Dead Nation

So for Sony's free game giveaway after their PSN down-age I chose "Dead Nation" as one of my games. The game is developed by Sony Europe, by Finnish studio "Housemarque" which has done a really excellent job of bringing the zombie genre to life. In some ways it reminds me of "Super Smash TV" and one of the more recent games on Steam "Alien Swarm" since it is a top down shooter. You get to kill mass loads of zombies and buy bigger and more deadlier weapons as the game progresses. The story line doesn't tend to drag on and has little comic book cut scenes similar to Infamous between each level you pass that tell the story. I would give the game a 4.5/5 mainly cause it does an excellent job of keeping the gamer satisfied for the first 3/4's of the game, then it becomes a tad repetitive when you stop earning new guns to test on the zombie populations. Overall an excellent game and I am glad I chose it as one of my 2 free games from Sony.

Free Sony PS3 Games Because of Network Outage

*Update* The games are now available for download, as Sony has finally started the welcome back program... Check it out http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/06/03/welcome-back/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=WelcomeBack_060311


So Sony is doing a free game giveaway to its customers because of the long network outage that occurred.
Games that are available are: Dead Nation, inFAMOUS, Stardust HD, Wipeout HD, and Little Big Planet...Personally if I didn't have any of these games I would take inFAMOUS and Little Big Planet since they are two of the better games to choose from...but since I have both already, I choose Dead Nation, and Stardust HD or Wipeout HD...still looking at them to decide which to choose. Stardust HD might have more multiplayer fun for my wife and I :)
