Hi, big fan of surrivalhorror here and waiting for re7.
I first played re on playstation over 10 years ago, got stuck, stopped playing but resident evil (and silent hill) was a game I always came back to. I got intrested in resident evil again after gettin re4 on pc, but 5-6 didn't do it for me (altho re5 is a good game) due to the lack off surrival horror.
Where re has stood out to me is the complexity and the quality of the game.
Revelations is my current favorite.
