I recommend you keep an eye open for this one. It promises to be
something very different.

It won't run on my PC. I'm very frustrated by the fact.

It keeps switching off my monitor and I was forced to switch the PC off
via the power button, something which resulted in me being forced to
reinstall my OS due to corrupted files/bad sectors.

GF4 ti4200. I don't think it's the card. I think it's the game itself. I
doubt very much that this game is not able to be handled by this puter.

It just sounded like a problem I remember ATI cards having.  Do you have
anti-aliasing forced on anywhere?  Stubbs the Zombie is based on the
Halo engine which can't be anti-aliased.   I have the demo and looking
at the readme, your card is not supported.   Looks like you need a
DirectX 9 compatible card.

I'm going to 'try' the full game, see if that makes any difference. By
the way, the reason the game screen goes black is 'cos it's trying to
play the game in a refresh rate of 240mhz

CNet.com rates it quite highly - just outside their 'top 10 games you
must have' list. Their review suggests that it's only 5 hours long tho.
Might try scouting around to see if I can find a cheap one.

From what I've read it's a very innovative game. Do a search and read
up, it's not just an excuse to run around and eat brains although
there's nothing wrong with that.

Right kids?

Played it and it was quite fun tbh with the farting and using your head as a
bowling ball lol.
Also the NPC voices made me laugh e.g. 'I can feel it... inside.... my brain
arghh' etc etc.

I'd think using a gamepad would be better as it was a bit fumbly trying to
find the correct buttons.

From the reviews the major downfall is the length of the game apparently,
but i think i'm gona invest anyway.

Thanks.
