I see that The Walking Dead game came out. I need to see some reviews before I download it, though I guess I can risk it sucking for $5.99

I just read reviews on IGN and Gamespot, they both like it. I will probably give episode one a shot over the weekend.

I downloaded it earlier. I only played 45 minutes or so but so far I like it. The graphics look like a cartoon or graphic novel - to me its a good look. Nice gore too. I smashed a zombies head with a hammer and the eyes bulged.

I played the entire Walking Dead game in the past two days. I liked it a lot. Its essentially a 'choose your own adventure' type game with action options and dialogue options but I liked the story and graphics. There are a few action scenes where you need to be quick. The whole thing too me about 4 hours so the $4.99 price is not bad.
Plus if I get bored I may go back and choose some other options.

From what I hear the only way the main character could possibly trip more often is if he had an IV of LSD hooked up the entire game.

Looking forward to Game of Thrones. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

An interesting video about how to design video games, as explained via a classic SNES game:

Anyone play that Dragon Dogma yet? That looks pretty serious. Fantasy style shit, Devil May Cry-like fighting, Zombie apocalypse going on, Dragons and wyverns... I may just pick this up today.

All out mayhem, I fucking love it. Jump onto one of the Chimera's three heads, start slashing away, jump to the next one, behead it. Shit is pretty awesome. So happy I got this instead of Game of Thrones.

This game is just as time consuming as Skyrim. Should have just kept that game from the get go. Oh well.

So, there is a petition out there to make Dragon's Dogma a 4 player co op game online. If that goes through, this will be the best game ever. I wonder if Capcom will even pay it any mind. Currently you have a full time "pawn". A follower that helps you fight. You can hire up to 2 other "pawns" that can be other players so long as you are connected online. So you have a 4 person party with two NPC players from another persons saved game... I dont think it should be that hard to incorporate 4 player co op.

God that would be awesome. I can't wait to get home and resume my quest.
