Okay I know most of you will buy this game, but is there anyone who's not buying the game? For me , I love the concept, but there's just too much blood and horror and I don't really play M games, plus blood makes me Squamish. I watched the trailer for zombiu with the pictures only, I was fine when I watched it the first time, but the second time I nearly wanted to throw up. What made it even creepier was that it had the song god save the queen playing.

Don't get me wrong, I love the concept and all but I'm more centered around family friendly games. I have a little nephew who wants me to get it cause he thinks it's 'cool' I am not letting a 9 year old play a zombie game.

Plus I have a two year old goddaughter to think about so... Yeah...don't want to scare her. :)

ZombiU is definately not a game you want to play in front of your nephew or god-daughter. It looks interesting to me personally, but I don't have any kids and my wife saw the trailer and told me she wants to watch me play it, lol. I guess it looks like a good horror movie-like experience for her.

If I was in your situation, I would get Rayman Legends and New Super Mario Bros. U to start out. Both games are charming, but Rayman has the style and Mario has the polish. Project P-100 and Lego City:Undercover are games to pay attention to as well.

Just curious, what do you think of Assassin's Creed 3 and Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition?

I'm forced to play casual games. My mom won't let me play hardcore games even though I really want to because I'm thirteen. But I like ZombiU and I understand about your goddaughter and you being squemish. I'm sort of a ZombiU fanboy and I'm being nice here but again I like ZombiU. No offense though. Its a zombie game even though they're infected zombies are in awy still human which means they still have and the reason that there's so much is because like I said its a zombie game it needs those effects.

ZombiU looks fantastic and it definitely makes my list.

What I probably won't buy is multiformat games that have already been done elsewhere on other consoles previously or if it turns out the other console versions are superior. I already have a 360 and PS3. I'm really interested in the wii U because of Nintendo's own games which I love like Mario, Zelda etc. My wii collection is quite small, mainly first party Nintendo titles and not much else. I think Xenoblade Chronicles is about the only third party Nintendo title I have for wii currently. I had many wii titles previously which simply weren't worth keeping plus I rented many games and played them through quickly. I still have many Gamecube titles though.

Xenoblade isn't third party. Nintendo owns the company that made it.

Xenoblade is a first party title.

OT: While I'm excited for the game myself, I can understand your feelings toward it. I wouldn't get it either if i had a 9-year-old and 2-year-old to think about. Like someone else suggested, I'd go for a game like Mario, Rayman, or Lego City. Those would be much better choices for the younger kids.

If I were you maybe if there were a clean setting I would let a late TEN year old play it. Because it doesn't cuss or have blood. But that's unlikely in a zombie game.

I agree with you. I won't buy it because of all the gore (I'm 12 by the way, don't judge). I think the idea is really good but I have a sister who is 8 and isn't allowed to watch these sort of things. If it gets really good reviews, I might get it but I'll have to be careful playing it, though.

Hi, my name is Alph. I live on a planet named Koppai. I am famous for saving my planet from starvation. My best friends are Brittany and Captain Olimar, NOT Captain Charlie. I like surfing the KopNet and playing Kopetball.

I'm definitely getting it. After playing Resident Evil I found that I like the genre. Certain parts of the game nearly gave me a heart attack.

I'll be getting it, for me, it will depend on how popular it is and if it has online play to determine how much i'll actually play it.

I'll probably get ZombiU depending on what I hear about it and such. It sounds like a great game so far, but I can see how it's not for everyone. I've played violent/bloody video games since a young age though so I generally have a much higher tolerance for them.

1. it's fine if you don't like scary game.
2. yeah ratings are there as guidelines killing things isn't something i'd let a 9 year old play.
3. you don't have to play a game in front of your goddaughter.

I'm looking forward to it.
I wouldn't care about it but it's a third party actually trying hard on a nintendo console, so I have to see how that works out.
I'm kind of played out on zombie games.

Wow a responsible adult, that's great to see. A rare sight :)

Unfortunately we're all human and have a base instinct for violence, how we let it out healthily is the question. Myself I'm 26 going on 27, and find that either sex or videogames like Zombie U and GTA is a healthy psychological replacement for energetic/and or aggressive contact sports. Given that I only usually get to see my girlfriend once a week most of the time then videogames is the next option.

I want to get the batman game, never been a fan of assassin's creed though

There is a slim chance I might get it, but I would have to hide it for when my 9 year old nephew comes over. The thing is, he said he's played M rated games before, with my other nephew who is his cousin ( the cousin is 15 or 16 btw) and my brother just lets them play it... I just don't understand how my brother thinks letting a 9 and 16 year old play an M rated game is okay... I guess a16 year old understands it more then a 9 year old... But that still doesn't make it right

Honestly, if you said you weren't grossed out by gore, I'd say to just get the game and not play it around the twerps.

There is no need to get the game if you don't like it. And if your nephew disagrees tell him that he's too young for games like this. The kid needs to act his age.
