What’s better than playing the newest installment in Capcom’s Resident Evil series in co-op? Playing said game projected onto the side of a famous Las Vegas resort, over six stories tall. Thus begins the Capcom Resident Evil 5 party at the Planet Hollywood Hotel, a wondrous bash which featured endless amounts of gourmet treats, adult beverages, and zombies (err… rather, “the infected”).
It was freaking cold though, even with the complimentary blankets and heat lamps. Fortunately, shortly after the bout with RE5 on in the pool area, we were led to a private reception at the top of the casino with a fantastic view of the gaming floor (and a huge ESPN television screen!). Lots of games were present for play as well. All of this and more can be found in our video footage of the event, available for download right here, free!

Capcom literally took over the entire hotel with their RE5 stuff, by the way. Even the card tables had been outfitted with RE5–it was nuts. Seems like there’s a reason they’re proud of it, though; the game looks awesome.
