Yahtzee, of Zero Punctuation fame, is never wrong. In his crosshairs this week is Resident Evil 5, a delightful romp through T-Virus-ravaged (or whatever virus it is this time) Africa. You have a partner, a woman named Sheva (not to be confused with Andriy Shevchenko), who’s totally useless.

And then there’s the inventory system! Why, God, does an egg take up the same amount of space as a rifle? Why does the body armor you’re currently wearing take up any space at all? You’re wearing it!

So many little things wrong with this game, and I’m only at the part right after you ride in the back of a truck and shoot zombies. Resident Evil 4 cannot be topped.
