Posted in Games by Conner Flynn on May 4th, 2009

Resident Evil 5 for the PC will be 3DLike so many things, the 3D phenomenon hits in 30 year cycles. It was big in the 1950s, had a brief and crappy resurgence in the 1980s and thirty years later here it is again. It’s not just movies. It’s our games as well.

Thanks to NVIDIA and Resident Evil 5, we may actually have something 3D to genuinely look forward to. It has been confirmed that when Resident Evil 5 hits PCs this July it will feature support for NVIDIA’s GeForce 3D Vision Technology.

Zombies take over Best Buy for Resident Evil 5 LaunchMidnight releases of video games are getting old. So Best Buy is looking to do something a bit different when it comes to launching Resident Evil 5. They will be treating it more like a Hollywood premiere event and we may see more of this in the future. How does a store full of zombies and a chainsaw-wielding Dr. Salvador sound?

It will all happen on March 13, at the Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania Best Buy, where they will convert part of their store into a haunted house. Employees will become zombies, their bank of televisions all set to eerie no-signal snow. There will even be even be at least one dude in a potato-sack mask with a chainsaw.
