@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...

SPOILER

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

I'm excited for part two, when we'll no doubt witness the birth of the plastic guitar strum.

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?

@ 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.

Hmm. I thought picture B was prettier...
2 months 2 days ago on 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.)

I'd really like to know if the MP adds anything significant. Will you review or at least comment on that after it goes live?

Great preview. First one I've read on this DLC, and it looks great!

I just have to cross my fingers that Rock Band 3 incorporates some of these (admittedly awesome) new features, because I've got way too much $$$ invested in RB DLC to switch allegiances at this point...

Oh, wait, must be Resistance. Damn small iPhone screen.

What game is that "biggest gun ever" screen from? Looks like a cross between HL2 and CoD: WaW.

@Rattlehead: that's exactly the question I asked.

@Cyberninja: you just made me giggle like a girl. And no, you can't date me.

5 months 28 days ago on QOTW: What was your favorite E3 2009 moment?
Splinter Cell: Conviction, without a doubt. I'm so happy they're finally rebooting this franchise I just peed all over myself.

Oops, looks like it wasn't pee...
