Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition is getting a lot of additions that are sure to attract newcomers to the series and have diehard Majini-killers coming back for more. I didn’t see this newest mercenaries player coming at all, what with her less-than-convenient battle apparel and the fact that I killed her with a satellite-laser.
