Bodycount for the win

I played the game briefly when the demo came out for the 360 and the game looked fun enough. Once it had been out for a while and the price dropped, I grabbed it for some zombie-killing fun. The controls are good enough, and the game has some good action and humor. Sadly, I don't have an LCD or Plasma tv, so the game isn't as good on my CRT. The developers did some mistakes with the text fonts, making it almost impossible to read the text in the game unless you have a big tv with good resolution. I haven't played through the game yet, but I dare say the game is somewhat hard.
You get to level up and access better equipment as you progress, and if you start over, the game will be easier every time. You have a big range of items and weapons to choose from, ranging from the standard knives and wooden poles, to absurd weapons like chainsaws and lawnmovers. This is by no means a bad game, but it's not much of a classic either. If you can grab it cheap, it will probably give you a few hours of great fun though.
