This is the definitive behind-the-scenes account of Capcom's horror video game series Resident Evil—one of the most popular, innovative, and widely influential franchises of all time.

He explores how its unexpected and unprecedented success saved the company from financial trouble, how the series struggled at the turn of the century, and eventually, how a new generation of creators was born after the release of Resident Evil 4.

Itchy, Tasty narrates the development of each Resident Evil game released between 1996 and 2006. The book is interspersed with fascinating commentary from the game creators themselves, offering unique insight into how the series became the world-conquering franchise it is today.
