Review this game
Nov 26, 2014This review is after playing the game on the NEW HARDCORE SERVERS/GAME MODE
The game right now is absolutely brilliant, you find weapons(with a few bullets) and stuff everywhere, fps at least for me have increased, you wont find groups of 10 people laughfing at you in this servers cause you literaly cant make groups (sure people will still play together but it helps), zombies look diferent from each other and are an actual threat if you dont take them serious, no thirdperson view makes it even more inmersive, 0 lag, and it seems there are no hackers.
Plz buy this game or reinstall it you wont regret it, the game really deserves a second chance.… Expand
Nov 18, 2014You know what really inspires faith in the quality of a video game? When its creators have to re-brand it completely in order to escape from the reputation it built up. Think about it. They want you to mistake this for a different game from The War Z entirely. What does that tell you? Everything you need to know.
Nov 4, 2014Worst game ever; pay to win, copy of Dayz, devs that ban players that ask for refunds or complain, and BUGS EVERYWHERE. Dayz in alpha is better than this piece of crap. I cannot believe this game is still
shown as having mixed reviews on steam, do people not know a bad game when they see it? If possible I would rate this game a -10
Nov 3, 2014Don't buy this game. No. Never ever. Even if you see it on sale for like a buck, or even like 50 cents or something... NO! DO NOT! That money can go towards helping a starving child or some sh#t like that, hell maybe even towards a game that deserves that kind of money! Wait, did I just mix up my priorities? Eh, I'm sure it's nothing... Pros: *Makes for a good present if you want to breakup with someone
*Makes for a good present if you really want to breakup with someone
*Look by this point if you're going to buy it for someone, you must really dislike them because you're essentially spending your hard earned money on something you can do for free, like for instance: Take a sh#t in a paper bag and say it's an offering of what you think of your relationship with them.
*If you ever go on Metacritic, there's like 600 or so positive reviews, and you just have to wonder, how was someone this stupid to rate it high in the first place... then you read the reviews... and you immediately want to never go to Metacritic ever again...
*aaaaaaaaaaaand that's about it... I'm sure there's one guy that will say "aefujhkhl but therz thingz it duz betta then Day Z"... f@#k em...
*Yeah... not going to list the plethora of cons... I have a life to live
Overall score... a F@#kNo/10… Expand
Nov 2, 2014Do not, buy this game! Biggest regret I've made in the gaming industry. I got ripped off $30 for the pre-order! Most of the features that were promised were not made, and the system of the game was literally ripped out of a free-to-play game known as "War Inc." The game was so notorious, the developers changed the name of the game from "WarZ", to "I:SS". The game has so many bugs, hackers, and a horrible anti-hack system. Heck, they would ban random people for no valid reason. Before it was released, it looked like it had potential. Now it's just a "worse than a f2p" game that swindled me out of 30 bucks.… Expand
Oct 28, 2014This is one of the best games I have ever played, it can be boring you u play alone for a long time, or not.
You should buy this game, Infestation is been better than dayz sa in my opinion, But DayZ sa is still in alpha
Oct 24, 2014If you've ever wanted to feel the sensation of shoving glass shards up your ass, then this game is for you! Seriously though, the game's not finished, hell why am I calling it a game, it barely functions as one! It was made by one of the worst developers of all time: Hammerpoint interactive, and do you want to know their previous title? Well, it's Big Rigs: Over the road racing, one of the worst PC games of all time. Now let that sink in.… Expand
Oct 15, 2014This game is horrible and the developer is a crook. I started playing this game in it's Beta stage and it had a lot of bugs then, but once the game was released it was an entirely different game, and I mean for the worse.
First off, the game had nothing to stop cheaters from using aimbot, esp and all of that stuff, so you primarily only played in games with a couple of people or empty so you could at least enjoy the game without being killed by a cheater. This only got worse over time, and I quit about the time they implemented that fairplay, because the developer kept on with lies. The servers were supposed to be priced reasonable, or at least that's what he said, something around $20 a month, but when they actually allowed you to rent servers, it was $60+ a month, and even more for a password protected server.
So what people started doing is renting slots out and you paid them with the in-game stuff or the currency that you could shop with(I don't remember what it's called). That was the only way to actually play a decent game without having to worry about cheaters.
Then what killed the game the most is the developer kept messing with the loot spawns, zombie spawns and all of that and it just got tiring. You would of honestly never expected the game to be such crap after looking so promising.
I wouldn't give this game to somebody for free. If you want a zombie game, play Day Z or wait for H1Z1(though it keeps getting pushed back).… Expand
Oct 14, 2014This game is horrible! Wow...do not buy this game! You've been warned. It is filled with hackers and cheaters. This game is not survival game at all, this is a run-n-shoot fps for cheaters and hackers. And, it is a pay-to-win game..if you are rich you can win if no cheaters playing with you...you will get killed on sight every time you join a server by campers and cheaters. Played it and uninstalled it. Wasted my time and money...oh well.… Expand
Oct 11, 2014Worst game ever. The developer should pay us for even trying it out. No support, free to hack, basically nothing good has come out of this game, and properly never will. Game developers bans people for "free speech", but not hackers, for ruining the game even more.
Oct 5, 2014This game is pretty good, I'm not joking, at first, I thought it was bad, but I see that is was worth the 3 bucks. It's just addicting to get more xp to get more skills, get more gear, and more cash. The game world is large to me, so I give the game credit for that. I don't know why people don't change their reviews here, they were made in 2012, today in 2014, there were several big updates that added more features and fixes. I don't see any bugs and glitches, only that melee combat does get awkward sometimes, and an occasional lag. Graphics, I must admit, are not so good. I have a strong laptop with a powerful graphics chip, but the game lag a little on medium setting, while on high graphics setting, it lags a lot. Although, to me, it doesn't matter how the graphics look like, this game is fun, zombies should be better designed though. Thank you. :)… Expand
Oct 3, 2014O jogo no alpha foi muito bom ,depois vieram os hackers e estragaram o jogo,com isso eles puseram um novo anticheat melhorando um pouco passou algum tempo o jogo ficou R$2,50 encheu de hacker e o aticheat não estava servindo para nada eles tiraram ele e puseram o jogo a R$48,00 com um aticheat um pouco fraco.Conclusão o jogo no ano passado e no começo desse ano foi muito ruim mas depois que eles aumentaram o preço os hackers sumiram e ele ficou uma delícia para jogar.… Expand
Oct 3, 2014This game should definatley be in the free-to-play section of steam as it has micro-transactions in it and is in an alpha stage (although said to be the full game in the description with plenty of features that aren't even present in the current build). Item bought in the marketplace with real cash are not permanent and will be lost immediately upon death - which happens often considering this is a zombie survival game. With all of that in mind, I advise you to hold onto your cash and either wait for the complete game or the standalone Day Z.… Expand
Sep 29, 2014One thing to mention first and foremost is that this game saw a previous release on steam under a different name, which was booed of steam.
This is a game that lies to you upfront, a game that is full of meaningless in game transaction with real money. This game does so many things wrong, has so many flaws ,sub par graphics,and just terrible features. Besides the fact this is a clear rip off, of the hit DayZ, this game clearly cares little for gamers. The game has horrid controls, terrible game play, boring open world, and more bugs then you can shake a stick at. The game play consists of running around the world trying to kill zombies, but zombies almost never kill you, the other players rdm'ing do. The world is a lie, its smaller than they said and there is only one. This game is steaming pile of bugs and just overall terrible game feel. do not buy this game, you cannot support this kind of blatant cash in. If this game had a free to play model and removed the stupid in game purchase, or at least made them meaningful and if Hammerpoint interactive loses the give us money mentality they may stand a chance. But for now kill this game before it can breed more like it!… Expand
Sep 21, 2014I don't like this game.It's too expensive and this game is DayZ copy and they very very use your display card and your CPU.I don't know why it so lag.I play the other game like BF3 I didn't even lag.But when I play this game it's so lag even I change the graphic to low.It's very bad game that I have play ever.
Sep 12, 2014I have played since day 1 alpha and experienced the ups downs of the game it is not for the soft core player, only the hardcore competitive get up again spit in your face don't give a $^&* PLAYER. Funnest Competitive tactical shooter I have ever played, most satisfying loot system (Killing Other Players). As a survivor game its all about surviving other players not the world. Some bugs make people hate it, game breaking ones are always fixed.
Hackers ruin the game make it unplayable without them i would need no other game.
Pros Awesome loot system, Tactical team driven survival against players. spawn near death, a lot of armors,Weapons, bullet drop, vehicles, global inventory, die in a few shots.
Cons Hackers, minor bugs,content takes a long long long time to come out, Hackers, developer doesn't care about customers, Hackers. Private server so people can farm without risk store without risk. Hackers, Personal lockers to store some items in can be set down anywhere so you can hide loot if someone comes for you.… Expand
Sep 6, 2014If you support this game, you support Sergey Titov. Sergey is friends with the top ISS item and hack seller, as he was busted partying with at E3. If you still decide that is not enough, they have not delivered on any promises made. No hardcore mode Bandits can still access safezones No bandit only safezones are just some examples. Bigest scam part of this game was the removal of PunkBuster. PunkBuster was banning players Sergey did not want banned. The only resolution to this was to remove PunkBuster.
Instead they now only ban players they want. Including players who have never hacked on any account.… Expand
Aug 28, 2014This Game is a waste of time Playing you run around for hours city's and towns are to far apart and other players KOS kill on Sight. Don't buy It Wait for Updates to Rust or HZ1

