So yesterday I counted down my 10 Favourite Games Featured on the GAmeFAQs.com Game of the Decade List. You can read that by clicking <a href="http://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2020/04/my-top-10-games-featured-on-gamefaqscom.html">here</a>.

That's a lot of games to be fair. But for me, there were some omissions that deserved some love. This is not taking away anything from the 128 games on the list, these are wonderful games, but I just felt that some other games needed highlighting too. So without any further delay, here are my Top 10 Games of the Decade NOT featured on that list.<br /></b></span></font><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2"><br /></font></b></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><font face="arial" size="4">#10: Armello</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="arial" size="2"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Available On: </b></span><span style="text-align: left;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><b>PC, Playstation 4, XBox One, Nintendo Switch</b></font></span></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">Original Release: 2015</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">My Rating: ****1/4 stars</font></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLyec-_zBJURZM3Hy0M8jka9akwwzGd0r0hzUUVYc31EMTQB0353Gp20GNHSjTDymKiuAgAZKYYtmz8D8suwWDD0Lfv9y07K38aa3b5K24UKYxqGX1ic1Qv3PlhPBhbYF9g8KLpBMPvMk/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="arial" size="2"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1064" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLyec-_zBJURZM3Hy0M8jka9akwwzGd0r0hzUUVYc31EMTQB0353Gp20GNHSjTDymKiuAgAZKYYtmz8D8suwWDD0Lfv9y07K38aa3b5K24UKYxqGX1ic1Qv3PlhPBhbYF9g8KLpBMPvMk/s320/Armello_PC_Best_Games_Decade_GameFAQs.jpg" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2">My friend and sister both got me into Armello and I must say it's been a heck of a treat, playing this game. Armello does the perfect job in combining board games with online game play, the way the game plays out you genuinely wouldn't put it past the idea that the game was a board game before a video game. The truth is it's not, it's purely an online game. It had mixed to positive reviews on release but has since developed a strong cult fan base. If you want to try a different strategy RPG style board game, definitely give this a try. It's definitely best played online.</font></span></div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2"><br /></font></b></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><font face="arial" size="4">#9: Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="arial"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Available On: </b></span></font><span style="text-align: left;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>PC, Playstation 4, XBox One, Nintendo Switch</b></font></span></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">Original Release: 2017</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">My Rating: ****1/4 stars</font></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZSvI_Xh3Y5liZ1ZNpexvgEeDr34FlZ_mik3fmLfmxKx6lb2AbkEH3GIXPPAHlgvdwQBMMIiBqIzClOAWTiYac6T4TTStjVV7aBKwlyDhuOseiDleUeEfrkq0DjCqKgfx9cR1E-H1m0Ws/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="483" data-original-width="381" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZSvI_Xh3Y5liZ1ZNpexvgEeDr34FlZ_mik3fmLfmxKx6lb2AbkEH3GIXPPAHlgvdwQBMMIiBqIzClOAWTiYac6T4TTStjVV7aBKwlyDhuOseiDleUeEfrkq0DjCqKgfx9cR1E-H1m0Ws/s320/Crash%2523-Bandicoot_N.Sane_N_Sane_Trilogy_PS4_Game_Decade_GameFAQs.jpg" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2">I've reviewed this game for this website, you can view it <a href="https://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2017/07/game-review-crash-bandicoot-n-sane.html">here</a>.</font></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2">I was disappointed when I discovered that neither Crash Bandicoot Trilogy Remaster or Spyro Trilogy Remaster made the GameFAQs list, disappointed and a little surprised. A lot of GameFAQs users are actually a similar age to me (*coughs* early thirties *coughs*) so nostalgia does have a place in some of these placements. Both trilogies were solid remasters and done very well, and for me, Crash Bandicoot just edges it. I think Activision had a difficult job on their hands, ensuring that the games they were remastering were treated will the utmost care, because it wasn't their games when they were released in the late nineties. But they did it complete justice; the gameplay felt fresh yet almost identical to the original, and the addition of certain levels as free DLC and doing the Relic challenges on all three games were lovely touches.</font></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><font face="arial" size="4">#8: Rogue Legacy</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="arial"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font size="2">Available On: </font></b></span><span style="text-align: left;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>PC, Playstation 3, PS Vita, Playstation 4, XBox One, Nintendo Switch</b></font></span></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">Original Release: 2013</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">My Rating: ****1/4 stars</font></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVPulI7aPcHMZP1UyF5DajRhBocsxblkzPQBRNzpaYTtu-FMnHpDBZTJGztrGUFWDX-hNVqSBuvR16c9spEUS59aJHpNyKx-IhFgjogAHB6X-wOccCh8plttFhZjpmds9s5o1aptG2I-g/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="447" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVPulI7aPcHMZP1UyF5DajRhBocsxblkzPQBRNzpaYTtu-FMnHpDBZTJGztrGUFWDX-hNVqSBuvR16c9spEUS59aJHpNyKx-IhFgjogAHB6X-wOccCh8plttFhZjpmds9s5o1aptG2I-g/s320/Rogue_Legacy_PS3_Game_Decade_GameFAQs.jpg" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The first time I heard about this game was actually by my son, he must have been four at the time - genuinely. He said that his Mum plays it at her house and I should give it a go. And honestly, it's a tremendous game. It's a rogue metroidvania game where you try and rescue the king in a randomly generated castle dungeon. You are likely to die many times playing through the game, and every time you do, your child tries to redeem your death, taking your abilities and coin forward to the next generation. It's very child friendly, at moments very funny and has a surprisingly deeper plot than it lets on at the beginning. It's well worth your time if you want to play a platformer that you may not have heard of before.</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="arial"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><font size="4">#7: </font></b></span><span style="text-align: left;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="4"><b>Doki Doki Literature Club!</b></font></span></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">Available On: PC</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">Original Release: 2017</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">My Rating: ****1/4 stars</font></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRBoMdPDBjACuGTF82xQ68VJLhZDAQij2jGC5udRJU4f4PU6jWGZtWqYhwKTp2BgvFS0aOjB7yukr2inG06zFuMGOy1mvDKXtt8D-i5XaXcONASJrzc2HwQSwIDLUAWPef6kgGL0hxkkc/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="255" data-original-width="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRBoMdPDBjACuGTF82xQ68VJLhZDAQij2jGC5udRJU4f4PU6jWGZtWqYhwKTp2BgvFS0aOjB7yukr2inG06zFuMGOy1mvDKXtt8D-i5XaXcONASJrzc2HwQSwIDLUAWPef6kgGL0hxkkc/" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2">I implore you, if you have a PC and a Steam account, download this game.

Out of the two experiences, I would have thought a lot of fans would have chosen Limbo, it's the original, it has a stronger art design and it made a much bigger impact upon release. Both games are incredible of course. If you want to play a game that looks absolutely stunning, full of puzzles and traps, lots of great atmospheric ambience then give this game a go. It's available very cheap nowadays. Again it's not the longest game in the world and can be finished in a few hours, but it's truly a wonderful experience with a plot that has been the topic of many a discussion to what the game truly is about and how it can be interpreted in many ways.</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><font face="arial" size="4">#5: Outlast</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="arial"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font size="2">Available On: </font></b></span><span style="text-align: left;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>PC, Playstation 4, XBox One, Nintendo Switch</b></font></span></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">Original Release: 2013</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">My Rating: ****1/4 stars</font></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiixuUZ-0Jk0uPp7GdvKbIpI5m2InAJB2Rc4j0RhLzv6A20bU6q61g0pTjl_n0zY-ZRXaByvCf_OcU1refW5YX61Ys2eGAhTc3a7j6ay0D1J44xPnorsuE90zVc_EPOS2de06GvmdMA9t8/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="494" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiixuUZ-0Jk0uPp7GdvKbIpI5m2InAJB2Rc4j0RhLzv6A20bU6q61g0pTjl_n0zY-ZRXaByvCf_OcU1refW5YX61Ys2eGAhTc3a7j6ay0D1J44xPnorsuE90zVc_EPOS2de06GvmdMA9t8/s320/Outlast_PC_Best_Games_Decade_GameFAQs.jpg" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">When it comes to games on this list that truly surprised me that didn't make the cut, Outlast is definitely up there. While Resident Evil 7 made the list, there are true claims to be made that Resi 7 may not have existed the way it did if it wasn't for the likes of Outlast and PT having the impact they did. PT isn't a game but a demo of course, but Outlast was released and scared the absolute bejeezus out of people. It's truly a terrifying game that needs to be played. It showed horror fans a revitalised way of playing scary games, with the use of darkness, gritty graphics, and feeling truly defenceless. Outlast's camera and battery finding system really was a stroke of genius. Of course Outlast II upped the ante, but for me, the Outlast is the better experience, but both are worth a visit for horror fans.</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><font face="arial" size="4">#4: Until Dawn</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">Available On: Playstation 4</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">Original Release: 2015</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">My Rating: ****1/4 stars</font></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeCwJadgqFj9OJIizE5GxNCSIL_KKcP7dC8I7XTqnriRymZCxXwgslzRfhquobPgrMA23m0tY_U9M3FDNRjHYrEyQi2HKd6ojmOEFWqCjePd8kvmzlSKuey2TT6tlqjTs5aS_wJF95FgM/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="1486" data-original-width="1173" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeCwJadgqFj9OJIizE5GxNCSIL_KKcP7dC8I7XTqnriRymZCxXwgslzRfhquobPgrMA23m0tY_U9M3FDNRjHYrEyQi2HKd6ojmOEFWqCjePd8kvmzlSKuey2TT6tlqjTs5aS_wJF95FgM/s320/Until_Dawn_PS4_Games_Decade_GameFAQs.jpg" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">When it comes to a polished horror experience, look no further than Until Dawn. This game mixes novel narration with horror to perfection. Again, I'm very surprised it didn't make the cut because many fans were surprised by how solid this game was. Until Dawn is probably the best "horror cliche" movie turned into video game ever made. What Heavy Rain did for murder and spy drama movies, Until Dawn does with horror movies. It takes its sweet time introducing you to these friends with different personalities and gives you the opportunity to see them all survive or die in the game. It has many great sequences and plenty of gory deaths on offer. Until Dawn is a must play for horror fans in a very different way to how Outlast was above.</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><font face="arial" size="4">#3: Final Fantasy XIII</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="arial"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font size="2">Available On: </font></b></span><span style="text-align: left;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>PC, Playstation 3, XBox 360</b></font></span></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">Original Release: 2010</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">My Rating: ****1/2 stars</font></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7DoZuRQoqmPErn2kTonV5m_oMhUTKOTpLwShPLm9G4ovPTJ-VlbRYAqCBxh5vQxPzUXwsaNpbFFbYQ1fDrSCKUI2Om8Ne4WQqZQsIB6H6hPciReB80Oez5ilzprE0vvGNnmwRjLHsqGo/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="445" data-original-width="316" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7DoZuRQoqmPErn2kTonV5m_oMhUTKOTpLwShPLm9G4ovPTJ-VlbRYAqCBxh5vQxPzUXwsaNpbFFbYQ1fDrSCKUI2Om8Ne4WQqZQsIB6H6hPciReB80Oez5ilzprE0vvGNnmwRjLHsqGo/s320/Final_Fantasy_XIII_13_XBox_360_Games_Decade_GameFAQs.jpg" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial"><span style="font-size: small;">I've reviewed this game for this website, you can vie</span><font size="2">w it <a href="https://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2012/01/game-review-final-fantasy-xiii.html">here</a>.</font></font></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2">I know this entry will divide people, it divides more Final Fantasy fans than any other entry in the series. I was surprised to see Final Fantasy XV in the 128 games cut but not XIII. For me it's a solid Final Fantasy experience. Is it perfect? No. Is it linear? Yes. But I love the battle system and the story, when you break it down is incredible. The stagger system that's getting so much love in Final Fantasy VII Remake stemmed from the very same stagger system that FF13 introduced. A lot of fans are torn on this game, in the same way why they were torn on XII - for me XIII is a much better game than XII. I'll leave it at that.</font></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="arial" size="4"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>#2: </b></span><span style="text-align: left;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors</b></font></span></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="arial"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font size="2">Available On: </font></b></span><span style="text-align: left;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>PC, PS Vita, Playstation 4, Nintendo DS</b></font></span></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">Original Release: 2010</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">My Rating: ****1/2 stars</font></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg-5kOW_GwCJOnIEWPvoK5YJCMYt1a0tZVHGtUeKFmXq_RwXy3KGs8DiqfzOu3TdjdzcSukza_737FF2MAkQyVG3nw9a98bpnPI5_7eAPHxG78X94ILt6dHsu-5Nszuh2zgsYSDB0nn9U/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="678" data-original-width="761" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg-5kOW_GwCJOnIEWPvoK5YJCMYt1a0tZVHGtUeKFmXq_RwXy3KGs8DiqfzOu3TdjdzcSukza_737FF2MAkQyVG3nw9a98bpnPI5_7eAPHxG78X94ILt6dHsu-5Nszuh2zgsYSDB0nn9U/s320/999_Nine_Hours_Nine_Persons_Nine_Doors_Nintendo_DS_Games_Decade_GameFAQs.jpg" width="320" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I was pleasantly surprised when I read that Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward made the 128 games shortlist. I never expected any of the Zero Escape games to make the list because they have such a cult following. For me, the original game was the best of the trilogy and is a must when it comes to a starting point in this trilogy. If you want to try something different, definitely give the Zero Escape games a go. These games are Japanese visual novels with puzzle gameplay, but have some of the strongest narrative I've ever seen in a video game. In this game nine people are kidnapped and placed on a boat to play a game. The nine people all have numbered bracelets and must try and find ways to survive and escape the ship. Why are they on the boat? What do they have in common? Who kidnapped them and why? It's a great game that is terribly underrated. Do yourself a favour too and don't spoil the game for yourself, play through the games blind in order, starting with this one. The twists and turns throughout the gameplay will keep you guessing throughout the whole game in terms of what is going on.