LiquidOxygen80: I'm not one of those people. I frickin' liked the zambie carnage. The fetch quests not so much, but there was something really awesome hiding in that game.
GastonArg: yeah, for me was the exploration of the world and levels and the weapons hitting the zombies just felt right, it wasn't like in most of the games, the guns not so much, but killing zombies never turned annoying or boring for me plus the crafting system was very fun, a little unbalanced but fun
I like Dead Island as well, especially the first game. It seemed the most genuine experience to me, particularly when being mobbed out in the streets.
I haven't found a good scary game lately, though I do have One Late Night on my soon-to-play list. I have to say that the first Amnesia game didn't do much for me - everything damages you, including just hiding, so it turns from a well-paced horror story into a marathon of racing between the few spots where you can simply exist in peace. I thought Penumbra did a better job of it, frankly.
