'''Resident Evil''' is a survival horror title developed by Capcom at the beginning of the 21st Century. It is a remake of the 1996 title of the [[Resident Evil (1996 game)|same name]]. While this version was simply titled '''Resident Evil''', it is often known under the informal titles of '''Resident Evil: Remake''' or '''Resident Evil: Rebirth''' (abbreviated '''REmake''' and '''REbirth''', respectively) to disambiguate it from the original title. In Japan, the remake's title is spelled in lower-case letters ('''biohazard''') in its logo along with the other GameCube installments, in contrast to the previous games' logos, which spelled the title in upper-case letters ('''BIOHAZARD'''). The game is notable for its graphical overhaul, mechanical updates, and revived sub-plots. It received positive reviews from video games critics, with many praising the much needed overhaul and increased scare factor.