</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><font face="arial" size="4">#1: Detroit: Become Human</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">Available On: PC, Playstation 4</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">Original Release: 2018</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><font face="arial" size="2">My Rating: ****1/2 stars</font></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDmO3vxt0IGQqn3bfnHVWj1jNfKqd5zE1pjvArbeFlM0OZQij5-tjblKahHvVHT6xWFy2zfqajnLf7nkg-L4QaCEfv2I9pdkCp85ClnOVif7rz_3-tsAETsFXiO_zBvc0QFCyb9M_o3cs/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="542" data-original-width="425" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDmO3vxt0IGQqn3bfnHVWj1jNfKqd5zE1pjvArbeFlM0OZQij5-tjblKahHvVHT6xWFy2zfqajnLf7nkg-L4QaCEfv2I9pdkCp85ClnOVif7rz_3-tsAETsFXiO_zBvc0QFCyb9M_o3cs/s320/Detroit_Become_Human_PS4_Game_Decade_GameFAQs.jpg" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2">When it comes to defining gaming moments of the decade, Detroit Become Human is very high on my list. I was very happy to see Heavy Rain make the 128 cut, but disappointed when I discovered this game didn't. Is it better than Heavy Rain? Many fans don't think so, but I do. What I love so much about this game is that it creates a bleak but equally possible future for humanity and robots. Robots have taken jobs and will continue to do so. There will be a time in the future when robots will be able to do things to make our lives even easier. Will robots ever become sentient? Many think so. The choices available in this game for its three robots really tests you as a person. Do you want them to be slaves to humans? Should they be sentient? There's that and so much more in this game. I cried during moments of this game in ways I haven't done for a long long time. I have no shame in that. It moved me in so many ways and I'm so thankful to have had this game in my life and it truly was one of the best gaming experiences of this decade, and deserves much more attention.</font></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="arial" size="2"><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoyed the list.

Despite certain articles I've written suggesting otherwise, I do still have a lot of time for GameFAQs and love participating in their tournaments.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For me, this game is terribly underrated. I had so much fun playing it, for me it's one of the funniest games ever created. If you're a South Park fan, and you love RPG games, it's a MUST play. It looks and feels like South Park, and the combat system, while takes a lot of inspiration from Final Fantasy X, is solid. It truly was a spectacular game.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I first heard about the Zero Escape games probably about 2 or 3 years ago. I saw the trailer for the first game (Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors) and pencilled it as a game I wanted to play at some point. I actually only played through the games back in December of last year.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm telling you now - get the Nonary Games. It's available on PC or PS4. The games are simply incredible when it comes to storytelling, plot twists and keeping you on your toes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it comes to individual titles in the series, Virtue's Last Reward is arguably the most famous of the trilogy, but for me, "999" is a better game. That takes nothing away from this title, it's a solid title and well worth your time. The puzzles are intricately detailed and, as stated above, the story is fantastic. My advice however would be to play them in order, although they are an experience individually too.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is another game that took me longer to finish than it should. All the Walking Dead video games by Telltale Games are fantastic but unfortunately they couldn't improve on the first series. The story between Lee and Clementine is so beautiful, you forget these are fictional characters. It almost feels real, responding to Clementine's difficult questions during this apocalyptic zombie world. It's a shame that Telltale Games probably won't be making any more games, because I truly don't know if they made a bad game, sure there's some that are better than others, and perhaps none better than this first season of Walking Dead, but they really did know how to work this multichoice narrative style of gaming.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll confess to never having a PS3, in that one generation of gaming I changed my allegiances to the XBox 360. There was always one game that was, at the time, a PS3 exclusive that I always wanted to play, and that was Heavy Rain. It wasn't until it was bundled with Beyond Two Souls and put on PS4 that I finally got to play this absolute gem. When it comes to doing a game in the style of a movie, this game really, for me, is the first to do the narrative drama perfectly. The visuals are stunning for 2010, the music is incredibly fully of suspense, the characters are well acted and animated and, of course, the choices you make were difficult to make and lead to some brilliant plot twists. Heavy Rain truly pioneered this genre and the game still plays brilliantly today.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Resident Evil 7 returned the series to its roots and boy it delivered well. The game really did go above and beyond grossing us out and making us feel tense again. It had been such a long time since we had those feelings and it was so good. Sure, the game, as it goes on, gets less nervy but in fairness most horror games fall into that trap. I genuinely didn't see the plot twist coming at the end of the game and all the characters played their parts very well. It's well worth your time if you want a fantastic horror game on the modern consoles.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can imagine some people being surprised that this game "only" got to #5 in my list considering how popular it is. Don't get me wrong this is a blockbuster title and an instant classic. My main issue with this game is that I truly don't think that Rockstar have really elevated the series since San Andreas. That takes nothing away by how damn good it is, but I can honestly say that this game doesn't add much more than the PS2 era games. That all being said it's an absolutely brilliant game, and the best thing about it for me is the three main characters, and, of course, particularly Trevor Phillips, who has become one of the best video game characters of all time. The dialogue, atmosphere and tensions between the three characters is truly a joy to watch and is the main reason why the game is so good. Heists are a big ball of joy too, and some of the side missions are hilarious.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For me, this is THE most complete Pokemon game ever made. I always loved Pokemon Gold and Silver on the Game Boy Color, and loved how it was the only games in the series that allowed you to go to two different locations and get a total of 16 gym badges. I loved the day and night system and it was back in the days where adding 100 new Pokemon or so felt like a big deal. So when it got the remake treatment, I wasn't disappointed. It's still the only Pokemon games that allow you to traverse between two places and get those badges. Also the final battle of the game (as in, the REAL final battle) feels just as epic as it did the first time. The visuals really did make the most of the power of the DS at the time. Simply for me, this is the ultimate Pokemon experience and you must play it if you haven't before and you like what the games have to offer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For a very long time I wished for a Resi 2 Remake. The original back in 1998 was a truly incredible experience for so many people that I really felt that it could do with a modern touch. And while it falls ever so short of the original in my eyes, this is by far the best Resident Evil game since Resident Evil 4. It's a truly amazing experience, the gameplay so damn slick, the monsters are truly horrifying, the attention to detail in the gore is incredible, specifically when you take out the zombies limb by limb. Tyrant, otherwise known as Mr X is as terrifying as he was back in the day. William Birkin's transformations are so well done. The main thing that lets the game down is the serious lack of a proper "B" campaign for Leon and Claire, they were so good in the original and were a serious afterthought in the Remake. Otherwise, this is the best modern Resident Evil experience we have today and I implore you to play it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over the past 9 years, two games came out in 2011 that, for me, were truly incredible gaming experiences. At the time I wasn't sure what I preferred, and after a lot of deliberation, I went with Portal 2. Over time my feelings have changed, but that doesn't take anything away from how amazing this game is.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Portal 2 is truly a game you must play before you die. It's gutwrenchingly funny, clever, with excellent plot twists and some of the best puzzles any video game has to offer. It improves on the original in every way possible and delivers a 6-8 hour masterpiece. It's such a damn shame that Valve haven't brought this classic to PS4 because I'd totally buy it for my modern system. Thankfully I have it on my PC to play whenever I boot this damn thing up. Seriously play this game. I mean it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I stated above, two amazing games came out in 2011 and they're both amazing in so many different ways. I used to say I preferred Portal 2 to Skyrim but now I honestly don't know how true that is. Skyrim has aged like a fine wine (so has Portal 2 but... anyway), and still for me is the ultimate modern RPG experience. Sure there are those who will say that the game was improved by The Witcher 3, but I just don't agree. For me, Skyrim just feels so good, it's close to perfection. I love the stories, the side quests, the levelling up system, the excellent characters but above all, I absolutely love the province that is Skyrim itself. It's such a wonderful place to be, I love the snowy mountains, certain cities in the game, and how this Dragonborn makes such a difference to this part of the world of Tamriel. For me it's simply one of the best games of all time, and the best gaming experience, for me, in the last decade.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Another moment that's incredibly special for us old school Resi fans. Picture this. You've played the original Resident Evil. It was terrifying, nothing at the time looked or played like it in the horror gaming genre. You've observed the door opening sequence many times throughout the game. A few years later you then play Resident Evil 2. Even more scary. Even more mundane yet iconic door sequences. And then there's just one door, ONE DOOR, in the game where they decide to scare the absolute shit out of you by having two zombies come through it. It was absolutely terrifying, it scarred me for a very long time! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A couple of other things to note, when you play the B Scenario Campaign with either character, you understand why these zombies come through the door, and also, they did do homage to this scene in the 2 Remake, but, of course, with all the advancements in technology it was no where near as impactful but served as a nice little Easter egg for us oldies who played the original.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"Welcome!"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"Whatr'ya sellin'?"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"Come back anytime!"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Even to this day I quote The Merchant. He's one of my all time favourite minor characters in video game history. He's got so much personality for such a minor character. I'm so gutted that this guy was never seen again after Resident Evil 4, he was hugely popular amongst hardcore fans of the series and the fact that he wasn't in Resi 5, where there is a shop system, was hugely disappointing. I don't think fans would have cared about the potential lack of logic, placing him in Africa when he was in Spain in the previous game. We don't care! We just want The Merchant, dammit! And obviously, as an arms dealer, he's so helpful, giving Leon well needed guns, upgrades and first aid sprays. The man is a legend and we'll never forget him!</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What a fucking moment. Sure, it's only been just over a year since RE2 Remake came out, but this moment deserves to be mentioned this high up on this list. It was singularly the best moment in the Remake. I mentioned it in my article last year <a href="https://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2019/02/resident-evil-2-remake-5-changes-i-like.html">"5 Changes I Like, Don't Like, and Would Have Changed"</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In the original game Ben dies in a completely different way, which is again one of the reasons why I love this part in the Remake so much. Ben gets implanted with an G-virus embryo by William Birkin, or brutally brought down by his iron pipe, depending if you play the A or B campaign. Not only that, but Ben in the original game has two scenes of dialogue.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But in this Remake, oh no. That doesn't happen. He only has one scene, and it ends as quickly as it begins. In his prison cell, feeling safe from the chaos happening outside, Ben chills and smokes a cigarette. He bumps into Leon and before you know it, Tyrant grabs him from behind the wall and crushes his face with one hand. It's absolutely brutal and I love it. It's simply... wow. My mouth was ajar when I saw it for the first time. Incredible.</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Honest to Chris you don't realise how many people crapped their pants when this scene happened unless you played it back in the day. Tyrant, the original stalker, was everywhere in the B Campaign of Resi 2, but perhaps his finest moment is when you solve the torch puzzle towards the end of your time in the police station. You've solved this puzzle in the A Campaign, and the puzzle hasn't changed in the B Campaign at all, it's the same outcome. But as soon as the gear falls out on the opposite side of the room ready for you to collect, Tyrant smashes through the wall OUT OF NOWHERE. It's one of the best jump scares in video game history, so much to the point that they replicate it in the Remake to the same effect... but make it a random occurrence!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">And then, of course, when you've dealt with the wall smash, you have to walk the long way round the corridor on the outside... and you wonder if he'll do it again, and he does! Sure it's not as scary but you just don't know which wall and when it would happen so it still catches you!