RE 1 and 2 are the good ones.
all others are just fast shooters. the scary is gone.
there was a certain spook and challenging aspect to not seeing an enemy for 2 hours, then when you do you have to barely kill him with the few handgun bullets you have.
RE games now just load you up with TONS of huge guns. nothing survival horror about that. its just any shooter you have ever played, with zombie models instead of aliens/police/gangsters/space invaders
