State of Decay still exists, take a stealthy look
When we last looked at State of Decay, our man Casey Baker was pretty excited. The idea of a persistent, zombie-afflicted, open world where choices matter and survivors have to literally survive? Well, sounds great in theory, at least! Anyway, here's a video showing off a simple stealth mechanic, creating a noisy distraction to draw the horde away from a potential supply source. It's pretty simple, but it serves a purpose. As rough as it currently looks, I'm going to hope for the best. I like the idea of the game, especially seeing as it's strictly single-player, and I feel such things should be encouraged. I'm looking forward to seeing more, at any rate. The game's currently slated for release on PC and XBLA. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
12:00 PM on 05.18.2013 Preview: The Last of UsI was skeptical of The Last of Us. Despite all the hype and high promises, to me, it looked like post-apocalyptic Uncharted. I wasn't sold on the dynamic nature of how the game progressed, and as we all know, zombies have been literally done to death in the past five years. Then, I got a chance to actually play it. How many days until June 14th again?

3:30 PM on 05.16.2013 Watch the worst Fallout game ever madeJordan and I have started a new game in our Couch Campaign, and it's one that I have been excited to play since we first began talking about the project. As a huge fan of the Fallout franchise and a lover of top-down, exploration shoot-em-up games, the pairing of the two could have been glorious. And Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is, provided you think train wrecks can be glorious.