</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">#6 - Krauser and Leon's Knife Fight - Resident Evil 4</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When it comes to villains with short amounts of gametime that stay with me, Jack Krauser is high on that list when it comes to how much I love them. He featured at <a href="http://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2013/12/my-top-50-favourite-video-game-villains.html">#18 in my Favourite Villains</a> list, so that says a lot. He's only really in the game for one chapter, 5-3 to be exact, but his stamp on this chapter is immense. His history with Leon, his cool demeanour, his respect for his old comrade, despite wanting to kill him, everything about Krauser is just badass.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If we're going to narrow it down to one moment, it is, of course, the knife fight at the beginning of the chapter. When it comes to cool moments, Resident Evil 4 has them in abundance, but perhaps the coolest moment in the whole game has to be this fight. It's so slick, so cool, you feel like an absolute badass fighting Krauser knife on knife, man on man. The quick button exchanges are hard too, it took me ages to finish this sequence when I first did it. I just love this section of the game so much and Krauser is fully responsible towards why.</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">#5 - Wesker's Return - Resident Evil Code Veronica</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When Code Veronica came out on the Dreamcast I was gutted. I didn't look at any of the previews of the game or any info of what happens in the game - don't forget that back then there was no YouTube. Most of my information was actually from magazines. So when the game came out on the PS2 a year later, I went into the game completely blind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">So when I heard "Greetings... you must be the lovely Claire Redfield" in a pompous British accent, I had goosebumps. I hadn't seen Albert Wesker since Resident Evil 1, so we're talking 4-5 years. In that time Resident Evil 2 and 3 had already came out. There was no signs at all that Wesker was to be brought back from the dead to haunt us again, and it was a stroke of genius by Capcom to bring him back into the series.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What's so good about this scene, a truly underrated scene in the Resident Evil series in my opinion, is how not only were you not expecting the return of Wesker (unless of course you knew in advance, which as I said, I did not), but Claire Redfield has no idea who he is either. She knew of Wesker but it takes her a moment to figure out it was him, what, with him being presumed dead and all. I love how he toys with her, beating her about, purely out of his hatred for Chris, her brother. After he gets a message he decides not to kill her and let her live for another day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">And then - there it is - the red glint in his sunglasses, and the huge supernatural jump into the abyss. Whatever Wesker is, he's not human, and it's truly a jaw dropping moment. I truly love this moment in the game because there's so much information to process at once. Wesker isn't dead. Wesker isn't human. Wesker is using Claire as bait to get Chris to come to the island so he can kill him in an act of revenge. It's all so good and it's a shame most people don't agree with me when I say it's one of the best moments in the series history.</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Resident Evil 2 Remake did the Licker tremendously proud. These bastards are one of the worst/best monsters in all of Resident Evil. They're so tricky manoeuvre, tough as hell and absolutely terrifying. I hate the noise they make in the original game, that's possibly the one thing they've struggled to replicate in any game since.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The first time you meet The Licker in Resident Evil 2 is simply one of those moments that players never forget. When you've seen Zombies, Dogs, Crows, Snakes, Spiders and other creatures in Resident Evil 1, they really needed to create a brand new enemy to scare the shit out of us with back in 1998. And this was the result. Thank you Capcom for the nightmare fuel, these bastards are just truly awful.</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh god. Oh fucking god. Has there ever been a more scary Resident Evil enemy in the series? In my opinion, perhaps not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Regenerators are terrifying. They're tall, with abnormally long limbs, make the most god-awful noises, and creepily walk at you at a decent pace. What makes it worse is that the only way to kill them is to shoot invisible parasites that are all over their body - front and back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Taking care of the parasites on the front isn't a problem, you have the infrared scope and you take them out. It's the ones on the back that are the problem. You can't go round the Regenerators because the corridors are too narrow, and they can extend their arms and grab you from afar. So you normally have to shoot a leg off. But... if you do that then they crawl at you at a quicker speed than their walking animation and jump up at you. They're just so scary and give you such anxiety taking them out. You have to be quick, in taking out the parasites on their backs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, in what seems like an unpopular opinion, Regenerators for me are worse than the Iron Maidens. Iron Maidens, if you didn't know, are Regenerators with large spikes covering their bodies. Regenerators for me are worse for that very reason - if they bite you, they make the most awful noises chomping on your neck or wherever they latch on top of you. And even when you die, they don't let go, still chewing on your dead corpse for dinner! They're just, for me, probably the scariest monsters in the whole series.</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">#2 - Chief Irons'/Ben Bertolucci's Death - Resident Evil 2</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">So we covered Ben's death in the Remake earlier at #8, but his death, and Chief Irons' death in the original game, perhaps serve longer in the memory. This death was done in the Remake but to Chief Irons exclusively, yet it wasn't done to the same extent as the original.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">William Birkin in the A Campaign will implant an embryo in either Ben or Chief Irons, depending on who you're playing as. When you get to either character in their next scene, the creature bursts out of them, rejecting their host. What makes this death so damn gruesome, is how the Baby G crawls through the chest and up through the shoulder. It's truly awful and gory, and I was hoping they'd do this scene justice in the Remake. Sadly they didn't, because the creature comes out of the chest rather than through the shoulder. It's good, but this original scene in the original Resident Evil 2, is truly a horrifying moment that wasn't done justice in the Remake. Just look at the GIF below, it's gruesome!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Here we have it. The original Resident Evil Hunters. Nothing has been, in my opinion, as awful as the Hunters in the first game. More scary? Sure. Regenerators are probably scarier. And the graphics haven't been kind to that original FMV sequence when that Hunter chases after you through the Courtyard. But I can promise you, nothing crapped me up more than when I first saw that video sequence back in the day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You'd never faced ANYTHING like the Hunters until that part of the game. Zombies, Dogs, Spiders, sure. But The Hunter was like nothing else. These guys were fast, they were strong, they can leap ridiculous heights in the air, they can combo attack you. If you're in bad health, they can swipe attack you and take your head off. They were truly awful.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We've had Hunters in other Resident Evil games. RE3 - they weren't as difficult. RE Code Veronica - they were difficult but not as scary. It's the one enemy that has never been replicated to a justifiable level. Even the RE1 Remake doesn't do them justice. Resident Evil, back in 1996, created a horrible bastard of a monster that gives me anxiety to this day because they're so tough, there's so many of them back in the mansion upon your return, and they're so unpredictable. So thank you Capcom, for filling me with anxiety, whenever I see one of these green bastards.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">And that's it! I hope you've enjoyed my countdown of my 50 Favourite Resident Evil Moments. I'm sure everyone's list would be different, but let me know in the comments you agree with, disagree with and what are your most memorable moments in the series that maybe I haven't mentioned.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When we talk about titles individually, Resi 4 comes on top. It is, along with Resi 2, my favourite games in the series, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. With Resi 1 being the original you can understand why that game is so memorable, without we wouldn't have the other games.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Playing Resi 4 for the first time and seeing that zombies didn't exist but these crazy villagers replaced them was one thing. I remember back when I first played Resi 4 and being a little disappointed that zombies didn't exist anymore actually. But then you get to Chapter 2. It's night time, and you see two villagers, no big deal. But then one of their heads pop off and then... wait what?? WHAT??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The first time you see the horrific tentacles and growth coming out of the head of the villager is such an iconic moment in Resi 4. Sure, we've seen zombies, we've seen villagers, we've even seen Crimson Heads in the Resi 1 Remake. But Las Plagas changed EVERYTHING. There are three variations in Resi 4, and then even more in Resi 5 and Resi 6. But the first one will forever remain in the memory of every old school Resi fan playing this back in 2005.</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Goddamn. What a brutal moment. Resi 7 really upped the ante when it comes to gore and grotesque moments in the game. You could make an argument that this is the peak. If you ask me, it's probably when you put your hand up this poor guy's throat later in the game, a moment that nearly made my Top 50, but hey ho.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You knew as soon as you saw this police officer that he wasn't going to make it to the end. As we mentioned it in #26 in my list, Resi 7 pays fantastic homage to the classic horror movies, especially The Evil Dead. You just know these poor suckers aren't going to last, it's just a question of what their fate will be and when. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">And this poor cop lasts probably 10 more minutes? And it comes out of nowhere!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This is just the beginning of what is an amazing part of the game in The Garage. Jack Baker stalks you throughout the garage and eventually either Ethan decides to go into the car to shelter against him, or he decides to use the car to try and run you over, before "killing himself" by driving the car into the side of the garage, impaling himself. But Jack isn't dead, and he, again, "kills himself", by blowing his brains out with Ethan's gun. And even then he isn't dead! The whole scene is incredible, memorable, and simply twisted. I love the whole of the Garage part of Resi 7.</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Sure, it may not be a big deal today, and some may have seen it coming when they played the original back in 1998, but I wasn't one of them. You enter a room in the police station, and quickly realise it's an interrogation room with a double mirror. You see your reflection in the mirror and wonder if anything will come through it. There's a key item on the other side of the room. Nothing has come through the mirror at this point and you retrieve the item. Job done. Now it's time to leave the room and OH SHIT IT'S A LICKER!! A simple, effective, and iconic jump scare. Enough said.</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What attacks the scientist? Is it a Baby Albinoid? Or a Bandersnatch? All my life I've always thought it was a Baby Albinoid that attacks this scientist. But when I uploaded the video on to YouTube I had a couple of comments saying that it was a Bandersnatch. I'm not so sure, but either way, this moment was excellent. Perhaps because it's not clear what attacks the scientist is the reason why it's so good. At this point in the game you haven't really seen the Albinoids or the Bandersnatches. And all the blood that splatters on to the mirror is great. The fear of the unknown isn't used too often in Resident Evil, but it's in great effect here.</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">So if you're on track with this list you'll remember that #22 was this EXACT scene but in the Remake of the game. But you can't beat the original. If you played this game back in the mid to late 90s then you'll always remember this part of Resident Evil. It's an incredible moment, the first real jump scare of the series. Sure, the dogs, otherwise known as Cerberus, might not be that scary when it comes to all of the other monsters throughout the series, but this moment lives well in the memory of us old school fans.</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"Welcome to the family, son."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What a moment. What an introduction to the most dysfunctional family in Resident Evil history. Dinner with the Bakers is a really hard watch. It makes your skin crawl, and you can't really control Ethan through any of it. All of the Baker family members are batshit crazy for very different reasons, and your introduction to them in this scene is simply iconic. Looking at all that lovely food on the table, to Jack cutting his son's arm off, to Jack force feeding you the food by slicing your mouth open, the whole scene is uncomfortable and awful. But I love it.</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Nemesis. Total bastard. As I said earlier there is a lack of RE3 in this list, not because it's a bad game but because by the time RE1 and RE2 came along there wasn't a lot of things they really added to make the game specifically memorable... apart from Nemesis of course. Nemesis dominates RE3 in so many ways, he himself makes the game memorable. And I could list other times you encounter Nemesis in this list but really, the encounters aren't that great... apart from his introduction. His introduction is absolutely brutal. Using his tentacles to kill Brad is just awful. I can't wait to see how he does it in the Remake. Fighting Nemesis is also part of the reason why he's so memorable, he's such a formidable foe. He's tough as nails. Not long to go now guys!</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Resi 5 again was a game that, as a whole, didn't have that many memorable moments, but this lives long in my memory. Lickers, ever since RE2, have been one of my least favourite enemies. They're horrible. And while RE5 did a lot of things wrong, the introduction to lickers was fantastic. Lickers aren't as deadly in RE5 comparatively with RE2 and RE2 Remake, but just going through that corridor, seeing them absolutely EVERYWHERE, sent shivers down my spine. Thankfully you don't have to deal with all the Lickers, unless you want to! There's plenty of time to escape from them!