Quick question for tech whizzes.

So, I just bought Resident Evil 4 for my computer. However, it's 7 gigs and I don't have the space. I'm wondering if I can buy an external drive and run the game from it... Is that possible?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, seriously, Gamecubes are dirt cheap now.

But to help, yes, you can run it from an external HD. Just install it, and check your "My Computer" folder for the new drive letter.

Excellent. *rubs hands together*

Thanks, dude. I'm off to Future Shop!

Not in the reviews I've read. Besides, I could happily play Resident Evil on an Atari.

Apparently the PC controls are among the worst ones ever made.

Any action computer game played on a keyboard is not going to offer as good performance as a gamepad. I think most PC gamers have dropped $20 on a gamepad at this point, though...
