Resident Evil, To zombie or not to zombie? Options

[unitself]

I was suprised to see that there wasn't a thread about this series in here.
So, I will make one!
um... here it is!

Ok, right now, I am playing RE1 re-make for the GC and I am loving it. It looks great and it has plenty of tense and spooky moments. For some reason, I am able to control this one much better than any of the other RE games I have played.
I have also played and finished RE2 (DC) and RE3: Nemesis (DC). I got about halfway thru RE: Code Veronica (DC), but I got stuck in a bad save with no health and lots of badguys so I stopped playing. I read that they are porting this one to the GC soon. No re-make like with RE1 though. Too bad, I would have bought it again to see it all prettied up GC style.
I am SERIOUSLY looking forward to RE4. The screenshots and the preview movie look freaking awesome. I hope they can find some way to keep the art quality up and still have it all be rendered in realtime. I know there will be a hit in quality, but I just hope it's not too bad.
I've also played Dino Crisis (DC). I kinda liked the way the backgrounds were psudo realtime. I prefer zombies to dinos though, although Dino Crisis 3 looks cool as hell.
Anyways, this is just me rambling about RE games.
Thoughts? Anyone else like this series as well?
What about Carrier? Silent Hill? Alone in the Dark? Blue Stinger? D2? Illbleed? Nightmare Creatures 2? Shadow Man (reaching a bit here)? Any others?

On the subject of ED: I liked this games presentation, and how you played as a lot of different characters, but it just didn't have the "hook" that RE or SH did for me. I beat it 3 times and got the true ending, but after that I just knew I would never want to play it again. The insanity effects looked cool and were amusing, but after the first 10 or so times it happens, you know when they are coming and then they lose their purpose, which is to freak you out. Also, the pillar-activating puzzle at the end 2 chapters that you had to do 2 DAMN TIMES within 20 minutes was a pain in the ass, and needlessly repeated.

Also, in RE news...I just picked up RE Gaiden for $5 brand new! Good news to you Barry Burton fans...he is the main playable character! You can also be Leon and some new person... Bad news, though...the game licks balls!
