PSI writes: "Monster Madness: Grave Danger is a spruced-up re-release of Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia, a game that wasn't well received when it was originally released on the Xbox 360. Although Grave Danger makes a few key adjustments, they aren't much of an improvement.
Grave Danger doesn't look great, but it has a great sense of style. Not every game needs to look like a Pixar movie, it just needs to have personality and a good design sense, and Grave Danger fits the bill. The entire game has a comic book sense of design that comes out during the comic book panels that tell the story. The voice acting is poor, but it kind of works with the game's sense of humor. Grave Danger manages to riff off everything from Star Trek to Homestar Runner and there's even a much appreciated Superman II reference. Not every joke is a home run, though you'll find something to laugh about."
Sadly, for a retail game it's a substandard repetitive game that should only be considered if at a bargain price or if you have 3 other friends willing to play with you. To give the game some credit, the slaughtering of near endless amounts of monsters is satisfying, almost nostalgic; offering a rose tinted reminder of simpler times. Not to mention the ample hours of gameplay, if your willing to put aside the annoyances.
Today, 2nd January 2009, is the ninth day of Christmas. It may seem like Christmas is all but over-and-done with now, but Electronic Theatre are staying true to tradition and heading-on through those infamous twelve days! On this ninth day, The Twelve Games of Christmas enters its ninth edition, and today we run through the top-performing disc-based releases of September 2008. Hold onto your hats, it's going to be bumpy from here-on out!

Here follows a tale of how I went through a whole gambit of emotions; from hopeful to desperate and then coming to the insight that all is not as it seems in suburban zombie hell..."
