I didn’t play this at all on Saturday, but last night I went back and decided to earn some money playing the Sniper’s Hand mission I blogged about in a previous post.

(You do realise you can click the labels at the bottom of each post to get all the posts for that label, right? So if you click “resident evil” you’ll get all my posts about Resident Evil games I’ve played since I started using labels on my posts.)

Things didn’t go to plan, though. It turns out that even a single day away from the game made me lose all my skills. I tried several times before I managed to complete the mission again. Which should have been frustrating, but it really wasn’t. Every attempt was great fun, even when – especially when – things went horribly wrong and I found myself surrounded.


And the yelp of satisfaction and relief I let out when I finally completed it was loud enough to be heard three villages over. So if you were in Cranbrook or Headcorn yesterday and you wondered what the noise was, that was me.

I also tried the sixth mission in the story, which is where Ashley comes into the story. Yep, it’s escort mission time! I haven’t completed it quite yet, but I’ve only made a couple of attempts. It’s a lot more compact than previous missions, so I’m going to have to upgrade my shotgun as my rifle is a bit useless up close.
