Why
Formed in 2003, The New Gamer was established to provide a different critical perspective on videogames. We scrutinize the whole game, what it has to say, how the separate elements effect the player, and what each game brings to the burgeoning field of interactive entertainment. Simply put, we like to write about games.

Not always the case! In fact, most fans of the Resident Evil franchise have adopted a "if it didn't happen in a cutscene, it didn't happen" mentality to protect themselves from the constantly contradicting logic of those games.
Still, I tend to agree. Seeing Dante fall over in the same "knees to the ground, face plant" manner a thousand times during Devil May Cry does chuff my wad a bit. It's a far cry from the visceral punishments doled out by, say, Out of This World.