</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Some people prefer "The Master of Unlocking", which got to #47 in my list, but for me, it's all about the Jill Sandwich, baby. This scene's acting is just special, so special, that it got a reference in both the Remake AND in the original Dead Rising game, when they named one of the shops "Jill's Sandwiches". I love this scene so much. Sure, the acting is cringey, but hey, it gets you easy access to a shotgun, which is incredibly useful. It's also an optional scene, you have to pretty much go down this corridor straight away in the game. And the Remake was a lot more serious in tone, yet they still rework this line into the game, it's great!</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"That is not groovy."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The Evil Dead references aren't more obvious than that line during the time you finally are able to take Jack down. Jack is fought many times during RE7, but this is the first time that you finally get to take him down on YOUR terms. He challenges you to a chainsaw fight in the Dissection Room and it's absolutely mental. You have to outsmart him by kicking bodybags in his direction, slice him open, and when he has a true opening, you have to ram your chainsaw into his wound and it's just goresome. It's a really entertaining boss fight, one of the best in the whole series.</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Ada was seen at a glance much earlier in the game when she helps you out against "The Big Cheese" in Chapter 1-3, but this is actually an optional scene. Her official return is at the end of Chapter 3-2 in the Castle when she gets into a close enter with Leon. It's a great scene, considering that the last time that Ada and Leon really saw each other was towards the end of Resident Evil 2 when Ada seemingly dies, to Leon's distress. It's great seeing them back together, and throughout the whole game in fact, as Leon knows that Ada can't be trusted and Ada knows that Leon is a very commendable ally/foe. The tension between the two in this game is tremendous and it's a shame that it doesn't really go much further in Resident Evil 6.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Aw crap. Lisa Trevor is terrifying. She was a very welcome addition to Resi 1 Remake, as she was never present in the original game. Hearing her ghastly moans before meeting her is a great moment too, but when she greets you by knocking her out with her chains and letting you rest at the side of her fireplace... it's an interesting and incredibly memorable introduction. What's even better is her backstory. It's so tragic, and I could go into detail about it but I'd rather not, there's plenty of analysis out there if you're interested! She's also invicible, you can never kill her no matter how hard you try. She's just a brilliant video game monster and a great addition to the Remake. <a href="http://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2013/12/my-top-50-favourite-video-game-villains_30.html">She is also featured in my Top 50 Favourite Video Game Villains list, getting to #38.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not talking about the encounter in the actual game but rather the flashback sequence shown in Chapter 3-1, when Sheva asks Chris about Albert Wesker. At this point of the game you suspect that Jill has been killed, with her sacrificing herself to deal with Wesker. What I love about this whole scene is how badass Wesker is. He's one of my all time video game villains, if not my actual favourite. When he uses his superspeed and strength to take out both Chris and Jill, it's just an awesome watch. I also love the scene when he murders Oswell Spencer too. As much as Resi 5 overall is one of the weaker entries in the series, the majority of what they did with Wesker was tremendous.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The funny thing about me doing this list at this time is that Resident Evil 3 Remake is literally around the corner... and this only one of two entries in this list from the original game. Why? It's not to say that Resi 3 was bad - far from it. I love Resi 3. But, Nemesis as an entity aside, they didn't really do a lot in Resi 3 that was done before with Resi 1 and 2. It's a very good game but I just don't find much of it memorable.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But one thing that was certainly memorable was going back to the police station. It's just so cool. Resident Evil 2's police station is simply one of the most iconic places in video game history, certainly in the Resident Evil game series. So when you get the opportunity to revisit the place in Resi 3 it immediately brought a smile to my face. And you use it as a safe haven to get away from Nemesis and it works... or does it? Of course not!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">It'll be interesting to see how much of the police station we'll be able to access in Resi 3 Remake, comparatively with Resi 2 Remake, not long until we find out!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Resident Evil 7 did so many things right, and was a true homage to the old school Resi games and horror in general. One of the best parts of the game are right at the beginning of the game. You're primary objective as Ethan is to find your wife, Mia Winters, and pretty much 20 minutes into the game you find her! Job done! Let's leave this horrible place and go home! End of game.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You just know that finding your wife so damn early into the game is NOT good news. It's gotta be bad. You expect her to turn into a monster or be a villain or something... but it doesn't happen... not straight away. It's fantastic tension building by Capcom because you just know it's gonna turn awry, and when it does it fucking DOES. The whole scene that follows is proper homage to The Evil Dead and it's great.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Otherwise known as the beginning of the game. I concentrate on Leon swearing because I believe this was the first time I had heard bad language in a Resident Evil game. Leon certainly uses the word a lot in Resi 4 and I love hearing it. But in seriousness, the beginning of Resi 4 is great. We'd NEVER seen anything like this before in the Resident Evil series, when we encounter our first of the Ganados. They can talk, they can carry weapons, they can run. It was an amazing moment and one of the most memorable parts in the series.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">No matter what your opinion is on the Intro for the original Resident Evil game you can't deny how memorable it is. Time hasn't been kind to the original game and its original intro is certainly up there with the arguably cringiest parts of the game. But if you did play this back in 1996 or certainly in the late nineties, it wasn't that bad at all. I'd NEVER seen a horror game before Resident Evil, and parts of this intro did scare me. I love the hand being pulled from the ground, without the body, I love the full cut version of the intro too, with the dogs, it's very well done in parts.

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Nosferatu is a truly underrated Resi monster. It's a shame he wasn't used more because he's only in the game for, perhaps an hour at best, and you only face him once. He's actually quite important to the plot too, being the father of Alfred and Alexia Ashford. Facing him as a boss is incredibly memorable, because he's actually very difficult to defeat. You can only really attack him with either the knife or the rifle, and if you get too close he knocks you back, possibly off the platform, killing you instantly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But before you face him as a boss, you meet him earlier and this is the scene for me that's the more memorable moment. You go into a safe room, with safe room music, and everything is hunkydory, before all of a sudden the music goes dead when you see a hidden passage behind a locker. You go through and see this metal grated floor section, and underneath is Nosferatu, chained and gagged, making the most ungodly scream ever. It's just a moment that catches you WAY off guard, because safe rooms are supposed to be safe, dammit!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When Capcom were working on the Resident Evil remake, they wanted to create a game that would be great for people who had played the original and for those who hadn't. One of the very memorable moments in the original game was the corridor east on the first floor, when the dogs, which are called Cerberus, smash through the window and attack the player. Capcom knew that this area was truly memorable, so what did they do for the remake?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">They teased the dog coming through the window, but it didn't break. It was a stroke of genius. Original fans were dreading going through this corridor, knowing how it all goes down in the first game, and when the dog teases to smash the window it's like, "oh, okay, well I wasn't expecting that!" And what's better? Is that there seems to be a random generator in terms of IF or HOW the dogs smash through the window in this area! You could go through this corridor three, four, five, six times, and the dogs will leave you alone, but they do spontaneously go through eventually! Capcom worked the original fans a treat with how they worked this section of the game, fair play!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes the best moments aren't necessarily in the actual game, but can be the game itself. Back in 1998, when Resident Evil 2 came out, it was quite a novel idea, seeing that you had two discs to play the game, one for each character. Disc 1 was the story of Leon Kennedy, where as Disc 2 was the story of Claire Redfield. Both campaigns and stories were different and equally great.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But when you finish one of the campaigns and see the words "Scenario 2nd" come up, with the opposite character to who you beat the game with, no one was expecting that. And it opened up two whole new chapters of the game!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If you're not familiar, Resi 2 has Leon and Claire's stories. Let's call them Leon A and Claire A. If you beat the game with Leon A, you unlock Claire B, and vice versa, you unlock Leon B when you beat the game on Claire A. There are differences between the four campaigns too!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">El Gigante may be based on the Cave Troll from Lord of the Rings but that takes nothing away from the fact that this boss from Resi 4 is excellent. He's intimidating, especially further along in the game when you go against two of them, but he's also a very fun boss to go against. Shooting at his head, dodging his massive fists, then running away before he throws trees at you - it's insane and entertaining. The boss fight was so popular that they made it a boss fight in Resi 5 as well!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As stated earlier, Resi 6 was the weakest entry in the main series and by a considerable margin. So much so that this is the third and final entry into this Top 50 involving the game. For me, this was a huge moment in an otherwise poor game. Ada Wong has always played nicely on that line between good and evil, both in Resi 2 and in Resi 4. So when we saw she was playing a big part in Resi 6 we expected a similar performance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">That was until she throw an bomb of viruses at all of Chris Redfield's men, turning them into gooey monsters. It was the first time we really saw her doing something truly evil, rather than it being something mischievous or debatable because she was following orders. I've always been a huge Ada fan and I was like "noooo!" when this happened.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course, later on we learn that it wasn't Ada but someone called Carla Radames, who was impersonating Ada and, basically, was an Ada clone, but it takes nothing away from this moment at the time and how you felt about it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Ah, Resident Evil's first ever boss. Yawn was, and still is, a bastard. I've played Resi 1 countless times and Yawn still gives me a small amount of anxiety whenever I face him. Is he scary? Not really, not beyond the first time you face him anyway. But he is dangerous. All it takes is one bite from him and that's it, you're poisoned. Depending on who you play as in Jill or Chris and what actions you have taken to that point, getting poisoned by Yawn can make life difficult for you. It's best to avoid getting bit but that's a major task. Avoiding him on the way in isn't too bad. But when you try and collect the Moon Crest and escape he basically traps you in his little corner. So Yawn, despite all of the times I've faced him, is a pain in the ass and I think my escape percentage without getting poisoned is probably around 10%. He's a very memorable boss, being the first one in the series I'm sure everyone agrees.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I remember that I didn't play the Remake of Resident Evil 1 for, I dunno, maybe a year after it came out? I didn't have a Gamecube when it was released so hearing of the REmake got me excited but I was also gutted I'd not get to play it for a while. But I remember one of my good friends telling me about Crimson Heads, and how they're regular zombies that come back from the dead... again... and they're much more dangerous. When I eventually played the REmake they met my expectations. I mostly run away from them, because they run so damn fast and can cripple your health if you're not careful. Of course you can take care of them with a lighter and some fuel but there's not much of that around. They're pretty terrifying for sure!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I touched on this in my Resident Evil 2 Remake article (which you can read by clicking <a href="https://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2019/02/resident-evil-2-remake-5-changes-i-like.html">here</a>), but this was the fight we never asked for, but oh boy are we happy we saw it! Something some fans may or may not have thought while playing the original game is, what would happen if William Birking fought Tyrant? Well, we got the answer in the Remake, and it wasn't even close. William Birkin rips Tyrant's chest out in one piece and it looks insane. I LOVED this moment from Resi 2 Remake. I never asked for it but I'm happy we saw it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This moment brings me WAY back to when I first played Resi 1. On the surface, this room and this scenario isn't scary or anything special, so if you disagree with this entry I understand. But don't forget, this is my personal list! The crows in Resi 1 were pretty scary at the time. One crow you can deal with, but when around 3, 4 or 5 of them come at you, they can create havoc and really cause damage.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">And then you have The Gallery Room. Which is FULL of crows. If you shoot at them, they'll come at you. If you get the puzzle in the room wrong they will come at you. Get it right and they'll leave you alone. But when I first went into this room, way back when I first played this game, I didn't know any of this. All I saw was a room full of crows. And walking through it, trying not to disturb these damn birds... I crapped myself! So it's a nostalgia moment for me, talking about how I felt going into this room for the first time, hence its inclusion in this list.