I finished State of Decay a while ago and while I love the premise and some of the mechanics, the game just wasn't finished IMO. Recruiting survivors, scavenging for supplies and building your base were exceptional but the story was weak and got in the way of those great bits. That being said this is probably the best zombie game you can get (I don't count The Walking Dead as a game)
My First Impression of State of Decay on Xbox live Arcade

So I know I have a tendency to ramble on about games i like and thats nothing more then my love for our hobby and although im sure my picks in games are unique I do know a great game when I play it which brings me to my Xbox Live Arcade Game of choice for the year, and although im a huge fan of The Walking Dead with our dear Clementine this one although by no means perfect it is everything you would want in a Walking Dead series sim.
The Graphics are choppy at best the game has clipping and graphic issues but thats where it stops from then on out this is a fantastic game and surprises me that its an arcade title, and for a arcade title its huge this is very in depth and very unusual, the game has a fighting aspect thats clumsy but not bad and graphics thats not very impressive but what it lacks in polish it makes up for in fun.
If you have ever watched The Walking Dead the series on AMC then you probably wish for a game thats like the series, well wait no longer this is a awesome game it starts out with no story no idea what your doing or how to do it, you start out with your freind getting attacked by Zeds another name for zombies and you help defend him then your on your own now for the sake of learning tge hard way like I did remember these tips first off your characters can die and if they do there gone for good next be sneaky and quiet dont kill and fight everything you see weapons will wear out and break, guns are loud and will attract Zeds same with cars although they get you from a to b there loud and attract Zeds and next dont get bit cause if you do your character will turn eventually and will cause morale issues in your base.
There's alot of strategy and management in this game you have to keep up with morale, food, guns and ammo, you will have to make runs into town for supplies, medicine etc. You have to build additions like new sleeping quarters bigger fences etc all while making sure everyone is getting rest and are not causing morale issues an example if one of your people are having anger issues you take them out to a house full of zombies and let them go crazy attacking them to release there anger and also build there trust and once you befreind your people you can play as them and which is a good idea to play as all of them to ballance there traits, which brings me to the depth of the game.
Theres a trait tree in which you boost the skills of each of your people then theres a supply locker you have to keep full of medicine and food and weapon's the guns although helpful are more of an issue then a help unless you can find a suppressor for them as noise attracts Zombies, another helpful tip you need to know and thats that the game keeps going even when you are not playing the people keep doing there
daily activities so its important for you to keep everything up so morale and keeping everything tip top is essential.
This is one really cool game and probably one of the most expensive arcade games to date at $20 and worth every penny this is a game worth playing and a must play for any gamer so get it if you want a great game and itscon pc as well.
