    Great!!!

    To all the naysayers out there who want to complain about RE5, I have one thing to say... play the game for yourself.  I almost didn't buy it because I heard so many mixed things out there, but I was a real fan of RE4, and had been waiting for this game since I first heard about it.  Now that I'm playing it, all I can say is WOW!!!!
    True, you can't pause and move things in your inventory, but if that's a reason why you wouldn't play this game, then you're missing out on one of the most fun experiences on a console so far this year...
    Great enemies, great bosses, great times... and co-op play for fun....
    How can you not love it???????  This is one great game...

To even begin to hope that Resident Evil 5 – the latest installment in the long-running blockbuster franchise – could even begin to live up to the hype surrounding its release is simpl...
