Braindead 13 -- Readysoft

Dr. Otto
Almost a year overdue, I found Braindead 13 to be worth the wait. Of course, this is a biased statement because I actually like FMV games and always have since Dragon's Lair hit the arcades back in 1983. I find it curious that after ReadySoft's less than stellar conversion of Space Ace, this in-house production is the best this genre has to offer. Braindead 13 offers top notch animation full of hyperkinetic action and humor, and sets higher interactivity standards than any of its toon predecessors. But as is usual with this type of game, once you've seen it, you've seen it, thus hampering replay value. But, I will say this... Braindead 13 is the first FMV game I didn't finish in one day... and that says a lot.
