OF THE YEAR

RESIDENT
EVIL 2 NISSAN LEAF
The fact that the reimagining of a 21-year-old
title has won this award might seem to indicate
a slow year for games. But Resident Evil 2 is so
much more than a remake. Capcom rebuilt its
PS classic from the ground up using RE7’s RE
engine, replacing the old static camera angles
with a modern third-person over-the-shoulder
view. It looks and feels fantastic, without
sacrificing any of the original’s unbearable
tension and jump scares.
Whether you’re scribbling down codes to help
you with a puzzle, kneecapping zombies or just
running as fast as your legs will allow (note: not
very fast) from the nightmarish Mr X, Resident
Evil 2 is never less than a thrill ride.
Just because something sells well doesn’t
necessarily make it any good – just look at
Ed Sheeran. But despite shifting more than
400,000 worldwide – more than any other
leccy motor – the Nissan Leaf is very much
not the Ed Sheeran of electric cars.
As well as offering up to 239 miles on a charge,
the Leaf is packed with the kind of tech you
wouldn’t expect from such an affordable
family car – for a start it can park itself, and
ProPilot will pretty much drive it for you.
It’s also spacious, practical and all those
other boring things you have to worry about
when buying a car. Just don’t try challenging
a Tesla to a drag race.from £16 / PS4, Xbox One, PC from £26,345 / nissan.co.ukNOMINEES
