To very little fanfare, and seemingly low-interest from the rest of the video-game loving internet, the first of two mini side-missions for Resident Evil 5, Lost in Nightmares, broke this past week. This is how I spent my Saturday evening, a little under the weather, sick with Bulldykefluenza. And within two hours, I had beaten the mission once on Normal difficulty, and once on Veteran difficulty. This morning, I tackled the game on the subsequent unlocked Professional difficulty, thus resuming my self-proclamation as an elite Resident Evil 0wner.
Overall, it was fresh and new, and no doubt packaged beautifully, but let’s be straight here – it was too damn short. Start to finish in the blink of an eye. But I can’t balk that much; despite the fact that I did have to pay to download it, it reunites me with my beloved Jill Valentine.
