[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]Through a cycle of death and rebirth, cynical photojournalist Frank West learns to forsake materialism and the pleasures of the flesh (embodied by a mall full of zombies and the tools to kill them in increasingly improbable ways) in favour of helping others (rescuing survivors) and unlocking the mysteries of the universe (completing casefiles), for only in this way can he transcend the 72-hour time limit and enter overtime mode. If any of this sounds familiar, it's because it was the entire plot of the movie <i>Groundhog Day.</i>[/quote]
