Lost in Nightmares & Desperate Escape


The new DLC (downloadable-content for all those new to videogames) has hit the PSN and XBLA and Resident Evil fans will not be disappointed. There are two scenarios: Lost in Nightmares, where you play Chris and Jill on a pre-RE5 mission, and Desperate Escape, where you play Jill and Josh escaping during RE5. Both take about an hour to finish, but trophies will ensure multiple playthroughs.
The missions are very different: the former is a classic homage to RE1 and 2, while the latter is a 200 enemy streetfight through the factory complex from RE5. Both games are a lot of fun and the development of such extra content would be instructional for any chapter based adventure game (c'mon Naught Dog, where is my Sully mission from Uncharted?). 

Tale Of The Tape
Cost: $5 each.
Length: 5 hours each minimum (multiple playthroughs on different difficulties, plus the new Mercenaries game). 
Is it worth it?: At $1 per hour for entertainment you cannot go wrong. Anyone who already has the game should download these mission now, but anyone else should wait until Tuesday when the Gold Edition of RE5 hits the shelves; all the DLC is already on this disc.
