THE EVIL WITHIN: INITIAL VERDICT Open Gallery There's not much that's new about The Evil Within . If you've played Resident Evil , Silent Hill or The Last Of Us you'll be at home here, and if you loved those games then from what we've seen you'll...

It's not easy for a game with the name Shinji Mikami attached to it to live up to the hype, but The Evil Within does a nice job of staying true to its roots...
