And it turns out that it's not as easy as it sounds. Already we've been stuck in a creepy mansion, zombie-filled small town, laboratory, Europe, a moving train and on a haunted island. We're fast approaching a time where there won't be any creepy locations left for Resident Evil. But don't worry, because over the past few months Capcom has sent out a group of Resident Evil "experts" to pick the perfect locale for a seventh installment. This is their journey!

Between demonizing men and stereotyping women, these low-budget movies end up helping nobody.

This has been an on-going problem for the better part of thirty years. We thought it might be fun to take a look at some of the most egregious examples of Capcom's typos, spanning from 1985 to present day. These ten examples prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, Capcom needs to hire somebody who knows how to use a dictionary. See how back it can get when you read Capcom Typos Through the Decades!

Do yourself a favor and stay far, far away from these retail outlets.
