We told you about this game before on the ZRC blog, but ‘All Zombies Must Die’ is currently being exhibited at PAX and there are new details available:

All Zombies Must Die is a twin-stick shooter where you and three friends sit around your living room (no online co-op yet, but it may be added later), grab a drink, and blast a few zombies together. Shooting zombies isn’t the only draw, however. There is a hilarious narrative tying all of the action together that got more than a few laughs out of me during my demo. The melee weapons have a charge attack that can lead to some funny moments (I got the “leatherface” combo for chainsawing through a group of brain-eaters), and as you go through the game, you’ll get the opportunity to upgrade your abilities so you can become a more fine-tuned undead destroyer. There’s also a crafting system that (as the name suggests) allows you to combine different materials into more powerful weapons — the flaming chainsaw is my favorite so far.

Yes, it’s another Anti-Zombie twin-stick shooter that will be available on the Xbox and PS3 for download… which has to be one of the most over-saturated markets imaginable by now. I’ve reviewed a few here on the blog already, and if you go looking through the Marketplace you can easily spot many, many more, all clamoring for a bit of your lucre.

What sets this game apart? Apparently it’s the sense of ‘humor’ it takes toward murdering the innocent virtual Differently Animated.

Why anyone finds that funny I do not claim to understand.

Anyway, ‘All Zombies Must Die’ will apparently be available this fall, so look for an angry, possibly expletive filled review then.

I’m just kidding; I won’t use expletives.

Probably.
