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?

hey Crushinator.
Today, I went out looking for RE: Gaiden. Your $5 story was too much for me to pass up.
Whelp, the GameStop near me didn't have it. They did have Alone in The Dark 4 (GBC) though for cheap so I got that. Then, I went to another place that specializes in used and hard to find games. They had RE. Oh, they had it alright... FOR $25!!! WTFF??? I did not purchase.

side RE1 note - I finally got past the big plant mini-boss thing. I looked online for the answer cause I just couldn't get past it. Now, I need to super back track cause I realized that I somehow missed the grenade launcher about 6 hours ago. Nice!!
