A few weeks back I started playing RE5 in offline co-op with a mate. Although it was enjoyable, he had played all the previous Resident Evil games, whereas I had no clue what was going on in the overall story, who Jill was etc. So I had a little search on the internet, and couldn't find any good sites that summed up games concisely. It was either a choice of sentences such as 'There is a virus, you kill lots of zombies' or three page essays on each minor character. Does anyone know anywhere that gives an good overview of the story of a game in a few paragraphs, because I'd also want to do it before playing things like Assassin's Creed 2, as I can't remember much of the story of the first either. Cheers, Alexi
Don't know about Resi, but I can help with the Assassin's Creed summary. CVG explain the ending of Assassin's Creed Obviously contains spoilers - it explains a fair bit of the present day stuff, but ignores most of the individual assassinations since they were more of a means to an end. It does explain about all the stuff you see in the facility after completing the game, which tends to leave most people a bit confused.

Yeah, that was useful as I don't see how anyone could grasp all that information just by playing through the game, and it's refreshed my memory ready to start the sequel. I just thought they're maybe a site dedicated to this kind of thing that I'd missed, as even with such a hugely successful game such as Gears of War, I got the second game before the original but couldn't find an accurate yet concise summary of the first story without reading through whole step by step game walkthroughs.
Believe me I tried whilst we were playing, but as we'd be through a few cans, I just got jumbled up responses about umbrellas, surgeons and everyone in the game was out to get you. The latter of which, turned out to be quite true
That way you know the ins and outs of the game too, these sites that just tell you the story are crap. They don't prepare you for p-laying the next game in the series

I don't mean that I want to be prepared in terms of actual gameplay, just a vague background knowledge of the back story running up to the game that I'm going to play, so I know who the main characters are etc. because with a story mode driven game, I always enjoy it more if I feel an immersion in the narrative Walkthroughs are good if you playing the game, but for the example of the Resident Evil series, I'm looking for a brief summary of the first four games and the stories of the games, not a detailed 'go through the door on your left and there will be some handgun ammo' style walkthrough guide
