cool man. I'm really enjoying yr blog as it's starting to pick up. Here's a surprise -- I haven't played RE4! I love the GCN port of the first. I should really get 4 eh?

Thanks, I am trying to pick up the pace, I have struggled to find time but am now starting to get content out, and better content I feel.

RE4 to me is the best in the series and the Wii version is the best version of it.

I don't have a Wii. BUt the GCN version sounds great huh?

The Gamecube and Wii versions are the same other than the extra content from the PS2 version being present in the Wii version a well as the lack of motion controls.

Wii > GC > PS2

I'm not into motion controls, so sounds like the GCN port is my guy.

Generally I prefer analog sticks over motion control, but it works well for the game as it uses a tank style aiming (you stand still while you turn on the spot to shoot) so it is much faster and more accurate using the wiimote.

However it is still a kick ass game, I highly suggest picking up the GC copy!

I got really used to using the GCN controller for RE1. I preferred it over the PS1 controller actually. So yeah. I'll keep my eyes peeled for RE4. You think I should skip over 2 and 3 and jump straight to 4? As much as I loved 1, I never got any of the sequels.

I feel the gameplay mechanics of the first three have not aged that well, I much prefer the gameplay style of 4 and 5, but its a personal thing really. 2 and 3 both are good games (as is Zero and Code Veronica), to get the plot better I prefer Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles but that's just me.

If you can get them on the cheap on the Gamecube I would pick them up and give them a play, it depends how much you like the original formula.

oh yeah I forgot that I have played Zero.
