The Moment: After being attacked by rabid dogs and fleeing to a nearby abandoned mansion, you discover one of your team is missing. A gunshot can be heard and the character you are playing as goes to investigate. Of course, we'€™re the character who is delegated with the task of investigating. We always get the short straw...

The sight that greets us is one that struck fear in the hearts of gamers the world over. The way the zombie looks at you is intensely haunting as well as powerful.

How Is It Powerful? This was the first time we had seen the enemy plaguing the characters of Resident Evil. It is the face that launched a thousand sequels (to use the Homeric terminology) as well as a film franchise. While it won'€™t be gracing the covers of Vogue any time soon, it is one of the most memorable faces of the last two decades. For gamers, at least.
