I was torn between RE2 and RE4
Re4 was the first resident evil game I ever played and the moment I started playing I could tell I was on the very edge of greatness, over the next several months I slowly goatherd all the games I could except for "Code Vernocia"(why wasn't that on the list) I found RE2 to be the best of all the old style fixed camera position games. The only reason I picked RE4 was I found the game much scarier then RE2, I know If I had played it when it was first relised I would have enjoyed it much more but I can't. So I picked RE4 but RE2 was such a close second I consider them both to be the best a Resident Evil game can be.
