Wow, what a great game.  That’s really all there is to say about it.  I particularly enjoy the green packaging.  But really what struck me was Activision’s odd efforts to get back to their roots in VGA point and click gaming.  Whoever said the genre is dead clearly needs to play this game.  However, I didn’t enjoy the scarcity of ammunition.  How am I supposed to fight zombies if I don’t have enough ammo to do it?  Give me the tools to get the job done or else go home, Left 4 Dead.

Something really needs to be said about the co-op though.  That’s where this game really shines.  I simply had to hook up my X-Box 360 to my friend’s using the Activision E-Link Cable that came with the game and we were off.  The brilliance was how they had two players controlling one screen, instead of splitting the screen into two.  I controlled the movement and my friend controlled the actions.  Really a stroke of genius on the developer’s part.

If I had to review this game, which I do, then I would give it at least twelve stars.  Really it could go no lower, it’s so amazing.  Buy it today! 

Tim Burton’s adaptation of Sweeney Todd was everything I had hoped it would be, and more. The music was addictive and the raw voices of the actors were better suited for the film than professional singers could have ever provided. The amazing costumes - which were perfectly “Burton” - coupled with the overly bright shade of blood - and there was a lot of blood - contrasted perfectly to keep the thread of comedy amid the murder.

Johnny Depp, you are incredible.

My rating: 5 by 5
