This and Metroid Prime are definitely games I could see as Game of the Decade.

Resident Evil 4 felt like a revolution, atleast for me. Sure, they changed the Resident Evil formula a bit, but in a good way. Some of the horror was taken away, but instead you got smarter enemies. I remember fighting in the village, and climbing up a ladder to find a safe spot to kill the enemies from. But these bastards climb up after you! Not just that, they climb through windows, smashes through doors...The feeling of never being 100% safe was great. The level were you are in a cabin having to defend yourself against a horde of villagers really made you feel like a trapped animal. You could barricade windows and doors but that didn't stop them.
I hope we will see a RE 4-2 soon :)

yes I feel the same way.  I still find the game to be atmospheric and creepy for a lot of those reasons.  Replaced shock value with intensity and realism of neve being able to escape.  Think it was a good transition. 

It was a survival horror game with less horror and more survival.

Yep it didn't need the shock value to still be a creepy game.  As soon as that chainsaw reved, you were creeped enough as it was haha.
