After seeing all this news on the new Red Dead Redemption DLC, I only have a few things to say on it. 
 
I still don't understand this basic formula which people always fall for, Good game + Zombies = Great Game!. Some games make no sense putting zombies in them. When I first heard about this, I honostly thought it was a joke, that nobody in there rightful mind would think about putting zombies in a game in this setting. But low and behold, Rockstar has fell to the zombie pressure. Why are zombies such a hit these days? is it because it's the only enemy that everyone can truly agree to hate? Is it because zombies are just fun to kill? or is it just some other random obscure reason? I don't know, and quite frankly, I don't want to know.
 
Sure zombie games are fun, take Left 4 Dead for example. This game is based upon the zombie apocalypse and delivers it really well. Dead Rising does it really well, why? Again, the whole premise of the game is based on zombies. Hell even Resident Evil is another great example. But now your gonna say Borderlands, Red Dead Redemption, and a whole slew of other games that I can't think of on the top of my head. OH RIGHT! Yakuza recently announced a zombie game. What do all these have in common? THEY ARE ALL GAMES NOT BASED ORIGINALLY UPON ZOMBIES!. Don't you dare tell me Yakuza is, There have been 4 games int he series NOT based on zombies so I'm not counting it in this case. 
 
So what do I think about this? It's getting rather annoying. I would hate to see a future game I enjoy like Fallout, or LBP, or Final Fantasy succumb to this "zombie epidemic" (get what I did there -_-).  Note to all developers, Good Game + Zombies = Great Game IS NOT ALWAYS CORRECT. It could definitely RUIN a game in a lot of cases. But the most important one is that most games that add zombies make no sense when you add them in. Wild West + Zombies??? what???? It just doesn't quite honostly make sense to me. But if you like this sort of turn for gameplay then be my guest, buy 9 copies of the DLC. I'm still on the fence about it. Just seems like it could ruin a lot of games that are still in development. I'd hate to see some great franchises add zombies just to appeal to the audience.

Hey all you Monkey Island FANS!!! RIGHT NOW Steam is having a sale where ALL of the Tales of Monkey island episodes are 86% OFF!! This brings the game from $34.99 to $4.99!!!! If you ever were waiting to get Tales of Monkey Island, NOW is the best possible time!!

Left 4 Dead, and Left 4 Dead 2 just got seriously discounted today. 66% to be exact. you can pick em both up for roughly $11, or just one for $6.79. Pretty sweet offer as I just got Left 4 Dead 2 today. Didn't bother with the first since the 2nd has more features and weapons and such. CHECK IT OUT!

Hopefully I'll be able to 100% all the level in The GoL soon. It's pretty hard considering the requirements but I know that if I try I can do it. I'm kinda pissed that the multiplayer won't be out for a while though. I don't have anyone locally to play with, so the online multiplayer will be extremely wanted by me.
