Still haven't decided whether you'll purchase Resident Evil 5? Here is Kotaku's preview on the first three chapters of the game.

Go to the source for the full preview.

Resident Evil 5 is, more than anything else, an evolution of a franchise once rooted in the survival horror genre. Spoken or not, it is a promise to gamers that Capcom can push their latest Resident Evil into the realm of action without losing the scares, the terrors that make the franchise so evocative. It is their stab at making daylight scary.

It was a brief play-through of the game, but what I saw has won me over. I went into the experience thinking that the shift from survival horror closer to action would result in a Resident Evil awkwardly stuck between two genres. Instead what I'm finding is a game that evolves the nature of fear in gaming and reminds us that there is something far more frightening than a room full of cheap scares.
