By Paul Adler


There is more out there that goes bump in the night than what's under your bed or in your wardrobe. Nowhere else is that more clear than in Resident Evil 5, the latest version of the favored horror survival game franchise, Resident Evil. You can often gauge a games rise in the ranks when it jumps from one medium to the other. They made a flick or 2 (or three) about this one did they not with huge stars?

As might be imagined, they get felled by living dead so that the Alpha team is sent to save them. And, the story continues through a few Resident Evil games until you reach the latest release.
