The 37 greatest zombie triumphs
@Tyler

First off, not trying to be a dick, these are just my thoughts...

I did read the intro, and I do understand (and respect) having a difference of opinion. What I don't understand is how a chainsaw controller can be part of a "genre’s defining relics" when one of the most well-respected and frequently-referenced zombie authors of our time isn't.

I went to a David Sedaris reading a few years back and he liked Brooks' books so much he brought them with him on tour and sold them at the autograph table, just to spread the word. Sounds pretty "genre defining" to me :)

I gotta join in on the rabble here, because omitting the Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z is unacceptable. Especially considering you included Land of the Dead, which is, quite possibly, the worst Zombie movie ever made (and certainly Romero's worst). Not even Dennis Hopper could save its idiocy.

Very thorough review, thanks! Can't wait for tomorrow (assuming I can pull myself away from Borderlands long enough to click "download"...)

Great point, I hope they take your advice. Luckily for me, I've already played all the games on this list that I'm interested in...

I wonder how they'll kill off C and D Carmine?

This is completely unrelated to this review, but something I've been wondering about for a while now:

Why does the thumbs down portion of the Super Review logo have to be so much bigger than the thumbs up? It stops my heart for a brief moment every time I start to read a Super Review for a game I'm looking forward to and I see that angry fucking thumb!

Tyler, please re-draw the logo and make the thumbs the same size. That's your job, right?

PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe (PSP): PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe
@ WonsAuto

So... We should stop reading the reviews and just hit up Metacritic then? I think that mindset is something sites like GR try to rally against...

The whole point of putting up a review is because it can let us in on the nuances of a game in a much better way than a simple "8" can. Otherwise it's just a score, and something anyone with a numpad can do.

Seriously, that's all we get? GR realy needs to stop reposting magazine reviews, because though they might be perfect for a sidebar in a paper edition, HTML text, last I checked, offers a lot more space for little to no cost, and your readers expect more.

Good thing I already know what the game is about (and am planning on buying it), otherwise I'd be lost.

The Top 7... things ODST does better than Halo 3
As much as I love BSG, I really thought Alan Tudyk and Adam Baldwin added much more to the game than Tricia Helfer. (But then again, I'm a geek, and the melding of Halo and Firefly makes me giddy like a schoolgirl when Zac Efron is on TV.)

QOTW: What game do you always go back to?
MAX (a turn-based strategy game from the late 90s for you non-PC kids out there). Seems like whenever my friends and I get together we jump into a hot seat game and play for hours. And if we aren't doing that, we usually get a LAN game of the original Age of Empires going.

Holy shit we are lame.

Battlefield: Bad Company (Xbox 360): Battlefield: Bad Company
I'm sure this is a dead thread by now but I just bought this game used at Blockbuster for only $20 and wanted to add myself to the "anti-infinite doo" club. I've played this game for five days straight and it is incredibly enjoyable, especially the multiplayer, and would have felt just as good paying full price for it. Great review for a great game. Thanks, GR.

I am very thankful for articles like this. I've perused the Community Games selection in the past and known that there must have been gems hidden in there, but couldn't find any recommendations online. Thanks to you, I'm downloading Weapon of Choice and Artoon as we speak, and I'll probably end up getting Colosseum in the very near future.

Disasters, decisions, and the road
Great piece, Desslock. I re-read The Road just before Fallout 3 was released to better prepare myself for the coming 50+ hours of post-apocalyptic survival, and I was certainly happy that I did. And I'm sure that if McCarthy ever emerged from his own fallout shelter for long enough to stand in line at his local GameStop (maybe Oprah could pick him up a copy?), he'd enjoy reliving his novel as much as we did. Keep up the good work.
