OnePlus Nord review: Who needs a pricey flagship anyway?

The film offers few narrative surprises with a near textbookfollowing of standard horrortropes. But drumroll please, I wasmoderately entertained from start to finish. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City has a capable protagonist that makes the most of dropping F-bombs and splattering zombie brains....

Pleasant enough these scenes may well be to look at and at least appealing to the kind of user that puts such things like proportions at the bottom of one’s priorities....
