10 Video Games That Don't Get The Love They Deserve

10. Resident Evil - Code: Veronica

Given the discourse around console timed exclusivity, let's have a look at an early entry that really upset fans back at the turn of the century. Resident Evil, despite a launch on the Sega Saturn too, became synonymous with the PlayStation.

So when it came to the next generation of Resident Evil, the logical expectation was that it'd be on the PS2. Instead, it was announced for the Sega Dreamcast, an already-failing console. That didn't help Code: Veronica's reception, initially.

But looking back on it, Code: Veronica still holds up as one of the more credible, canonical entries in the convoluted timeline of Resident Evil's history. It has all the hallmarks of a "traditional" game: the tank controls, nonsensical puzzles that make no practical sense, as well as tough boss fights.

Yet today it still gets regarded as the black sheep, despite making more sense and being faithful than say, Resident Evil 6 does. Perhaps now it's harder to get into, as any old Resident Evil is given that we've had remakes and reboots, but that doesn't make it any less an important entry in what we can call "classic Resident Evil".

However, we can't apologise for Steve Burnside though. That kid's annoying.
