Don’t own the Gold edition of Resident Evil 5? Then no Move for you
It’s a scene out of your worst nightmares: Your grip rests secure on a shiny new PlayStation Move controller, and you’ve dusted off your faithful old copy of Resident Evil 5 to welcome your new piece of hardware to the family. But then, tragedy strikes. You flail your arms like someone engaged in a particularly vicious slap-fight, but Chris Redfield doesn’t budge an inch as he’s torn limb-from-limb.
Why, Chris? Why won’t you move? Have those giant tree-trunk arms of yours finally taken up root? Fortunately, no. Unfortunately, you may need to go grab a new copy of Resident Evil 5.

Valve mistakenly swings banhammer at MW2 players, apologizes by giving away L4D2
Being wrongfully accused sucks. Depending on the situation, you could be looking at years in a state prison, loss of job/money/life, or – worst of all – a permanent ban from the PC version of Modern Warfare 2.
Fortunately, Valve – whose anti-cheat software erroneously tossed good, law-abiding citizens in the slammer – saw the error of its ways, and set things right in the best and most sensible way possible: zombies.
