Halloween may have come and gone, but not for this blog...ZOMBIE EDITION!

Well well well.. it has been like just over a week since I last updated my blog! That's a bit crap tbf! I shouldn't be neglecting this! Well I have decided to make this post a zombie edition, I dunno why, maybe cause there is just zombies. Zombies everywhere! I mean we have the new Dead Rising 2, RDR: Undead Nightmare, zombies in COD:BO and I've completed part 2 of my zombie story *Cheers* Anyways, sorry that it has taken me a while to get this part out, hopefully it'll be good for now until I start writing up part 3! If you haven't read part 1 yet, I strongly suggest you do if you want to understand anything that is going on so far, you can read it here! Anyway without further delay, let's get this post going!



Now I was bit worried about buying this game at first, due to the fact that I thought this game would be too much like Dead Rising 1, yeah there definite improvements and new game play aspects, but I wasn't too sure. The multi-player mode also didn't catch my fancy too much. Well this was until Sophie (Check her blog here!) lent me the game, and boy did my worries drift away quickly! Now before in dive in and give my feelings about the game, I haven't played much into the storyline, but even so, I don't think you have to understand how great this game could potentially be to play. I like the little intro, you are thrown straight in to the Terror Is Reality game show and you find yourself riding a bike with 2 chainsaws equipped to the handle bar! Sounds awesome right? Well trying playing it, just riding through hordes of zombies cutting them to pieces, while facing off against three other players was just thrilling enough! I still wonder what it'd be like against other players, but I'll try that soon enough! So after this, I got straight into the game, watched the cut scenes and started playing, straight away, the HUD has been greatly improved, everything looks nicer and more smoother, just making it straight away look like a very nice game! Eventually you are introduced to combo cards, what are they? They are cards which show you what items you can combine together to create an even better weapon, I mean who wouldn't want a drill bucket? Plus the music while creating the items was pretty cool, personally like it a lot! The survivors around the city seem to be a lot easier to have accompany you now! Rather than getting in your way or even just standing there letting themselves get attacked by zombies, they react to situations quite well and do quite the opposite of what they used to, they stay out of your way and fend off zombies themselves. +1 so far to Capcom! Now...I've gotta say, my personal favourite improvement thus far, is that you can now SKIP conversations! YES! Thank you, no longer do I have to sit there and wait 30 seconds for the next line to come up, I can skip them whenever I like! YES Thank you Capcom, 10+ to you!

On to some dislikes of this game, main one is where is Frank?! I knew he wasn't going to be featured in the game at all, but why not? He was a great character,oh so manly and he knew how to work the ladies as well. I have heard though, dunno if it is true or not, that is rumoured that he will be featured in a future DLC pack and will fight along with Chuck against the zombie hoards! That would be sweet to see tbh. They both seem to be very cool and fun characters to play! Both together should make the game a whole lot more enjoyable! My other dislike thus far is, I ain't sure if it was the same in the first one, but Chuck seems to move along quite slow, I dunno if that is just me though? He just moves along slowly, admiring the scene...thinking about his daughter...killing some zombies...O.o



Phwoar do I want this? Yeah I do! When I found out about this, I thought it was all lies! They wouldn't would they?! But they did! Yes Rockstar, you complete game developing legends! Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare was the 4th (I think?) and final DLC for the game. They went out with a bang on this one, a whole new story to the single-player side of the game and new game modes to the multi-player side. Playing as John Martson, a plague has spread around and it is up to you to find out what is happening and to find a cure! I've read so much about about this pack, watched some videos and heard so many positive reviews about it! I just can't wait to get it, hopefully for Christmas along with the other DLC packs which I still don't have apart from the free one (Poorfag ftw)! Well there isn't really much I could write about this one apart from the fact I want it that badly. I might just have to do a future post about it when I get the game I suppose! Just thought I'd bang it in here for now to let you guys know!




Here we are with part 2 of my zombie story...Part 3 will be out soon! I promise :} Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it ^.^ Your comments and support is always appreciated!


Part 2

Ha...Kind of makes you grateful for the how simple life used to be compared to what it was like now. I don’t see things’ changing back to normal for a very long time after this is all done. I wonder if anyone will read this, I hope so, maybe they can learn to avoid the mistakes we have made that caused all of this...I am documenting all the events, just so that if this story was to get out to someone, they would know truly what happened...what happened to me, my family and the rest of the country. The truth needs to be told. You think this could never possibly happen, watching it in the films you get scared but laugh about it after. How ironic eh? We aren’t laughing yet.

I woke up the following morning, I thought I must’ve woken up early in the morning, as it was still quite dark outside, regardless it was like 8AM, I rolled over to cuddle with the girlfriend but she wasn’t there. Assuming she had gone into the shower, I went to the bathroom to join her. To my disappointment though, she wasn’t in the bathroom either. Suppose she must have gone to make breakfast or something like that I guess. Nowhere to be found in the house, I tried ringing her mobile to see where she had got herself to. I then assumed she must’ve gone for a jog with the dog as I could not find the dog anywhere either. I grabbed the house phone and dialled for her mobile to see where she had gotten herself to.  I heard the ringing faintly coming from outside the back garden. That’s right she must’ve been hanging the washing up or doing some early morning gardening. I mean who doesn’t? I went to the window and had a look out the window. I noticed the dog was next to his kennel, and next to him was my girlfriend’s mobile phone...covered in blood. I quickly dashed for the back door and ran out towards the kennel until I saw her... Lying there, completely still, her body had been ravaged. The dog turned to straight at me growling as if I were threatening him. His eyes were jet black with red shots going to his pupils, he had blood drooling from his mouth and fur scuffed up. I backed off a few paces, but then the dog lunged at me, continuously snapping it’s jaw and barking at me. I quickly turned round and dashed it back to the house locking the sliding door behind me. I ran straight for the phone and dialled for the police. The service was busy, the service was busy...the service was busy. I have this crazed animal at my window that has ripped my girlfriend to bits and your service is busy! Then I heard a loud smash of glass shattering, I opened the drawer and pulled out a butcher knife, ready to defend myself at whatever was coming. I looked round the corner into the hallway, nothing...I looked in the living room, nothing...This crazed animal had gone missing and I have no idea where has gone. I turn around to try the phone again and there he is, as if he was waiting there for me to turn round, he lunged at me again, taking me to the floor, snapping his jaw at me, I quickly stabbed the knife through his skull to defend myself, then silence. I was there for a few seconds before pushing the dog to the side of me, I couldn’t actually put one and two together about what just happened. Was this a joke? A bad nightmare? Or was this actually happening?

I ran out to the back garden, ran straight to the kennel, following the blood trail the dog had left back to my girlfriend or where she was. What? But she was right here just 5 minutes ago...The body had moved, had someone else moved it? Or had it moved itself? I looked round and saw a blood trail leading to an open back gate, I ran out to see if I could see anything. Oh boy did I see something.

Happy gaming!
