2012 Zombies vs. Aliens is a new iPhone game with an intriguing premise: In 2012, Aliens in search of new habitats wiped out the human race, having mistaken humans for just another pest on Earth. Their massive alpha particle weapons laid waste to all human life on the planet, leaving them free to sow the [...]

Just a couple quick items here in their growing list (rapidly growing, always growing) of offenses against good taste and the Differently Animated: 1) This week Resident Evil: Afterlife comes out on DVD. You can see our review for the movie here, or just simulate the experience of watching the flick by shoving your face [...]

Now this I have to admit is a wrinkle I wasn’t expecting: ‘Infectonator: Christmas Edition’ pares the original ‘Infectonator’ down to its bare, horrific essentials. Like the original, your goal is to spread a zombie-causing virus amongst an expecting populace. This is done by merely clicking on a screen full of innocent bystanders, spreading infection [...]

This article about Dead Rising for the iPhone at The Appera isn’t so much a review as it is a eulogy; it sounds like nobody in their right mind should play the blasted thing, for technical and gameplay reasons alone. Keeping in mind, it costs 2 bucks on sale. *snicker* Apparently it lags, it’s extremely [...]

Google results seem inconclusive. The selection of Plants and Zombies is somewhat odd, too. Gargantuars I get, Squash have a fun character design, sure… but no [...]

I’ve hesitated to put up a full review of this game for some time, having purchased it weeks ago, because.. Well, I haven’t put a ton of time into playing it, to be blunt. This isn’t an issue of being rushed though, or even of ordinary laziness. It’s just.. The game just isn’t fun. At [...]

No, I’m not referring to the book by Thomas Frank but rather to this disturbing little story out of Tonganoxie: On a recent Monday, the scene in the lobby of the Tonganoxie Public Library was pretty much what a visitor would expect: A middle-aged man reading a magazine, a woman quietly walking along book shelves [...]

My how the mighty have fallen. From the glory days of the Genesis to this sad and pitiful state, where Sega, desperately wanting to feel relevant, wedges over the top, hyper-violent Zombie-hating into one of its remaining high profile game franchises: The first third person shooter from Sega’s Yakuza team will be Yakuza of the [...]

Capcom is just determined to get on the ZRC’s bad side lately. I mean, it’s not bad enough that three separate Zombie slaughtering characters from Resident Evil are going to be in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, or that they may be about to announce a new Resident Evil game; they’ve got to do more harm [...]
