VIDEO GAME: Resident Evil 5
reviews
Resident Evil 5 picks up where the last one ended.The gamer is Chris Redfield,a member of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance. He travels to the African desert to investigate a terrorist threat of Umbrella's weapons.Upon arrival Chris meets his new partner, Sheva Alomar and the fun starts there.
Nearly ten years after the release of the original Resident Evil, CAPCOM produces yet another installment, Resident Evil 5. This survival-horror video game involves more strategy on the part of the gamer and brings about the helpful co-op fighting throughout the game.
Chris and Sheva fight together throughout the game and Sheva proves to be somewhat helpful. She is not a useless player that the gamer has to babysit all through the game.She fights pretty well but if she becomes injured or has no ammunition it is the responsibility of the gamer to supply the needed items.Likewise,Sheva provides the same assistance to the gamer.
Resident Evil 5 demands a little more strategy on the part of the participant.The bosses at the end of each level are all different and require various forms of killing.Also,the game provides a rather simple inventory selection.With the use of the directional buttons,one click and
the gamer switches weapons or receives extra ammunition.
The graphic and entertaining Resident Evil 5 has no flaws. The game play is perfect and beckons the question—Resident Evil 6?

MUSIC: Two Suns by Bat for Lashes
When Natasha Khan, also known as Bat for Lashes, opens her mouth to sing, it feels like an otherworldly experience; her high voice, eerie melodies and majestic instrumentations are mystical and beautiful. With her second album, Two Suns, Khan rises above her 2006 release, Fur and Gold, by creating music that is more bold and creative than ever before.
The airy echoes and harmonies on "Moon and Moon" sound like a lullaby of sorts, and the first single, "Daniel," brings synth-pop qualities to the album and is one of several tracks that features a collaboration with Brooklyn-based experimental band Yeasayer.
Throughout the album's entirety, Khan plays with concepts and themes of duality, as well as her alter ego, Pearl—Pearl's golden locks rival Khan's jet-black tresses, and Pearl's nature is more destructive and bold than Khan's spiritual disposition, which can be seen in "Siren Song" when Khan sings, "My name is Pearl ... my blonde curls slice through your heart."
The track "Two Planets" hosts an array of percussive instruments and claps. "The Big Sleep" is a song with a beautiful piano part and more of Khan's mystical tones accompanied by
Scott Walker's deeper ones, which combine in a powerful duet to bring Khan's ambitious and ethereal album to a close.
