The series hit an all-time low imo on Resident Evil 5 the weakest game in the series, but I even enjoy poor Resident Evil games.

Granted, I've never played the pre-RE 5 games (no Playstation or Gamecube, but I'm sure I'll eventually get around to finding that **** at some game shop that sells old stuff like that), but I very much enjoyed 5 and 6. They weren't at all scary, but I just love third-person shooters. FPS games just have two-dimensional gameplay, dumbed down for the casual gamers, that gets old after about a half-hour (even the good ones), but third-person FPS usually have something else going for them, other than the shooting part: Tomb Raider is also a platformer, Mass Effect's power's and intricate conversation system, and the newer RE games make gameplay intentionally more challenging by limiting ammunition and making the shooting mechanics so that you can't just be a one man killing machine (Yeah, I know that's a staple of the series, but it still works in the newer games).
I'd play 5 and 6 over pretty much any non-Fallout FPS I can thin of, and Fallout has its own reasons for being more than just an FPS, so it doesn't count as far as I'm concerned.
