The MTV Multiplayer Blog has an amazing list of little-known RE5 secrets, easter eggs, and protips from developer Kawata-san.  It's really a lot of fun stuff, so even if you've somehow managed to beat the game already, there's plenty of stuff to keep you busy and try out, from boss tricks, to sneakiness, to hidden items. 

Check it out!

Takeuchi-san and his magical pen will be on hand at the Redmond Town Center Gamestop (that's in Redmond Washington) from 2:30-4 TODAY!

Judging by the signing line from last night's RE5 party in San Francisco, I'd suggest getting there by... now!  now now now!  Stop reading immediately and get thee there.

"Versus Mode" is bringing a whole new flavor of Resident Evil to RE5 via DLC.

It's got two gametypes--"Slayer's Rule" (and Majini drool?), and "Survivor's Rule." "Slayer's Rule" is a shooting gallery of Majini killification, where the most ruthlessly efficient killing machine racks up the top score to win.  "Survivor's Rule" involves the phsyical challenge of not getting capped by another live human.  You can play one-on-one or two-vs-two, using a variety of characters from the game.

Versus mode will be available a few weeks after tomorrow's launch for 400 MS Points on XBL, and $4.99 for PSN.  That means just as you've had a chance toget your fill of RE5 co-op with friends, Versus arrives to remind you what friends are really for:  shooting at.

Where:  Union Square, San Francisco. 

When:  Thursday, March 12th, 8pm-12 midnight. 

What:  RE5 launchification.  Play the game early, score prizes and giveaways (see below), and meet every RE5-related celebrity that you can imagine.

RE5 celebs include the dev team (featuring of course producer Jun Takeuchi and Kawata-san), as well as the motion-capture and voice actors who played Chris, Sheva, and Josh (they are all super-rad also). They'll be on hand not just to hang out, but also to sign all your RE5-related stuffs and become your bff.

What stuffs might you have?  Well of course you've got the chance to buy the game early from the Powell Street GameStop, but we'll also be handing out a sweet RE5 poster, and you'll have a chance to win limited RE5 laser-cells, a one of a very limited edition RE5 B.S.A.A. "Redfield" jersey (only 150 ever made).

In short, it's gonna be nuts.  Cats living with dogs... mass hysteria! If you are going to join us, I strongly advise you to show up EARLY.  See you all there! 

Our beloved Resident Evil is headed into the 2009 Guiness Book of World Records Gamer's Edition. 

The records are both related to movies, because the Guiness Book doesn't yet have a "outstanding achievement in the field of awesomeness" category.
