Kennedy, as he tries to rescue the president’s daughter from a weird cult in Spain, it’s also the first to not include zombies as the default enemy. Prior to its release the concept of third person shooters existed only in a few niche games, but Resident Evil 4 went on to influence Gears Of War and basically every other game where you shoot a gun but not from a first person perspective. Regardless of its place in the Resident Evil chronology, Resident Evil 4 is a must play simply because it’s one of the best, and most influential, video games of all time. The remake is a near perfect combination of new and old style Resident Evil and if you only play one entry in the series it should probably be this one. They each have their own slightly different storylines that you play separately, using many of the same locations but adding unique encounters as well. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, sister of Chris.

Resident Evil 2 is the first appearance of would-be police rookie Leon S. It’s a classic example of the bigger, better, more approach to making sequels and the recent remake features some staggeringly good graphics and a more modern third person camera system. Resident Evil 2 is very similar in style and structure to the first game but expands the action to include the whole (well, some) of Racoon City, with the curiously old-fashioned looking police station filling in for the Spencer Mansion at the beginning of the game and more revelations about pharmaceutical company Umbrella. Settling on what counts as the best Resident Evil game is not easy, with 1, 2, and 4 all in the running for different reasons.
