With fall releases in full swing the crew at Goozernation looks back to their ever growing backlog which includes games such as Red Dead Redemption, Fallout New Vegas, Goldeneye 007, Enslaved, Borderlands, Bulletstorm, LA Noire, and Metal Gear Solid 4. The bigger question here is how can a gamer find anytime to play this stuff and how did these games end up in the backlog?
NoobFeed.com discusses the glory that is the Collector's Edition for games that need it, but also goes over the pitfalls of having some more ridiculous editions that seem unappealing or otherwise unfitting. But in general, NoobFeed just spreads the love about the little packages that makes dedicated fans smile.
Escort quests, something that has become insanely popular in games for the last two generations of consoles. Goozernation has put together a list of games with escort quests, include, ICO, Dead Rising, Resident Evil 4, and Enslaved, The problem here is there is no standard for games, most of the time the NPC is a useless burden and makes the game almost unplayable. Should developers due away with the escort missions? Should there be some sort of standard?
"But in 10 years from now, will we look back at this period of gaming and chuckle? Will zombies seem as positively antiquated and absurd as anthropomorphic animals? Trends ebb and flow, and the likely answer is yes. Yes, zombies will seem as positively antiquated and absurd. They are a product of this era’s interest in dark violence and grim visuals, just as Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel was a product of the 90s interest in bright colors and cartoon characters."
"The fortunes of the zombie have waxed and waned over the years, but the living dead have never been as popular as they are now. Films (Zombieland, Resident Evil, Diary of the Dead), TV shows (The Walking Dead), Books (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) and, increasingly, video games. It’s not just zombie apocalypse-based games like Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead, but games completely unrelated that are jumping on the bandwagon: Call of Duty entries World at War and Black Ops both feature zombie mo..."

"I sat playing Dead Rising 2 earlier when I thought, 'You know what, there's a bit of an undead obsession sweeping the world at the moment'. Be it the mockery of vampires in Twilight (can you tell I don't like this film) or the shambling undead that stalk the world in the new series The Walking Dead, zombies and the general undead are becoming rapidly more popular than ever before. It was always inevitable that this infection of zombies would seep into the land of videogames and that's just wh..."
"Frank may have covered wars, but Chuck can walk and shoot at the same time; a skill that is far more useful than taking inappropriate pictures of walking corpses. Combine that with his more refined hand-to-hand combat and sweet motorcycle riding skills, and we have ourselves a genuine spotlight thief. Sorry, Mr. West!"
Zombie movies are known for having terrifying zombies, but can video games top the terror of Hollywood's walk dead? Keep reading to see what we think of the brain-eating trend.
"Capcom has been one of the top names in gaming since 1984. Think of your favorite games of all-time, for a specific system, perhaps from a single genre, or even by year, and Capcom probably makes an appearance every time. When Capcom announces a new game, the entire world of gaming stops to take notice, GameZone included, and 2010 has been an extraordinary year for announcements.
