Now back up to $49.96. Definite pass.

3 from Polygon. Yeah, not good.

Human Suffering? is that the title of the game, what it causes while playing?

Looks like a hot poop sandwich.

So Polo has it pre-ordered then?

I had some credit on Amazon from dumping a crap load of DVDs I don't watch. So I picked it up for the $37.49 pre-order price. Will try to play some of it this weekend.

Wow.

Another terrible review.

Here's a walkthrough vid. It looks like a Dead Island ripoff, minus the RPG elements. Even the on-screen graphics and the way they highlight objects seems lifted from that game.

That was pretty funny. Or sad. Depending on how you look at it.

I remember GameStop was pretty sure this was going to be an awesome game, too.

This game could have been awesome if they made it an open world like Fallout 3. You just wander around small abandoned towns and find ways to kill the zombies. Once I heard the campaign was only 3 hours long, my interest level bottomed out.

That video MWB posted is hysterical.

My entire office enjoyed that.

If this is any representation of a real zombie apocolypse, I'm fine with it.

I can hardly believe that's real. The part where he's just hopping back and forth over the barricade? Seriously?? So sad...

Rented this in the hopes that it would be one of those "bad but still fun" games. Nope, it's just painful to play in every way. I'm having to force myself to keep pushing on.

Stay far away.

Thanks. I was tempted by the 29.99 price tag, and hoping like you that it was bad but fun. I'm definitely not getting this one.

My local public library actually has this for rent... I might try it if I see it on the shelf.
I do however think that whoever is in charge of purchasing video games for the library should be fired though... They have Walking Dead but skipped gears of war judgement??

Was it worth it?

It's a decent FPS and time killer. I don't hate it like all the reviews. But it's definitely a cash grab because of the series.

"I don't hate it" is probably the highest praise this game has received.

that is pretty bad

Maybe they were going for zombie comedy instead of zombie horror
