I just recently became interested in this genre of video games. It's kind of strange that I actually took a liking to it, because I am quite cowardly.

I think these types of games are pretty neat in the fact that you have to mostly rely on your puzzle-solving skills and evasive actions, rather than just over-the-top violence.

My friend let me borrow RE4 for the weekend, and I really liked this game. I might try to find a copy of it. However, I haven't played any other titles in the series, so I might have to brush up on my RE history a bit.

I'm also interested in the Fatal Frame series. I haven't gotten my hands on them yet, but the concept seems very intriguing to me. Exorcising ghosts by taking a picture of them seems like it could make for some interesting gameplay.

Any particular series you care for, or likes/dislikes for these games?
