Still, this title’s low place on the list hurts me. While it was critically lambasted for its departure from horror, it’s still the best-selling entry in the series. The game was littered with quick time events, and its denouement included fighting a zombie Tyrannosaurus rex with a Jeep. It’s the game that took Resident Evil’s cinematic ambitions to farcical, absurd extremes, almost ditching its horror roots in all but name and aesthetics. This placement shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who follows the series.
