The Co-Op Experience: Player 1 takes control of the main character while the 2nd player takes control of female mercenary support character. There's full drop-in/drop-out support for a seamless online experience. When another player isn't there, the AI takes the role of the mercenary.
Background: Resident Evil writes a chilling new chapter as the Umbrella Corporation's bioweapons have fallen into the hands of rogue leaders. Play as Chris Redfield in a remote desert colony overrun by a new breed of evil. With hordes of flesh-eating beings ready to make you their next snack, escape may be the best way to survive. Environments play an increased role, with horrors possibly lurking in every alcove or behind every shadow. New lighting effects will make you wonder - was that movement, or just an illusion? Good thing you're not alone. A new focus on co-op play teams you with a zombie-destroying sidekick Sheva, who changes the way RE is played.

Resident Evil 5 Co-Op Review

It's time to separate the men from the boys, the woman from the girls. It's time to team up and head into Resident Evil 5 - the first totally cooperative survival horror game to hit next-gen consoles. We've got the full review.(Read More)

Probably just a typo. I had to email the staff about a typo on the Borderlands page.
Why does it say "Split Screen: No" in the info box, but in the description it talks about "plugging in a controller" to get split screen?

A good coop experience overall for the PC. The controls can be clunky and the camera annoying for anyone used to playing with a keyboard and mouse, but the coop-centric campaign trumps it all.
Requires a definite time investment due to all of the cut-scenes and lengthy action sequences - don't sit down expecting a 15 minute game!