Aug 6, 2014I'm still not sure what I saw in this game the first time I saw it... I keep asking myself "Why the **** did I buy this **** And I'm sure that's what you'll ask yourself when you play this monstrosity of a game. The only reason it exists is to piggyback off of DayZ's success. So for your sake don't buy this... It's complete garbage. -_-
Aug 6, 2014I didn't review this game. Never played it, but somehow it shows up that I reviewed it as a zero. So in fairness I will score it a 2, which is apparently higher than it deserves . I don't know how to remove review scores from my list.
Jul 31, 2014The "worst" game ever made. It's even worse than Superman 64 or E.T on Atari 2600. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Do not play this game. You can't even call it a "game". It's an insult to the humanity.
Jul 20, 2014this game is worst ever, they have no control of cheater, they lie for the users and explore them all can we do some for destroy this game ? hate this guys;
Jul 11, 2014It had potential. Unfortunately Hammerpoint never listened to their fan base and milked what they could from micro transactions without fixing the issues they should've focused on.
Jun 24, 2014the game is funny to play!! you should buy it! the first time i spawned in,i was like "this game is not that bad" and it became one of my fav :D the PVP is extremely fun to do. and YES i know the devs are the worst ever,but the game is becoming better. ALOT of the reviewers here are dayZ fans,not even warZ players,i mean what the hell are you guys doing here!? i have almost 1 year experience,bought several times premium and hosted servers,the game is getting better
and better in my eyes!
the controls are good and way better than DayZ.(almost minecraft controls)
textures are not the best but the landscape is classy and well made.
pros:community(players),pvp,controls,bugs,glitches,looting,screaming kids,strongholds,clans,etc
cons:engine,almost pay to win (armor is available in shop),aim bug,scandal,hackers,bugs,glitches,anti-cheat
the glitches and bugs can be funny and they are not crashing your game.
one of them does called 'black screen glitch' this will appear if you use alt+tab or ctrl+alt+del !!!
!!WARNING!! this game is not funny to play solo,play with friends :D… Expand
Jun 23, 2014Steaming pile of you know what, and made by lying scum. It tries to rip you off by cheating you of your time and money. This game scams you of your money, and you are much better off playing something else... anything else.
Jun 12, 2014This game is absolutely horrendous. The game is absolutely full of hackers who can purchase stolen or sold accounts for less than 2$ so they will never go away. I strongly advise anyone to stay away from this game. It's not even bad to the point of being able to laugh it's so bad it's actually frustrating to think anyone could have possibly releasing a game in the state that it's in. In the 2-3 years the game has been out not a single thing has changed besides the addition of vehicles (which were promised 2 months after the game launched) and the constant changing of loot tables to squeeze as much money out of it's community as possible.… Expand
Jun 9, 2014Good game, but **** game at the same time. This game has the potential to be a good game a lot of good items in games, good map, and like the concept. However it has more negatives the positives. poor melee animations is one, running looks weird, then we have 9/10 people hacking and the game is buggy and the community is utter crap in general
May 29, 2014I realize that a lot of people don't like this game because they think it's a "Rip-off", I can understand that. However, I believe this is just as good, if not better than Dayz for quite a few reasons. Also note, this only relates to the standalone version, not the Mod.
I played Dayz for quite sometime, and I found myself becoming totally bored with the same process; Spawn, go through houses, find almost nothing rewarding, run into a character that has been server hopping for hours, Die, Spawn, Go through houses, Zombies run straight through wall, Die. I never felt rewarded for what felt like an eternity. So I figured I'd give a new game a try. That's when I ran into Infestation.… Expand

May 28, 2014Hold W for 10 Minutes or so, find zombie, hit the Zombie in the head with a Flashlight until dead, get killed by Glitches and Bugs
Rinse and Repeat until your soul dies
May 25, 2014I bought this game early in beta, really had a lot of fun with one of my friend, we expected it to be a rip off of DayZ which it was, but due to Dayz at the time was still just a mod, and this looked like it was going to be properly managed standalone game, like league of legends.
But going into the game, there already was signs of a rushed, put together project, especially in the forums where nothing seemed professional.
I am certain that this game has done its cash grab purposes and will fade away about 4 months ago, wouldn't be surprised if the servers get shut down in a year, or go to F2P, don't buy this game. similar games are out there and are continue to come out, each with its unique spin, wait till one becomes the crowd favourite and go for that one.… Expand
May 20, 2014I like how they tricked me into buying it again by RE-naming it and putting it on steam with a different trailer.
I should have got my money back for that stunt.
game is a total piece of crap , probs the worst game I have ever played in a good few years,
and its a total shameless rip off done in the worst way possible.
May 11, 2014The game is not that bad.Bugs are fixed,new anti-hacks are coming and developers still put new things in the game and we will make 2 years of infestation.Looks like they will not abandon the game.
Apr 27, 2014This Game is Crap! Good potential but the maker of this game dont do anything good!!!!!
WASTE OF MONEY GUARANTEE! Trust me!
So many hackers on this game and developper dont do nothing about it.
It make one year they promise us cars and other **** and never happen at all
Apr 25, 2014I bought the game when in came out in 2012 and tried to play it until mid 2013. At that time, in became obvious this was a huge scam and the company just wanted money.
If you like a game, that could not be a big deal, but when the game mechanic is "you die, you loose everything", hacking become a major issue. They never solved it.
Now, the game price is so low that hacker can buy 2 accounts for 5 to 10 dollars (depend on discount). One legit account for storing stuff, one hacking account for "fun".
As a legit player, you have not a single chance to have fun in this game.
Stay away from that "game" and that company.… Expand
Apr 20, 2014Worst Video Game ever, it needs to be buried in Alamogordo, New Mexico with "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial"
0/10 Because this game blows chunks waste of my money and it was only $7.99 and I still felt ripped off.
Apr 19, 2014This game is full of lies and is broken in every way possible. DO NOT BUY!
Even if you do get past the lies and brokenness then all there is to do it horde 100's of guns (which you can buy ammo for.)
As I said earlier do not buy this broken pile of lies.
Apr 17, 2014As a professional player with 9999 hours in this game, I would say this is the king of all games existing in the galaxy. The developers are indeed one of the most talented teams, if not the best, that ever existed in this universe.
How come this astonishing achievement being swallowed by a sea of negative scores? Why don't you guys just face the truth, and accept that this game is the master of all games? It is your fate to spread the glory message of how great this game is to the mankind.
All hail to the glory of old day WarZ, the absolute power over all games in the world.… Expand
Apr 15, 2014I bought this game because I thought it would be really good due to it's plot, I guess I was COMPLETELY wrong. It doesn't ever work and the game is that bad that I've only played at least 2 hours of it before it started braking with error reports. Awful game, never buy it, never waste your money on this rubbish.
Apr 14, 2014Don't fall for this money grabbing trap. Don't even waste time reading the reviews! Leave while you still can! You've gone far enough already! Don't play this game! Or even think about it! The developers of this game should all be fired and sentenced to life imprisonment and their forums shut down! All they want you to do is to buy the game and then spend money in the market or buying private server. This game is absolute garbage! It stinks!… Expand
Apr 9, 2014I think it is real funny how every positive review is a 9 or a 10, seems like score fixing, this game is a failure, yeah, play it for a few hours, then just like you had the need to find a new game and are thinking about this you will be looking for a new game again, just get a successful Zombie game, this copied DayZ by using WarZ then they had to change it do to legal action by you know who DayZ, it came off Steam at score 33 now it is back on with score of 20 and declining further as more people waste there $5, yes it was $15 now it is $5, see how desperate they are? The servers are either empty or with a small group of friends, and hackers are there still this game does not use VAC or PB nothing, also you have micro transactions, yeah buy some extra bullets, **** stupid.… Expand
Apr 5, 2014This game is all pvp. You need a harvesting tool to get wood and stone. You need to get recipes to craft anything. A server costs about 20 dollars a week. I still cant find food and water. The game servers you have very little customization. You can get in infected with all types of parasites and the zombie virus. The good The nights re very dark. the zombies are great the terrain is great very good graphics.… Expand
Apr 3, 2014A ripoff and a scam. Do not purchase this product. If you feel like "Eh, the meta critic reviews aren't everything, maybe it's a troll" Just, don't listen to your inner self and don't even give them even the 5$ sale price. If you want a game that's more fast paced than DayZ with the same general feel, grab Nether. But in the end, Day Z is the game to get for this genre.
Mar 22, 2014I think that it's better than DayZ (mod and standalone) in nearly every way. Much better value at least. There are still alot of things left to do so I won't give higher than 8 for now. Please ignore alot of the negative reviews because this was mainly when the game was first released and it wasn't well tested along with problems that the devs caused to try and get on top of the competition. Also alot of people don't like games with in game purchases which is another reason for the bad reviews.… Expand
Mar 19, 2014There is a reason there is a -90% promo on this game at the moment and this reason should not make you buy this game. I made the mistake do not repeat it.
Mar 17, 2014Poorly made rip-off of DayZ. The developers openly lied on the Steam store. In addition, they felt it necessary to have in-game purchases even though the game is already a rip-off.
This is the only game on Steam that Valve has ever openly handed out refunds for. Think about that.
Mar 17, 2014WOOOOOW ich habe 15 Euro für diese §$%§$% gezahlt ich schäme mich das ich es einen freund empfolen habe und er es sich gekauft hat ! es tut mir leide so ein Spiel würde ich nicht mal meinen schlimmsten feind Empfehlen. zur zeit kostet es 1.50€ bei Steam und es ist es echt nicht wert !

