Ummmm I might be missing something here but where's Resident Evil ZERO?!? Billy Coen was the most rugged resident evil character ever, and there was something extremely cool about the train level, running on the rooftop through the slashing rain and speeding night. My personal favorite.
Yeah, I thought RE: Zero was pretty awesome, and cool how it lead to Rebecca being in RE:1. I really like the old ones and trying to figure out all the puzzles and which items to carry, but the controls were kinda annoying, actually very annoying. RE 4 on the other hand had great controls, allowing for a whole new level of gameplay, but it seems they forgot about some of the classic puzzle elements.
