Resident Evil…FIVE!

by Mike Fauls

To those of you who’ve ever played a Resident Evil game you’ll know why the number FIVE is in all caps in this article and all of my other articles have an appropriate title for the celebration of, you guessed it, Resident Evil FIVE. For those of you who haven’t enjoyed the zombie-goodness of this series of games yet I’m sorry for you. Resident Evil FIVE came out on Thursday, March 12 and I’ve gotta say, it’s pretty awesome. The graphics are spectacular, and co-op is amazing. This game is definitely worth your money even if you’re not familiar to the series. One of the best things about Resident Evil FIVE though is that you can finally strafe. It doesn’t sound like much to you guys out there who’ve never played a Resident Evil game, but honestly this is one of the factors that sold the game to me. It also keeps in touch with a little bit of the whole “survival-horror” factor of the old school games. But just like usual the inventory is a pain and lining up to do a combo move with your buddy is sometimes challenging. But overall this game is awesome and these problems can be easily overlooked. Resident Evil FIVE is definitely worthy of it’s rating: FIVE juicy brains out of FIVE. Good luck and good headshot-hunting to you all.