Mar 15, 2014Infestation is a good game, but it's a copy off dayz and there are so much hackers and bugs. If this game had any differential of dayz I even recommend ...
Mar 13, 2014My original review of this title when it was known as "The WarZ" was incredibly generous, but now I see this game for what it is, a scam. It places you in an unattractive glitchy world full of terrible zombie animations, ugly textures and unused space. The game runs awful and their coders have no clue what they're doing. They are constantly changing the game, in bad ways. Loot has never been stable. It's either out of control and you're being flooded with finding chemlights at every spawn or you're finding nothing. Hammerpoint is constantly finding ways to get their players to spend money. You can buy items in the marketplace, buy your own private server to avoid dying against players and buy premium which allows you to only have a hope at finding something of better value at a spawn point. The lead guy behind the title released a forum post saying that if people didn't buy from the marketplace the game would eventually have to go offline. They even included a hotkey that opens the shop in-game for you to buy items and have them instantly (which has now been removed with the latest patch). If you're looking for a "survival" game, this isn't it. Infestation: Survivor Sandwiches (Kappa) is nothing but a money grab and is ran by a shady company that has no interest in making a quality title, but instead snagging as much money as they can while they kill off the game. I feel like I'm being generous with this again, but my score is definitely changing. Please, if you're looking for a survival game avoid this piece of trash at all costs.… Expand
Mar 11, 2014Please guys Dont buy this game or you will regret about!
This game is a complete ****
The devs are taotally corupted
Feb 24, 2014Graphics are great, game-play is smooth, but gold coins are required to re-spawn from dieing. The only way to get gold coins is to get some when killing zombies that I've never seen on the game only other online players or purchasing gold coins. The gold coins purchase part sucks I shouldn't have to spend more money on a game after I've already paid for it. I paid $7.99 for the game when it was on sale. If they got rid of the gold coin part of the game I would play all the time.… Expand
Feb 24, 2014Отвратительная игра. Графика и физика года 2001-2002. Хотя, последнее и вовсе прошлого тысячелетия. Хуже этой игры вы вряд ли что-то найдете, даже симулятор стройки от немцев вам покажется эталоном игропрома. Одни лишь обещания, море вранья, отвратительное отношение к пользователям и многое-многое другое, вы найдете в этой игре. Спасибо.
Feb 21, 2014I bought this game when it first came out to gain access to the early alpha. Since then many things... happened. I experienced that there were no remarkable changes for the better compared to what got worse or stayed the same. + zombie apocalypse + realistic thirst/hunger system - paying for a game shouldn't include "real money items" - forged ad pictures (still!) - endless development without significant changes
- almost everytime fails at atmosphere and depth in gaming
- still many hackers
- frustrating loot system
And the list is ongoing. I am not sure if it even deserves 2/10 :… Expand
Feb 19, 2014Lets start with this, I bought this game for 25$ in alpha to play. There were a lot of parts missing in the beginning but in the last year and a half they have consistently updated on a regular basis with 90% positive execution. If you don't like hard core, high risk PvP don't play. everyone says its pay to win, that's just not true, I have never spent a penny in that game and I have more gear and kills then most people who payed money to get stuff from the store, everything in the store can be found and traded. It is not as buggy as people say. I maybe get one bug a week that I come across. Over all the best updates have been in the last month, after a rough start this game has a ways to get back to where it should be but they are working in the right direction. The game costs 3.75$ on sale, if that's a rip off for a game that has some very redeeming qualities then you probably shouldn't be reviewing the game. I do believe there are even trial servers for the game. The game is fun, its hard, its frustrating, and its rewarding. This is a challenging game not a walk in the park, I recommend at least checking it out on sale.… Expand
Feb 18, 2014This game has only 1 fun thing about it and that's killing zombies. The zombies are a bit of a challenge too. Other then that it seems to be a HUGE rip off. There are lots of hackers, and to get around the hackers you can rent a private server. Once you rent the server which comes to $33 a month, you find out you have very few admin rights, in fact kicking players is about all you can do. You also rent the servers from the very company that makes the game. In order to use guns in the game you need ammo. That is not a bad thing right? Well in this game you have to buy the ammo from the cash shop, you can buy the ammo in small amounts using the ingame money but you soon realize that it costs a ton of ingame money to buy the ammo and the amount you buy is very small and really small and rather useless. The only way to get any real supply of ammo is using Gold credits purchased with real money. There is crafting in this game, but once again you need to use real money to purchase recipes. You cannot even build your own base. Overall DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME!!!… Expand
Feb 15, 2014A total rip off cash in, avoid at all costs. I gave this game the benefit of the doubt but in the end its all about maximising profit whilst giving the player a very simple and boring experience. Im surprised its not made by EA.

