I have zero interest in this.  In fact I'm glad I traded this game in for $45.

"Very awesome games that got ignored by Giant Bomb.  It didn't even get a review... "

How is RDR being ignored? Is this not in fact a video of said game? It's a 30+ hour game that they didn't get a review copy of and they're a 4 man editorial team. And if you listened to the Bombcast at all when the game came out, you'd hear them sharing their opinions on it for weeks. Ignored my ass.

I am kind of tired of zombies. I used to be all about them, but now I'm into werewolves.

The territory control thing reminds me of GTA San Andreas' gang controlled territory thing.

Want to get this but I think that zombie ninja cougars/bears in this might test my patience too much & not be able to finish it. 
 
I'd like other games to do this with DLC, using the game world but altering things quite a lot with a side story over other DLC where it just adds a little more depth to the game world (like the liars/cheat & other RDR DLC). Both kinds of DLC are good in their own right but I think that this the kind of DLC that will get people back to play more of the game or get into playing the game.

the problem with wild west zombies is that the landscape was not populated with massive cities teeming with people to be zombified back then and zombies are only scary when they are in packs of hundreds.
 
Four zombies wandering through the desert are easy to avoid.

I find the Old West quite boring from a aesthetic stand-point, and I've grown tired of zombies for the most part, but this still looks pretty fun. If I had RDR and could actually acquire DLC for it, I'd get this in a heartbeat.

Man.
 
I hate that they just put zombies in Red Dead because it's clearly just a shitty pandering decision.
 
But at the same time, it looks awesome for ten bucks, and I wanna play more Red Dead.

It must be funny working in an office with Brad while he's reviewing a game.  Every 20 seconds or so you hear "Oh God!  Oh Nooooes!" from the other side of the room.  xD

I lost interest in the regular Red Dead game about a third of the way through, a common problem for me and sandbox-style games.  This, however, looks like a ton of fun!  Now, if only my Xbox wasn't currently vacationing in Red Ring City... 
 
Also, no Brads were pulled in the making of this Quick Look.

Next month it's being released on disc, along with the rest of the DLC, stand-alone.  Nov. 23rd for (presumably) $20.  Keep an eye out.

One of my favorite games ever gets better...even if Brad is still not so good at it haha. He needs to use more Dead Eye, and if you hit them four times with the torch, not two, the zombies die.

Considering how substantial the gta 4 single player add on stuff was, I am not surprised this turned out rather beefy.

Brad Shoemaker is really cute, but really bad at games... at least when he's under the gun of being filmed while doing so. :(

Yup, pretty much. And before the Apologist Crew comes out to rebuke us, that's a perfectly legitimate criticism. We love Brad. Brad's great. But even I'm a more attentive, efficient gamer than Brad, and I'm nowhere near pro caliber. I mean, come on, how can you not know to check your mini-map, or notice the plain white text at the bottom of the screen, or even see the coffin sitting plainly beside the church? I know it's hard when you've got people filming you and you're trying to hold a conversation with someone about the game, but come on. This is elementary gameplay stuff. 
 
I wouldn't go so far as to say Brad's bad at games in general, though. He's obviously very good at Starcraft and Quake, amongst others. It just seems like we get exposed to his weaknesses far more often than his strengths on here. (Not that Quick Looks are necessarily the best places to look for displays of one's skills.) Love ya, Brad. Just try to be a bit more attentive.
