'Evil' can function as a noun. So, 'Resident Evil' presumably refers to some form of evil (noun) that is living with you. If you know the game, you will know better than I.

I agree with your answer, but I'm confused why you would end the sentence with "I."

Wouldn't it sound better if you were to say "than I do," "than me," or "than myself?"

Thank you!

Wouldn't it sound better if you were to say "than I do," "than me," or "than myself?"

Thank you!

No, it's all right to say '... than I'. :lol:

better than I = better than I do/am etc
better than he = better than he does/is etc

In such instances, the final verb is unnecessary as it will already have been given earlier in the sentence.

I'm sure there are plenty of people here who are interested in video games, but that's not what we're here for!

Please note my amendments above. You need to remember to put a space after every full stop and every comma (and all other punctuation marks except an opening bracket).