en realidad no se a que se debe tanta critica a este juego, si bien lo compre hace poco ( hace 1 mes y un par de días mas) encuentro que el juego cumple con las expectativas que puede brindar un juego como este, una Jugabilidad bastante buena ( no es perfecta pero es mas buena que mala), tiene una ambientación que te mete bastante el juego, los efectos de sonido están bastante bien pasando por las armas hasta el sonido del ambiente (pisadas, animales, etc), aunque no me gusta hacer comparaciones, en muchos aspectos infestation es mejor que dayz, la "inteligencia artificial" de los zombis, el combate, las armas y uno que otros detalles como el cansancio que sufre nuestro personaje al correr por un tiempo prolongado (los que hallan jugado dayz sabrán que el personaje no se cansa de correr, quizás todas las criticas malas son basadas en las promesas que dieron los desarrolladores del juego como los vehículos, pero hey ya los estan añadiendo, de apoco el juego esta siendo lo que prometia ser mas vale tarde que nunca, tambien eh visto que muchos tienen problemas con los hackers, yo personalmente nunca me eh topado uno y debo decir que lo juego muchísimo.
en conclusión, es un buen juego que cumplió las expectativas con las que lo compre, puede que mi comentario sea un poco chupa bolas, pero nadie resalta las cosas buenas del juego.
not really it should be so critical of this game , although I bought recently (1 month and a day or more ago) I find that the game meets expectations that can provide a game like this , one Gameplay enough good (not perfect but it's more good than bad ) , has an atmosphere that gets you quite the game, the sound effects are pretty good passing weapons to ambient noise ( footsteps , animals, etc) , but not me like comparisons in many ways is better than dayz infestation , "artificial intelligence " zombies , combat , weapons and one other details like our character suffered exhaustion while running for a long time ( which are played dayz know that the character does not get tired of running, maybe all the bad reviews are based on promises that gave the game developers as the vehicles, but hey and are adding by little the game is still what promised to be more okay late than never, eh also seen that many have problems with hackers , I personally never met one eh me and I must say that I play a lot.
In conclusion , it is a good game that met expectations with which to buy it, maybe my comment was a little lame balls, but no one highlight the good things of the game.… Expand
Feb 8, 2014This is the worst game to be ever created.
u will get perma baned, for no reason.
u will get hacked.
u will lose money u spend.
They will make u rebuy it if u get baned.
should be sued and taken off steam.
Feb 6, 2014Id rather drag my balls across a thousand miles of glass .................................................................................. ...........
Jan 31, 2014This game is useless. It is by far the most overprized piece of crap ever launched on Steam. I want my money back. This is a pure ripoff of the actually interresting DayZ. Developer claims things like they were first and what not which is totally wrong. Also people are getting banned from the official forums if they post critisism.
Jan 28, 2014I was tempted into buying a game of relatively new genre. I liked the idea of game being based on relatively realistic survival, developers at that point promised that it will never become pay 2 win kind of game. So i decided to give full version a try.
What i got:
1) Game is still in beta, lots of bugs, glitches and all sorts of uncalculated stupidities.
2) Cheaters. Even in the full(paid) version of the game. It tells you about how much devs are "working" on fixing the issue.
3) At some point couple weeks ago, devs introduced a new feature - access to marketplace at any point of the map with a click of single button(previously you could do it only on the safezones - 4 of them on the huge map):
Sratving to death? - No problem, press F10
Bleeding to death? - No problem, F10
Blood toxication? - No problem, F10
Out of ammo in a fight? F10
Need extra meds in a fight? F10
Survival aspect is gone.
Basically you'd be spending ingame money faster than you'd be earning it killing zombies if you're playing actively and after a few weeks at most, 99% of players will end up in a situation where they don't have enough ingame currency to utilize that marketplace, which leaves everyone to Cash options, that's where game turns into a freaking pay-to-win, still-broken-and-bugged garbage.
Not to mention the fact, that devs made a poll (THAT NOBODY HAD SEEN IN PROGRESS) they only showed "final results" where 58% were still against the feature. Open player-made poll on forum showed around 80-90% opposing the feature. And as far as i know that feature is still there.
Game has a potential... or rather had a potential. But money-hungry devs are finishing the game off right now, they ignore every single existing problem and are just trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of the dying thing.
Stay away from that garbage, if you want to try it - play trial, it's free and you'll get everything you'd get in the full game. In trial you'll get killed by a hacker, in full you'll get killed by a guy with virtually endless medkits and ammo.
It causes bigger buyer's remorse than a useless thing costing 4-digit-amount-of-$$$$,
stay away from that dev-team too, save yourselves some nerves.… Expand
Jan 28, 2014I have been waiting to give a review since I naively paid for this so called game when it came out. DO NOT BUY THIS DO NOT EVEN PLAY IT you will save yourself a lot of time and trouble.
The developers are **** and are simply money grabbing pricks who force purchasing of in game items to play. It is a shining example of greed and the shame of the gaming community.
Jan 28, 2014READ!
Original title of the game is The War Z Read about it and forget about this **** company and their ways of getting money...
its basicly a ripoff from Dayz with a pay to win

Jan 23, 2014I'm giving it a one as the game is playable. That's the only reason as the game is still suffering from monumental bugs, issues and other problems (hackers). It has now been more then a year and it hasn't improved a bit. The cars, "super-zombie" and the hilariously buggy "flanking" zombie are nothing that actually helps the game.
PVP oriented "survival" game and there is a button to simply press F10 to immediately get into the shop. Don't know if they removed it but I would wager they did as their development team seem very schizophrenic at best.… Expand

Jan 12, 2014So many people making sarcastic ratings and giving them 10's when they should be helping inform the public, this game was a quick cashin with many models being taken from their previous "tdm" game that they have largely ignored since moving to their next cashin their business model focuses on you losing all your stuff ingame and having to use the ingame store to even have a chance, makes the cost to an already overpriced 15$ to100+ dollars depending on how long it takes you to realise its a scam… Expand
Jan 9, 2014TL;DR version down below!!
This game had a rough start and i understand people are angry about that but about the time they changed the name to: infestation survivor stories, the game improved. ALLOT i didn't play long before that update.
a lot of dayz fanboy's are hating on the game even tough i personally think it's just as good if not better (talking about the mod i haven't played the standalone.) Let's address the title it received so much hate because it was almost the same as Dayz but if you haven't figured it out, it's by the makers of war inc. they never intended to rip off dayz with it's name they just decided to stick with the name war, and added the z for zombie, you might argue that's a lie but this is based on true information. i personally enjoyed this game allot, especially playing it at night with a friend the tension of getting killed is really good,
but there is a problem it was never the zombie's that got us but always the other players. but it's said that the biggest problem was that killing zombies was to easy and required no skill. That's is true for 1 zombie because when they are hit by a melee weapon their next attack will have a 100% miss rate. making it just mindlessly stabbing it in the face for a few times. and against 2-3 zombies it's walking back hoping you won't walk into another zombie, and with more then that you are better of running.
but that isn't what you are supposed to do you should avoid them or try to fight them 1 at the time or get your friend to kill one and you another. and what about other player's well they will shoot you at sight doesn't matter if you are armed or not a big problem with it being is that gun's are extremely easy to find
and you can just take some from your global inventory (the place you put stuff you found.)
pvp is usually a sniper bullet to the brains while you can't see it coming. but other time's it's a epic gunfight where every bullet counts and that's what stands out. just as well the tension you have while walking about. i highly suggest you try out the trial account and then if you enjoyed it buy the full game.
it has quite a few problem's but they are still working on it full on.
as of the time of making this review, they are working on a new map: California which also includes vehicles and new weapons. they keep on adding new content.
Summary down below!.
TL;DR great game still some issue's pvp can be overpowered the original release was crap
but this is way better and i think it should have been released just now. it's only 15 dollars. if you are not sure play the free trial. also they are adding a new map and loads of content.… Expand
Jan 8, 2014I played this game from beta and TERRIBLE game with NO SUPPORT. It's only unbalanced PVP it's mean that you will be killed few minutes after log in to some server with some players if you don't take IK from zombie. Support i think that there is not support, I am waiting 14 days for some response from support because i have login problem with email and nobody wasn't sent me no feedback. To my created escalation request they wrote me: "Further tickets on the same issue will be considered spam and can allow us to remove you from the support system. Please wait patiently until we can answer your original ticket." what does it mean wait for what Hate this game, hate their support. If you want play zombie survival game try State of decay or DayZ.… Expand
Jan 6, 2014That's very sad to treat this game like that In one year, Hammerpoint makes some huge progress in this game. I'm just gonna make a list of the ameliorations:
New staff, new community, new system anti-cheat, new graphism, new types of zombies, new map, craftfing, vehicules, stuff in the market can be buy with some money game. So yes this game is not perfect but stop saying that this game is crap..Compare to Day Z, the team started with nothing and they deserve some respect for that.

