Just picked up this game. Heck, just picked up an XBox360. Nice! After being a die hard PlayStation guy for a decade or so, my eyes have seen the light!
Now- this game is insane. As you all know, I love zombies. Can't get enough of em.
This game here, the premise is similar to "Dawn of the Dead", as it takes place in a mall, but you have 72 hours to investigate WHY this zombie plague is happening, and you also have to survive literally THOUSANDS of zombies at every turn.
You can venture into ANY store, and change your clothes, get food, use almost anything as a weapon (like throwing a 12-pack of pop cans at zombies...). My all time favourite weapon so far is the auger. Awesome.
I've only got like, 20 percent of the game done, but I can't get enough of it. I can't wait to see how it ends, and if there's gonna be a sequel.
My ONLY gripes with the game is the sub microscopic font designed for HD televisions (of which, I am bereft), and the friggin phone ringing every three seconds from the superintendant, alerting me to survivors.
I wish there was a "free play", where you could just go apeshit and destroy thousands of zombies, with little recourse.
What're your thoughts on this game? Any tips for a noob?

Rob: What did Laura mean last night when she said, "I haven't slept with him yet." Yet! What does "yet" mean anyway? It means you're gonna do it, doesn't it? Or does it?
[Next scene]
Rob:[To Barry]Just come on. What would it mean to you, that sentence: I haven't seen Evil Dead II yet?
Barry: Well, to me it would mean that you're a liar. You've seen it twice. Once with Laura -oops- and once with me and Dick, remember? We had that conversation about the guy making Beretta shotgun ammo off-screen in the 14th century.
Rob: Right, all right. But let's just say that I hadn't seen it and I said to you, "I haven't seen Evil Dead II yet", what would you think?
Barry: I'd think that you're a cinematic idiot and I'd feel sorry for you.
Rob: All right. But from that one sentence, would you think that I was going to see it?
Barry: I'm sorry, Rob. I'm struggling here. You're asking me what would I think if you told me you hadn't seen a film that you have already seen. What am I supposed to say?
Rob: Just listen to me. If I said to you-
Barry: "I haven't seen Evil Dead II yet", yes.
Rob: Would you get the impression that I really wanted to see it?
Barry: Oh, uh, well you couldn't have been desperate to see it, otherwise you'd have already gone.
Rob: Right, I'm not gonna see that movie.
Barry:[pause] But the word "yet". Yeah, you know what? I'd get the impression that you wanted to see it otherwise you'd have said you didn't wanna go.
Rob: But in your opinion, would I definitely go?
Barry: How the fuck am I supposed to know?! Probably!
Rob: Why?
Barry: Because it's a brilliant film. It's so funny, and violent, and the soundtrack kicks fucking ass. I never thought I'd say this, but can I go work now?
if you havent seen High Fidelity you should. I thought, from your zombie blog content, that you might like this dialogue
