Stubbs the Zombie

[DwarvenFood]

So.. I was wondering about the Codex experiences with this game - it seems not that well known as one would imagine.

The possibility to detach your hand and use it separately of the body was quite original and actually playing as a zombie, instead of killing zombies as the only human left.

Please, share experiences with this little gem (or was it utter shit ? no I do not agree)

I played it for a while about two years back or so. It was okay, pretty cool ideas, very linear though. Challenging at parts, and you have some interesting abilities to use as weapons.

Overall it's an okay action game, but I didn't finish it. Gets repetitive after a while, as far as I remember, mostly due to corridor-like levels, which is probably why I stopped. Might be worth a torrent, though, it was pretty interesting in the beginning and the humour's not too bad.

Only thing I remember is authors of cutscenes obsession about Boobs.

The fucking thing doesn't work on Win7.

Always wanted to try it but thought it was console only like that game were you play teh aliens and kill humans.
Turns out Stubbs is on PC and I did archive it on my external and its on my to-try list, a very big list...

I remember playing it around the release - so roughly 6 years ago. Except the soundtrack and that it was generally fun I can't recall much else about the game.
But the idea itself is original and the humorous approach worked well as far as I remember.
Worth acquiring I'd say.

Agree with all of this. I did finish it though.

I recommend piracy - it is a fun little game and well worth spending the 6 hours or so it'll take you to finish it.

I played through on the original Xbawx and had a pretty good time. Later bought it on Steam and tried to launch it and

Not a bad game by any stretch, but does suffer from being repetitive as anythin'. Fun watching your little zombies go on a spree.

Good for a playthrough and maybe a pick-up once in a while just to watch zombies be zombies.

The ideas were far better than the execution.
Still it was p good for a console game.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Picked it up for a song some years after its release. It's a Halo clone with a few new additions, but nothing more than that.

The humour, however, is what redeems this game. Just lurking somewhere and listening to two security guards shooting the breeze can be hilarious. Also some of the phrases when people are being attacked by zombies, like "It's eating my braaaaiiiinnn!" will make you smile.

Not a good game, but it's fun to play at least once.

I played the demo and even my cousin who was watching me play the game agreed, the game was boring, it sucked, it was balls, it was shit, it was crap, it was ass-juice... etc. etc.


PS: it wasn't funny. Maybe if you are brain-dead, you would find it funny.

I played and finished it around release, it was pretty fun. Don't recall any of it though.

It's made by Alex Seropian, co-founder of Bungie who left to make awful Mac games around when Halo 4329 was being made.
