Resident Evil 5 PC released!

After about only half a year, Resident Evil 5 is about to be released for those hardcore PC players. The game has been released in the US today, and in Europe the game is sceduled for release on the 18th of this month; that’s only three days away!

The guys over at IGN released a review of Resident Evil 5 PC and gave it a 9.3 out of 10. I suppose that means even on the PC it’s still packing a powerful punch. In the end of the review, the conclusion was made:

It may not be a radically new Resident Evil 5, but the PC version of the game still manages to hold its own with an improved control scheme and extra Mercenaries mode. While the addition of costumes is somewhat minor, and you may require a few upgrades to your computer to take full advantage of what the game has to offer, you’re exploring a great story and excellent gameplay. Plus, the inclusion of 3D is a harbinger of what gaming will probably become, and the effect is extremely nice if you have the opportunity to take advantage of it. Umbrella’s virus hasn’t completely evolved, but it’s definitely worth isolating yourself with a copy of RE5 for a while.

I personally can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. I’ve been waiting since March 13th to get this game; I guess that’s what I get for going Nintendo.
