In just five agonizingly long days Resident Evil 5 will at last be unleashed upon the suspecting public and inevitably deemed the undisputed Game of the Year, despite still being only March (my money’s on SimAnimals). To celebrate Capcom’s genre-defining franchise and make the wait a little less painful, GEN has a week-long extravaganza of Resident Evil goodness including retro reviews and some seriously awesome original features you won’t find anywhere else. You know I normally hate everything, including other people, rainbows and especially the laughter of children, so when I say “some seriously awesome features”, I mean it. Look no further than the Resident Evil Casting Couch if you don’t believe me, and let that be a hint at things to come during the rest of the week.
As an added bonus, by simply leaving a comment on any of the posts listed below, you are automatically entered into a random drawing to win a brand new copy of the Resident Evil 5 Collector’s Edition for the console of your choice. They only made like a few million of these things, so now is your chance to own an ultra rare piece of video game history! The winner will be notified on Monday via the email associated with their user profile.
So check out the reviews and features while you wait for the last–and most important–Friday the 13th (until 2012), and leave some comment love each day to ensure your chances at winning one of the most anticipated games of the entire month! I mean… of the entire century!!!
Update: Congratulations to Amanda P. from San Diego.

Looking forward to playing another Resident Evil after so long! Course in typical fashion I have to go out of town immediately after this comes out. Grrr.
Hey- that “grr” was just me sounding frustrated… not turning into a zombie! Put that shotgun down!
