Playing Resident Evil and learning English After starting playing Starcraft 2 once again (as I mentioned previously, in another entry), I've started to think about the games which helped me to develop my English, and some of them were Resident Evil series games, specially on the first editions, in the time its genre was so called ''Survival Horror''. There is plenty of written information on that games which can be used for learning, like files you can find throughout the game which contains instructions for use of certain equipments, personal notes (of the characters), letters and other types of written information. There are also various simple questions like ''will you take the Crank?'', simple information like ''It's locked from the other side'' (when you try to open a door) and you can read a short briefing about an item or an object when you check them out. There is also several items on the game which can help you to increase your vocabulary, like lighters, pipes and cords, besides some conversations which can be useful for improving your listening. In that time, when I used to play it, I was a child, and I was only interested in playing and I didn't realize how helpful it would be for my learning. Nowadays, I can see it was trully helpful and I have no doubt that it can be used for didactic porposes.
