Resident Evil 4
A revolution that changed action games forever. Leon Kennedy searches for the president's kidnapped daughter in a Spanish village full of fanaticized villagers, and the over-the-shoulder camera together with dynamic action defined the genre for a decade to come. Tension, a great arsenal, unforgettable bosses and a perfect rhythm of shooting and exploration. Resident Evil 4 debuted exclusively on GameCube and is still ranked among the best games in history. An absolute must for every gamer.

GameCube was the lead development platform and is still regarded as the sharpest, most detailed version: textures, lighting, and animation smoothness all look their best there. PlayStation 2 received the game a few months later that same year, 2005, and added exclusive extra content — including the bonus Separate Ways mode starring Ada Wong and new weapons — but its weaker hardware forced a drop in texture quality, leaving it looking somewhat blurrier and running slightly less smoothly than the GameCube original. If you want Resident Evil 4 looking its absolute best, pick the GameCube version; if you want the most content, the PS2 extras are worth having.
