Well I know that I have a distaste for zombie games at this point. Companies trying to shoehorn in motion controls into games that don't need them(Mass Effect with Kinect and Bioshock Infinite with Move) is really starting to get on my nerves. Retailer specific pre-order bonuses. I have to stop myself or this comment could get out of hand. Love the show, keep up the good work. P.S. What do I have to do to get a spot of the F 'Em list?