Dec 29, 2013Is currently the best and most complete game of survival! There is nothing when it was warz! Complete system of crafting, reputation and experience, but is still in development.
Dec 27, 2013Since the beginning of the game, people have been B*tching about how the Devs are so terrible, and people even claimed that they planned on sacking the project and running away with our money.
Here we are, almost in 2014, and not just is the game still around, it's better than ever! There are VERY FEW issues, that I've experienced in my ~240 hours of game-play, and playing CO-OP with a friend is the highlight of the game.
The Devs have learned from their early mistakes, and are doing things much more professionally now. I do not consider myself very good at this game, but it's still fun to play, and well worth the $7.49 that Steam is selling it for right now.
PROS: Easy to learn, (compared to other games like DayZ), fun Solo or CO-OP game-play, constant developments in the game make it interesting.
CONS: Graphics are 50% good, 50% bad Example: The graphics in the background (mountains, trees) is quite good, where as the close up graphics (Zombies, melees, weapons) is quite bad. As a new spawn, you will probably be gunned down by a long time player, with a machine gun.
Overall I would highly recommend the game. I've played about 240 hours off-and-on, and it's still such a fun passtime. Also, those of you who have declared the game terrible in the past: I urge you to try playing it again. The newest updates have greatly improved the game.… Expand
Dec 24, 2013Absolutely terrible gam and unprofessional devs that give indie games a bad rap. On their stream you can watch and listen as developer Artemis knives berates customers in the most profane and vile manner.
Dec 23, 2013My god... This game is win or forever be mad... Also have a beastly PC or die... Which in my case I don't have a great computer at the time of writing this up. I do like this game at times but they really need to do more stress testing on different built PCs because honestly the amount of times I have had to just endure the problems with AMD/ATI graphic issues have been too much for my money to be well spent. I would assume that after they got the word about people selling GC for a far cheaper price they got working on removing the feature to trade it slowly. This game had the portential but has been ruined by people who might be good at making a game but only make them selfs look like they do their job the part where money comes in. I do not recommend this game to people who don't have the time/skills to play this game. I have not had the skills nor the PC to play this game and PVP only PVE.… Expand
Dec 21, 2013Do not buy this game if you're thinking of buying something! If i were you i'd rather buy Day Z (since War Z, or as it is now Infestation: Survivor Stories or something, is basically a ripoff of Day Z.) Also they keep saying that there are things in-game which is really not there. I'd rather go buy Day Z, 7D2D (7 Days To Die) or Rust.
Dec 21, 2013Do not purchase this game. Many features listed on Steam are completely missing. The price was reduced to less than $15 in order to squeeze as much money from the game before it dies. I repeat: do not purchase this game, you will not get what you think you are getting. Just look at the War Z forums to see the problems.
Dec 21, 2013Jogo muito FODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Dec 20, 2013Bon jeux dans l'ensemble, et les développer essayent vraiment d'améliorer le jeux de jour en jour.
Beaucoup de médisance sur ce jeux, mais les derniers mis a jours et celle a venir améliore considérablement le jeux
Dec 20, 2013I gave this game a chance, but he disappointed me and I regretted buying it. Poor graphics, creppy online service and a ridiculous. And besides, I could not play at any moment due to bugs in the game. I hate this! It's the worst game I ever played.
Dec 18, 2013At first we found this game very addicting and fun with my friends. We played it almost everyday and had fun at the same time. So one day they said that they will make it look better(graphics), we were a bit excited but when it was released, we were extremely disappointed. Two of my friends couldn't play it anymore, because the developers raised the graphics card requirement. I could only play with one of my friend, because he had a more powerful computer.
Everyone started asking for the graphics to be lowered back to normal or give us a chance to set shadows OFF and lighting on LOW. So some weeks later they announced a new patch, that they now gave us a chance to turn off shadows. We thought we could play again. But we were disappointed again.
The only settings before were High/Ultra, they only changed the labels not the real effect. After that people started asking on the forums about it and complaining and the got banned for it and posts were removed. You couldn't even search a post with a tag "fps" in it, it was not allowed.
They just ruined a good game… Expand

Dec 10, 2013This game is just terrible. I played this game for awhile and then they started changing stuff like loot spawns. They changed it to where you could almost not find back packs...but they were on sale for real money in their shops. The game is poorly designed and optimized for any PC. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY! HP's other games are also terrible just look at their track record including Sergey Titov's (owns HP) track record.… Expand
Dec 9, 2013So I'm german, please be patient.
This game has a lot of problems, that's true. But otherwise it is just so much fun and has a lot of potential. Play this game with friends or in a clan and you'll love it.
Dec 8, 2013The game has come a long way since War Z, and all the haters that panned this game so much will eat their words now i'm sure. Sure it's not perfect, far from it. But if you like huge open world exploration, finding loot and killing zombies people, then you'll enjoy this.
Dec 8, 2013After the release of colorado v2 map,it change from bad to good..not every game perfect,right?.
this game are in good direction now.there is no game like this 1st/3rd person mmo survival zombie apocalypse.
Dec 6, 2013Played the trial, it is average across the board in every department and very slow paced. Firearms fun but lack ammo and melee is so underpowered. Well thats if you survive the zombie encounters? SP on your own this just fails to entertain that much and is a slow grind. If I buy this I think I'd only play it with a clan not on my own again.
Dec 3, 2013This is the masterpiece from the biggest money horny producer ever.
I thought that the game will show potencial but nothing.
Taking a free 2 play engine and trying to use pay 2 pay pay 2 win
Dec 3, 2013I think this game is amazing, and just too underrated, it's a good game to play before DayZ standalone is released. it has good graphics, good gameplay, and a big map got released (california), if you want fun, play this game.
Dec 2, 2013Do not purchase this game.its very bad full of hackers,bugs and disconnect problems,bad support
Just look at the İnfestation forums to see the problems

Nov 30, 2013Very bad ripoff of DayZ. The game was previously called "The War Z" before they changed it to avoid the bad press. In addition to being a complete ripoff, the game is very poor quality and has many bugs. The company has very bad customer support, often bans active players with no reason and no way to get your money back.
Nov 30, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The better game ever made.
The problem is the Developper team, they are so much bad.
If they sell the propriets of Infestation to EA, or Microsoft, or another, the game will respawn.… Expand
Nov 30, 2013Great game! love the PVP and PVE combat. The fact that you can swim and bleed to death is also just... just great. Hopefully retards will stop hating the game because they don't understand the mechanics and are trying to play it like DayZ.
Nov 30, 2013Waste of time and money, just it. I have nothing more to say, just to full this 150 characters. This game sucks, I play since the alpha, and almost nothing changes, the developers only care about the money.
Nov 30, 2013Waste of time and money.
Poor graphic, missing features from description, lots of bugs, poor animations, broken mechanics.
If you want to enjoy your evening just buy bottle of vodka and some sushi.
Dec 17, 2012This game is TERRIBLE. The features are all crappy rip-offs of features DayZ has, and the Dev's wishlist is the same. The screenshots featured in advertisements are LIES. they feature actions that are literally impossible in the game. The clan feature is only available in the in-game store, usually a free feature in MMO's. The advertise dozens of skills yet the actual number is ZERO! The playerbase is also 60% hackers but so far most of those banned are innocent due too the poorly implemented "bait" pick-ups they use to catch hackers. The servers also crach inexplicably on a regular basis. The zombies AI is the worst I have ever seen, and i've seen some pretty bad AI. if you dont believe me check the steam forums for every positive comment their are dozens calling for a free refund. In conclusion there is absolutely no reason to buy this game especially when the vastly superior DayZ is FREE.… Collapse
Mar 7, 2013Its mechanical foundation - like this Foundation Release - crumbles at the lightest touch. [March 2013, p.94]
Feb 22, 2013The War Z has about as much value as its crappy in-game melee weaponry and that's not much at all. At least it doesn't cost anything to play after you buy it, and the cash shop items are fair enough, so you won't see people running around with machine guns just because they spent money. If you're going to give your money to a zombie-survival game, grab ArmA II and a copy of the DayZ mod, or wait for the full retail version of DayZ to arrive on digital store shelves and check that out. Do not buy into The War Z.
Feb 5, 2013The War Z might use the same elements that make DayZ an enthralling experience. But it puts them together so halfheartedly that you have to turn away in disbelief.

