Resident Evil 5

Just finished Resident Evil on normal mode. I haven't previously played any RE games but this game is as good a start as any. It is a great game with spectacular cut scenes and a good mix of environments and in-game action modes. The game itself is not that difficult, but in the latter parts it would really help to read a guide after failing several times. RE5 has co-op play, is trophy-supported, and also has online play. A new DLC, Versus Mode, increases the game's replayability.
4.5 stars.