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">If you've played the demo of Resident Evil 7 then you'll be also familiar with "the first tape", because it's basically the same thing. A team of ghost hunters enter the Baker house because of rumours of it being haunted and they get killed off. That's what happens in a nutshell. But playing the RE7 demo, or playing through the "tape" in the game really sets up the game very well. It's creepy and cheesy at the same, and it's all about what happens in the end of the tape, when we see one of the guys get killed off, with blood streaming from their eyeballs and mouth. It's brutal and it's classic Baker family shit. I love it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Entering the village in Resi 4 is simply one of the best and most memorable moments in Resi history. No matter how much Resi you've played, if you've played Resi 4 in the first time and you get to the village, nothing prepares you for what's about to come. Arriving in that village, seeing all the locals, it's "backwards Hillbilly murdering village" vibes all over. And seeing all of them, coming at you, is just INSANE. In previous Resi games, you can have what, three or four zombies take you on at once? How many people are in that screenshot? And there's more in other parts of this area too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">And then you have the Chainsaw guy. Run into one of the houses and a cutscene plays out where you hear and see all the villagers surround the house. Then you hear the revs of a chainsaw. Then his lunatic runs at you! It's just madness and I love it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Resi 0 overall doesn't do that much to further what happens in the games that were released before it, but the addition of leeches was, erm, interesting. And Mimicry Marcus enemies are just disgusting. They're a pain in the butt to deal with and follow you everywhere. When you meet the first one in the train it's a fantastic visual and it's pretty much the best scene in the entire game.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When they announced that they were remaking Resi 2 I was excited. Then there was radio silence for years. Then at E3 2018 they showed the trailer and they showed the first zombie killing a police officer. And it was absolutely GRUESOME. Just look at the level of detail in the GIF below. It's insane. I've never seen such detail in a game before, when it comes to this level of gore. We've come so far since the days of 1996 when we saw our first ever zombie. Seeing the first zombie in 2019 in RE2 Remake shows just how far. I love the level of detail. It's sick and I love it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Ahoy there and welcome to another one of my listings. With the dust settled on Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake announced and less than a week away I thought now would be a good time to reveal what my 50 favourite moments are in the series. When I say the series I'm talking about the main games, so I'm not including Resident Evil Survivor, Revelations or Umbrella Chronicles or similar. It's literally Resident Evil 0, 1, 2, 3, Code Veronica, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1 Remake and 2 Remake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of these moments are scary, some are funny, some are sad and some are just iconic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll post these 50 moments across 5 parts over 5 days. Today I'm posting #50 to #41, so come back tomorrow for #40 to #31.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Because some people prefer videos, some prefer text, some prefer GIFs and some want just a picture - I tried to get one of everything in here for each entry.. although some seem to have disappeared due to copyright issues perhaps. Some explanations may be longer than others. And don't forget - all of this is my opinion, so if you disagree, that's cool, we can discuss that in the comments.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I shouldn't have to say but just in case - there are likely to be SPOILERS in these posts. So if you've not played any of the games above and don't want to know what happens, don't take the risk!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Enjoy my favourite moments from <b><span style="font-size: large;">*FLASH*</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Right at the end of Resident Evil 4 - and we mean one of the last rooms you enter in the entire game has the last Regenerator enemy to defeat in there. Before that though you can open a cupboard to find a white bag inside. It takes a good couple of seconds, but after a moment, the bag starts moving. And moving. And it won't stop unless to strike or shoot it with a weapon, and when you do it stretches in a weird way and flops dead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Why?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What was it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The answer remains a mystery to this day. It has no impact to the game in any way, shape or form and you don't even have to open the cupboard. It's just a weird moment and it's simplicity is great.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's get something out of the way - Resi 6 is by far the worst entry in the series. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have its moments. And when I say moments I do literally mean... moments. Most of it is just meh. And again, my opinion here, one redeeming thing about Resi 6 is actually Chris Redfield. I've never been the biggest Chris fan, and his character in Resi 5 was really crap in honesty. But in Resi 6 he does somehow redeem himself. Acting like the elderly statesman to a group of young BSAA rookies, he is the role model for the likes of Finn and Piers. More on Finn later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But Piers is the shining light of the BSAA. He's young, quite brash, but quickly becomes an incredibly reliable soldier working alongside Chris and is there when the shit hits the fan. He's the future. But then he gets attacked and infected by a monster named Haos. He still helps Chris defeat the monster and Chris says they'll escape.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But Piers has other ideas. He throws Chris into the escape pod and locks the door. Chris begs him to open the door but Piers refuses.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a heartbreaking moment in the game, one that caught me by surprise. Mainly because everything leading up to this point in Chris' story was mostly boring, apart from other scenes which we'll get to later. Chris was supposed to retire after training up these young rookies in Finn and Piers. But he outlives them and continues to fight on in their memory.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Resident Evil 0 isn't a bad game, not at all. It's decent enough. Most of the general enemies in the game are dull... apart from Lurker Frogs. These massive frogs don't look that intimidating and that's part of the beauty of the situation. By this point in the series, most fans had played Resi 1, Resi 2, Resi 3, Code Veronica and Resi 1 Remake. We had seen countless enemies in that time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We get towards the end of Resi 0 and see a big frog jump out of the water. We take a look at it and almost laugh. They look like shit versions of Hunters.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But then they attack you with their massive tongue and drag you towards them... and eat you whole. That's it. Game Over.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">It really comes out of nowhere, and it's a one-hit kill. The only way out of it is if you have both Rebecca and Billy, and one shoots the Lurker Frog before the other gets eaten. But chances are the first few times you encounter these frogs you're separated, so until you reunite you literally have to either be quick and kill them before they attack you, or run and run FAST. Because their tongues are really long and once they attack, you're fucked.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Some fans may say I'm placing this too low in the list and I understand if you're one of those people. It's a classic moment but there was so much to cover in this Top 50 it just kept getting bumped downwards. It's still an amazing moment though.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If you don't know, the original Resident Evil had some TERRIBLE acting. I mean just woeful. And most of the worst lines were by Barry Burton. I mean, personally, when I say the acting is terrible, I LOVE it. I love how cheesy the lines are. I love the poor dialogue. And Barry's lines are absolute corkers.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I mean, sure. Maybe Jill is AMAZING at unlocking doors. If Jill was in Skyrim, perhaps her Pickpocket Level is 100. But to call her "The Master of Unlocking" is just a strange phrase to use. ESPECIALLY in a situation where you're stuck in a mansion full of zombies and other monstrosities. It's simply a classic Resident Evil moment and I love it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I did warn you about spoilers! Don't want to know the true identity of Eveline? Skip ahead. I mean it. The video thumbnail for the YouTube video shows you who it is! You get this warning for free.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You don't mind knowing who Eveline is? Or know already? Okay. Fine. So yeah. I'm not going to lie to you, when you find out that Eveline is actually the old lady in the wheelchair it did catch me by surprise. Is it the biggest plot twist in video game history? No. But it's still fun and I didn't see it coming. All this time, seeing that creepy old lady, doing nothing, singing in corridors, staring at you like a Mona Lisa painting, barely surviving, never dying, just... being... there. And of course, there's that one particular corridor where she's not facing you and you think this is the moment - she's gonna grab you, but she doesn't. Then when you turn around she's disappeared.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Eveline's plot twist wasn't expected and it's not the most original reveal but I did really enjoy it regardless.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I missed this moment when I first played Resident Evil 6! I did go down the slide and that was comical. But I didn't actually ride the panda! It's one of those moments where you think... did that just happen?? But I'm glad it did. Resident Evil over the years has had moments where you do wonder if the games take themselves too seriously. But we have over the years had some hilarious moments in the game. So it was a refreshing change of pace to have Chris Redfield mess about in a playground despite bioterrorism threatening to destroy the world. It's hilarious!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Resident Evil 2 Remake was brilliant. Truly brilliant. What they kept the same was mostly the right decision and what they changed was usually for the better. There were some things I didn't agree with and to read my thoughts on that click <a href="https://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2019/02/resident-evil-2-remake-5-changes-i-like.html">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But one thing that was a stroke of genius was what they did with G-Adult.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In the original Resi 2, G-Adult was the first boss in the game. There was only one, and it was the creature that burst out of Ben or Chief Irons, depending on if you were playing as Leon or Claire respectively in the A Campaign. It's the offspring of William Birkin's monster who is trying to find the correct host.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">So by that logic, there shouldn't be one G-Adult, but many. William Birkin creeps all the way from the labs underground to the sewers and then to the police station. So it makes a lot of sense to suggest that there can't be just one G-Adult, because William Birkin must have planted many embryos in many poor victims on his way up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">So Capcom realised this and made the decision in the Remake to scrap the G-Adult boss and instead make him a regular enemy. And what an enemy he is. He's an absolute grotesque bag of gore, eyes, flesh and poison. It's fucking revolting. And defeating them are an absolute pain in the ass. So bravo Capcom, for making a great change from the original game to the Remake in making G-Adult far more significant in the latter.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When I first played Resident Evil Code Veronica I was so happy with the return of Wesker. I'll talk more about that in a later entry in this list. But one of the best things about the return of Wesker was the rivalry between Wesker and Chris. They hate each other, and for very good reason. Wesker betrayed the STARS team and Chris thwarted Wesker's plans back in the mansion in Resi 1, leaving him for dead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">And in the end of Code Veronica, we get to see what we really wanted - a fight between Wesker and Chris. And sure, it's a little one sided with Wesker's superpowers, but Chris, as he always does, manages to use some tricks up his sleeve. It's one of my favourite moments in Code Veronica and for some unknown reason not many people give the scene the love I feel it deserves. I love this fight!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Again, this is another moment I can see a lot of fans questioning why I've placed this all the way down in #42. And as iconic as this moment truly is, it never did scare me much, even when I played the game as a kid in the late nineties. There were far more scary moments in Resident Evil 1 than this. But I can't deny it's status as one of video games truly iconic moments. It's likely to be in a Top 100 video game moments list of all time, if someone was to make such a list. It's truly video game royalty, when it comes to how big this moment was for so many people. It's just that as much as I like this moment, it just didn't move me as much as it seemed to for others.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We return to the Remake of Resident Evil 2 with another "change" they made that wasn't in the original game. The whole orphanage segment of Claire's campaign is excellent. They added so much more to the story and relationship of Chief Irons and Sherry Birkin. And there are moments in the orphanage that are quite uncomfortable. Chief Irons is much more of a scumbag in this remake, and Sherry is far less annoying than she is in the original. Overall, those tweaks to those characters made this whole scene much more impactful than I ever anticipated. I didn't really care for either character in the original game, but my feelings for both characters were far more this time round. So, again, kudos Capcom, for making another great addition to the already good story of Resi 2.</span></div>

<div>
