Update: I kind of forgot to post this one, but I believe the subject matter, ie, the horrible new RE movie in the works, is still relevant to The Cause. I hadn’t actually expected the hospitalizations from the new ‘Resident Evil’ movie to crop up until audiences were subjected to it and turned to gouging [...]

Why is it that so many of the latest Zombie-themed games for phones are coming out for the iPhone now that the ZRC went with Androids, anyway? Glu Mobile is on a mission to prove that Free-to-Play iOS games can provide the same rich experience as paid apps. Their latest title, Contract Killer: Zombies, might [...]

There seems to be a regular epidemic of Anti-Zombie games on Apple devices of late! Case in point, the new title ‘Zombie Life’ (from the makers of apparently-smash-hit ‘Zombie Farm’): The Playforge clearly aren’t keen to sit back, though, and have released a new zombie social gaming title: Zombie Life. This time round, players take [...]

Don’t get me wrong; this is not one of those cases where a developer or publisher just splashes some Anti-Zombie violence into a game or book or show to boost ratings; ‘The Lord of the Rings’ definitely, and prominently, featured Undead antagonists. Sad as that was. It also features some quasi-protagonists in the form of [...]

We’ve put something like 50 hours into the super-huge and expansive latest entry in the Fallout franchise over the last few weeks here at the ZRC, and it’s been quite the adventure. A full review will arrive.. eventually. This game is so huge it’s hard to say when that will be! So far, however, despite [...]

We’ve previously discussed this game, but the fundraiser is running down and yes, it is fully funded, but they’re still promoting new ways to get players involved in Anti-Zombiism: Notable Reward: $20 – You can call up a hotline to have your best zombie impression recorded for in the game. Also a spot in the [...]

Not so much because of the people involved, aside from Smirky McGee herself Milla, but because it indicates that this, ahem, ‘film’ is still well on its way to ruining an afternoon of mine sometime in the future. Oh, and spreading lots of Anti-Zombie prejudice of course: Are You Sick Of Resident Evil: Retribution Casting [...]

In the classic science-fiction spoof ‘Spaceballs’, one of the recurring jokes is the hypercommercialization of the Spaceballs movie itself, and the bewildering variety of (sometimes just plain bewildering) merchandise that, allegedly, one could purchase related the film. (This is pretty obviously a poke in the ribs at ‘Star Wars’ which really did break all sorts [...]

I was all prepared to rip into this new trailer for ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ for the usual litany of (perfectly valid) complaints about the rampant Living Supremacism of the RE Series, but I have to admit in all honesty I was distracted by something else: truly rampant to the point-of-anachronism, classic b-movie sexism. Check it [...]
