Reeboks are all the rage, your Dad’s buying you pogs and for some reason, no one can stop dancing the Macarena. And, hiding away in the Amiga CD32‘s modest catalogue of games is Psycho Killer – an interactive FMV survival horror title. I never finished Psycho Killer on its native platform (I got perhaps half-way through), but I felt compelled recently to give it another crack, arse-painted graphics be damned.

So, Rob and I went a little video crazy over at Up Up Down Down, our alternative gaming blog, and recorded the entire, hilarious, experience. Somehow, we make Morgan Freeman creepy, bring back the Reebok, and learn just how deadly a blunt machete can be.

This video (which looks to be one of a future many) is an attempt by myself and fellow designer Rob MacBride to review Resident Evil 5 – humour added where appropriate (or wherever the heck we pleased).

We were prepared for zombies. We were prepared for the axe-wielding crazy dude. We were more than prepared for the boob camera. What we were not prepared for was launching a split-screen multi-player game.

Watch. Enjoy. Comment.
