Dead Rising on the xbox 360. Zombie killing goodness

This is the first game I've seen that really makes me want to get a 360.

This month I have been mostly playing - Eve-Online.

/me waves to the crazy Minmatar!

Started playing Oblivion when it came out, but put it down again shortly after I discovered the scaled monster levelling system - getting your legs eaten off by a rat just because you happend to practise your alchemy abit wasn't very appealing. I know the modding community as been working on this, does anyone have any recommendations or experience with any of the add ons?

I've been using this list of mods, the key ones being Oscuro's mod (to get rid of levelling monsters) and BTMod. I've enjoyed them very much.

Note that there are newer versions than those listed, make sure you go to the authors' sites and get them.

Civ 4 Warlords
Dead Rising

Oh, Dead Rising is some sick, sick goodness.

Most faithful (to Romero movies) zombie game I've ever seen. It's amazingly cinematic... and some of the cutscenes are just creepy. I haven't gotten very far in it (beginning of the second day), and the save game system is enough to drive a person insane. But I guess, that's the point, isn't it?

Fun moments: (1) Mowing down zombies with a push lawnmower. (2) Walking out of the blade store stocked with longswords and katanas (and a shaved head)... Zombie killing time.

World of Warcraft. I can't really get myself to play anything else....

I haven't played... in fact, I don't even have a 360. But, the former was the first thing my friend Sean bragged about, and the latter was the first thing I asked.

I have Resident Evil 4 and X-Men Legends 2 for GameCube waiting for me but I can't seem to pull myself away from DDO. Every time I say I'm going to take a break, something pulls me back in.

I've been skeptical about the longevity of DDO for a while now but I have to say, Turbine is adding some really cool stuff and with more frequency. Module 2 was released about a month ago and there is another substantial patch today. They are also fixing a lot of bugs and making some needed changes.

World of Xeen.

 

[Rl'Halsinor]

Dungeon Siege II. Considerably better than the first one, the graphics are very well done, and I like their system for how different it is from the standard D&D fare, i.e., experience, spells, armor combinations, weapons, monsters, etc.. Still it is hack & slash, but I got more than my money's worth out of it.
