I've recently started this series with the first game (shocker) and it's rough. You've got some serious aimbot A.I. soldiers ready to womp you, some psychotic phantom girl chasing you making things real spoopy, and to top it all off they impale you with a stake gun that you in turn get to nail corpses against walls with... and that's just the first game. I can't imagine the nonsense in the third installment... SO FIND OUT FOR ME!
