Way to reply in a coherent manner, as opposed to top-replying as a way to get your invaluable opinion in everyone's face.

This game is so much fun its ridiculous. I got it last night and ended up playing it for 5 hours and had no clue how fast time went by. Even my wife loves it. It's the best purchase I've made in a while. Get it ASAP.

It is pretty good, definitely worth the 10 bucks.

The only complaint I have with it, is how it's not dual-stick. It fires forward, or there's a button to lock on to the nearest zombie (you hold it, and it dynamically choses the closest)

But that's a minor complaint. It could easily be patched to give the option for dual-stick, but even if it's never patched for that, it's not that bad, the controls still work.

@ Hydrophobicfish

I thought that too until I began playing around. If you use the aim function and THEN move the right analog stick you can free aim rather than having it choose the closest or easiest target. It's a bit backwards but it works pretty well and is great for any auto weapon. Give it a try

@AmanteDuck

Yep, you know your burning zombies! I told a friend who had been playing the game a few weeks already about the R-Stick aiming over-ride and it blew his mind. Works like a charm...

"Burn Zombie Burn" is the best downloadable game I've played since "The Last Guy." So. Much. Fun.

If you have a PS3, you need to download this game. Period.

Nope, the Pixeljunk series doesn't do anything for me even in the least. None of them.

My favorite PSN games:

Flower
Flow
Burn Zombie Burn
The Last Guy
Echochrome
Lumines Supernova
SSF2HDTR
1942
Commando 3

It's nice to hear that Sony's idea for exclusivity worked out. It's better to hear that due to their investment, the game has to be quite good to get Sony's money, which will result in a growing library of bad-assery from PSN.

No demo, but if you have any idea of what this game is about and are at all interested in it, you won't regret the purchase. Unfortunately there is no online multiplayer, but that is the only feature missing. Trophies, offline multi, and plenty of challenge modes and the like are present and accounted for.

They could very well make even more money since im sure the market for this game is bigger on XBLA.

No its not, just like the majority of good titles this year. Get used to it and stop asking about "I guess this isn't coming either" or "they would make more money on xbrick". There is a reason people are choosing to develop on the PS3 lately, because while in the microsoft universe money is all that maters, however, a quality game is the larger focus in ours. I think sony's old saying applies well here. Live in your world (of money and greed), and we'll play in ours. :P

It really shouldn't be, but that was really satisfying :D

Thanks for the fanboy response Blkant.

All I was saying was that I would like to play the game, and that indeed there are far more American 360s than Ps3s, so the potential for more money is there.

And "quality" is mostly about tastes. 360 has lots of it, so does Ps3.

So in other words, Sony's price matching for developing and marketing?

...how is that not paying for an exclusive?

I think it's definitely fair to say that you PS3 fanboys can STFU about exclusive DLC on the 360 when you guys get WHOLE GAMES cause Sony wants to shell out the cash for them.

I personally never said Sony doesn't pay for exclusives, but I do think the main difference between them is; What Sony pays for is quality, and encourages new game designs/ideas.
Compared to Microsoft just chucking cash at anything to try and say it has more stuff.

So exclusive DLC for GTA IV isn't considered quality?

How about Braid? That was a 360/PC exclusive and it was a new idea.

I will admit, i'm jealous of Burn Zombie Burn and Warhawk, but really, what else is there?

Noby Noby Boy is an abstract idea more than it is a game.. so are Flower, PixelJunk Eden, and a couple others...

The difference - at least to me - is between putting your exclusivity money to work promoting unique and interesting games like BZB, Warhawk, LBP, Pixeljunk (all of them), etc. versus spending your money on trying to buy exclusivity for big name titles, or even worse DLC.

I don't know if MS paid for Braid exclusivity. If they did - then good for them, because that's exactly the kind of games you should help promote on your console. But buying 1 year exclusivity deals on eg Bioshock, or buying exclusive DLC for a game (like Fallout 3), is just pissing on the face of gamers waiting to play those games. I'm frankly most surprised that any company are dumb enough to take such a deal. It certainly assures my money isn't spent on their products - now or ever in the future.

But developing new and exiting titles and ideas - now that's an idea I can get behind no matter who does it. Then the money is actually well spent on giving the gaming community brilliant games we might not otherwise have gotten. Exclusivity is a fair return on that.
