BuyZombie brings us news of another retro-style Anti-Zombie game in development, which I think officially constitutes a trend, at least if you count all the flash variants of late: Goners is an online zombie board game of survival and betrayal. The game is played by 4 players who take turns roaming the zombie wasteland, killing [...]

Capcom’s been a very busy company, and so they farmed out the code monkey work on one of their latest big Living Supremacist ‘Resident Evil’ titles to a Canadian firm with experience making tactical shooters. Among the ‘exciting’ features previously revealed is the ability to use the Differently Animated as human shields. Delightful. Now USA [...]

We previously discussed indie Anti-Zombie ‘survival’ game ‘Project Zomboid’ here on the ZRC blog, and then it kind of fell off my radar. In our defense, this has been a very busy spring for Anti-Zombie gaming news, what with two Resident Evil titles, lots of Dead Rising news, Silent Hill and the like. Well, the [...]

We support charity fundraising here at the ZRC; quite often, actually. So even though the evil fearmongers and Anti-Zombie pushers at PopCap are our sworn enemies, we feel that we should lend a hand promoting their new charitable endeavour: Popcap Games—the team behind Plants vs Zombies, Bejeweled, and Peggle—is reaching into its big vault of [...]

‘Silent Hill’ games don’t get quite as much press here on the ZRC blog, as their ‘antagonists’ often fall more in the ‘insane human’ or ‘demon’ categories rather than the Differently Animated, and also because, quite frankly, it’s hard to tell what’s going on half the blasted time. Still, they’ve had a noteworthy impact and [...]

We talk a lot about Capcom and their Living Supremacist videogames here on the ZRC blog. A LOT. Given that, what about when they make a game about Zombies that isn’t premised on their violent extermination? Can they make a Zombie Friendly game? Probably not: A dash of kitchen simulation, a smattering social elements and [...]

Capcom has a long and, ahem, proud history of selling slight variations or even full remakes of the same blasted Anti-Zombie games to their customers. For example, ‘Resident Evil’ was remade numerous times; as a director’s cut, as a complete remake for the Gamecube, itself later ported to the Wii, and ports with varying amounts [...]

Seriously; it’s just as the post title says. A female police officer, allegedly doing counter-terror work, plods flat-footedly around a ship shooting unarmed Differently Animated civilians in the back: Never once in this gameplay trailer do the Differently Animated show the least sign of hostility; it’s police brutality, plain and simple. Outrageous! What’s next, rounding [...]

‘Resident Evil’ has been around for a long time now, and for some reason the series continues to sell very well year after year, despite having characters with all the depth of a birdbath and all the appeal of a rancid ham sandwich. Upcoming offense against reason ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ shows that the more things [...]
