gotten... awfully... detailed, since I last looked. (Circa Silent Hill 3.)

I have died more times in video games than I can count, but that just now was the first time that doing so made me throw up in my mouth a little.

I am not convinced this is a good thing.

toonygal and I had to take turns on the controller playing the Gamecube version, swapping every time we got too freaked out to keep going.

If you're talking about the bit I think you're talking about... yeah, we took a break around that point. :D

Can't have everything

I am blessed to have a gamer girlfriend, but after IMing a description of my first impressions, she's made me promise to not play this particular game while she's over.
