I can't tell if you're serious or not but there is an entire genre based around this very concept!
I could live with the fact that ZombiU might be a bad game
But this review is absolute trash

Treyarch has a history of treating their audience on Nintendo consoles like customers instead of milk cows. I think from all the ports, BO2 should be the safest bet to actually deliver on the promises they made.
I would've stayed away from ME3 and NG3 anyway. Batman still has to prove it doesn't run like total horseshit, and DS2 also has to prove that it runs any better than on 360 or PS3.
Gonna go with ZombiU and BO2 for 3rd parties.

And if you'd like to watch the video review.

sounds like someone went in expecting a FPS
"GameSpot's Maxwell McGee fights his way through this video review of ZombiU on the Wii U"
Give me a break.
Eh, Dark Souls is my game of the year (PC). That shit sounds awesome.
I just don't wanna get burned. Not got a huge amount of cash for launch games.
To be fair for me there are fine differences between say something like Dark Souls and The Binding of Issac or other tougher rogue likes. I loved Dark Souls because you didn't lose items or your current level or really even the progress through the game.

It's probably allready in the making.

No, I think the only thing they're offering is the black friday deal (or rather brown thursday), buy 1 get one 40% off. Target has a buy two, get one 50% off on the third on release day though.

Did the reviewer of ZombiU actually say ammo is more scarce than the cricket bat???
ahahaha, the hell???
Do you lose the bat or something and it's everywhere to pick up during the game???

Uh, wow. Someone's gonna get a lashing at Gamespot because all types of articles are accessible through the mobile interface before they're on the main site.
So... ZombiU. It's gotten a 91 and a 4.5. Hmm...
Of course, one needs more reviews (or GAF impressions) to really tell if the game is a disappointment or not, but it's the equal lowest rating the reviewer has given at Gamespot, so it's not like it can be completely ignored. I'll be waiting for more reviews, but my interest has sure taken a slight tumble.
edit: oooh, video review. Downloading now.

Agreed
It's strange, he acknowledges the fact that it is a survival-horror but at the same time criticises it for being so.

Which was expected from the outset. Games like ZombiU and/or Dark Souls/Amnesia aren't as popular as action Games with grotesque Enemies. The survival horror genre is a niche and slow and methodical gameplay isn't the current hot flavor.
To dislike this design is one thing, to outright disqualify it is just as useless as people decrying COD for being the way it is.

92.
GameSpot redeemed. This is seriously an excellent review.
That's stupid. At least give us a decent preview around the single player component, including how they perform. Some people don't care about online, and others will be curious about technical performance too.

I don't follow Gamespot anymore but I believe I saw this female(everyone in comments typically made fun of her appearance, etc...) talking about the game with this dude a ways back and it was a very good listen.
If it's the same female, not surprised as she really seemed to find a lot to like about it back then.
I thought both of those people did a good job with their impressions.
Looks like his first contact with survival horror was RE4 or even RE5.

unless someone like Giantbomb or IGN agrees with GameSpot about ZombiU they might get some serious hate for this one the guy in the video did not convince me that he made any good points or even knew what Surval Horror was.
Supposed to be 1080p but from seeing it played and reading reviews, it might as well not be - you'll be interacting primarily on the gamepad

Edge's score should be rather interesting.

Normally I'd be concerned over the withholding of review copies, but Treyarch has indeed built a lot of good will with me for their treatment of previous CoD titles on Wii.
I'll be buying the title, and if it ends up with broken parts like the PS3 version, then I believe they'll do their best to patch immediately.
"Nifty".
Nice review. That's the first time I've seen the Donkey Kong inspired minigame. I know the reviewer states that it is not the best by any stretch of the imagination, it looks awesome.
Surely there must be a situation in the future where you want to play local multiplayer in a game that needs more than a dpad and two buttons (wiimote)? Or will developers just assume nobody has a pro and make everything dumbed down for wiimote controls?
I imagine thats gonna be the big issue with Nintendoland. As a package it looks fantastic but the foreveralone crowd are gonna hate it because some of the most fun to be had is with others

Not gonna hate it, but I'm not gonna buy it. Without online, it's worthless to me.

Nintendo first has to implement proper voicechat before they make games like this online.
Without that, it'd be really odd.

The only ones I can really think of are fighters. Maybe Mario Kart when that releases I suppose. I'll get it just to have it at least. I'm sure Tekken will get it's money's worth alone within a day once a buddy comes over. I'm not big on most multiplayer games though, so fighters get like 99% of my multiplayer time.
