Yeah yeah, sliced bread. What-EVER, wheel. We all know the best things come from America. WWE. The Simpson's. Budweiser. Perhaps the greatest of them all, though, are these fine creatures.. (enjoy scrolling down)  Now add zombies. Oh, and a chainsaw. You now make up one of my Christmas presents from Mrs C, Lollipop Chainsaw.www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB17PMjE-nEDitching the horror and suspense of the Resident Evil series, this is a pure arcade button bashing splatterfest, with amazing, eye-popping visuals and trippy, Manga style cut-scenes. Add a rock n roll soundtrack, 60's horror comic inspired artwork and tongue firmly in cheek sense of humour and you've got one hell of a fun ride. And I can't wait to see the Cosplay.. |

It's good then? I was well aware of this one from conception, but games of this type tend to end up pretty shitty so I relegate them to bargain bin purchases since I'm not a huge action game fan anyways. But yeah, if'n you want my attention, a tagline like "sex, blood, and rock n' roll" is a mighty fine way to go about getting it. I don't know if you ever played "Stubbs the Zombie" (it's last gen), but the song on that trailer brought that one back to me with a vengeance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUukH_QDoMABRING THAT SHIT BAAAACK! |

Argh, God damn it. I often reply to these threads at work, and for some reason the computer I use does NOT like the Proboards site, and so I click and respond and it sort of looks like it's replied when it really hasn't. God knows how many replies and comments that I think I've posted have actually vanished.
Anyway, I did a bit of a search for "Stubbs the Zombie" and, FUCK, it's only available on X Box. Sometimes it sucks being a PS guy. A damn shame, because that looks like exactly the sort of game I would love.
As for Lollipop Chainsaw, it would've been easy for the guys behind the game to just stick to the run around and kill everything formula, but it's actually packed with extremely inventive cutaway mini-games you need to complete before you can progress the level. Shoot zombies off a moving bus? Slam dunk 100 zombie heads into a basketball net? Drive over 300 zombies in a combine harvester? All that and more.
The end of level guardians are all modeled on forms of rock music. One boss references Black Flag, Misfits AND Pulp Fiction. And has there ever been a Norwegian black metal boss in a game before?
Yeah, I'd label this one a must have.

Guess what I found in the bargain bin yesterday? Yeah, bought this sucker. Fun game for sure, but some of the quicktime activation stuff has issues and zombie baseball ruined my epic score. That fucking gun, man.... either stick to the target or don't, damn it! Great damn music, though, and full of laughs. I'm not sure I'm going to do multiple playthroughs, which is a shame because I don't appear to be unlocking too many outfits on my initial one and I love me some unlockable character outfits, but the game is well worth playing. If you really loved this one, I recommend Bayonetta, which is similar in a lot of ways, but has much deeper combat and better finishing moves. Plus, chick's got guns on her feet. Her. Fucking. Feet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWolGErlxlU |
