The Xbox 360 has clearly become one of the central fronts in the battle against Anti-Zombie media, with its continued exclusives and early releases of Anti-Zombie games. As previously discussed, however, the Marketplace for Xbox downloadable games is a hotbed of Anti-Zombie media, and Microsoft seemingly has no problem letting legions of Living Supremacist developers [...]

Videogame auteur Goichi Suda, widely known as Suda51, has become famous for making edgy, bizarre, sardonic titles aimed at adult gamers and is best known for the ‘No More Heroes franchise. It appears however that he has decided to cash in while the money’s so very good and make an Anti-Zombie videogame of his own: [...]

Reading pop journalism stuff like this sometimes has me reaching for the Cuervo before noon, but I must resist.. I must! London – Hollywood’s current love affair with zombies is a weak echo of the decades-long romance between videogames and the living dead. In any fantasy game, zombies haul themselves up out of the soil [...]

We’ve had a few tangles with ‘Plants vs Zombies’ here on the ZRC blog. We feel that their game is a harmful product marketed at children to introduce Anti-Zombie hate to the next generation; they, or at least ‘Plants vs Zombies’ writer Stephen Notely, have harsh words about our clients I lay my prejudice bare.

Not Thorn. This brave little viking wades into [...]

We talked with some concern here on the ZRC blog about how Square Enix had picked up distribution duties on the odious Living Supremacist game ‘Dead Island’ to help ensure it receives wider release here in the US. Well, their commitment to hating the Differently Animated doesn’t just extend to shuffling plastic around, as it [...]

It’s always disturbing to learn that an icon in public life is an Anti-Zombie bigot. I mean, Max Brooks made a name for himself being evil, but undoubtedly some comic book fans were disheartened when Robert Kirkman showed his true colors. Woody Harrelson? I never saw that one coming. But the Cookie Monster, beloved children’s [...]

‘Fido’, which I’m working on screenshots of for a full review for the ZRC blog, famously explored the concept of abusive humans using Zombies as slaves, and what might happen when one little boy treated his Zombie more like a pet, and eventually, a member of the family instead. It was an interesting, outside the [...]

Yes, the Anti-Zombie bigots seem determined to ruin all sorts of fun games with their prejudice. I mean, ‘Humans vs. Zombies’ takes all the fun out of NERF gun fights, and we’ve already talked about the prospect of ‘Zombie Tag’. What’s next, Zombie Pinatas? Seriously, it is: Zombie Piñata is an action packed game for [...]

A controversial Supreme Court ruling was handed down today declaring that a California law restricting the sale of violent videogames to minor was unconstitutional. WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday struck down on First Amendment grounds a California law that barred the sale of violent video games to children. The 7-to-2 decision was the [...]
