To me that translated to "we don't give a crap about the story." Combine that with my other deal breaker of mute main characters that engage in one way dialogs. Granted the game was beautiful and did a nice job of producing scares as well as the type of environment you look for in a zombie game but beyond that it was shallow.

Just bought Deus Ex Human Revolution. Game looks very promising so far. Also looking forward to Uncharted 3 in November, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record in October, and the Metal Gear HD collection in Mid-November. Assasins Creed Revelation should also be solid.

Also haven't gotten around to Batman Arkham Asylum nor the upcoming Arkham City but everything I've read declares it's a hell of a game. Still always good to have rainy day games saved away seeing as how you only really get 4 or 5 good non-sport games a year.

If you have not played the Uncharted series yet you must do so, probaly one of the best video games I have ever played, especially number 2.
