Chadley and Tristan of Punch Nerds crank up Dead Pixels on Xbox 360 and discuss Chadley’s uncleanliness, zombies that look like cabbage and how unfair the game seems to be to Tristan.
Perhaps ironically, many of these games are rarely played by people who still enjoy videogames from the days of the arcade and systems like the NES and Sega Genesis. This list covers retro-inspired indie titles that deserve more attention. We’ve excluded more well-known games, such as Super Meat Boy and Shovel Knight, from consideration. Also note that many of the listed games are free. Finally, this list isn’t definitive; it only covers games that we believe are as good as or better than the retro-inspired games that get most of the hype.
GamR Mag Writes: "We have seen nearly every possible scenario of zombies featured in games, from dark, post apocalyptic settings to using plants to ward off the undead. No matter how unique or bizarre their presentation, we here at GamR Mag love zombies, and these are our ten favorites of all time."
State of Decay is probably my favorite, it's amazing for an arcade release. Can't wait to see what they can do when they make a full retail game.
For me, it's definitely The Last of Us. Had one of the best stories in a game in a long time, had great characters, and immersive gameplay. I even loved the multiplayer (though it doesn't have zombies). I do like The Walking Dead and Resident Evil, but TLOU was truly amazing.
In this week’s episode, the main topics revolve around the lack-luster sales of the Wii U and Xbox Live’s new community cop program. Jed placates an upset stomach with the Dr. Who MMO and brings up a discussion about how archaic level-up systems have become. Tommy takes us down memory lane in anticipation of Saints Row 4. Tyler ruminates over his disappointment with where the Hitman series has gone, and Dalton relives smashing kaiju faces in the PS2 classic War of the Monsters. Also, don’t buy Mars: War Logs.
