Conclusion: Resident Evil 5 is a must buy. Its approach to shooting mechanics and enemy is unique if not a little old-school and it simply looks gorgeous.
Conclusion: With its heart-pounding moments, scarce supplies of ammunition, and old-school puzzles, Lost in Nightmares delivers an entirely different experience than Resident Evil 5.
Pros: Degree of randomization adds some replay value, Creepy and intense atmosphere, Classic cameras and controls are a nice hidden bonus.
Conclusion: This is only half the story; the second DLC ships next month. It fills in another ‘gap’ actually during Res Evil 5 where uber evil Jill escapes with the African dude.

Conclusion: Yet none of that stops this game from being awesome in its own right, and if you can look past the awkward and clunky controls, you're going to have a lot of fun.
Pros: Absolutely stunning visuals, Good voice-acting (for a change), Sheva is an added bonus as an AI teammate (for a change), Cut-scenes are directed with uber-style, Bosse...
Cons: Screen tearing everywhere, Invisible walls get annoying, Some may still be put off by the awkward controls, Intrusive HUD and other elements detract from overall immer...
Excerpt: Resident Evil, a name infamous with gamers since 1996 when the original title launched on the PS1. I was 17 way back then (oh how the years fly) and can still remember...
