I was looking for a good co-op game for me and my bf so i was about to buy RE5 ($35) but noticed they released the gold edition for $50, do you think the few add-ons included are worth it? i quickly read that they were so-so but maybe for $15 its a good investment?  Any opinions?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I bought the Gold edition for $45 US but I haven't even played it yet, so I don't know if it is worth it from personal experience. Any examples of other co-op games you play with him? That would help with possible alternative suggestions.

Considering that both DLC packs can be bought for $5 each, you would actually be losing money if you bought Gold Edition. So unless you really want a few extra costumes it's best to just buy vanilla.

Vanilla RE=  $35. DLC = $15
Gold = $50

Vanilla + DLC = Gold (but gold does have nicer packaging.)

So buy Vanilla, and if you decide you like the game, get the DLC. RE5 has somewhat of a high yet lukewarm response, the game isn't for everyone, and the stuff they include after you beat it, professional mode, mercenaries mode, will both last you long after the game has ended... I think the game offers a great co-op experience, one that I was able to enjoy with my low skilled girlfriend as well as with the pros online in mercenaries. But it's not for everyone!! Try first!

thanks guys!
i think i wanted to say co-op instead of multiplayer but yeah annyways, your replies helped me a lot ^^ ill just go buy vanilla, thanks again! ^_^

thanks! i'll check that out ^^

Borderlands would be my top recommendation as well. I highly recommend Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (1st has a better campaign but 2 improves the game a lot) and Left 4 Dead (some may recommend L4D2 over the first, but I haven't played that one). Halo 3 is a good choice, but I find the co-op to have limited replay value after one go. Saints Row 2 is great for some mindless fun but it is not split-screen (you didn't mention if that's what you're looking for). Look forward to Crackdown 2 when it comes out, or just buy the first game if you can find it really cheap.

i definitely go for Borderlands i think, i have Halo 3  but my bf did the co-op campaign with his brother and we lent it to his brother afterward so we can't play right now :P 
 
and yes we're looking for split screen games because if not, we keep arguing because the other one is not doing what we expect him to do  (hello Turtle in time reshell :P)
 
soooooooooo i guess my final choice will be
 
1.Resistance 2 (because we really enjoyed the first one)
2. RE5
3. Borderlands
 
i never played L4D, only saw someone play the first one, and as far as i love killing zombies, i'm not sure if i got something wrong but it didnt seem to have much else to do than killing waves and waves of zombies... but i might be wrong, i didn't inquire much to be honest

i ended buying Heavy Rain, i fail :P
 
i have another question, is Borderlands  playable in co-op splitscreen? i read yes on some boards and no on others i'm confused, because i'm really seeking for a split-screen campaign..... 
god my English feels terrible this morning i apologize -_-;

ok cool thanks a lot! :)
i'm gonna get it next week ^^

Definitely is! I got mine for like $12. Well worth every penny

Why did you feel the need to revive this thread, I doubt he is still considering this purchuse...
