    well it probably doesnt compare to how many times you accidentally sledgehammered or chainsawed them to death.

    Ah. Gotcha. Must have gotten confused with other Greatest Hits and $20 prices.

    Last generations games were $50 and then the greatest hits were $20.
    This generation's (Wii excluded) prices are $60 and $30.

    I did see Viva Pinata for $20, but I think that was more like a clearance price.

    I see me playing some more Dead Rising soon.
    I have the itch...

    I picked it up last week, and am currently going for the zombie genocide before I go for the Saint. I love the game...just wish Otis would stop calling me every two minutes and I could actually read what he and other people are telling me.

    ZOMBIE THREAD! Haha, this time it's appropriate.

    OMG I just got this game today because my housemate got a 360. Pretty awesome (I've played about 5 minutes... just saved some fat guy on the roof and his wife). Very unique so far.

    my only advice is to set way points for your followers. never let them follow you as they inevitably get caught on something dangerous like a pebble.

    I'll add to that...

    Equip your survivors with some sort of melee weapon. They have horrible aim so guns in their hands are usually useless.

    I found it it was one or two people hand guns worked fine, but when trying to escort 8 or more guns were useless. Then again, some melee weapons in their hands suck so I guess it's a crap shoot.

    i found giving them melee weapons made them more likely to hit each other/me. aslo giving them waypoints made them 'defend' that area fairly adequately. the biggest pain is when they get stuck on/around stairs and run around in circles.

    Just got my copy back from a buddy of mine, which made me remember that the survivors aren't exactly the brightest group of AI. Have the time I just say screw it and let them get eaten by zombies. Then kill their zombie corpses.
