Top 7 Resident Evil Games

With Resident Evil 6 hitting stores later this year, it's fitting to revisit the franchise and have a look back at the games that made Resident Evil a popular name. From a simple mansion exploration to ass-kicking in Africa, the Resident Evil games have plenty of varied settings and also have a variety of mainstay characters that have become synonymous with the series. A word of notice here that this list may contain SPOILERS for the games. Enough of that for the intro, let's get into the list:

7. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

Starting off our list is the third game in the series, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. The most memorable aspect of this game was the inclusion of Nemesis, a giant tyrant-like monster that would chase you around as you explored areas. You played primarily as Jill Valentine, a returning character from Resident Evil 1, wearing a slightly sexier tube top compared to her S.T.A.R.S. uniform in the original game. Whilst a lot of people point to Resident Evil 4 as being the first title in the RE universe to embrace the 'action' genre, RE3 was a small step in that direction anyway. Not only was there the chase sequences with Nemesis, players also had the ability to dodge attacks and quickly turn 180-degrees. All of which were new to the series. RE3's plot centers around Jill basically trying to escape from Raccoon City. She meets a few other survivors along the way, and depending on player choices, can receive one of two different endings. Regardless of choice though, Raccoon City will still be decimated by a nuclear missile. Overall, RE3 was a bit lackluster. Aside from Nemesis chasing you around, the game doesn't have many other memorable moments; unlike the previous two games. The gameplay and puzzles were similar too, but the game lacked the same drive that pushed gamers to enjoy the earlier entries. Click "next" below to read the next entry...
