“…Hannibal Rising did make all the others look semi bad…”

“…Absolutely the worst out of all the mentioned. Even worse than the one I nominated…”

This has won simply because it did just that – advertise to us not only the menace, but the size of the shark in question.

With one of the best characters in the horror video game genre this game is definitely much deserved for the Best Horror Video Game award.

With Leon Kennedy as one of the best characters in video games in my opinion and the fact that you wonder what is gonna happen next this game just has you caught in it from the beginning. When you first encounter the “licker” and its spit drips from its tongue or when Ada Wong throws you the gun at the end to kill the boss this game is the best of the series and best game.
