A very good game wich tests your puzzle solvng skills as well as your will to survive. Although many games have spawned to take the horror throne, there is always a place for Resident Evil. Recently the series lost the zombies, but smart super-human creatures and monsters are a hell of allot tougher to defeat than dumb zombies and semi-smart lickers.
RE will never be bad enough to make some of its fans loose intrest, and the game just keeps getting better and better

Hunnigan: Ive sent you a playing manual.

A kick-arse video game series (albeit with corny dialogue that's gradually geting less corny each time round), a series of bloody good books by S.D. Perry and two better than average films.
I don't care what anybody else says I think Resident Evil is much better than Tomb Raider.
Jill: Barry!
Barry: What is it?
Jill: Watch out, it's a monster!
Barry: Let me take care of this!
That part always cracks me up

A great PSone game which is still great to play today. Involves a special unit called the S.T.A.R.S. team being sent to the Racoon forests to investigate what happened to a Bravo team who were investigating a series of bizarre murders (done by zombies). They find a downed helicopter with all the equipment inside, but none of the members. When they search for clues, a certain individual named Joseph Frost finds A SEVERED HAND(!). He then gets chewed to bits by a pretty nasty dog. They then all run for a scary looking mansion (bad move) and hide inside it.
What follows is a 10 year old game (at time of print) still going pretty damn strong. Even though the notoriously bad dialogue is even worse today, and even though some of it isn't as scary, some parts are still very, very creepy. The music in the hall still sends shivers down my spine. And when you discover the first zombie? A classic sequence.
Graphically, Resident Evil is relatively still extremely good. Considerung this game is 10 YEARS OLD, it looks pretty fine.
If you do see an old copy of Resi going for cheap, do not hesitate to pick it up. It is a genuinely brilliant game. It may have lost a lot of the sparkle it had in 1996, it's still has the elements which made it so great in the first place. Even though this game has had several sequels, to my mind, the original PSone game is the best. The claustrophobic, trapped feel of the mansion hasn't really been done again in the whole seires since, as it moved on to bigger, more epic locations.
A great game.
'You go check for clues, Jill. I'll be here examining this (a pool of blood)'
'Barry, thank you for saving my life.'
Classic.
