In case you missed my linking to it on twitter late last week, here's another link to the full 1600-odd words I had to say in review of Resident Evil 5. I have a lovely relationship with the people at GamingSA and I hope they keep sending me games to review occasionally.
I was pretty critical of the game overall, but I was otherwise quite happy with how the review came together. It starts like this,Here’s a quick test to decide whether or not you will find Resident Evil 5 (RE5) enjoyable – what reaction do you have to the following image: “Chris Redfield punching a car sized boulder into boiling lava”. Do you find the image a) awesome and exciting, b) silly and clichéd, c) brain-offendingly stupid? Depending on your choice, you will have a radically different experience with RE5. That image is representative of the kind of Guano crazy logic this game uses to tell a story with more twists, turns and convolutions than 6 volumes of The Law Society Journal. At the end of this review, I’ll reveal which option I picked. See if you can guess by the end.
And carries on like that for a good few paragraphs. I'm really not going to miss playing this game now that I've completed my review.

I *do* have readers that don't follow me on twitter you know! =P
Chris punching boulders = awesome
A finale on top of a volcano = awesome
Everything Wesker does = awesome
My experience with RE5 = quite a lot of fun indeed.
Hah! Well, you heard it here first folks. Some people can and do enjoy RE5.
