Greetings, everyone. My first review will be of my favorite BYOND Resident Evil game, Resident Evil by Ruben7. Many people just consider this game a shiny remake of REO / REO2, but it's more than that. It has different qualities, and a more polished game play.
Gameplay
When logging into the game, you're greeted by a well designed GFX, and a sleek interface.

Upon clicking the Title Screen, you are alerted with a voting option. Match type, Map, amount of Zombies, and Difficulty. So the decision isn't biased, and everybody gets a say. There is also a Radar showing all living life forms in the bottom right corner of your screen.

Now you're obviously going to need a weapon to kill the Zombies, so once you're brought to the lobby, you can go to the top right room to purchase a gun with your pre-given money.

A nice looking alert is brought up telling you all the guns ammunition information, damage, fire rate, and reload time. You bring this alert up by right-clicking whichever gun appeals to you.
Now, it's time to do what we all came here to do, right? Kill some Zombies!

You'll see that by clicking the little hand in the bottom left corner of your screen, you can see how much Ammo you have, and your gun. You can equip this gun by clicking on it.
Once equipped, your mouse pointer icon turns into an little aim icon. Simply click somewhere to shoot. (I like to click at the Zombie's head for a higher chance of a head shot. ;])

Headshot! Down goes the Zombie.. Crap, he got back up! One of the fine things about the Zombie shooting range. The Zombie's don't die, so you can spend endless amounts of time practicing your shot. And maybe, JUST maybe, you can be as good a shooter as me. =] (/kidding I honestly just got lucky)
Presentation
This game is presented quite exquisitely. As shown in the screenshot first shown, the interface is very helpful. You can check your earned medals, change your character, turn off sound, observe other players, and check how many people are on and where they are!
The HUD, as described earlier, has two hands to equip weapons, a radar that shows nearby life, your health, and your infection spread. The speed of the infection spread depends on the seriousness of your bite. If you were simply bit by one Zombie then ran for the hills, you have about 3-5 minutes of life. If you were ambushed and trapped by Zombies, expect to die within 10 seconds. And finally, you have a display for your Rank, Kills, and Money.
Originality
This game doesn't have the most original concept, but the artwork is (to my knowledge) 100% original. The game play is similar to Resident Evil Online 1 / 2, but is presented in a much more polished manner. I would definitely favor this game over REO 1 / 2.
Overall
Overall, this is a pretty fun game to play if you need to kill 1-2 hours or release some stress. So go gather a few friends, and kill some Zombies!
