I know what your thinking, the Resident Evil series has been out forever, and I've only just got into it. Well, a few weeks ago I got Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (GC) to play on my Wii, and recently I bought Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition (Wii) and I am engrossed in them both (though since both play very differently and are set in completely different environments and feature different protagonists, though share the same basic story, I find it hard to understand which is the kind of gameplay the people got hyped about). Resi 3 plays (and looks) an awful lot like Grim Fandango (PC) and I find it very addictive, though the game does freak me out, as there's just you, a woman (nothing wrong with that) in the midst of a seemingly empty, destroyed city. Individual parts freak me out as there are puzzles and gunfights, as well as (this is the worst part for me), constant attacks from the Nemesis. Resi 4 on the other hand, is more action packed, and very reminiscent of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre setting (except in Spain) and (I haven't got far enough into either stories to figure out how the virus got there) there is a distinct difference in the enemies, though zombies, the ones in 4 seem alot more human-like.
Also recently I bought Resident Evil: Apocalypse in a DVD 3-set (along with The Punisher and Hellboy) and am currently in the process of watching it (I'll update my opinions afterwards) and after watching the the beginning, the summary of the original Resident Evil film, I realised that I have seen that too. I hope to see Resident Evil: Extinction in the cinemas soon.
Well, here is the first (of probably many) Resident Evil blogs.
Stay classy GameSpot :)
