Gaming pet peeve

  Just wanted to get something off of my chest about games. I was playing one of my free games from PSN last night after having finished Infamous 2 again the other day. The game is basically a zombie survival shooter game where you kill literally thousands of zombies trying to get through the level. However one thing it relied on was the concept of monster closets. Every time you got to a new area and engaged a group of zombies a whole bunch of zombies would suddenly appear behind you from an area where you had slaughtered everything in sight. You could tell exactly when they were going to trigger and it made the game just a bit of a chore to go through the levels. The game is fun enough in its own right but it became predictable what was going to happen. Game designers need to get beyond this one trick which this game along with a few others in the past use too much in order to create difficulty in a game.

  Anyway, just something that annoys me about games that I wanted to get out there.
