No. 14: Resident Evil 4 – 100 Greatest Games Ever

Capcom decided to take the Resident Evil series in a new direction with the fourth installment and we're sure glad they did. The game offered a new kind of survival horror, that panicky, "crazed villagers are swarming me!" action horror. There weren't even any zombies this time, though!

But instead we have the longest and most epic game in the series, a new over-the-shoulder camera that soon became the standard for every other third-person action game, and cutscenes that will kill you if you're not careful. Other developers have taken these ideas and ruined them but they worked to perfection here.

Pick up the Wii version if you haven't already, since it offers superior aiming and graphics.
