Resident Evil 5 is a survival horror third-person shooter (admittedly a little light on the horror aspect) developed and published by Capcom and released in 2009. You play as B.S.A.A agents Chris Redfield (returning from Resident Evil 1) and Sheva Alomar who are trying to find information about a bio-organic weapon. Their search leads them to Albert Wesker and a brainwashed Jill Valentine (also returning from RE1, amongst others). Wesker has a plan to infect the entire world with the bio-organic weapon and it is up to you to save the world (a cliched premise I'll admit).
The gameplay is solid. The controls are relatively simple and there is a lot to discover in the game (mostly all the treasures, but also the weapons to a lesser extent). The ability to upgrade all the weapons make the game interesting (although much less challenging on multiple playthroughs). The difficulty is pretty irrelevant until you get to professional mode which is exponentially more difficult, especially with the intelligence of the AI, which can border on retarded. RE5 also offers tons of different modes which includes Mercenary mode and the DLC which includes Lost in Nightmares, A Desperate Escape, Versus and Mercenaries Reunion.
All in all a fun game (I spent enough time to platinum the game) and it is a good game to play if you need some time to kill. It may be a bit weak when compared with the rest of the series (especially RE4) but nonetheless is a credit to the series.
