Work

Summary of work and style (one paragraph)

His work was not original, but he brought it to a whole new level, in each one of his titles. The idea for Resident Evil (better known as Biohazard in Japan), was based off of the classic video game called Sweet Home. The idea for the monsters was based off of George A. Romero's Dead movies. His style is very edgy, and he always has to outdo himself from the previous game in the series.
