Name your favorite RE game.

Okay. You guys should know by now the purpose of this thread. What's your favorite RE game (counting the main series, not spin-offs), and why?

I have to say RE4 is my favorite. Just such satisfying gameplay, and so many ways to play through it. Awesome weapons, cool characters, and lots of unlockables make the deal sweeter.

The original static angle games are great, but I prefer a bit more action. RE4 had the perfect balance of both, in my opinion.

RE5 was great, but it was too short, lacked horror, and I didn't like Sheva. I appreciate the improvements in gameplay (more hand-to-hand attacks, etc), but it didn't do it for me like RE4. It also doesn't help that
