Bonus Gamez: Zombies in Arizona?
Gamez is dedicated to those gaming deals that occasionally show up. Today, Steam and Amazon have deals. To aid you in the quest to filter the junk from the good stuff, games listed below have a 75% or above Metacritic rating and less than $20 per game. No opinions are ever made on the games listed.
Ranked
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin (PC, XBox 360, PS3, 2009) – 79%, Rank #589
$19.99
Genre: First-Person Shooter
ESRB: M (Mature)
Unranked
Nation Red (PC, 2009)
$6.99
Genre: Action, Horror
ESRB: Unrated (probably M (Mature))
If you were to buy both games today, it would cost roughly $26.98 or roughly $13.49 each and your brain would turn into squishy goodness.
Percentages and ranks come from Metacritic.com game scores. It isn’t a perfect system, but it is better than nothing.
Zombies? Arizona? What?
Now, what does this have to do with Arizona? Nation Red’s description implies the game is based in Arizona. I leave you with the following official description of the game:
August 17, 1977
Scattered groups of zombies infiltrate remote Midwestern towns. Incapable of using tools or weapons, the invaders are resisted until they retreat back into the desert. Special elimination posses are set up to hunt down any of the surviving undead. Six weeks after the squads started their search-and-destroy mission, the last known zombie was shot and killed.
Present-day
Over thirty years had passed when a truck driver traveling down a desolate Arizona road plows into a wall of undead. Before the driver’s phone signal went dead, he reported some were carrying guns. They’re back and now they are hunting us.

Kind of accidentally ran across the Nation Red deal on Steam and I don’t know if it is worth the price tag or not (no Metacritic rating) but they mention Arizona and zombies in the same sentence. That’s got to count for something right?
However, I’m pretty sure, based on the available screenshots, the whole “Arizona” thing is just an excuse to avoid having to draw textures. I don’t see any saguaro, cholla, palm trees, ragweed, or any other foliage (or landscape – where are the mountains?) that says “Arizona” based solely on the screenshots.
