RE in game informer's top 200 games

[Twili-Chan]

Just recently the magazine Game Informer released their newest issue, in which they posted their top 200 games in response to the VGA's this Saturday at 8.

#18: Resident Evil 4
#41: Resident Evil 2
#106: Resident Evil

I think it's awesome that some resident evil games have made this list blaugh

what do you think?  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

I think RE4 doesn't deserve to be on that list at all, let alone above RE2 and the original RE.

Biohazard EXTREME

I think RE4 doesn't deserve to be on that list at all, let alone above RE2 and the original RE.

Completely agree.

I could care less if a gaming publication ranked their favorite games. Most of the time, there overrated and and full of nonsense.
Its like their being considerate by putting RE and RE2 with RE4 in their top favs. ASSHOLES!  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Just out of curiosity. What was #1?  

[MM-212 Beta]

I think its the original Legend of Zelda for the NES.

Yeah, it's a pretty generic list. "Let's make an old game #1 so that we can show them how appreciative we are of the history of video games."

It's like making a "Best video game characters" list and saying, "Mario is #1." And every time Mario is #1. Now, I have nothing against the idea that Mario is #1, but if Mario is always #1, they need to stop making these "Best character" lists. Same with best game. The winner is so predictable that all it's there for is so that the fanboys can say, "Hey, look! My game made the list! Yays!"  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Yeah, well, I always said, Mario isn't really a character as much as a mascot. Is he important? Is he iconic? Absolutely. But he's not a character.
And heck, #2 spot on GameSpot was won by Gordon Freeman. Gimme a freakin break. That's like saying, "I'm the best video game character."

And the original Star Fox makes the list, but not Star Fox 64? I'm sorry, but Star Fox 64 blows the original out of the water. Anyone who knows anything will tell you Star Fox 64 is the ********' Star Fox game. First game with rumble and s**t too. And no Alone in the Dark? No Snatcher? ******** this list.

A. Original Star Fox > Star Fox 64.

B. No Alone in the Dark or Snatcher. I agree, ******** this list.

C. As for RE4, it comes back to the fact that as an RE game, I wish I had a knife near me right now to cut its throat. As an action game, though, it was a redefining experience.

That doesn't mean I'm defending it, just an observation. ******** RE4 too. xd  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

I don't think it was redefining. I think it implemented really well what others before it tried to accomplish with lesser success. Just like RE1, I suppose. But still, people revere RE4 like it's the first ever action shooter.

Amen Thee Stranger! Star Fox 64 was the first N64 game I ever owned...And the last as well! Yeah, I kept it longer then both the N64 Legend of Zelda games (Though I still like them more then Star Fox 64. I just got rid of them because I got the collector's edition for Gamecube). Anyways, yeah, Star Fox 64...That game was the effing sh**! So bad a**.

Yeah, I agree, that list is pretty generic. And yeah, I find it odd that the list was mostly made up of games that inspired others, and they didn't include Alone in the Dark...  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, it's because Resident Evil 1 was the very first survival horror game ever. And RE4 was the very first action shooter game ever. ninja  

[Canas Renvall]

I dunno, I would just chalk it up to nostalgia. I just feel like Star Fox plays better. Not smoother, but just... better. And the music is just awesome. Everytime I enter the Space Armada I feel all epic. razz Not to say I didn't like SF64 a lot, but I just liked SF more.
