When Resident Evil first came out, it introduced millions of gamers to the survival horror genre it solidified and defined. It also helped make zombies the oversaturated theme it is today. Well over a decade later, the franchise is still going strong with dozens of games across multiple gaming platforms. Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X recently made its debut on PSN and XBLA, but it originated on the underappreciated SEGA Dreamcast as Resident Evil CODE: Veronica.

Everyone has their own opinion about what video games are the best that have ever graced a console. What makes this top ten list different and totally unique is that my opinion is, in fact, the correct opinion, whereas the opinions of the past are incorrect and undeniably inferior.

Bruce’s films not only showcased the philosophy behind his creation, Jeet Kune Do (a martial art whose core philosophy is to learn from many different arts and create something suited for you), they also brought the Asian martial arts film genre into more contemporary settings instead of the period pieces. Lee’s influence would lead to more international stars, like Jackie Chan and Jet Li. And all three have had video games based on them.

So we’ve recently seen a lot of other popular game series jumping on the bandwagon that God of War started. “Oh! Oh! I want to be all shiny and HD too! Put me in a collectible package that makes it easy for fans to get all of my games in one place!” So far we have Sly Cooper, Team Ico’s works of genius and pretty much every series Ubisoft has. Well, that’s not enough. Not for me. So I’m gonna give you the top ten franchises that deserve the PS3make treatment. Oh, and before you ask, yes, there is a good reason why there are no Xbox games here. Microsoft’s console so far hasn’t done anything like the God of War Collection.

Earlier my two visiting friends were playing FIFA 2007 on my Playstation 2.  During a Portugal / Argentina match, a sequence of events occurred that resulted in seven, count them, seven corner kicks on the same attack.
