Xbox Live Co-Op Night for April: Resident Evil 5

This month we'll be fending off the infected in Resident Evil 5 for Xbox Live Co-Op Night.  Load your shotguns, ready your sniper rifle and jump online at 8PM Eastern on April 9th.  To join up simply use the game's built in match making tools, there will be plenty of folks looking to play!  You can also send an invite to the gamertag cooptimus and utilize the friends of friends feature to find other co-op gamers.  Perhaps you'll even get an invite from one of our staff!

 

The Co-Op Experience:  Resident Evil 5 features 2 player co-op throughout the game's entire campaign.  Players take on the role of Sheva or Chris as they work their way through 6 chapters of gameplay.  The co-op is drop-in/drop-out in nature so you can join at any time!

Any weapons upgrades you earn in single player carries over to co-op, as well as back to single player.

There's an additional co-op mode called "Mercenaries Mode" where players work together to achieve the highest score possible.  This mode is unlocked by completing the game's campaign mode.

 

Our Review:  We gave it a 4.5 out of 5.  Find out Why.