<b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi everyone, and welcome to another one of my Mixtapes. If you're not sure what a Mixtape is, here's an explanation...</b></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>A Mixtape is a playlist of a certain genre, band or era. The list is generally 80 minutes long, the same length of a blank CD, with further recommendations if some of the songs aren't to your taste. Remember kids, downloading is wrong!</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>As the world has moved on from CDs and we're in a digital age now, I also make the playlist on Spotify and YouTube where possible.</b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Celebrating 25 years of the Foo Fighters! In case you're wondering, this is a list of what I think are the best Foo Fighters songs - that have never been singles. I'm surprised that some of these songs aren't singles, especially as they are regularly played live or even have music videos in some cases. The final song of the list can be argued that it's Dave Grohl as a solo artist rather than the Foo Fighters as it was around the time when Nirvana broke up, but then, the whole first Foo Fighters album is also technically Dave as a solo artist when you think about it!</b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hey everyone and welcome to another Mixtape! Two in two weeks, they're coming like buses! Over seven years ago I did my first "Best of Industrial" Mixtape. You can find that link <a href="http://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2012/03/mixtape-best-of-industrial.html">here</a>. At the time I was struggling to create that Mixtape, reason being that while I love the genre, there weren't that many bands that I knew and loved beyond the obvious. Choosing around 20 artists of this genre isn't easy, certainly those of good quality. Yet the sound in its pure form is just beautiful. It's hard to put into words.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway, doing this Part 2, seven years later was so much easier. I can't again explain why either. Perhaps my palette has increased for the genre? But it was always there and I've always loved it. As I said it's hard to explain!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not familiar with the term Industrial? I'll copy and past what I put down in my Volume 1 because I explained it relatively well then.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The roots of Industrial music started in the seventies and with the Industrial Records company, but they weren't really successful, nor was the sound. But it inspired the "Post-Industrial" genre, what we now know as Industrial music. So if you're an Industrial purist, you could say that the list below is not Industrial music, but Post-Industrial music. I will continue to consider this Mixtape and the songs and sound as Industrial music, but let's not be ignorant to the original genre of the seventies. </span></b><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There's so many influences that helped made the genre, and there are so many influences from Industrial music that helped shape music today.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So what have I defined as Industrial below? Well, after the seventies Industrial Records scene, Industrial (or Post-Industrial) roots back to the early eighties. Arguably the first Post-Industrial band was Skinny Puppy, but of course, there were bands that influenced Skinny Puppy to make the sound they made, and there were a few bands around that time that while aren't Industrial as a sole genre, they also helped to the rise. Bands like Killing Joke, Bauhaus, Ministry, KMFDM and Kraftwerk are all bands that in some way, shape or form, helped Industrial music to become what it has been in the eighties, nineties and naughties.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But, and you can argue I'm biased in saying this, but to me, the band that pioneered Industrial music is Nine Inch Nails. A lot of the 1980s Industrial lacked melody, it sounded great but it was repetitive and became almost brainless music. But Nine Inch Nails added melody, added quality vocals and also started using ground breaking electronic metal music to add to the machinery sound that was Industrial music. As I said, I could be biased, as Nine Inch Nails are my favourite band.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not familiar with my Mixtapes? Here are the rules.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>A Mixtape is a playlist of a certain genre, band or era. The list is generally 80 minutes long, the same length of a blank CD, with further recommendations if some of the songs aren't to your taste. Remember kids, downloading is wrong!</i></span><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This list you'll see below isn't just Industrial music. It's a celebration of the sound, and the sounds that have been influenced by Industrial music. Industrial music has been used in so many genres since the boring machine sound of the eighties, it's used in dance music, techno, alternative rock, indie, metal and most recently, dubstep. You name the genre, chances are Industrial had an assist in there for making the genre what it is today. So there's a lot of bands here that aren't Industrial. But I've selected certain songs by those bands, that have roots from the Industrial genre, and have them showcase how good the sound can be when done perfectly. I have some eighties industrial, nineties industrial, some electronic dance music and some heavy industrial metal.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Enjoy my second homage to Industrial music!</span></b><br />

<div>
<b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi everyone, and welcome to another one of my Mixtapes. If you're not sure what a Mixtape is, here's an explanation...</b></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>A Mixtape is a playlist of a certain genre, band or era. The list is generally 80 minutes long, the same length of a blank CD, with further recommendations if some of the songs aren't to your taste. Remember kids, downloading is wrong!</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>As the world has moved on from CDs and we're in a digital age now, I also make the playlist on Spotify and YouTube where possible. In this case, I can only do the Mixtape on Spotify because Rammstein are very protective over their copyrighting on YouTube.</b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>So, just in case you're wondering, this is a list of what I think are Rammstein's best songs - that have never been singles. I'm surprised that some of these songs aren't singles, especially as they are regularly played live or even have music videos in some cases. And yes - this list does include their new album released only two days ago. And again, yes - you REALLY should listen to that new album. It's tremendous.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Warning - this post contains lots of spoilers from both the original Resident Evil 2 and the Remake. You have been warned!</i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hey everyone, I thought I'd do something slightly different today. I, like many people have recently been playing Resident Evil 2 Remake and it's absolutely brilliant. I may well review it for the website, but at the moment I thought I'd just do this post and see what happens in the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Resident Evil 2 (2019) is a full remake of the original Resident Evil 2 from 1998. That being said, like the original Resident Evil remake from 2002, which was a full remake of the original from 1996, they have made some changes and added some things, so it's not a 100% copy and paste interpretation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Is this it as good as the original? My answer is no - but that's okay. The standards set back then were incredibly high, so I wasn't expecting it to be "as good", but I wanted it to be as close to the original in terms of offering the same feeling and giving a similar experience for modern or younger gamers who may have missed if they didn't play the original. And that's exactly what this Remake does on most fronts. They've added some stuff, they've taken away from stuff, and they've kept probably 85% of the original content, and the experience does feel incredibly fresh and nostalgic at the same time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are five changes that I like, don't like and would have changed from Resident Evil 2 Remake. I'd again, like to emphasise, that this game is tremendous, and it's constructive criticism that I'm offering. Overall Capcom have made an excellent game and Remake, so keep that in mind if I may come across negative at times when explaining - I'm purely a hardcore fan and nothing more!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><u>5 Changes I Like About Resident Evil 2 Remake</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>1. Sherry's Story</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the original game Sherry was a pain in the ass. There's no other way to put it. She slowed you down, she got herself into all sorts of trouble and, despite being a timid little girl with terrible parents you didn't feel sorry for her really.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But in the Remake they corrected pretty much EVERYTHING to do with Sherry. You do genuinely feel sorry for her in this version of the game. She doesn't slow you down at all, and because you can't control her in the game they took the frustrating elements out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">More than that though they added some pretty good stuff. The relationship between Chief Irons and Sherry wasn't something I expected to see but Capcom added a very interesting story there. Chief Irons was a creepy bastard in the Remake, more so than in the original, and by adding a story of him kidnapping Sherry and taking her to an abandoned orphanage was a stroke of genius. By having Sherry stand up to Chief Irons and throw acid in his face when he's trying to attack her really made you root for her. The game of hide and seek was quite tense in parts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another fantastic thing they added into the Remake was how Sherry's appearance changed after William Birkin implanted an embryo into her. Her eye looked messed up and it was pretty damn disgusting I must say. Great work Capcom with working a previously really frustrating character in Sherry and making her actually more than tolerable, but genuinely a character I sympathised with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was the fight we never asked for, but again, massive credit where it's due, because seeing Tyrant and William Birkin together was a huge treat I never saw coming in the Remake. And seeing William Birkin come on top of the fight and absolutely destroying the Tyrant, ripping three quarters of his abdomen out was a great moment. I loved every second of that scene - Sherry calling out for her father, Claire realising that the monster that's hellbent on attacking them both is actually her Dad and seeing all the gore was just... wow. Great work Capcom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>3. The Subweapons and Gunpowder</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm not the biggest fan of subweapons to be honest but they can be lifesavers at times. With Resident Evil 2 Remake being a far more dynamic game than the original, they needed to do something to breakdown the divide between the main character and the enemies they'll be facing. So by adding defensive knives and grenades to aid the player when in trouble, they managed to break down any potential issues that could develop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But better than the subweapons for me was the gunpowder addition to the game. The subweapons were a feature from Resident Evil 1 Remake, so it's a bit of a homage to that entry in the series, but the gunpowder was a feature that was used in the original Resident Evil 3 game. It's likely, based on the rumours, that gunpowder will be used in the Resident Evil 3 remake apparently in development, so perhaps that decision impacted the idea of using it in its predecessor. I'm just speculating at this point, but either way it was a great feature and it gets a thumbs up from me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>4. Ben Bertolucci's Death</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well what can I say? Just look at the picture below! Holy crap this moment was amazing. We all knew that Ben was going to die, but I don't think anyone thought it'd be as quick as it was, and certainly not in the hands of Tyrant. The way Tyrant "broke" Ben's face with his bare hand was just brutal, and the eye pop was just the gory cherry on top of the horror cake. It was simply one of the best deaths in Resident Evil history.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>5. G-Adult and The Sewers</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the original game the sewers were an okay and very brief part of the game that is largely forgettable. But in the Remake they really expanded on the network of tunnels and how utterly disgusting the whole section is.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another great thing about the sewers was the use of the G-Adult. Rather than making G-Adult into the first boss of the game like in the original, Capcom decided to make G-Adult into a regular enemy in the sewers. It makes more sense this way story-line wise, because of the fact that William Birkin's G-virus is trying to find the perfect partner to "breed" his mutation into to prolong his legacy. All of the G-Adults in the sewers are "failures" of the embryo breeding process, so it makes so much more sense that there's more of them. And they're absolutely revolting, more so in this version of the game than in the remake.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>1. The Lab</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What was so good about seeing the previews of Resi 2 Remake, and then playing the Demo, was seeing how much of the police station looked identical to how it looked in the original game. Sure they did change and add more parts, but overall the presentation of the police station was very similar. It was so nostalgic running down the corridors of the station because it looked so similar.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But then when you get to the lab, which is now called The NEST, they changed almost everything. It's unrecognisable. Now if you're thinking I'm being a hypocrite because I'm complimenting Capcom for changing the Sewers but criticising them for changing the lab then I understand. But the difference here for me is that they expanded on the Sewers a lot, and the Sewers were quite a small section of the game. But I did like the lab and how it looked in the original game, so to not only change it but to change it as dramatically as they did, just disappointed me somewhat. Don't get me wrong, The NEST is a decent part of the game, but I feel they missed a trick here.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>2. Super Tyrant</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don't get me wrong, Tyrant (or Mr X, but I've never really liked that name) is excellent. He's just as intimidating on this game, in fact he's probably more intimidating because he can't killed and follows you EVERYWHERE. But that fedora is just awful. Why give him a fedora?? To be fair, it looked worse in the trailers than it does in the actual game.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But more than the fedora, what disappointed me the most about Tyrant was the final boss fight. He just didn't look that good. The pictures below don't really do much justice to my point but bare with me. In the original he was completely naked, had two massive claws, and his pumping heart was really prominent. In the Remake they decided to keep his pants on - perhaps this is a weird thing to be critical about but I just think it looked odd. Also, because he's such a big guy, he had the worlds biggest abs it seemed. Where as in the original game, his body is highly mutilated by this point. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I truly believe that the original final Tyrant was better. Also the fight was a lot more intimidating in the original game - the way he'd zoom up to you and claw you was just brutal. In the Remake he's a lot less dangerous, again in my opinion.