I was playing a good ol' bit of Resident Evil last night, in the dark, till about 2am. As I never played the PSX version, It’s kind of a new game for me...
And it’s bloody brilliant.
When I first got the game, I hated the fixed camera, I couldn’t get used to controlling my character for a while, but now, No problems. I must admit, the graphics are awesome - So what if they are Pre-Renders, They look amazing, and so does the character models.
Anyway, I was playing last night, in the dark....And it was seriously scaring the living daylights outta me! The sense of isolation in the mansion is really well executed, Echoing footsteps, thunder and lightning, it makes you feel so alone and isolated from the outside world! Brilliant! Dogs hurling themselves through windows, Zombies appearing from nowhere and those annoying Crimson heads, But still they make the game a "thrill"/ a surge of adrenaline. I've never seen a game with such an involving storyline, the mysterious nature of Barry and the secrets of the Mansion, It’s so good!
The weapons are the coolest thing known to man, its great kicking some mutant butt with the Grenade launcher, or blasting those damn dogs with a shotgun. Oh and the stun gun, I think everyone needs one of them, seeing smoke bellow from a zombies body after its been electrocuted is quite an impressive graphical effect.
But I think the main thing that I like about this game is the puzzles, they get the ol' brain box into gear, And it’s a great sense of achievement when you solve them! Like last night, a mutant plant was in a greenhouse, and an object I required was located on the other side of the room, shooting it does no good. But there is a water-pumping device nearby, and I have some herbicide, put that in the water pump and turn it on. Voila! Again, I emphasize the word "brilliant"
Ah yes, I recommend this game to anyone who hasn’t got it, or anyone who has just got a Gamecube. It’s scary.

Oh, And what the hell is the "Blue Diamond" and the "Wind Crest" for?
Wind Crest is a side puzzle.
You use it to get the Magnum, you can put it in one of the graves in the graveyard.

The blue diamond should go in the Tigers eye socket. You put the yellow diamond in the other socket.
In Resident Evil Zero I have found around 20 rounds of magnum ammo but have yet to come across the gun, can anyone that has found this gun tell me if I should have it by now please.
I am currently about to go through a door using a leech object as a key that was inside the capsule Billy found.

Sorry to say but i was crap at the the REmake cuz i havent even got to the first save but then i want to buy cuz people keep sayin that its easier than the first and im thinkin shud i buy it but then if i do wot if i cant do it.In the end it would be a waste of money.
I shoved the blue diamond into that tiger thing and got some shotgun shells outta it.
Where is the yellow diamond located? Is it further on into the game? I've gained the Assault shotgun and kicked that snakes rear, until it ran off with Richard in its belly....

Don't worry, the Magnum in Zero is foud on the dead body in the cable car, just after the leech door bits.