I love this. Mosturizes amazinly well, has a good smell. Sanitary pump bottle and its cheap! My favorite lotion ever!
I absolutely adore this stuff! I was browsing lotions at Target the other day trying to find the St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter and I ran across this. I sniffed it as I usually like Cocoa Butter scents. Well, I fell in love with the scent instantly. So I bought it and have abandoned my other lotions since. I put this on twice a day just because I love the smell and how soft it makes my legs. I will def. repurchase and can see myself going thru it quite fast if I continue using it as often as I have been.
I do have some stretch marks on my hips from pregnancy that I am hoping this will fade, but I have only been using it a few days, so I will edit my review if it makes a difference.

This is my favorite lotion. I've been using it for a little over a year now, and all of the Bath & Body Works lotions I have are collecting dust. This lotion hydrates my skin really well making it soft and I love the sheen that it gives. I get itchy skin on my arms quite often, and this lotion always soothes it.

Ahhh...love Target...as I was there today, I figured I better get a different lotion as I noticed in the gym the legs were a bit flakey. I strolled down the aisles, and found this and the oil version. I opted for this as it was dirt cheap for the vat size ($5 with a $1 off coupon!) and heaven knows, I have about six thousand different lotions! Well, for my post gym shower, I decided to give this stuff a try. I was not disappointed! I love the scent, as it is not too overpowering. The creaminess was great, but a little on the thin side. I can't wait to see if it evens out skin tone, as I do tan. I will def. repurchase! continued >>
I got this as a gift along with a few other things and i thought to myself "I hate Vaseline, so i'm not even going to use this" But i wound up putting it on my hands and thought "Wow this stuff feels and smells nice". So after i took a shower i tried it all over my body and i love it. It gives my skin a nice velvety texture, i look radiant, i smell warm and sweet. It a great product over all.
Great lotion! My roommate was using this, and I noticed how even her skin tone was (she has a darker complexion) and how great the room smelled when she used this. After she let me give it a try, I was hooked. I went out and bought a huge bottle of this for CHEAP ($7 US). This is so much nicer than the Suave lotion I've been using the past few months. The smell is lovely, it's thick but quickly absorbant, my skin has remained soft since using it, and my skin isn't red or dull, especially on my legs (very dry). Will buy again, even though the huge bottle is likely to last quite some time.

I have been using this for a year now. It's my HG lotion. It feels rich, but not greasy and softens my skin and has really helped reduce my stretch marks. It has a soft, cocoa butter smell to it, but it's pleasant and not overpowering.

I LOVE this. It smells yummy and moisturizes really well. It leaves my skin baby soft and has a gorgeous sheen. More even-toned too. I'll definitely be buying it again. I have the one with added vitamin e by the way. I also had a really dark scar from a burn which was already smooth but it was really dark and it's almost gone now since I've used this product. I also have some stretch marks on my hips from growth spurts that are fading away. And a lot of minor flaws in my skin have also disappeared thanks to the cocoa butter. This is definitely my HG body lotion, I'm never going to use another body lotion ever again!
This is a great product, and an even better price. It absorbs quickly, and smells wonderful. It has the classic cocoa butter aroma, without being so strong you smell like candy. It really helps dry skin and fades some stretch marks. It makes my skin oh so soft, even my hubby uses it.
I've always been a big fan of Vaseline's body lotion line and this one is no different--it leaves my skin so incredibly soft, smooth, and silky. It feels like a luxury moisturizer but without the price. Despite the distinct cocoa smell (can be pleasant in small doses, but I might get sick of it after I smell it everyday) I would repurchase this.

Every gal in the scene from all five boroughs congregates under one roof in a lesbian version of The Hunger Games, except without all the bloodshed and genetically engineered flesh eating animals. And everyone is alive at the end of the night, if a bit wobbly.
Those in attendance at this year's awards at XL Nightclub included a Tony Award nominated actress, Real L Word cast members and more. Local band and soon-to-be television stars Hunter Valentine played an energetic set to an appreciative crowd. Check out the photos below.

- Nice to have this recommended by a friendMackVIPDined on 11/17/2014My wife and I lunched here late last Monday. What a pleasure - ambiance, food, service: all first class. The setting is pure French bistro and the menu shares traditional French selections. Each of our three courses seemed to outperform the former including the (real) espresso machine espresso. Of particular note were the pastries included in the profiteroles - extremely light and fragile crispy!! We both had a quiche consisting of onion, spinach, bacon and cheese. Tasty, light and cooked perfectly. The neighborhood on Union Street is lively and the day was warm (November no less) so the stroll after a fine meal was rewarding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My little bit of ParisDeliaVIPDined on 11/14/2014I go to Cafe Des Amis often, but had been out of town for two months, it felt good to be home again, they have a classic french bistro menu and their omelette is the best in town. DeliaSpecial Features:
- A Treatpetunia281Dined on 11/7/2014Went for dinner on Friday. Arrived in time for happy hour & had a wonderful rosé seated at the sidewalk watching the Union Street revelers pass. Dinner (inside) was delicious: we both started with the pâté maison, one of the better ones we've had. I went on to enjoy a sinful pleasure: steak tartare, while my companion had the saucisson de fruits de mer. He wasn't completely delighted because he said it was a sort of fish pâté with no one distinctive flavor---to be expected from the nature of the dish, as he commented afterwards. A decadent cake dessert was a worthy consolation prize, however! Des Amis is to be commended for the quality of its service: it matched the quality of the meal.Special Features:
- Seven Perfect Ten's BDay LunchSnobBobDined on 11/7/2014Thank you Cafe des Amis for a most delightful 70th birthday celebration for our favorite Cuisine Margaret (aka Cousin). The ambience is always elegant and private in your mezzanine dining area--perfect for our party of eight; the menu a fine repertoire for lunch and your specialty 24-layer crepe cake the highlight of our gathering. And your service is thoughtful, attentive and impeccable. A most memorable day for the honoree! We've had a 40th and 60th birthday lunch chez Cafe des Amis in recent years! A fine tradition, indeed! Looking to fit in 50th and 80th luncheon(s) in the near future!Special Features:

