Why do people put Resident Evil2 over REsident Evil 1?
Its one thing to take an existing game, give it a reskin and add to gameplay to make it slightly better...and its another to invent the genre and provide a brand new never seen experience.
You tell me... which resident evil did this?
As far as OP is concerned...
I choose ps1, but you forgot the best PS1 game... Castlevania SotN.
However I do think that the 16 bit generation is the best gaming generation of all time, due to the intense competition of Snes vs Genesis.
