Seriously, I think the Resident Evil franchise is reaching with this addition to their upcoming ‘Mercenaries’ game: S.T.A.R.S. member and gun enthusiast, Barry Burton, joins playable characters Chris Redfield, Jack Krauser, Hunk, Jill Valentine, Albert Wesker, Rebecca Chambers and Claire Redfield as they face off against the terrifying enemies of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D [...]

Call of Duty: Black Ops’ Anti-Zombie modes have been enormously successful, and that leads to some very dedicated fans: A group of Call of Duty fans have put together a short fan film, based on the “Nazi Zombie” mode from Treyarch’s last two Call of Duty titles.

A loyal ZRC correspondent forwarded this to us on Twitter the other day and I was once again surprised by just how much Zombie-Unfriendly mischief people can get up to using Youtube: The Zombie Temp Worker is a comedy series created by PopCap and released on Youtube.

Wow. It’s not going to be hard to find a copy of ‘Dead Island’ on the shelves in America now, folks; finding a Japanese game company that isn’t in bed with Anti-Zombie bigots is another matter: Dead Island publisher Deep Silver has joined with industry giant Square Enix to distribute Techland’s upcoming zombie action title [...]

We’ve been awash in ‘Call of the Dead’ info recently, and today is no exception, as a poster for the upcoming game has come the ZRC’s way and we think it’s important to share in order to fully explain the significance. At the same time however, we respect other peoples’ intellectual property, so here, have [...]
