March 13th, Another great Game



Another great game comes out on March 13th, 2009. This is said to be the biggest year of gaming yet and so far they ain't lying. 1st we kick off the new year with KILLZONE 2, F.E.A.R. 2, Street Fighter 4, and now we are being bombarded with another one, Resident Evil 5. I haven't been noticing, but I think that game devolopers believe that we are rich. I hope not, because their sales will start to go down releasing a big game right after another big game hits store shelves. I'm a huge gamer and I plan out what games I'm going to buy and how much time and money I'll have to save up to get it, but this is crazy releasing it the week after Killzone 2, something that all the PS3 fanboys will be all over for more than a simple week. Anyway, enough rambling about release dates, let's talk about the actual game itself. Resident Evil 5 is about returning fan favorite Chris Redfield being sent to Africa to investigate what is happening to the villagers. They've become violent, nothing but blank stares and ominous movements. Chris, being partnered up with a new character from the Resident Evil franchise, Sheva Alomar, they get down to the bottom of what horrible things are being done in Africa. If you don't know what Resident Evil is, (you've probably heard the title from a movie that was not very good) it originated as a survivol horror game produced by Capcom originally titled BioHazard. The original games were full of intense, heart pounding moments that will definately scare you and your friends at 3 in the morning with all the lights off. Then, sometime in 2004, Capcom broke off the old tradition of their very famous gameplay for a new way to play the series and came out with Resident Evil 4 which starred Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil 2. This game featured an over the shoulder camera and points on the body that if you shoot, the person would react. Resident Evil 4 was pronounced game of the year for its intense and refreshingly new direction. This time they're bringing that formula back, and now you can play with a partner! Chris and Sheva will have to be smart and work together to fend off the oncoming villagers that seem to be infected like the Las Plagas victims from the Kennedy report. I've played the demo with my friend and we're both very pleased on how well the game plays and how good it looks. This is definately the biggest year in gaming ever, probably after I get Resident Evil 5, I'll be righting another blog about another new game of 2009.
