Resident Evil 5
Published By: Capcom
Developed By: Capcom
Genre: Third-Person Action

     “Resident Evil 5″ will be one of the most entertaining experiences you’ll have all year if not you’re whole life, and I mean this compare to any movie, sporting event or donkey show you see this year. The “RE” series continues to thrive with amazing graphics and sound and an engaging story that most action games never fully establish. To say the least this game was the best horror/action experience I’ve had since…well…”Resident Evil 4″.

The dangers of not flossing.

     But unlike “RE 4″ you don’t have to go at it alone this time through and this is what makes “RE 5″ really shine. The Co-Op campaign is where its at with this game. It’s one thing for you to be shitting your pants as infected villagers begin to close in on you but it’s even cooler to hear your friend scream “What the fuck is that?” over X-Box Live when some kind of insane creature makes an appearance. And once the campaign is done there are plenty of action packed Mercenary missions that you and your friend can shoot your way through. However, there are two main characters and one of them is a hot chick named Sheva, so prepared yourself for some awkwardness as you hear your friend’s voice while you check out his character’s ass and rack. Just waring you.

“I’ve got something I could put in you to make you feel better.”

     Now whenever anyone talks about a “Resident Evil” game the topic of controls always comes up and my replay to those gamers that feel that the contorls of “Resident Evil 5″ are lame is “sack up pussy boys!” No, you can’t strafe, jump and shoot you’re way through the boards. This isn’t “Halo”. And thank God its not set-up that way because the whole notion of having to stop-to-shoot is to create suspense and “RE 5″ creates this ten fold. This whole bitching about RE 5’s controls makes me think if these same losers would complain about not being able to drive a Lamborghini because they don’t know how to drive stick? 

     In conclusion, “Resident Evil 5″ has taken everything you loved about “Resident Evil 4″ and made it better. This is without question the frontrunner so far for 2009’s Game of the Year and has earned a #16 spot on my All-Time Video Game List, because seriously does shotgunning someone in the face ever get old?     Â
