Resident Evil 5: The game that just keeps on giving (somewhat dubious press)
I can't remember the last time a major video game release was able to stir up so much trouble in the real world. The game has barely made it onto the shelves and already it's brought a botched viral marketing scheme that left an assortment of severed body parts missing throughout London (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/12/capcom-publicity-stunt-loses-realistic-fake-limbs-in-london/) and even drawn out the venerable Wall Street Journal to explore the allegations of racist themes in the game-- and indeed even within Games with a capital G (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123672060500987853.html)! Yeesh!
But if you could give a hoot about the mediastorm around the game and would rather focus on-- you know-- PLAYING it, it's out, it looks great, and it appears to be a real blast. The guides on Mahalo's very fine Video Games team have done a real bang-up job digging up the most important stuff you'll need as you dig into Resident Evil 5:
1) Video Walkthroughs in spectacular HD! (http://www.mahalo.com/Resident_Evil_5_Walkthrough)
2) Locations of all the BSAA Emblems for you slavering completionists (http://www.mahalo.com/Resident_Evil_5_BSAA_Emblems)
3) Info on all of the unlockable content, including costumes (http://www.mahalo.com/Resident_Evil_5_Unlockable_Costumes) if you feel like jumping into the Great RE 5 Racism Debate yourself, and the playable characters you can unlock as well (http://www.mahalo.com/Resident_Evil_5_Unlockable_Characters). Jill was always my favorite <3 <3
P.S. Video Games isn't the only fun-loving team in the Mahalo corral! How Tos are equal parts zany wackiness and didactic servitude! Look at our page on How to Survive a Zombie Attack (http://www.mahalo.com/How_to_Survive_a_Zombie_Attack)!
