20 Things Only Resident Evil Fans Will Understand

2. Ada Wong Is The Sexiest Woman In Computer Gaming

First introduced in Resident Evil 2, Ada Wong is an intriguing character who is probably the most interesting of the recurring female characters in the game, thanks to that intangible doubt that followed her €“ can she be trusted? Just who is she working for? It appears at the end of the game that Ada falls to her death, however fans liked her so much, death was nixed and she has been an iconic staple of the Resident Evil character canon. She was most interesting in Resident Evil 6, but before that, in Resident Evil 4 she manages to do her acrobatics and killing in a sexy, slashed to the upper thigh dress with her trusty gun tucked into a garter. Much more complex and interesting than Lara Croft with her big square boobs.

1. You Become Perversely Fond Of Nemesis

Not blessed with handsome looks, Nemesis is a behemoth of a bad guy €“ swift as lightning on his feet and frequently carrying a rocket launcher just to liven things up. His whole purpose is to hunt down and kill STARS members, which is bad news for the player as he relentlessly pursues you throughout the game. At first, you will scream and run away from him when he appears or when you hear the ominous music that announces his presence. But as you get better at the game, you may try to engage him in combat and dodge his attacks, all the while shooting him, which is a good idea as his prone body yields many goodies. After a while, you begin to enjoy the adrenaline factor Nemesis injects into the game and he loses that edge. But he remains the best of all of the Resident Evil monsters and he absolutely deserves his billing. Are you a fan of Resident Evil? Share your favourite moments in the comments thread below.
