PS3 Resident Evil Controller Faceplate and Skinz - Characters Review

It's pretty tricky to put on without getting air bubbles trapped in. I was lucky to have a small squeegee in the house as that helped a lot. One problem with the skin though is the fact that it's folded in the packaging it comes in so there's a big wrinkle in the middle of the big skin pieces, although it does kind of pull off a nice pattern and style but if you want it smooth then it will put a damper on that plan. As for the controller plate, it's pretty neat but makes it harder to press the buttons, especially if you need to press two at the same time.

Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5 Review

My wife and I bought this game several months ago and we have played it almost every night since. It is that fun and addicting! You can tell this game was designed for co-op play with 2 players. Although you can certainly play it in single player mode with no problem--the computer will simply play the second character for you. This was our first "shooter" game and it took two evenings of playing to get used to the controls to the point where we could aim and fire the weapons fairly well. If you're not an experienced gamer you'll probably be frustrated by continuously dying the first couple hours you play until you get the hang of how to use your weapons. Persist past this initial difficulty and you will love this game. It has 4 difficulty levels, so as your skill increases you can put it on harder levels and still have a fun challenge. Basically, your first time through the game will probably take you several days as you take on a chapter or two per day. The computer saves your progress as you beat each chapter. This way you can either go back and play any chapter you've already beaten or else continue the story and go on to the next one. The game has lots of "unlockable" content as well as "downloadable" content if your game console is hooked into the internet: additional costumes for the characters, mini-games within the main game, etc. Once you complete the entire game once, you unlock a mini-game called "The Mercenaries" which is a short (from 2 - 7 minutes)and very intense game where you are in a confined area swarming with zombies. Your goal is to not get killed while killing as many of them as possible before time is up. This, again, can be played either single player or co-op with a partner. It's fun but also difficult and frantic. Also, once you beat the game once you can play through again in single player mode as either of the two characters, whereas before that you can only play as Chris, the male character. The game has lots of weapons (handguns, shotguns, rifles, machine guns and others . . .) that are found as you play through the game. One of the addicting things is trying to collect enough money (in the game you find gems and sacks of gold) which you trade in to upgrade weapons. Fully upgraded weapons can have unlimited ammunition. Replaying your favorite chapters with infinite ammo on your favorite weapons is a lot of fun. After you've played through the main game and gotten tired of it you can play the Mercenaries game mentioned earlier or even download mini-games from the internet for a small fee. There is a downloadable game called "Desperate Escape" which is just like the main RE5 game but with two different characters and it is great fun. Well worth the cost. The only negative I can think of is that since the game is violent and somewhat graphic, you can't play it when younger kids are around. We wait until our daughter is asleep before playing!

Resident Evil 5 Specifications

Experience the thrill and terror all over again with Resident Evil 5 for PS3. Featuring Chris Redfield of the original Resident Evil and Sheva Alomar, a West African agent of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), this sci-fi survival game is staged in a remote desert colony packed with hordes of fast-moving, quick-thinking enemies that represent a whole new breed of evil.

You'll face faster enemies backed by improved AI. View larger.

Meet Two Fierce, Playable Main Characters
Back from the original title and Resident Evil: Code Veronica, former S.T.A.R.S. special forces team member Redfield is a battle-tested, founding member of the BSAA. With a reputation for superior marksmanship and phenomenal hand-to-hand combat abilities, he's on the ground and up against a new strain of evil.

You'll call his shots from the same over-the-shoulder third person viewpoint that distinguished Resident Evil 4, except this time you'll also have the option of playing as his teammate, the fierce, local Alomar. Whoever you play as, updates to the earlier version's third-person control scheme offer more options and promise intuitive interactions.

Learn to Work Together
The new cooperative game play element focuses on the realities of a dual-agent mission, highlighting the ways in which Redfield and Alomar must work together to survive the unexpected, while still allowing them to split up and work alone. To help you maximize the potential of this setup, two-player online and offline co-op modes ensure that you have options when picking a partner.

Steel yourself Against the Harsh Reality of Kijuju
An advanced version of Capcom's proprietary MT Framework game engine brings groundbreaking graphics and effects to Kijuju, the highly-developed environment where this game's action takes place. New, lifelike lighting schemes highlight the differences between harsh sunlight and extreme darkness, and when you move from one to the other, you'll have to wait for your character's eyes to adjust before you can see clearly, adding to the suspense and challenge of navigating this game's environs.

Face the Next Generation of Evil
You'll face new enemies with faster reflexes and improved AI, designed to be as dangerous alone as they are in groups and to keep even Resident Evil masters on their toes. Thankfully, they're not the only ones who have evolved. This game also offers access to powerful new weapons variations that extend your destructive capabilities.

And the updated, quick-select inventory system allows for real-time inventory management, as well as allowing characters to trade items and allowing you to place an item on the directional pad for instant access. Add all this to a detailed storyline the touches on what the past ten years have meant for Redfield and a Hollywood-caliber soundtrack, and it's clear that the latest installment in this series really does showcase all the elements at the heart of horror gaming.

Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition

Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition Review

First off, the gold is nice looking I guess, but I wish it was the same cover as the Japanese version and shipped as the original game in the first place.

The cover is better in full cover, and it's kind of BS to re-release the game with the much superior DLC and then essential "Mercenaries Mode" and ask people to buy it again. As its own game the so-called "gold Box" is a nice little package with a lot of content you'd EXPECT from an RE game (some of which was absent initially and made into DLC) and a worthy purchase for RE fans.

I digress; I picked up this game for cheap when Game Crazy Liquidated (R.I.P.) and was hesitant... My initial experience with RE5 wasn't the best. I rented it ( i say rented but what I really did was buy it used from Gamestop and then return it within 7 days cause you know, screw them) and my friend did the same.
I'm a long time RE fan with fond memories of RE1 on the PS1, he owed a N64 back then.

The game was fun for a little while with a friend, because you can coordinate attacks, etc: "you stand here I'll shoot the barrel". But he lost interest half way through because the story this time around isn't as good as in the past... and left with only an AI driven Shiva, I just called it quits.

There's no coordinating with AI Shiva, and, she's dumb and a poor shot. At times I withheld ammo from her on purpose. To make matters worse the whole "ownership of items" issue in RE5 due to potential to play with a real person is abysmal. When my friend left he took all "his" weapons" and all I had for Shiva was sniper-rifle, which she proceeded to shoot at enemies 3 feet away?

As dumb as Shiva is, I guess as a means of realism, Chris is even DUMBER! I guess all those roids took their toll (though he was never a brain-trust) but man is it irritating to play with a comp, and playing with a random person feels weird, and doesn't work well in terms of them "jumping in" (they have to wait for a checkpoint, or I can restart, hooray)

So as I said, I never finished the game, and then I got this one, but the save files used to be locked, so all my progress? Lost. They released a patch but my PS3 got YLOD before that so when I backed-up my hard-drive, those files were omitted, thanks Capcom!

The save file thing and the aforementioned weapon ownership silliness is representative of an irritating attitude Dev's have about their games this gen... Why lock save files? And who cares it an advanced player can share endgame guns with someone else (which they can't in RE5) I mean it's our foretime we choose to spend playing your game, what is the harm, remember back when games had cheat codes? It's supposed to be recreation not an Olympic event, jeez! This is the drawback to "trophies" but these people are taking those a little too seriously if you ask me.

Once again I digress, I got this to play the DLC, so I had to rebeat the main game, and with the right motivation it was somewhat enjoyable, especially when I got to the new stuff. But no puzzles or really anything other than shooting zombies faces off was a disappointment for the main game but it did that well I suppose, You won't hear any complaints out of me about the controls, they work for the game, end of story, you want gears of war or uncharted? Go play them instead.


The DLC which I finally unlocked... great stuff! Puzzles, like more than one, and Jill is back (although a little fuglier than her RE3 role) and most importantly the game is fun to play on your own in the DLC where the main game is clearly only meant for two actual people, who know each other by their real names. The competitive mode is a lark for a bit. It would have been nice if they also included the 2 dollar theme off PSN as part of the Gold Box.

The Mercenaries mode is of course great just as it was in RE4. I would give the 2 DLC packs a 4-5 for game play and I consider all the other stuff (which hI reiterated was NOT IN THE ORIGINAL
The DLC is like 3 hours total if you don't rush, but then again so was RE1 back in the day. And its not as if the Main game doesn't have its moments. It does, it just has, other moments.

Overall, if you're a RE fan and you don't already own this game this is a good purchase even at $ 46. If you haven't played the main game yet you might genuinely enjoy your first time through, and if you have a friend who is also interested, then you win! The DLC is great, both of `em, the mansion is still a great setting. Mercenaries is back in this edition, why it was absent in the original is beyond me.
If you owe RE5 still,... that sucks, but sell it I guess and get this. You could buy the stuff of the PSN but I personally hate not having the content on a disc and in this version (unlike the 360 version, FYI) this all there. Having two PS3's ignite with the YLOD makes you appreciative of what you can physically own.

If you just want at shoot `em up which you can play with a friend there are many, many better options. But this time around this is a worthy Resident Evil for fans of the series!

Resident Evil Cloth Wall Scroll - Sheva

Resident Evil Cloth Wall Scroll - Sheva Review

There are several "cloth" wallscrolls available for a myriad of games, and since I am a fan of RE5, I decided to purchase one of these. This Chris Redfield wallscroll is made of a printed vinyl substance on a thin clothlike backing. The print unfurls without any noticeable creases or indentations, and seems fairly durable. The two hooks for hanging the print can be slid along the entire top bar to accommodate any hanging situation. The colors are vibrant and look like they won't fade.

The only negative to the product, and the reason it loses one star is that it really smells out of the package. I mean it smells toxic, and I had to lay it out across my car's hood in the garage to air it out. Everything is fine now, but make sure to air it out before hanging it.

The bottom line is that you get a high-quality print for the price of a poster, but you get the added bonus of being able to hang it anywhwere you want and move it, and it won't rip or tear.
