I got this today, not sure if Iain is wanting it enough for me to give him it as a birthday present so might play it tonight. I might get too scared though, as I'm a big wuss, and have to turn it off

It's not a scary game . It's just an action shooter.

Dead Space is the scary one!

I MAY, may have gotten a little bit scared playing Dead Rising....

A game doesn't have to necessarily be scary to other people to scare me unfortunately.

How can you get scared in a game where the zombies stand still long enough for you to put a yellow toy helmet on their heads and then let you take a picture of them?

Because I'm such a chicken! It was when they were evil and it was scary in the flat on my own!

Playing Left 4 Dead with Iain on co-op. It's awesome (as everyone obviously knows, but I'm a bit behing the times!!). Will have to join you lot at some point

Survivor mode looks fun. Apparently designed for shorter, 10 minute-ish stints. Well, when I say 'ish':

Quote:
How furious is it? Consider this: In all of the play testing that the Valve designers have done while creating this mode, none of them have ever survived past the 10 minute mark. We're told the company best so far was about nine minutes, with a team of elite players battling like crazy to keep one another alive. Our experience at Valve averaged around three or four minutes a round, but they're like the fastest three or four minutes of your life.
And well, when I say fun:
Quote:
What makes it so challenging is that the Survival mode doesn't waste time building up. After the initial wave of zombies you'll start getting hit by waves of special zombies; these are the hunters, smokers, boomers, and tanks. You'll get multiples of them at a time; I often saw two or three hunters or smokers leaping around the battle while the mindless horde minions were everywhere. In one battle, we had the tank, a boomer, a couple of smokers, and a hunter hitting us at the same time. We're told it's even possible to get two tanks at the same time, a prospect that seems both ludicrously unfair and hilarious at the same time.


And there is something new:
Quote:
There is one entirely brand-new level in the DLC called Lighthouse which the designers say may be the toughest level of them all.

Oooh you guys have just reminded me!!

You know the achievement of killing witchy witch with a single headshot... how do you achieve that?!? I think we were playing on easy... if not normal mode and I had a perfect headshot on the little monkey... and did she die?! Nooooooo! Did she rip me to shreds instead?! Yusssss!

Picky reckons someone else has to get her health down loads and then another person takes a headshot?

Annoying me it is
