Dear Rising remaster is now on steam. As well as another Xbox 360 title: Lollipop Chainsaw - in it you also fight lots of zombies, but it is much more cartoony, and you play a high school cheerleader (of San Romero High, subtle :P ) in tiny skirt fighting the hordes. It was a collaboration of James Gunn (story; Tromeo and Juliet, Slithers, PG Porn, Guardians of the Galaxy) and Suda 51 (Killer7, No More Heroes etc.).

I found the first one too depressing that it was one of my rare steam refunds. :blush:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Yeah I completed the first one exactly once, was too exhausting to ever want to reattempt.

The second game is releasing on Game Pass so might as well check it out I guess.

Speaking of which, this Civ-like game, Ara, I think it is, is also coming to Game Pass on Tuesday as a day one release. Should I be excited?

I really liked it. I remember my heating wasn't working either so it was very atmospheric. But yes. Stressful.
But ll play 2 someday. Not rushing out for it.

I had to look it up.
Only to find the first one is in my Steam library.

I may have a problem.
