In September it’s finally time for the PC version of the game and it looks like Capcom won’t repeat the embarassment that was the PC port of Resident Evil 4 (/puke). The PC version of the game comes packed with higher resolution textures, improved graphics effects, enhanced and improved controller options (hotkeys, hotkeys, hotkeys!!!!) and support for Nvidia 3D Vision goggles (if you’ve got a monitor that supports 120Hz refresh rate…).

Beating Resident Evil 5 grants the player access to the infinitely enjoyable Mercenaries Mode in which you fight against both the clock and a horde of zombies.Capcom decided to expand on that experience with the new Versus Mode DLC pack. You get two new multiplayer modes: Slayers, and Survivors, each of which can be played either on teams, or free for all.

Resident Evil 5 is a fantastic game. That being said, the game is not without it problem and ultimately feels like it needs to be viewed through rose-colored glasses in the wake of it’s genre defining predecessor (ie Resident Evil 4). RE5 puts you back in control of series veteran Chris Redfield taking part in another ill-fated mission which, in the grand tradition of Resident Evil games, predictably goes to shit as soon as possible. Setting the game in Africa has been a major point of controversy surrounding the release of the game with the supposed racist and stereotypical imagery that it perpetuates, however Capcom ensures a veritable mixing pot of races to dispose of throughout the game, and ultimately a zombie is a zombie, nothing more.

We’re a little late this week, but luckily not pregnant with a baby podcast. Mike, Eric and Jenni fight off a zombie infestation while determining the best strategies against aliens and avoid random battles. (Actually they just talk about Resident Evil 5, Halo Wars and Persona 4 a.) For an added bonus, listen to the cast stumble awkwardly over issues of racism in Resident Evil 5.

With the recent announcement that Resident Evil 5 will no longer include the typewriter save points I was a little surprised to realize that I cared.  Seriously, it’s a save point.  What possible impact could that have on the game…
