Just a heads up for those of you that don't have it and live in the US. I haven't played this yet but may pick it up at this price.

That's pretty sweet. I might actually play it for $20.

I'd recommend it at that price. The first third of the game is amazing, and even though it goes downhill from there, it doesn't end up overstaying its welcome and there is a lot of fun to be had.

Thats real tempting but... I still need to pound through DMC HD collection and just bought Persona 3:FES on PSN. Way to overloaded!

I just so happen to have money on me at the moment so this shall be bought.

Just picked up yesterday on 360. Holy crap they could not have made the characters less likable. However it's not bad at all once you get into the game and I have not heard my character curse once yet in game. (the guns expert)

Playing it with the stick as recommend by Mr. Shoemaker and after you get used to it it's crazy fun. Also I have yet to run into any glitches. If anyone is on the fence about this I think it's as good a time as ever to jump on.

It's tempting, but does anybody know how well it runs on PS3 compared to 360?

is it scary/tense at all? or is it neo-resident-evil style?

@killacam:

It actually has had some tense moments. For as bright as the game is whenever you have to go into a dark building or down a tunnel shit gets scary. Or maybe I'm just a bitch.

No, you're not a bitch. If I was walking through a dark tunnel, and turned around and a zombie was right behind me, I would shit my pants.

As someone who is completely done with zombies, I agree with this. If you're still pretty stoked about playing zombie games, then I guess get it? I dunno.
