Hey Gang! Resident Evil 5 for both PS3 and XBox 360 is among us! Tomorrow March 13th it can be yours! This next installment in the Resident Evil franchise looks pretty incredible. It is definitely the best looking one so far. I grew up on Resident Evil when it came out on Playstation 1. Nothing will ever compare to that first experience of going through that game. I’ll never forget that line that is so dryly delivered, “It’s Blood. I hope it’s not Chris’ blood.” But I have enjoyed all the games that have come after and I am sure I will enjoy this one as well. It looks like its a great game!

Game Review
This is by far the best in the Resident Evil series. The cut scenes are amazing and rich in detail, and complement the game perfectly. It’s one of those games that just when you think it is all over – it just keeps going. It’s not perfect – but close to it. The over the shoulder mode works better than I thought it would. Annoyances: You cannot aim and run at the same time (still) you cannot move while re-loading which can be a real bitch. Most of the time you can avoid the bad guys by simply running past them. When switching to the inventory the game keeps rolling – you need to plan your weapons placement well (there are only 9 slots available for everything). Picking up ammo takes up a slot if you have loads of weapons and explosives – there is no room for ammo. Overall I give this 8 out of 10
I really want to get a copy of this game and play it, but I am still playing some other games before I go out and spend the money. It looks fantastic though! Thanks for the input!
Lets hope Capcom doesn't screw up DMC like they did Resident Evil. Makes me sick anyone could consider these third person games "Resident Evil" in the first place.
