Dead Rising

Who doesn't love killing zombies? If you raised your hand, chances are, you're a zombie and you're being killed next.

You are Frank West, photo journalist. You're trying to get the scoop of the decade and you hear something funny is happening in the small community of Willamette, CO. On your way in by helicopter, you've noticed that all roads leading into town have been blocked by the National Guard (or some other military entity). While you fly over town, you notice strange things going on. Strange things are definitely afoot at the Circle K, so you decide to touch down at the local mall.

You give your ride 72 hours to come back so that you may investigate what's going on. Once inside, you find out what's going on: the town is overrun by zombies! At first, the mall is safe, then someone decides to let them in, and that's when the fun begins. You now have to survive for three days while you wait for your ride to get back.

To aid in your survival, anything you can pick up in the mall, you use as a weapon. Yes, ANYTHING. Mall bench, trash can, CDs, guitars, katanas, knives, night sticks, 2x4s, lead pipes, ANYTHING. Those are just a few things you can pick up. The only downfall is that each weapon can break, so you can only injure so many zombies with each weapon till you have to find a new one.

One of the other great things about this game is that it's completely open ended. You don't have to follow the story line if you don't want to. You only have to do it if you want to know why this happened. I plan on going back through to find out, but first, I want to kill as many zombies as I can, because like I asked earlier, who doesn't love killing zombies?

This game is easily one of my favorite games. I highly recommend it, especially if running around killing things in some of the most unbelievable ways interests you. It's a greatest hit, so it's cheap and not very hard to find, so yes, pick this game up!

Too Human Demo

What do you get when you cross Vikings with Legacy of Kain? If you said it doesn't matter, it has Vikings, you're pretty freaking cool. But if you said Too Human, you're probably right too.

If you're a fan of Stargate SG-1, this game seems to be the past of the Asgard. You're Balder, some super soldier type guy fighting these weird mechanical monster things. Apparently, you're some god. This is kind of evident when you die. A Valkyrie stops by, molests you a bit, then sends you off on your killing spree.

From what little I've played of the game, that about sums up the game. Run around, kill things. Rinse, repeat. There are some RPG elements, but I didn't let those get in the way of me killing things.

I was kind of liking the game, so I might actually have to get a hold of a copy of this and give it a try.

Braid Demo

This game is Prince of Persia if it went back to it's roots of 2D side scroller with pits to try and jump across. Oh yea, keep the kick ass time reversal stuffs. I enjoyed what little I played of the game. I might buy the full version just to give this review space some justice on this game.

I also got a kick out of the Dinosaur (that looks strangly like the one from Toy Story) told me that the Princess is in another castle. I would have lost it, but my brother is trying to sleep in the other room.

The Force Unleashed Demo

Wow. This is a demo that I can just keep playing over and over again. It's only a small board, can be beat in about five minutes, but throwing storm troopers NEVER gets old. Sept 16th, I will be getting this game. I have a feeling I might get it for both for 360 and Wii. The 360 game is too good to not get. The demo was just freaking Amazing.

Demos Galore

Recently, I downloaded some demos on XBox Live. This was evident with Civ Rev, Facebreaker, and the horrible Thrillville. I have some more lined up for your enjoyment, and it was totally for my enjoyment. I just hope I never get crap like Thrillville again.
