Some additional video and information has come out about the upcoming Anti-Zombie expansion for ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ and, surprise surprise, it’s all George Romero’s fault somehow: So the story in-game seems to be that Mr. Romero was shooting another one of his Anti-Zombie films and somehow awoke, and clearly angered, the Differently Animated, [...]

‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ is getting a new map expansion pack, and naturally, that means more Anti-Zombie violence, but this time they’re really going all out: It’s rare that a DLC for a game gets an all star voice acting cast but that’s what’s happening with the new zombie level included in the upcoming [...]

(The hate-filled trailer for the game that seeks to make Zombie-bashing the new Easter celebration activity) It’s no secret, and not hugely relevant for ZRC purposes, that I’m not a religious person. In some ways it might help me to view the Undead in a more evenhanded way, since I don’t approach the subject with [...]

Yes, Dead Rising 2 is getting another expansion pack. Wheee: Dead Rising 2: Off The Record, sees Wilamette survivor and hero of Dead Rising®, photojournalist Frank West, take centre stage as players experience a very different interpretation of events in this, a reimagining of the Fortune City outbreak. Forget what took place in Dead Rising® [...]

..is in cheap and exploitative fiction. Case in point from yesterday: Is there a zombie on your lawn? Are you out of happy plants to fight them? No worries, mere citizen! Champions Online’s cadre of super-wonders is rushing to protect your home and brains from unwanted undead intrusion! Cryptic announced that it is bringing back [...]

Poking around the Youtubes, I found a longer length video that shows a good deal of the Lovable Zombie art and story, and also gives you a pretty solid feel for the basic gameplay: Basically, it’s a stylus-oriented game, where you draw lines and shapes and tap the screen to direct the motion of your [...]

BuyZombie caught our attention with some video and box art for the Japanese release of Lovable Zombie/I Love Zombies: So this is an odd little zombie game that has hit Japan (though no news on a state side port/translation.) The concept of this one is to not actually hunt down zombies as most games do [...]

What a remarkably distasteful development: New images have emerged for the upcoming new Resident Evil title in the long running zombie franchise from Capcom. The new screenshots showcase a few new characters as well as an unlikely ability: using zombies as shields. Resident Evil Raccoon City is a squad-based shooter, which I believe is a [...]

I don’t suppose you can expect a *ton* of originality from yet another ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ game: Dead Island lies somewhere in the middle of the zombie market’s two big darlings: Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising. Like Valve’s masterpiece it’s a first-person adventure with four player coop features. But instead of making Dead Island a [...]

Depressingly, the variety of Anti-Zombie videogames just seems to keep increasing at a steady clip. Perhaps tiring of the Zombie Apocalypse theme, Anti-Zom developers are branching out: There’s no denying it. Zombie games make money. No one has anything against a good zombie game really, it’s just that there’s a lot of them. So we [...]