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Why? Just why? I really enjoyed the fact that Leon and Claire's relationship in the original game is genuinely platonic, there's no feelings there whatsoever for either of them for the other and anyone interpreting the situation as something different is seeing something that purely isn't there. Ada and Leon of course have feelings for eachother, and the story really is whether or not Ada was using Leon or did have feelings for him, and this plays further along in Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 6. Claire of course falls for Steve in Resident Evil Code Veronica.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But Claire and Leon in Resident Evil 2, or other games or films that they appear in don't have any romance and nor should they. So it was a strange decision from Capcom to start the two flirting in this Remake. I mean, it's not heavy flirting, but even any hint of it felt strange and out of place, and simply becomes questionable.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Perhaps it's only a minor thing to most people but I was a little disappointed in how Chief Irons dies in this game. In the original game on the "A" scenario, both Chief Irons and Ben Bertolucci die by William Birkin planting an embryo into their bodies and then the G-Young creature pops out of them. They made Ben die in a different way in this game as stated above, and that's fine. But they saved the original death in the original game to Chief Irons.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What's different about the way he dies in this game than in the original? Sure, the G-Young creature pops out of him, just like in the original. But in the Remake, he pops out of his stomach. It's a great visual and I did enjoy it, but the way the G-Young bursts out in the original could have been even more amazing if he did it the same way in the Remake. As you can kind of see below, he bursts from the shoulder and chest area, ripping Chief Irons in half. It looked brutal back in 1998 and I really hoped they'd make it just as bad in the Remake. Whilst it was still good, it did disappoint me a little.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If I could only mention one thing that frustrated me about the Resident Evil 2 Remake it was this. I wasn't sure if Capcom were going to do Leon A/Claire B and Claire B/Leon A because of time constraints, budgets and if they could justify it. But when I found out they put a mode called "2nd Run", I was excited because it meant that Capcom were going to give hardcore fans what they wanted.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But "2nd Run" is just a mess. I hate to be negative and blunt but it is. The "1st Run" was great, and overall Resi 2 Remake is brilliant, but for me if they were going to do a "2nd Run" or a "B" Scenario campaign they really should have done it properly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What's wrong with it, you may ask? Well, the "2nd Run", tries to do what the "B" Scenarios did on the original, which is basically that if you were playing as Leon, you'd then play as Claire to find out what she was up to "behind the scenes" so to speak. And vice versa if you played as Claire then you'd find out what Leon was up to. What the original from back in 1998 did by splitting these campaigns was in effect give you 4 different stories, because the game is split, literally, depending on what side of the fire Leon and Claire jump out of the car in.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But the "2nd Run" isn't the same as the "B" Scenarios. Why? Because after you arrive at the police station and take the "back entrance" to the building, you pretty much play the game in exactly the same way as the "A" Scenario, or the "1st Run" in this case. Sure, the puzzles are slightly different and some of the items are in slightly different places, but the game plays out almost exactly as the "1st Run", especially after you leave the police station.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also, because Leon and Claire only meet up or communicate two or three times in the Remake, it becomes less of a question of "oh, so that's what they were up to behind the scenes", where as in the original it felt their paths crossed more often than that, perhaps four or five times. And even on their first encounter - the time lapse was a frustration. On the "1st Run", it takes you a good 30-45 minutes before you see the other character. But on the "2nd Run", it's literally within the first 5 minutes of playing the game. These little things don't add up, it's as simple as that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><u>5 Changes I Would Have Made to Resident Evil 2 Remake</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>1. 2nd Run/B Campaign as Free DLC</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Following on from Point 5 of things I "don't like", I truly feel that Capcom made the decision to have the "2nd Run" because of hardcore fans demanding it. And if that's the case, then, as stated above, credit where it's due, Capcom were listening to fans and put it in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But because it was so rushed and didn't add up correctly, it would have been a better decision for Capcom to not release the "2nd Run" on release date, and then to add it as free DLC in the future. I mean, they added Ghost Survivors as free DLC already and the game only came out a few weeks ago. So it's not like would have had to wait long to get it "right" before releasing it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Perhaps Capcom thought fans would have been disappointed that the "2nd Run" was not released on release day, so instead of putting up with that criticism, they decided to release it anyway, despite it being "undercooked", so to speak. But if that's the case, I do feel they made the wrong decision. Those fans would have soon become happy knowing it would have been free DLC and done properly, certainly happier than they are now, that's for sure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>2. Assignment Ada</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've seen quite a few fans mention this on social media already, so it's not my idea. But listen to the fans Capcom!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The wonderful thing about hindsight is that we could know what's going to happen before it actually happens. Back in 1998 we didn't know that Ada was going to be this badass spy that backstabs anyone and everyone to achieve her goal. She is wonderful in Resident Evil 4 and despite Resident Evil 6 being disappointing overall, Ada's role in the game was one of the better parts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In Resident Evil 4 there was a mode called "Assignment Ada", which in itself was homage to the original Resident Evil 2. Remember we talk about the "B" Scenario? Well this was the Resi 4 equivalent of it. "Assignment Ada" shows you what Ada did "behind the scenes" whilst Leon was playing through the events of the game. You play as Ada in "Assignment Ada" and find out what she was up to, helping you out behind your back, getting herself into trouble before, of course, backstabbing Leon all over again at the end. It was a really cool part of Resi 4.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So why don't we have an "Assignment Ada" campaign in Resident Evil 2 Remake? I'm sure fans wouldn't mind even if it was paid DLC to be honest. What fans would love to know is what Ada got up to in the events of Resident Evil 2 - whether that's the original game or the Remake, regardless, fans want to see it. Capcom can put some story together and let her take on Birkin or Tyrant or perhaps another boss, perhaps the Moth boss or a Giant Spider, both of what was not put in the Remake for reasons unknown?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is something fans want and I'd love it for Capcom to already be working on this without us even knowing!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One disappointment from fans and myself when it comes to Resi 2 Remake was simply that we weren't on the streets for very long. The Raccoon City streets are iconic, and we only spend probably 10 minutes maximum on them, and for the most part they don't even resemble how they did in the original game. I was happy when playing Claire's campaign that they did put in the basketball court and the bus, but overall I think fans wanted the same streets of 1998 done in 2019, and even more streets to explore before arriving at the police station, but in the end it felt we got less. It's what I would have done if I had any power at Capcom at all, it was a bit disappointing but it's done now.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>4. Brad Vickers</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Where was Brad? Again it's not a big part of the original game but it's something people question when it comes to what was missing. It was great having what was basically an Easter Egg in the original game, and it did have a purpose because you had to take care of Brad to get access to alternative costumes in the game. So to take him out of the game was just disappointing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In fact they could have made a similar scenario with Brad where we find out what happened to him, either during the events of Resi 2 or Resi 3, or both. It was, after all, a matter of days between the events of the games so they could have easily had a situation happen either where Nemesis didn't actually fully kill Brad, or have him added to the Ghost Survivors campaign that's already been done as DLC. Either way, just removing him completely wasn't the best move in my opinion.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Again, not my idea but it's certainly something that would be awesome! Why not have a mode in the game where we control Tyrant? We could either make it so we actually have to go through a gauntlet of enemies, like 4th Survivor, before either taking on William Birkin (revenge!) or taking on Leon or Claire as a final boss.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another way of doing Tyrant Mode is simply have the campaign of Claire and/or Leon but we swap them for Tyrant instead, and we just play the game as normal. It'd have to be a midget Tyrant though or one that can bend through small rooms because he is massive! Either way, I'd love a DLC where we can play as one of the most iconic bad guys of Resident Evil, and I know I'm not alone in wanting that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So there we go! I hope you've enjoyed reading this article. I'm sure some people won't agree with everything I've said, and perhaps may think I'm being too critical. I promise you I have nothing but love for the Remake Capcom have given us. These are just small criticisms or tweaks I'd have suggested if I, in some fantasy world, got a chance to work with Capcom in hindsight. Overall this is a brilliant Remake.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">By the way - I'd like to also mention that as a huge fan of William Birkin - Capcom, thank you. Thank you so much for doing him complete justice. I wrote an article on this website back in 2011 about how great <a href="http://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2011/08/mercy-side-transformations-of-william.html">The Transformations of William Birkin</a> were, and how much I loved them. Birkin is a brilliant monster and he looks just as good in 2019 as he did in 1998. They really did make him just as ugly and monstrous and as brutal as he was all of those years ago. Thank you Capcom.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Hi everyone, and welcome to another one of my Mixtapes. In case you're not sure what a Mixtape is, here's an explanation...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>A Mixtape is a playlist of a certain genre, band or era. The list is generally 80 minutes long, the same length of a blank CD, with further recommendations if some of the songs aren't to your taste. Remember kids, downloading is wrong!</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The Sega Mega Drive (or Genesis if you're from the US) is one of my favourite consoles. It was the first console I ever had as my own, and it holds a very strong sentimental value. Some of the music from this 32-bit era was truly tremendous. It's amazing how much power the console had at the time, in terms of producing great tunes. The 64-bit era and beyond changed music in video games forever because they could play actual genuine music, but back when the Mega Drive was around that wasn't the case.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>So I wanted to showcase my favourite songs from my favourite games from this era of video gaming.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's actually the 20 year anniversary of "Mechanical Animals", one of Manson's finest records. It doesn't get the same attention "Antichrist Superstar" does, but that takes nothing away about how truly incredible the album is. When people ask me what my favourite albums of all time are, I always say "The Downward Spiral" by Nine Inch Nails, "Antichrist Superstar" and "Mechanical Animals". It's truly a masterpiece. I did a review on the album when I was around 14 years old, it's a bit embarrassing looking at it now but if you do want to read it, it's archived on this website <a href="http://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2010/08/retro-review-mechanical-animals-by.html">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On the topic of old posts, last year I listed my Top 15 Marilyn Manson cover versions if you want to read that, click </span><a href="http://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2017/09/my-top-15-favourite-marilyn-manson.html" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway, digressing. So today I'm posting something I came up with nearly a year ago actually. When Manson was releasing "Heaven Upside Down", I had a thought. I wondered, will Marilyn Manson create a second "Greatest Hits" style album?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The reason behind this is pretty simple. Manson's last album was his tenth album. When he released his fifth album, he released "Lest We Forget: The Best Of", which is pretty much a "Greatest Hits" album of, what is now, half of his career, album-wise. So it does beg the question, will Manson consider making a "Best of Vol 2"?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is a strong possibility that Manson may not make this album. Why? Because, as much as it might hurt some hardcore fans to admit, Manson's last five albums aren't even close to being on par with his first five. Even is Manson does consider doing a compilation album, he may not even do a "Best of Vol 2", he might actually do an actual "Greatest Hits" album, which may or may not be 2 CDs and may feature predominantly songs from the peak of his career. But, regardless of if it happens or not, if it's a "Vol 2" or an all-round "Greatest Hits" or not, it got me thinking, if "Vol 2" did come out, what would it look like?