hucklebarry: Playing Dead Island. Its a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Had heard lots of comments about it either being multiplayer only or horrible single player... so far I'm loving the single player. I'm a big fan of search and destroy (hunt for loot and kill zombies)
Who do you Voodoo, bitch? ;) Played the first Dead Island in singleplayer mode as well. I really enjoyed the first area, had a tough time in the second area (until I found out that you just have to burn those armored beasts) and got really annoyed later, because of my weapons breaking too fast (and the game becoming REALLY repetitive). It's a good game, but a bit too long if you want to play it as a singleplayer game. Can't say a lot about other characters, but as Sam B it was: kick, hit on arm, hit on arm, kick, hit on other arm, hit on other arm, kick, hit, hit, kick, hit, hit,... If I felt like doing something funky, I looked for a bat with a sawing blade, enabling me to cut of arms, instead of breaking them. Kick, hit, hit, kick, hit, hit,... all the time. In multiplayer it would've been okay for another few hours (probably just enough to finish the game), but in singleplayer...
It was well worth the money (got it for €10, I think), because it was real fun in the first hours. It's just not a game that I think I'll ever play again.
