As for 4, I too have just started playing it. I can understand how people thought it was either what made or broke the series as a whole. I'm not a huge fan of the control scheme and the whole "laser sight aiming" thing that they do, but I appreciate that it does focus on action. I prefer the survival over the horror, I just never got into "scary" games. I kind of suck at shooters though so the punishment for wasting bullets does not get lost on me. :/ I'm only on Chapter 2-2 and I can't believe I still haven't found any shotgun shells. SRSLY!!

It didn't break the series but put it in a new direction. The only reason the older games where scary was the way the camera angle was but it was more of a purposeful drawback.
"You can't see what's ahead because of the camera angle" isn't really fair but it's why it's scary. (Unless you've played the game a lot and know the location of each enemy and pattern). RE4 (at the time) was revolutionary for shooters though slightly dated by todays mechanics, but it still holds up pretty well. RE5 has some of the best graphics I've seen this generation with a stronger emphasis on the Umbrella story with great new characters like Sheva and Excella Gionne. It wasn't scary like RE4 though. Also I prefer the inventory system of RE5 than RE4.

Too many 'tards moan about how it lost it's touch with RE4 and usually those people haven't even played it.

Also, the unboxing of the Collectors Edition of RE6:



As stated before I love the RE series. More than any other Capcom franchise including Street Fighter. But, damn £120 for that!? Cancelling my pre-order for it tomorrow. Stupidly over priced(but that's Capcom).

Lastly, set a new personal best for Speedrunning RE4. (1:56, going for 1:52).
