Hope they haven't set themselves an impossible task with such a superb CG trailer. A definite Lost influence (the music, the disjointed time, falling out of a window)

Here it is in the right order/direction...

When he cries I cry.
Is it just me or does anyone else care more about the characters on this trailer than any of the characters on The Walking Dead tv series. I think it is the superior character development that does it.

The trailer is amazing but..I mean...come on. Another zombie game? I like zombies but they need to feck off for about a decade.

But personally I just can't get away from the fact that I'm uncomfortable watching a graphic depiction of the horrific final moments of the life of a young girl.
Hate shit like this...It's a fecking game..about zombie attacks..

1) If it ever were to happen, yes, kids would get ripped to pieces too.

2) It will never happen

3) It's a game! Not real! The final moments of the life of a young girl is not real!

I mean, it doesn't even make sense. It's graphic yes, but it doesn't glorify anything does it?

How do we know the little girl hadn't shit in the pool earlier on before the Zombie invasion.

What some call graphic, I call karma.

Quite right, technically she could have caused the invasion.

Yeah, then there is Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, which puts girls in a really bad light.

But what exactly is it glorifying that is so bad?

All these other games, GTA, Call Of Duty, Manhunt etc all glorified violence or terrorism, or at least those were the complaints...

What is this doing? If there were to be a zombie attack, kids wouldn't be exempt, they would be targets.

I've heard that its coop, which its a shame considering that these sort of games tend to have a shit storyline or bad controls as single player.

Chelsea. Come at me bitches!
All the previews of it seemed to suggest it would such a great game... I loved Dead Rising 2 on the PS3, hoped this would be the next Zombie game to add to my collection... will only be renting it if it's truly that poor!

EDIT: Wait, I just read the review... it's sounds exactly as people where expecting it to be! Where are you getting these criticisms of it from?

But the IGN review says it's good! Where are all of these poor reviews? IGN barely have a bad thing to say about it, apart from some graphical glitches
I usually only buy a game which gets 85% + on the sites like game rankings and metacritic before I consider buying a game.

These sites give an average based on loads of sites so it seems quite a fair reflection

Stiicking to this It also keeps an already large back log of games I own which I have yet to play down a bit
