i am finally playing this game. I played SH2 when it first came out, skipped 3 and played 4 after i saw the movie. I went back and just beat 0rigins. I was able to track down the first three games for relatively cheap. and i must say, playing sh1 on ps3, is still creepy and scary. it might not be as polished the later entries, and definatly not as polished as the upcoming 5 still.  if you can get your hands on this game, and like real scary movies and games. if i had to twist this into the movie world. and compare RE to SH. i would say RE is obviously more like Romero's Living Dead series, with a little X files thrown in. While SH with the music, mood and atmospheric setting wise its closer to psycho.