- Versatile, elegant and deliciousFoodlover57VIPDined on 10/15/2014I had no hesitation having a business lunch at Cafe des Amis. While it is great for Mother's Day brunch or a birthday dinner, it is also very healthy and offers delicious choices for a business lunch or dinner. The decor is sophisticated and airy, one can talk without being overheard or make a great deal of noise. It depends on the time of day and where you choose to sit. I come here often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SanfranciscojtSanfranciscojtVIPDined on 10/12/2014It took a full hour before we got anything at out table. No wine. No bread. Nothing. It was not crowded. Finally we went into the restaurant and searched around and found someone and asked where ou.r wine was and could we get some bread or something. The manager came out and said "I can get that for you", as if we asked him for a special favor. We ordered two butter lettuce salads to start. About 20 minutes later one arrived. We had to ask for the second one and it took 15 minutes to get there. It went downhill from there. He took our wine away to keep cool and we had to go back in again and ask someone if we could have it back after our glasses stood empty for about 15 minutes.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 10/3/2014Like being in Paris, the food and ambience delivers!Special Features:
- Donovan59VIPDined on 9/16/2014Love this place but disappointed they took the Duck Confit off the menu (been a while since I was there)! I had the flatiron steak and frites instead - rather tough and not tender - and if you're going to offer steak/frites you have to have bearnaise sauce. The fries seemed thicker too -prefer thinner. Daniel our waiter, however, was wonderful!Special Features:
- Wonderful Anniversary DinnerSFfoodieVIPDined on 9/2/2014My husband and I just spent our 2nd wedding anniversary dinnner at Des Amis and were blown away by the delicious food and amazing service. It was a Tuesday and so it was definitely a quieter night but even so, everything was impecable and to make things even better, it was half priced wine night - naturally we ordered a bottle of French champagne to celebrate. We started with a half-dozen oysters which were so fresh and tasty, followed by the gnocchi - perfectly light and fluffy - and the onion soup - perfect for a foggy night in the city. Entrees were killer as well... I had the steak tartare and my husband had the chicken paillard - no complaints. To go along with the great food our waiter was even better - so welcoming and polite.Special Features:
- MarsanDined on 9/1/2014The ambiance is appealing. We arrived at 4:30p.m. and the audio was very loud. We asked to have it lowered and they accommodated us. Haley, our server, was very helpful and polite. Fun place for lunch. My, selection, melted ham & cheese sandwich, was very dry. The calamari appetizer was great. The butter lettuce looked delicious and the ahi tuna was good. One breast of the roasted chicken was dry the other was moist.Special Features:
- ALWAYS A GREAT MEALOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/1/2014French bistro grill food, short menu, great staff, awesome bartenders....always our go to restaurant for special celebrations, brunch or perfect city dining without too much fuss.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch with DavidchocoladVIPDined on 8/24/2014This has become a favourite venue for weekend brunch. The staff is always pleasant and there to provide anything you might need. The menu is varied and interesting. I enjoy the Quiche and Omelets and will have to try some of the other offerings. I recommend it for all ages.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not impressedFrenchieDined on 8/15/2014I tried this place several times in the past. When they first opened, it was great. The design and service of the restaurant is still great but the taste of food has suffered. It's probably partly the clientele's fault for leaning towards American comfort food it seemed as I was noticing what people were ordering. I tried the niocci and the lamb entree both lacked flavor and the sauce tasteless. Definitely don't order the lamb. They are good for bruch, hamburger and seafood trays. By the look of the restaurant, I expected better food. I will probably go back for the ambiance, lunch and brunch but I think there are better places in the city for dinner around this price range.Special Features:
- My little ParisDeliaVIPDined on 8/15/2014Went a friend for a little celebration, and as always it was lovely. Delia CrawfordSpecial Features:
- Bistro cafeGenevois2Dined on 8/14/2014True to Bistro style restaurant with decor and ambience to match. Food is very good,Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BistromaniaHofameVIPDined on 8/12/2014Nice representation of that Paris place we all like to visit. Food is pretty good, menu is authentic, wine list superior, and drink service spot on. Charming young waiter who admitted under cross-examination he had fled from Clovis. We had a good time here.Special Features:
- Good choice at Union streetSeafoodDined on 8/10/2014Good looking place, should be good for the group as they have separate dining area. Food was ranging from outstanding to so so. Waiter forgot several entries and to bring the spoon, but corrected with an extra portion and desert. Place was not particularly crowded on Sunday evening, but it should be. Overall, good find, away from tourist crowd.Special Features:
- mehpanioloDined on 8/9/2014thought of this as a busy, fun place, but on saturday at 7:30pm the place was empty. awkward intro maitre d who tried to be funny and wasn't. empty tables, and those there looked like tourists. food was good, but took a solid hour for to arrive. everyone in our group complained about the delays. not sure if the decline of betelnut next door is a factor, but that corner-- which used to be fun and packed-- felt abandoned.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/4/2014Loved the mussels au curry and the salade lyonnaise. Friendly service. Very pleasant ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Saturday night dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/26/2014Four of us had a 7:45 reservation on a Saturday night. The place had a nice bar to get drinks before sitting down. Food was very good - we had the butter lettuce salad, pate and salad lyonnaise for apps, mains: halibut, steak frites, seafood ravioli and mushroom vol-au-vent. All dishes were well prepared and tasty. Also the side of fries were really really tasty! Service was solid and never felt rushed. We would definitely eat here again.Special Features:

- neighborhood gem, poor serviceBSPPDined on 7/18/2014I had been to Cafe Des Amis twice before, once for dinner and brunch, and had excellent service and food. This time was horrible. We were seated outside and after 50 minutes we still hadn't placed a drink order, much less food. This was also after notifying the hostess and maître d twice because our waitress was nowhere to be found. Then when our waitress did finally reappear after our order was placed with the maître d the only apology we got was the offer of free calamari which we didn't want since we had already ordered according to our hunger and preferences. Finally the bill came which totaled $120+ for 2 ppl and not even a round of drinks were comped to remedy the experience. It will be a long time before I return to cafe Des Amis.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice meal in an attractive settingChewer007VIPDined on 7/12/2014We had an early dinner at the Des Amis and enjoyed it very much. Front of house staff a little cool, but our waiter was very warm and helpful. Gnocchi and mixed salad (hard to describe how great that was no matter how prosaic it sounds) were high spots. The atmosphere is very autherntic of a Parisian Brasserie, however the music, mostly contemporary American was a little to loud for my taste. The acoustics of the room are reflective as is the trend today. This is great as long as your hearing holds up. I'm kind of on the backside of that deal, so sometimes it's a stuggle to hear in these settings. I suppose it's a tactic if you want to drive the older clientele away.
- AlfieVIPDined on 7/11/2014My second time here - came back for the soft rolled omelets which are deliciously different...have not had them done this way anywhere else. The fries and bread were excellent. The service was exceptional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Little ParisDeliaVIPDined on 7/8/2014This is my favorite neighborhood restaurant, have been introducing friends to it and everyone goes back. DeliaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- So soKatat49Dined on 7/5/2014Halibut was great -best part. bar noise interfered with conversation for about half the dinner. Few wine by glass choices. Pricier than overall restaurant warrants .I would recommend this to a friend.
- The very best!capercatsDined on 7/5/2014Charming ambience! Our service was excellent from start to finish: professional, great suggestions, etc. The food was perfectly prepared and delicious. We asked for a quiet table for two and were seated in a perfect spot for us. We were not rushed and were able to enjoy a lovely evening.Special Features:
- Neighborhood BistroLDSFVIPDined on 7/3/2014Good bistro food well prepared. Full bar. Friendly staff. We had a very good wait person. We enjoyed the French bistro items on the menu along with the oysters, which were wonderful. A friendly, relaxed, attractive place to dine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Little ParisDeliaVIPDined on 7/3/2014As always great service, they have a happy hour that starts at 3pm, love their oysters!!! DeliaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still Nice, ButRegularDinerVIPDined on 6/30/2014We have gone to Des Amis a number of times and always enjoyed all aspects very much. We went again to celebrate a birthday. The food and ambience was generally good but the service was spotty around the edges. While the waitress, bartender and table servers weren't very helpful or attentive, the manager listened carefully and addressed the issues. We will return again but hope we get a more seamless experience with getter trained staff next time. Let's get this restaurant back to five stars!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It's like being in FranceSuziGVIPDined on 6/30/2014Absolutely delightful casual French bistro. Food is exceptional, wait staff is knowledgeable and friendly . Terrific ambiance - I felt right at home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- for our anniversaryfoodfanDined on 6/21/2014Everything was perfect. The lamb and steak was excellent, as was the salad and gnoochi. Great cocktails and beer choices, as well as a nice wine list. Sizeable but feels intimate, and great location. The desserts are super great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GREAT SPECIALSCarmelrestaurantgoerDined on 6/19/2014Their daily specials. We had a two pound lobster, prepared perfectly for $28.00. Good table and service. Only negative would be a lack of good red wine in the $38.00 to $50.00 range. We brought our own and paid the corkage and ordered a couple of extra glasses. Third time there in last year and has become a habit when we visit San Francisco.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Parisian bistrocoastsidemomVIPDined on 6/15/2014We really enjoyed the atmosphere (having been to Paris 5 times over the past 2 years) but were disappointed in the service - waiter never checked to see if we wanted anything (I had to ask for wine) and kept us waiting for dessert for a very long time. He took off the cost of one of the desserts because of the delay, but meantime he had left us waiting without coming back to keep us posted. The food was good but not great - hubby had the roasted chicken which he thought was good, and I had the duck a l'orange which was good but not great. We ordered a trio of cheese as appetizer; tasty but portions were small - the accompanying spicy nuts were excellent as was the bread. Profiterole dessert was outstanding but pain perdu was disappointing.

