Dead Rising 2 - SUX!

Dean and I played a ton of video games this long weekend. :)

We got married in Fable, and then he wanted to divorce because he thought it would get him an achievement. I wouldn't let him divorce me though.

Then we played Dead Rising 2 for a while. In concept, this game should rule. Well it fucking sucks. I give it 3 out of 10. It would be a 7 if it stripped the whole element of time management from the game. What good is the ability to combine random shit into crazy ass weapons if you can't go around and use them? I really just want to spend an hour decapitating zombies.

Dean says I just need to "play more to get into it." Whatever. We failed a mission twice because we ran out of time. When we finally passed the mission it's because we just walked past every zombie to make it through a series of cut scenes. Where's the fun in that?

After the failed couple attempts at playing Dead Rising 2 and going back to Fable 3, I started thinking about how all the games out there pretty much suck. There is nothing on the horizon that I'm super interested in playing. There are good sequels on the way (Bioshock, Dead Space, Oblivion, Portal, GoW, Ghost Recon). But sequels are you know...sequels. And then there's LA Noire - which will basically be Grand Theft Auto all guido-ed up.

WTF video game industry. You suck. Or am I missing something? Enlighten me.
