Is it Friday already? Sweet. So there's news that Resident Evil 5 will have two player co-op support, which is an interesting choice especially given the generally solitary nature of the genre. All I know for sure, is that Aaron is happy there will be a cover system. But that probably doesn't impress many, so what you need? A trailer for Beer Pong on the Wii. It's all the fun of beer pong, without the obnoxious alcohol!
