![]() Frankly, this change-up from what we're used to seeing with zombies in games is a breath of fresh air. It is indeed one part survival and one part horror, with a huge emphasis on survival. ![]() However, this is just temporary for reasons you'll soon find out.įor those who enter ZombiU thinking it is simply a game where you run and gun, mowing down the undead with ease, you're going to get a very unwelcome brush with reality. Your bug-out bag (or B.O.B.) is where you can store goods. Through careful searching of your surroundings, new gear, new weapons, new upgrades, helpful items to keep the undead at bay, and items for your health can be found. ZombiU thrusts you into the zombie apocalypse as a vanilla survivor, who has nothing on him or her than a cricket bat and a handgun with six bullets in it. ZombiU is a genuinely scary game where survival isn't just of the fittest, but also the smartest, the most strategic, and seldom the most foolhardy. That's when the game isn't kicking your ass left and right, causing your adrenaline and pulse to pump wildly in fear, having you throw you hands up in the air when an infected grabs onto you and chews on you like a doberman with a fresh piece of meat. "How long will you survive?" That is the question that Wii U exclusive ZombiU asks players. Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 (Wii U, PS3, 360, 3DS) - 8.25 The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return (Wii) - 7.0 The Legend of Dark Witch (3DS eShop) - 8.0 for Wii U!

That's a study in contrast if I ever saw one! Finally, we wrapped up the month with a cute game with ghosts, the surprisingly great Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 (8.25) and then the morbid and bleak ZombiU (9.0). The lowest scoring game this month, but still above average, was Ballpoint Universe (6.5). Next in the pipeline was a Halloween-themed review of the retro variety, The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, shooting its way through zombie hordes to get a 7.0. Despite being two different games on two different systems, they ended up with the same score. Next up, two indie games on different systems were covered, Paper Monsters Recut and The Legend of Dark Witch. Next, another 9.0 was given to Super Smash Bros. Then, I scratched my Picross itch with Tappingo 2, which netted itself an 8.0. Talk about making up for lost time! Anyway, we kicked off the month with a review of Hyrule Warriors, hacking and slashing its way to a 9.0. Nine reviews were posted, several of which on the last week of the month. It's the Review Round-Up, your one-stop place for all the reviews of the past month that you may have missed. That said, let's chat about the games that I covered for October 2014. A trio of games all scored 9.0 this month.ĭISCLAIMER: I promise that I will not do any more Halloween-related puns.
