Celebrating Resident Evil: The iconic series that helped shape a genre
(N4G GameCube)

Gary Bailey: `The Resident Evil series is iconic. No matter your thoughts on the recent numbered releases, or your thoughts on the series in general, theres no denying that without Resident Evil, the survival horror genre simply wouldnt exist. Or at the very least, it wouldnt exist in the way it does today. Games like Silent Hill, Outlast and Dino Crisis probably wouldnt have been made, and we would have been robbed of the joys of Resident Evil 4. Everything started with that classic first title, released back in 1996 on Sony`s then-new PlayStation console.`
