StrengthGamer: Dead Nation Review

Dead Nation is Zombie Apocalypse with gun upgrades, hidden armor upgrades, and a "storyline" (if you can really call it that). While they may sound awesome, it's really quite boring. This somehow made shooting zombies feel like the actual chore it would be if it really happened.

Yeah- I'll stick with Zombie Apocalypse or Dead Ops Arcade

darthv725258d ago

"Dead Nation is Zombie Apocalypse" I was thinking of making that comparative but didnt want to out loud.

Oops...

Truth be told, ZA is a fun mindless game. A real treat to play like Smash TV was back in the day. I have not played DN yet but it looks to be as fun if not more.

I likes killin me some zombies!

Close_Second5258d ago

Hmmm...$130 for Black Ops or $24 for Dead Nation...

I will always support good developers and after the brilliant Super Stardust HD and Super Stardust Portable I have ignored the reviews (which are all largely positive) and got the game.

Fanboyism is not as disgusting as kiddy fiddling but you sure all deserve to be locked up in the same cell together.

Graphics are....bad? Excuse me but I've been playing for a good while now and I haven't noticed any "bad" graphics. It all looks clean and I love the dark atmosphere, it gives it an eerie feeling.

It's probably taking place all in one night thus no daylight. I'm kind of glad they didn't use the second analog stick as the fire button otherwise it be point and shoot, instead they use R1 as the fire button making every shot count considering you have limited ammo except for the Rifle (something you'll want to upgrade fully early in the game, it'll save your ass more times than I can count).

It's a pretty tough game but it makes it all the more fun and challenging.

I bought this and honestly thought I was playing zombie apocalypse. Ridiculous.

T9X695258d ago

Both are twin stick shooters, both involve Zombies. Put two and two together slick.

WutPleaze5258d ago

This as as much a twin stick shooter as call of duty or even uncharted. R1 is used to fire, making it the same scheme as every other shooter basically. do you consider grand theft auto a twin stick shooter?

FAGOL5258d ago

I wonder why they chose to make a zombie shooter after making such a good game like super stardust.

Close_Second5258d ago

Downloaded it this morning and its an absolute blast. Graphics are great, sound is great and the feeling of doom and gloom is exactly what I expected.

Its easily an 8.5/10 for me.

Aquanauts Holiday at $500. Nice

I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.

Profchaos330d ago

I tend to agree for the most part rarity is linked to price
It's unusual that a rare game was popular with a few notable exceptions. Games released at the tail end of a consoles lifecycle which became popular years or decades later like little Samson on the NES or earthbound on SNES.
Or games that were banned after release in certain regions

Looking at this list there's nothing I'd be trying to collect either most of these games were fairly unpopular and bashed on their release leading to the scarcity seen now.
Especially NBA elite which I remember actually watching the news about how it got cancelled but had already shipped to retail it was so bad .

P_Bomb330d ago

I still have Afrika. Who knew it’d be worth something?

MrBaskerville330d ago

Was unaware that Verdict Day was rare, glad I still own my copy. Game is very good.

Chocoburger330d ago

She forgot to mention Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Wizard's Edition with Ninostarter bonuses. This is the second or third most expensive PS3 game, and I own a sealed copy.

yeah, shame about the clicks for each entry though

The VR version of Stardust is an incredible experience, even for those that get VR sickness, the game gives you the feeling of floating in the vastness of space, but the motion sickness is removed, its colorful, flashy, and amazing to play

IBD Podcast #13 - Housemarque and mastering the twin-stick shooter

Housemarque is famed for its downloadable console games including Super Stardust, Dead Nation, Alienation, PS4 launch title Resogun and now Nex Machina. The veteran Finnish developer has made a name for itself crafting, precise, polished, technically accomplished and visually striking titles in publishing partnership with Sony.

With its latest title, Nex Machina, launching for both PS4 and PC, Housemarque is taking its first step into self-publishing. Working in collaboration with pioneering developer Eugene Jarvis, who created arcade classics such as Defender, Robotron: 2084 and Smash TV, Nex Machina represents both a refinement and evolution of Housemarque's design principles, as well as an opportunity for the developer to directly benefit from establishing and retaining its own IP.

Here, Housemarque CEO Ilari Kuittinen and head of publishing Mikael Haveri discuss how the decision to self-publish has led to greater autonomy, a collaboration with Eugene Jarvis and how a game titled "Death Machine" could mean a new lease of life for the company.
