"*Uses unusually deep voice* Resident Evil"

Completed that a couple of days back and its the first time I have ever really got into a Resident Evil game. Did it with Chris first seeing as it was meant to be more of a challenge and I did find it very enjoyable especially shoving a flash grenade into a Crimson Heads mouth and watching his head explode.

Love and my local Gamestation are selling 0,2 and 3 for 30 pounds so im pretty sure im going to be set for a while.

The frogs!

The horror or them erased them from my mind.

I was petrified of them, they were evil.

MUST buy these again. Curse my short-term demands!

Let's all wait until 2005, then Resi 4 will rock the horror genre of games for years to come. It's looking truly amazing and will probably scare the crap out of most people who play it.

Resident Evil 4 will be a turn in the Resident Evil tide.

The biggest third party release on Cube.. evarr.

I'd never actually played unchartered territory of a Resident Evil game at 4 a.m. on my own with all the lights off before I tried it the other night.


I didn't realise I was such a wuss.

Bigger than Sonic, the Resi remake, Crystal Chronicles and MGS put together.

Finished it last night. Not a bad game. I think I still probably prefer 2 though.

I'm not a massive fan of 2 or 3... it's by far the most casual gamers choice...

But lacked the secluded factor.

Nah, 2 was brilliant. It still held the fresh features of the original, but improved all the usual areas (ie graphics, more atmospheric sound) and had more innovative elements - like the machine gun and extra inventory slots decision; do you take them now, or leave them for the second phase of the game with the other character? It brought in secondary characters like Ada, Ben, and the sherriff (or whatever he was) who were not only playable in parts but actually meant something to the storyline. Plus there was also the T100 (or whatever he was, again) who followed you round in a Nemesis style during the second scenario. There was more longevity to it as you played through two scenarios for both characters - essentially four versions of the game.

The selling point of three was mainly the Nemesis element, which I found strange because it had already been done in the second. There were the active game choices though, that added something new. Also the whole mixing gunpowder to get bullets thing - although to be honest I wasn't too impressed with that. If any of them are more the "casual" gamer's choice I'd say this one, because there's just the one initial game to play through. That doesn't really do it justice though, what with the in game decisions and all.

Code: Veronica I'm not really a fan of. Introducing 3D instead of pre-rendered backgrounds wasn't a good move. And you can tell they didn't want to do anything drastic for a Dreamcast-only game because it really doesn't make all that much difference to the storyline. It does have its own distinctive style though, and wasn't bad to play through.

The remake was excellent. Excellent.

Zero was also good, although like I say, I preferred 2 and the remake.

Whoops, didn't mean to scare everyone away.
