The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A fast-paced co-op shooter with tense, gory action and quick-time event sequences set in an atmospheric African setting.

What players say

Players are split on Resident Evil 5: some love it as a co-op action romp with friends, others call the level design and boss fights tedious. The controls feel dated, professional mode is brutally punishing, and Wesker is a standout. Single-player gets much less praise than co-op, and the game can cause motion sickness.
