If you are familiar with Dead Rising, then you'll definitely love this new installment of the game. For those who are new to this, Dead Rising is a zombie killing game much like the popular 'Left 4 Dead' series but with much more arsenal and creativity. Dead Rising 2 brings more weapons, skills and vehicles to slaughter wave after wave of zombies. I'm not much for words at the moment so i made this short pro's and con's list for a quick read.
Pros- Hundreds if not thousands of weapons, from scissors to a lawn mower as your arsenal
- Different weapon combination means more ways to kill zombies
- All weapons have a certain amount of durability adding strategy, not just hack and slash
- Difficulty increases as you progress through the game, making it less boring
- Costumes
- You can enjoy the zombie mayhem with your friends
- You'll never run out of zombies to kill!
Cons- PC versions seems to be unfurnished, controls are too packed, not taking full advantage of the keyboard, to make things worst, you can't edit the controls
- ALL missions are timed, which means you cant take a break and just kill zombies while your in story mode
- Vehicles (which costs a lot in game) are limited to the area you bought them
- Missions do not state if your going to fight a mini boss or save a survivor, therefore you have to save every now and then just to make sure.

Resident Evil 5 was supposed to be a horror survival game like it's predecessors, but after playing it, it seemed to lose it's "horror" sense and became more on a third person shooting game. But don't get me wrong, the game itself is a lot of fun. The story takes place in Africa where the two protagonists of the game is on a mission to stop a terrorist plot to infect the world with a new biological weapon. You play Chris Redfield, and later in the game, you get to unlock his sidekick, Sheva Alomar to be playable. Like the other Resident Evil games, you get to unlock different "stuff" depending on how you play the game, which really boosts RE5's lifespan.
Gameplay wise, RE5's AI is well balanced on which difficulty you choose, but even in veteran difficulty sometimes your not-so-mindless enemies make pretty damn good easy mindless targets. Aside from your occasional free kill zombie, the game offers a handful of boss and mini-boss to always keep you on your toes. Don't think RE5 doesn't have any goodies for you aside from hordes of semi-zombie enemies, no no no. Re5 also features a very wide range of arsenal at your disposal, ranging from your basic CQC knife to your RPG that will leave you in awe as you see debris of flying bodies after firing it. Almost all the weapons in your disposal are upgradable and has it's own unique feature from other weapons.

All in all RE5 is a great game to play and I advise you not to miss it out specially if your a Resident Evil fan like me. The best thing about this is you can play with a friend to heighten the experience as well as the entertainment. Although some may not like the stand-still-while-shooting gameplay of RE it is still a must try if your new to this genre.
