Oh my, I nearly forgot about yahtzee this week, I was more concerned with Miracleofsound's new song.

OT:I have to agree with Mr. Croshaw on this one. This game was a waste of time and money. All it did was add to the ridiculous surplus of zombie gmaes.

I don't get all the hate for this game. I love it. Smashing heads is just great has an excellent feel

On a separate note L4D2 was better than one what with this silliness that thinks it isn't the same game with so improvements and additions cuz that's what it is

Anyway my biggest problem is the lack of split screen play whats up with this, its a minor easy thing to add and people seem to just be hatin on it c'mon, why do I need another xbox to play this game with my little bro.

So it's not Fallout: Dead Rising as I had initially thought, but rather Dead Rising: Borderlands? This will teach me not to judge prematurely.
The single player is more like Fallout than Borderlands. In fact, the game doesn?t fell much like Bordelands at all. I think that every fps RPG with coop will be "like Bordelands". You know, every fps until 2004 is "like Doom" and every open world game is "like GTA".

Fuck yeah @ wolfman island.
Embalmed zombies, indeed! Now, werewolves would be an interesting change. What other monsters could be used?

... Succubus Island... yep, I'd buy it.

OT: It looked interesting, I think I'll look into a couple user reviews before wiping from my maybe-buy list.

Oh HELL yeah, Yahtzee! If they ever release a Wolfman apocalypse survival action game, I would play the SHIT out of it! At the very least, it'll be an interesting diversion from all of the fahking zombie bullshit!

Hey guys, if you're sick and tired of the zombie over-saturation, next time pick a Democrat for president. Why? I'm so glad you asked!

That way, you can look for more vampires that sparkles in the sun. Yaaaaay. -waves the world's smallest cheer flag un-enthusiastically-

Well, I guess there's no chance of Yahtzee reviewing an Insomniac game, now. Oh well. Resistance 3 just looks like a grittier, crappier (almost literally) version of Ratchet and Clank anyway.

*claps* every single word he said in this was exactly how I felt about this piss stain of a game.

I was really hyped for this but it was just awful, awful combat, awful voice acting, awful visuals (characters just don't look right), awful attempt to get me to care for the characters and....just...just SO GOD DAMN AWFUL.

I really hate this bloody game, Dead Rising 1 is a better open world zombie game and that game is 5 years old for goodness sake.

Dead Island for now is my personal worst game of 2011.
Funny you'd mention that, Dead Island got first shown at E3 2006, so it's been in development for ~at least~ five years, probably closer to six.

The trailer for the game didn't really impress me, and it looked like just another zombie game.

On the other hand, I am one of those no hangover bastards. As far as I know, I can't even get drunk. I drank an entire bottle of wine one night and all I got was buzzed.

I think I laughed a little to hard at "Bread Island"
Yeah, Bread Island....Hell, I'd like to see a game called Bread Island.
"I got a stick of butter, and I know how to use it, *****!!"

...

Okay, that sounded wronger than hell. But if it's the Bread Apocalypse, well okay.

lost interest for this game before it came out. co-op and MP already turned me off. especially since the computer does not take control of the others like L4D did so nicely if you played SP only.
i sure give this game a miss.

One of these days I am going to calculate how many 50s and 10s Yahtzee has saved me.
OH PLEASE! I'm not saying he is a bad reviewer but he tends to stretch the truth or make big things out of very small things, do yourself a favor and don't just go off his word, do a little research and rent it at least so you can make an opinion. You will be much better off.

Funny enough none of the escorts ever attacked anything on my end, they just kinda did what they suppose to do. I.E they just stayed back once the zombies attacked 0_o

So..... I can just play my copy of Left 4 Dead 2 and don't have to play this, brilliant.

*shrug* Eh, agree to disagree, I suppose.

LOW CONTENT? HA! NOT WITH MY MAGICAL BLOCKING SENTENCES!
Its like Borderlands, it adds to much of one thing *quests* then drops the uniquness of the area on its head while laughing at it and calling it a bloody tosser. While then heading downstairs to go troll of 4Chan. Lack of content is presciently shown when you have a sewer level.... Multiple times.
I blame their first trailer, it cost them ALL of their money.

Again, its just like Borderlands problems, it has way to much of one thing, and not enough of another to actually come out on top.

I don't know, I think Yahtzee would like it. No regen health, carry all weapons, designed with Half Life 2 in mind. Personally, I loved it.
