Easiest way to make it work I think would be to incorporate some sort of "zombie bounty". In other words, as you kill players you somehow attract the attention of more zombies or more lethal zombies or something like that. Make it permanent and cumulative. If nothing else it would ensure...

I'll agree with Project Nevada and New Vegas Bounties. Project Nevada is fantastic with it's tweaks - hardcore mode gets a lot better with it. I would personally recommend disabling Cyberware though. While it's neat in concept, I found myself wishing to go back to the old style relatively...

I threw in $15. I never played the original WL but I liked the concept and wanted to encourage things like this. Wife rolled her eyes at me, but that's ok. I'm thinking of it as a donation with what's possibly an interesting game attached as a bonus. My donation may have been better served...

I'm better about it now than I used to be. Due to Steam I have quite the backlog of games. It's not terribly uncommon for me to drop a game for a while and then pick it up where I left off. Just last night I finished Portal 2 after a 2 month hiatus. Got stuck on a puzzle at the end of...

Riley's Rangers kept me up on an all-night marathon. From the time I picked up the emergency signal to the time I actually made it to the end I felt a sense of urgency. The ending and rewards were both perfect as well. It was just a really tight, well-done quest. Wasteland Survival Guide...

The original Silent Hill - going through the hospital was intense as hell and one of the most tense experiences I'd ever experienced. Then I found out the hospital had a basement. Had to turn off the game and psyche myself up for 20 minutes to move on.

Two-player co-op and four-player co-op are different beasts. Sadly, both seem to be on the decline. Fun Two-Player co-op I've sunk time into: Army of Two (Original and the sequel, the name of which escapes me) Dead Nation (PSN game that they gave out free due to the network outage)...

62, more or less. Some of the titles sounded familiar but I couldn't be sure on so didn't count, but I also counted the "series" as one entity. Lots of good stuff on there. I think it's important to note that a lot of those games were pioneers in a gameplay mechanic/style. Dune 2 comes to...

Until something comparable comes out that can compete with the massive worlds that Bethesda/Oblivion provides, I don't see their sales faltering. They're one of the very few game companies that make a product worth the $60 price tag. 100+ hours? Yes please! The bugs exist, but for the...

It's fine. The PC version patches the annoying stuff (For instance, it upped the weapon limit). That said, did end up deleting it for space on the HD before actually beating it.

I don't so much "come back again and again" to it, but I couldn't put Alpha Protocol down when I got it. After devouring it in a weekend (a monumental feat nowadays), I was started poking around online to learn about how much replay value it had and was astonished to find the reviews trended...

Got to level 56. Figure I've done about 1/2 of the main quests or so, maybe a bit less. Got pissed off getting one-shotted by some Deathlord shout and turned it off. Started Portal 2 and have almost finished it - very much enjoying the break. Will get back into Skyrim, probably when the...

I wanted to like the game, but the 5 minute load times pretty much killed it for me.

Jagged Alliance 2 *might* fit the bill. It's not based in a post-apoc exactly, but rather a war ravaged country. You start with a very modest amount of funds and need to hire a team to spearhead an insurgency. A lot of the game centers around scavenging equipment (there's NEVER enough - you...

If you haven't played it, it's hard to explain. It's a beautiful game (mostly) that scratches the exploration itch. The setting is fairly unique and the mechanics work (although if they added a little more "oomph" to a hit, I'd probably have lost my job and gained 50 lbs 'cause I'd never stop...