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I did a bit of thinking and a bit of number crunching. "Vol 1" was 20 songs, so I wanted "Vol 2" to also be 20 songs. It is harder than you'd think as well to predict a "Vol 2", because Manson hasn't even released 20 singles off 5 albums. He's released 9. So then I had to think, well what songs off each album that were not singles would feature? What songs were played live more than others? What songs had music videos despite not being singles? What albums are even "better" or "more popular"? Would he release a single to promote the album, like he did with "Personal Jesus" and "Vol 1"? He's recently released a cover version of "Cry Little Sister" and to my knowledge it's actually a music single. So believe it or not, it wasn't the easiest project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But I gave it my best shot, and this is what I came up with:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well, if you know me personally, you probably knew more than 50 days ago that my #1 game was going to be Final Fantasy IX. It would possibly top my favourite games of all time list, if I were to ever make one, which I may well do one day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">FF9 to me is everything. Sure, I didn't give it a perfect score of 5 stars, but I don't think a game has been released that I'd rate a perfect score. FF9 has some flaws, some frustrating moments even, but it has HEART. It has more heart than any game I've ever played, period. This game makes me emotional in so many different ways. The story is perfect, the characters are just a great bunch, the music is timeless, the graphics are beautiful in their flawed way. I just have so much love for this game it's unreal. I even named my daughter, Vivi, after the black mage in this game. That black mage is, one of the best characters in video game history by the way.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">FF9 is not the first Final Fantasy game I played. It's not even the first Final Fantasy I'd suggest people play. It's for a very particular audience. It has an old school, nostalgic, poetic feel to it. It does play like the classic Final Fantasy games but it's also harder than other games, probably intentionally as a nod to the very classic FF games on the NES. But the way the story is told, the twists and turns, the excellent cast of varied characters, and, for me, the most perfect ending, is what makes this game truly special. I do struggle to put into words why I love this game so much, but this has been my best effort. I just love this game with all my heart, and for me, undisputedly</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, is my Favourite Playstation 1 Game.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I first saw Resident Evil 1 back in the nineties I was mindblown... and terrified. I'd never seen a horror video game before and what they did with Resident Evil 1 was really scary, even if it does look dated now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But then Resident Evil 2 happened. Resi 2 for me is possibly the best in the entire series, or at least on par with Resi 4. But back in 1998, everything Resident Evil 1 did before it was enhanced so much in Resi 2. The horror was better, the graphics were sublime, the characters were more engaging and the acting was a huge improvement. The storyline was brilliant, and how they managed to get, in theory, 4 different stories in two different scenarios was impressive. The monsters were far more terrifying on the whole, and the two big bad guys, Mr X and William Birkin were tremendous and frightening in very different ways. Speaking of William Birkin - if you haven't read my tribute to his greatness, you can read it <a href="http://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2011/08/mercy-side-transformations-of-william.html">here</a>. Let's put it this way, I cannot WAIT to see him in the fully fleshed out remake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Resi 2 for me is simply one of the best games ever made. It's certainly one of the best horror games ever, if not THE best horror game of all time. I've completed this game more than any other Resi game and for good reason. It's just a classic in every way possible.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When it comes to listing the games that influenced me and my life the most, this game is very possibly top of the list. Sure, I like some (not many) games more than FF7, but this game is everything to me. It was my first RPG game. It was my first Final Fantasy game. It was the first video game to make me cry. It was the first many other things too. This game opened up the world of video games to me possibly more than any other game. Final Fantasy VII was probably the first time I experienced video games not just as games, but as genuine pieces of art.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">FF7's story is insane. The characters are individually eclectic and memorable. The music is just beautiful. The graphics, sure, aren't the best, but the battle system was simple and innovative. The summons were just mesmerising at the time. Sephiroth is simply one of the best villains of all time, that's not even a dispute. The game meant so many things to so many people, and, of course, now we have a remake in the works. This game was... just amazing. I struggle to put into words what this game means to me and to many others like me, but I hope I've done it some justice. It's my third favourite Playstation 1 game, sure, it's not #1 but that takes nothing away from this game. It could have easily been #1, and is for many other people. But there's just two more games that just do ever-so slightly more for me than this. You'll find out what tomorrow and Thursday.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What a game. Simply, for me, this is one of the best, if not THE best, platformer of all time. It's certainly the best Crash Bandicoot game ever made. From start to finish, I just thoroughly enjoy this game, and nearly every single level is a smash hit. All the variations of the levels in the game are perfectly placed, and the inclusion to put Coco in the mix was a great move - some of her levels are some of the best levels ever designed, and of course, it helped get some of the female gamers into the game, something that was a little bit more difficult in the late nineties.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Adding the time trial mode was also a move of genius. It added another fantastic layer of longevity to the game, and getting the platinum relics on every level is a welcome challenge. Cortex is also on form in this game, and the addition of Uka Uka as a villain to combat Aku Aku was just perfect for the storyline. It's simply one of the best games ever made, regardless of genre, I absolutely adore this game.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When it comes to fighting games, for me, Tekken 3 is king. We've never had a better fighting game before it, or since. I know that might be an opinion you don't agree with, but that's what I think, simple as that!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Regardless of if it's the best ever or not, you can't deny the improvement Tekken 3 was over Tekken 2 and Tekken 1. It was... INSANELY better. Everything came together with Tekken 3, the moves were more fluid, the combos were better, the character roster was simply exceptional, the graphics were just beautiful for back in 1998, the bonus features of Tekken Force Mode and Tekken Ball Mode were so much fun and the character endings were simply so much better, overall, than the ones given for Tekken 2. I just love Tekken 3, and sure, looking now it does look a bit dated, but at the time it was just a stunning masterpiece. No fighting game could compare, not Street Fighter, not Mortal Kombat, nothing, back in 1998 could compare. It was truly head above heels above everything that came out before it, and in my opinion, since as well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think I may have said this before, but again I'll say it, I do think this is better than any Mario Kart game. It's probably because I was a Sony Playstation kid growing up and not a Nintendo kid, but I clocked so many hours on this game it was unbelievable. The one negative thing about this game is simply, that there's not as much access to 4 player racing, unless you bought the multitap, something that was a lot easier on the Nintendo 64 and the Nintendo Wii with their setups. But when it comes to single player mode, I truly believe this game is the king of kart racers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What I love about Crash Team Racing is the single player mode, where you drive to each destination and race for the trophy, CTR tokens and relics, and each area of the map has its own boss. I just think this layout is really cool and each individual track in Crash Team Racing is very different from the last. Sure, you could argue, that some the tracks in CTR are heavily influenced from Mario Kart, and I'd agree with that statement. But I just love the slickness of the racing, I love the differences in abilities within each character, and, of course, I love the Crash Bandicoot flavour of a kart racing game. Lots of people are asking for this game to be remastered, and I agree, I'd love nothing more than to see it re-done, but right now I hope that Activision concentrate on making a brand new Crash Bandicoot game, rather than rely on this which probably would make them a lot of money - just keep the fans waiting a little longer!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Everything that was great in WWF Smackdown 1 was vastly improved in Smackdown 2... apart from the graphics I'd say! The music was much better, the customisation was top notch, all the unlockables were good and very detailed. The Season mode was far more slick and in depth. Simply, everything was so much better in Smackdown 2 and I spent many many hours playing through this game, creating my characters, creating multiple characters and trying to also create newer wrestlers who came into the WWF/WWE too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This game came out in the same year as WWF Smackdown 1. You could argue if the games were created this way today, in a modern day video game world that the second one would have been a upgrade patch from the first game, because really they didn't do a lot to the engine of the game, or the graphics. But everything they did was bigger and better. It reminds me a lot of what Valve did with Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, which were released a year after each other. The second games are just brilliant, not that the first games were bad, just that the second ones added more quality and depth. WWF Smackdown 2 was simply one of the best wrestling games ever made, if not THE best wrestling game ever made. I love it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is probably the best Worms game ever created. It's certainly my favourite, and the one I go to whenever I fancy a game. I've played this game so many times with so many different friends I've lost count. It's just a classic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first Worms game was great, but it was released at the wrong time. The world was getting ready for 3D games, bigger and brighter pixels. The first game had a good base but looked poor. That's when Worms 2 and Worms Armageddon came in. They made the graphics bigger, brighter and bolder. They made the game funnier. They made the weapons far more outrageous. The two games are just brilliant. They then tried to make Worms 3D and that just never felt right.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Worms Armageddon is where the Worms games peakedand I'll always love playing it, it provides the perfect balance of comedy and strategy, it's for me the perfect party game for adults. I just love it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The original Resident Evil 1 is easy to mock now, the graphics look dated, the acting is cheesy as hell and the Remake from 2002 was just wonderful. But... if you played this game in the mid-to-late nineties, it was so fricking scary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Like it or not, you can't mention horror video games without mentioning the Resident Evil series. You can debate what the best horror games are all you want, but if it wasn't for this game, it's very unlikely the other games would have followed, or at least, the process would have been a hell of a lot slower. It wasn't the first horror game, sure, but it was the first major 3D blockbuster horror video game, and we need to applaud it for that. And, you know, I still play it now. Sure, it does look dated, and the lines are just hilarious, but the actual core gameplay is still really solid. It's also a tough game, especially if you're Chris Redfield and you have the lack of help Jill has.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There's so many iconic moments in the game too, the first time you see the dogs smash through the windows, the first time you see Yawn, Plant 42 comes right out of left field, and, of course, you have the Hunters, to this day, probably the most frustrating Resident Evil monsters in Resi history. And the cheesy lines are great, especially the Jill Sandwich and lockpick ones! Resi 1 is just a classic, and it's a shame nowadays it doesn't get the love it deserves, because it's an absolute belter.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As a huge Final Fantasy fan, surely, you knew that the FF games were going to be highly placed on this list?! But it wasn't all plain sailing for FF8. It is, by a noticeable margin, my least favourite FF game on the Sony Playstation 1. But again, it's an incredible game. I actually reviewed the game back in 2006 when I was a teenager, and looking back on the review it's not the best article I've done. Either way, you can read it <a href="http://johnnymercyside.blogspot.com/2011/01/retro-review-final-fantasy-viii.html">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All three Final Fantasy games on the PS1 are classics. FF8 was very different at the time though. Firstly, the graphics were just INSANE. Sure they may look dated now, but, to be honest, you'd be hard pressed to find a better looking game on the PS1 across the entire game selection. The FMVs are just gorgeous, and the character models were great for 1998. The Junction system really changed things for FF8 comparatively with the previous entries in the series. Your summon monsters control everything, from your magic to your abilities, from what elements you're strong against and even enemy encounter rates. Drawing magic in FF8 is where you get your strength however, and this is a very laborious task, hence the reason why I find this game to be the weakest of the trilogy on the PS1. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But the story is marvelous, the music is great, the battling is lots of fun when you don't depend on drawing magic. The summon monsters look absolutely badass and some of the locations in the game are just incredible. FF8 is definitely one of the best RPGs ever made, but, in my opinion, there were better entries into the Final Fantasy series.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Spyro 3 for me, like Crash 3, is as good as the Spyro games ever got. There's so many parallels between the building of the Crash and Spyro games - the first ones set the foundations, the second games raised the bar significantly, then the third games really set the icing on the respective cakes. Sure, I may prefer Spyro 1 to Spyro 2, but I'm sure if I actually played Spyro 2 growing up, my opinion would have changed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But Spyro 3 is a masterpiece. With the abilities that you learn from the first game, they added a lot more mini games in this Spyro game. And instead of saving adult dragons like in Spyro 1, you have to save the dragon eggs and help them hatch into baby dragons - which, by the way, are super cute. The music is splendid, the Sparx minigames are super fun 2D style games and the plot feels a lot more fleshed out in comparison to Spyro 2. The level designs are excellent, and the layout of each world is really well done, something that Spyro 2 really confused me with when I played that. All in all Spyro 3 is simply one of the best platformers ever made, and certainly the best in the Spyro trilogy, and I can't wait to play it on the Remaster in September.</span><br />