TIME IS so precious -do not waste it
Hello to my good friends everywhere,
Well, my completed Blog Entry for today was online early this morning until about 9 a.m. and then "Poof!" It vanished. So here I am back again at nearly 2:30 p.m. writing today's entry again. I know it was on for a while because before I left for my Hyperbaric therapy, I had gotten several comments.
Below is some more information about the therapy I am receiving for my foot problem.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a mode of medical treatment that allows a patient to breathe 100% oxygen while sitting comfortably in a chamber at pressures greater than normal atmospheric (sea level).
The air we breathe is 21% oxygen, 79% nitrogen and minor amounts of other gases. Our bodies are usually able to heal themselves with a normal oxygen level, but in certain conditions extra oxygen is required. During hyperbaric ("hyper" means increased and "baric" relates to pressure) therapy, the pressure is increased to 2 - 3 times that of sea-level and you breathe 100% oxygen. The breathing of pure oxygen under pressure causes a much larger (10-15 times normal) amount of oxygen to be dissolved in the blood and, subsequently, the rest of the body. The extra oxygen is used by the body in many ways. Depending on the underlying problem, the actions can include improved wound healing by reduction of swelling, infection control and the stimulation of new blood vessel growth. The increase of oxygen in the blood allows for medical conditions such as non-healing diabetic wounds to heal when they otherwise would not.
What conditions are typically treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Common medical conditions treated with HBOT include chronic, non-healing diabetic foot wounds, compromised skin grafts/flaps, chronic bone infection and bone/tissue injury resulting from radiation therapy.
What is a typical treatment plan?
Hyperbaric treatments are 2 hours long, and are performed on a daily basis, for 6 days per week. The necessary number of treatments is decided on an individual basis, but typically 4 to 7 weeks of treatments are required for the desired healing to occur.
Information above from pamphlet "A Patient's Guide to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy"
"I am currently receiving the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy And I am very pleased with the help I am receiving. I highly recommend Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy." ...Ray White

Some of you have asked me to post this poem again,written by my daughter, Mary.
Snowflakes and Dear Ones©
Gentle snowflakes fall upon me,
Melting fast upon my face,
There's no way that I can keep them,
If in my heart they have no place.
Very fragile, very special,
Are these snowflakes from the sky
They remind me of my dear ones,
As they gracefully flutter by.
Scarcely do I see their beauty,
Barely do their rare imprints
Fix themselves upon my fingers,
Till I'm wondering where they went.
In this world so temporary,
Filled with ephemeral things,
Surely everything is fleeting,
Flying 'way on speeding wings.
Like the snowflakes that are melting,
When they touch my skin so warm,
Yes, myself, my friends, my family,
We're on that solemn journey home.
Snowflakes can't be kept in bottles,
You can't grasp them as they fly,
You just have to dearly love them,
As they slowly flutter by.
We cannot keep what can't be held,
And just as snowflakes disappear,
Often on life's lonely landscape
We're deprived of what is dear.
Yet no one really leaves us,
Though we're far, so far apart,
As long as we believe in snowflakes,
And keep them always in our hearts.
By Mary L White
Now I need to do something very important, and I think most of you will agree with me that it is important for ol' Dad. Can you guess what it is? You're right. Get a little nap. I think Prince will think it's a good idea for him, too. Don't you?
I might come back later today, but if not hope to see you Friday A.M. if my life is spared. Sending my Love to you.

Celebrities and politicos alike—including former residents of a little place on Pennsylvania Avenue—flee from the District to the Virginia suburbs for one thing: Peking Gourmet Inn's peking duck. Founder Eddi Tsui decided to make the bird the centerpiece of his eatery way back in 1978, when the Falls Church spot first opened its doors. To set his peking duck apart, the chef eschewed store-bought hoisin for his own recipe, perfected his homemade pancakes, and even began growing his own jumbo spring onions. Prepared tableside, the meal is truly this spot's—and perhaps Falls Church's—claim to fame, and even made an appearance on the The Food Network's "Best Thing I Ever Ate", where it was interviewed by chef Duff Goldman. Though the duck has stolen Peking Gourmet Inn's spotlight for the past three decades, the chef's other dishes still manage to hold their own. Items like sea scallops sautéed with roasted garlic, peking-style lamb chops, and singapore rice noodles round off the menu of Northern Chinese specialties, which also includes tried-and-true standbys such as szechuan beef and chicken chow mein.
Fans of Chinese hole-in-the-walls will go gaga over Little China Cafe in Palisades, tucked as it is into a basement space along MacArthur Boulevard. Traverse the brick steps into the front door and beyond, where simple wooden tables and a low roofline make for cozy dining. The slightly confined space may be the primary reason most eaters call ahead for deliver or takeout, but when lunch specials come in well under $20, it's hard to quibble over décor. The usual assortment of Chinese fare – much of it given an Americanized turn – populates the menu, from pan-fried dumplings and fried rice to moo shu pork, Cantonese-style fish fillets and the Happy Family, a mélange of roast pork, chicken, shrimp, scallops and beef, among other things.
At Cee Fine Thai Dining, chefs assemble stunningly arranged plates of authentic Thai fare, separating meals and sauces for an interactive dining experience, or arranging disparate components in an artful stack to create a new twist on a familiar dish. This culinary runway show honors Thailand's cooking traditions at every turn, earning kudos from the Washington Post for serving "food that tastes as good as it looks." Flavors such as sweet yellow pineapple complement the spicy red sauce of a roasted-duck curry, and tableside clay pots throw aromatic steam diners' way to announce a mélange of shrimp, mussels, and rice. Whether enjoyed on the patio or amid the dining room's ripe orange walls, luscious desserts including key-lime pie conclude meals on a tropical note. The restaurant also hosts live music, wine tastings, and cooking classes, helping diners liberate inner chefs and pent-up running men.
Within a casual, family-friendly atmosphere, Yen Cheng serves contemporary Chinese dishes among a variety of settings, from fresh dining-room tables and carry-out containers to steaming buffet trays. Waiters ferry specialties such as crispy shrimp drenched in spicy Hunan sauce and Sichuan crispy beef sautéed with with carrots and celery. Items rotate daily at the 10-course lunchtime buffet, where soups, appetizers, and diverse entrees allow diners to practice spinning an unending parade of plates atop their chopsticks.

Warm up tongue buds with an order of chicken lettuce wraps, served on a bed of vermicelli and infused with delicate spice, sautéed chicken, and peppers ($6.95 for four, $8.50 for six). The half peking duck is a house specialty, seasoned and slowly grilled until the skin is crispy, and then served with five pancakes, spring onions, and plum sauce to quiet the enthusiastic quacking of hungry stomachs ($14.95). Take a delectable dip with an order of shrimp with lobster sauce, an all-swim of water chestnuts, mushrooms, green peas, and carrots in an egg-white lap pool ($8.95 or $10.95). Sushi is served on Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and the roll library includes classic titles such as spicy tuna ($4.50), as well as novel bundles such as the eel-topped tempura fantasy roll ($8), a favorite of the Loch Ness monster.

With only 17 days under his belt as Virginia Governor, Tim Kaine made his first national address, giving the Democratic response to the State of the Union.
Governor Tim Kaine vowed that his party's response to the State of the Union would not be Bush bashing. Rather, he highlighted what the Commonwealth does well--a possible example for the country.
"There's a better way," said Kaine.
That was Tim Kaine's focus as he responded to the State of the Union. He cited certain failures during the Bush Administration's first five years.
"Ourfederal government should serve the American people. But that mission is frustrated by this Administration's poor choices and bad management," Kaine said.
Giving the address from the Executive mansion in Richmond, the Governor highlighted several key issues trouble the current administration, including overspending.
"You have the right to expect government to be fiscally responsible, pay the bills, and live within its means," he said.
Using Virginia as an example, Kaine pointed to the need for bipartisan cooperation to solve many perceived problems including healthcare and education reform.
It's not about partisanship or political spin. It's about protecting the rights endowed by our Creator; fulfilling the principle of equality set out in our Declaration of Independence," said Kaine.
But most of all, he called for a renewed dedication to serving the American people.
"We ask all Americans to join us in that effort. Because together, America can do better," Kaine concluded.
The 10-minute address was the first national speech from this newly elected governor, a speech in which he hoped will vault Virginia politics back to the national spotlight.
