Resident Evil 4

Also known as: RE 4,Resident Evil IV,Resident Evil IV

No more rotting, plodding zombies; say hello to heart-ripping, insectoid cult members

It seems Capcom is quite taken with this new gameplay style, as it's designed an entire separate game around it. The Mercenaries mode puts Leon and other figureheads from RE4 inside an arcade-style gore fest where the only goal is killing armies of the blood-soaked villagers and their cloaked friends. Simply put, Resident Evil 4 is the tightest, most accessible game in the series and one of the best games out there.
