Did you know that it’s been 15 years since Capcom started peddling Anti-Zombie prejudice in the ‘Resident Evil’ game series? Well, it has, and they’re even having a party to, ahem, celebrate: CAPCOM revealed on Tuesday that it will stream its Resident Evil (Biohazard) 15th anniversary party being held in Tokyo on its Ustream channel [...]

I’ve discussed this at length with other interested members of the larger Undead Equality Movement, and easy answers are hard to come by; what, exactly, is the relationship between the ‘Silent Hill’ games and the Zombie Community? Unlike ‘Resident Evil’, which clearly defames Zombies, ‘Silent Hill’ is a bit harder to pin down. Are your [...]

I’ll admit to having played quite a bit of ‘House of the Dead’ back in the day, particularly ‘House of the Dead 2′. I even own a copy of ‘Typing of the Dead’, a typing tutor game made from ‘House of the Dead’. Yes, they really did that. Still, in the years since I’ve seen [...]

The ZRC’s position on the nightmarishly boring, intellect-sapping evil known as ‘Sparkly Vampires’ is well known to our readers. However, what about Sparkly Living Supremacism? Well, you’ll get plenty of that, tragically, in the upcoming game ‘Lollipop Chainsaw’, previously covered here and here on the ZRC blog. It’s not pretty: Sparkle Hunting? Giant glowy hearts [...]

We’ve been following this one on the ZRC blog for a while, and at last, the dread time is upon us: Microsoft and doublesix have announced that the Xbox 360 version of All Zombies Must Die! is now available via Xbox LIVE, priced 800 MP. The spiritual successor to Burn Zombie Burn! drops up to [...]

You see a lot of nasty games pitting the Living against the Differently Animated, but few allow the player to be on both sides of the completely fictitious ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ scenario that the media peddles so voraciously. ‘Infected’ from Glu Mobile, however, lets players create a customized Zombie ‘virus’ and then attempt to attack their [...]

I’m not about to pretend to be a huge expert on Judge Dredd. I’ve read a few comics, and I did see the Stallone movie, which like most moviegoers I’ve largely repressed. There was.. a robot, right? Yeah. Ignorance is bliss here. Well, someone had the bright idea to take Judge Dredd, splash in a [...]

For many people this is a depressing time of year. Me, I’ve always been sort of ambivalent; as a kid I invented my own holiday, the Holy and Lucrative Month of Johnus, to receive presents in the glorious weeks between Christmas and my birthday in late January. Since I celebrate that and not any of [...]

Yes, for those sad individuals who start to go through withdrawal from ‘Left 4 Dead’ the moment they set foot out the door and need desperately to satisfy their sick urges on the go? There will soon be an app for that: Nexon is bringing an adaptation of its free to play shooter Combat Arms [...]

Man, what is with the flood of Zombie hating apps over in the Apple-verse lately? They’re moving on to vehicular manslaughter now, the regular atrocities having apparently become too tame: Zombonie ($0.99) by EMI Records Limited may be another bloody zombie slaying game, but it brings in the heavy machinery: a Zamboni. And what’s cooler [...]
