I've got to say, after reading a really positive review at Joystiq, I'm back to wanting to play ZombiU again.

(excerpt) "In the end, it's the atmosphere of ZombiU that sticks with you. With your life hanging by a thread at any given moment, it demands keen, breath-held focus. You can feel it when your survivors' voices shake as they split the skull of an undead, in their panicked panting as they sprint from danger. There's no one to help you, no respawns. It's just you, a pack full of supplies (if you're lucky) and the horde. You develop your own rules, a code that will ensure your survival. Don't shoot first. Assess the situation. Know your exit. Live." http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/19/zombiu-review/

You can tell the reviewer really enjoyed the experience. He made it sound very tense and very immersive. While I'm still not thrilled that it's mostly repetitive melee combat, the atmosphere seems to be of a type that is rare in the console games of today.
