Resident Evil 3 is a big-budget remake of one of the earlier PlayStation One titles that made the franchise so popular. It features the legendary character of the series, Jill Valentine, in the leading role, trying to survive against a horde of zombies and the iconic bioweapon Nemesis. The game also includes the 1v4 multiplayer mode, Resident Evil Resistance, where three players all try to survive and defeat the last player who is controlling all kinds of traps and zombies.

Upon its initial release, many platers said the game felt a bit too short despite the great gameplay, and thought that a lower price would make it an more enticing buy. At just $20, it’s currently at the perfect price point for the content that’s included.

For those that are new to the series and wish to get into more of the titles, Resident Evil 3 is a highly recommended starting point for the legendary franchise. Many other Resident Evil titles are currently on sale, too, so there are a few options available for curious horror fans.

The Steam Summer Sale runs until July 8, so make sure to grab Resident Evil 3 for $20 while you can.

The replay quotient of the Resident Evil 4 remake is already incredibly high. Aside from attempting the game on higher difficulties, odds are you will miss at least some of the collectibles or guns during your first run. Still, many people will want more, and the included extras like costumes and special weapons can only extend a single-player game's life so much. This is where mods come in. From new models and outfits to reworked mechanics, mods can breathe new life into this survival horror masterpiece.

Resident Evil 4 shows that a remake doesn’t need to be completely faithful

Back when Capcom announced its Resident Evil 2 remake, I was ecstatic. This was a game I had missed when it first came out, and it was an important part of a series I had grown to love. However, its outdated gameplay meant it was close to impossible to go back comfortably, and its age meant it was tough to play legally. If I wanted to play Resident Evil 2, I would either have to head towards emulation (which I have no patience for) or rely on the remake. The latter, as it turned out, was ideal.

You’ll find remakes across all of media, so the idea isn’t anything new. But video games are in the middle of a remake boom with studios spending a lot of money on taking existing IP and looking backward at a seemingly more frantic pace. Cynically, it’s just another way they can make money off of a beloved series, but it’s also a way to bring older, important games to newer audiences.

There was one small fun diversion in the original game that has been expanded and improved for the remake, which is the optional Shooting Gallery. This time there are multiple of these safe spaces to hone your aim, but also a fully developed system of challenges, scores, and, best of all, rewards. If you want to take a breather from all the horrors that await you in Resident Evil 4 remake, here's where you can find all the Shooting Galleries, what you can win, and some helpful tips.
Shooting Gallery locations

There are a total of five locations across all 16 Chapters of Resident Evil 4 remake, and they all are within the safety of a Merchant zone. Each one, except the last, will introduce a new set of three challenges, but all previous challenges from past Shooting Galleries will be present in the later ones. That means you could technically wait and only visit the final one to take on all the challenges there. Here's where you can find each individual Shooting Gallery in order of appearance:
