Zombie Virus

I was in Heatons today when I noticed a PS2 game on one of the shelves, it was called Zombie Virus. I thought it would be great fun because of my weakness for zombie games. This made me lose that weakness. This is the shitty story:

You play a ginger medical student called Whogivesashit living in a supposed utopia. An earthquake hits Shit City and somehow turns people into zombies, exept you and your whore friend. You and Whore have to leave the safety of your hospital and rescue survivors, one at a time, in an ambulance and bring them back to the hospital. And, of course, kill the shit out of some zombies by running them over.

The fact that zombies only die by vehicle is because you can't get out of the fucking ambulance while outside. The only time you can walk is while in the zombie-free basement of the hospital, and although this is a change from driving everywhere, your charicter runs like a retard on acid.

Some other flaws include:
Appearance-Apparantly, this game was made in 2006, but it looks like it was made in 1800.
Gameplay-The controls in the game aren't that bad, but the ambulance goes around the place with a surprising lack of urgency, and the indicator on the ambulancecomes on when you turn a corner, WHY!?
The whole idea of the game-Tell me, how the fuck does an earthquake turn people into zombies?!

Overall, a terrible game that will make you completely lose hope for the future of the PS2, don't waste your money like I did.

Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock

To start off, I just have to say, don't let the name fool you. GHIII:LOR is actually the 4th game in the series, also, it's called Legends Of Rock, but the only legend of rock in it is Slash (Guns 'n' Roses/Velvet Revolver)! So, now that that's out of the way, let's get on with it.

GHIII is basically the same game as the rest of them, exept this time the fucking retards had enough sense to include a Metallica song this time around, I'd have thought that they would have done that years ago. Although it's essentially the same game, some changes have been made. The developers have included a co-op mode which is fun at first, but there's no faster way to fall out with your friends.

As for the songs there's some good stuff, some shitty stuff(but hasn't that always been the case) and some stuff I've never heard of. Also, some boss fights have been included. There are only three, Tom Morello, Slash and the Devil.

Overall, a great game that you should probably rent first to test it out because there is a chance you would rather watch Fraiser on a T.V. the size of a contact lens at the bottom of the sea using your own severed finger as a joint.

If you'd rather do that than play this, you are a non-existant creature of myth.

Halo 3

I realize that this is a bit late, but I only played it recently so here we go.

There are a few words to describe this game e.g. o.k., good etc., the list is endless.
It is a good game although it his its downsides, like the fact that the campaign is much too short. Not only that, the levels near the start are too hard for the average gamer with his/her brain turned to liquid. Also, the AI is pure shit. If you order a soldier to drive your vehicle, he rams it straight into a wall and stares at it expecting it to move.

That isn't to say that it is bad. Its multiplayer mode is fantastic! Most people don't give a flying shit about multiplayer, but screw them!

All in all it is an o.k. game that,even if the first few levels kick your ass, it keeps you interested 'till the end
