Resident Evil 4 is so cool. I think "cool" fits the description more than any other word for this game. I played it for the first time this summer, and vividly remember doing certain things and laughing and jumping in my seat because of how cool they were. There's no feeling quite like kneecapping a zombie, then roundhouse kicking it in the face so hard that its head explodes. Same goes for suplexing them, but even moreso. Leon is a great protagonist, with tons of cheesy but lovable one-liners and a definite upgrade in ability since RE2. The villains and plot are ridiculous--straight out of a B-list action movie from the 90's that Steven Seagal would star in--but it's never really a bad thing. This game is fun the whole way through, and really is one of the most iconic action games ever.
