Glitch Cat - All in all, HOtD4 is a very well done port of an arcade classic. It walks the fine line between accessible and true to the original experience rather well, and the ability for a friend to drop into your session for co-op action is great. It maintains the same visuals it did in 2005, although the HD revamp helps make it look sharper and cleaner, and it provides ample control options. Although the Move doesn’t provide a 100% accurate experience and the standard controls, although serviceable, are rather sluggish, and the lack of weapon variety is a sad oversight, the game still proves to be a fun, zombie-killing romp well worth your money.
"While arcades have seen an unfortunate decline in usage over the past years, many of the games have had a profound impact on gaming culture. Here is a quick list of ten of the most influential arcade games."-Amanda from Leviathyn.com.

April was a close race for the top spot: PSN exclusive Journey continued to see major play, with fighting game par excellence SkullGirls and emotionally exhausting survival epic The Walking Dead Episode 1 following close behind. But it was Ubisoft’s harrowing tale of one man’s survival amidst catastrophe that claimed the top spot — I Am Alive was this month’s most-downloaded PSN game.

"Before the age of armchair gaming, massive multiplayer meet-ups and 3D handheld gaming, ordinary folk would gather in arcades, their pockets heavily burdened with game tokens while queuing in line for their favourite game. There would always be at least one shooting game with those bright coloured plastic guns promising a few fleeting moments to absolutely annihilate hordes of monsters, zombies or general bad guys.
Sega brings back those fond memories, drags all that action into your room of living and trades those plastic guns for the PlayStation Move controller in The House of the Dead 4."
