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 a relative dearth of Zombies (called ‘Ghouls’ in the Fallout universe) in the early hours of ‘New Vegas’, we’ve seen a number of fascinating portrayals of the Zombie population in the game.

For example, in ‘New Vegas’ you have a Zombie religious leader (ok, it’s a bit of a cult, but not an evil one) named Jason Bright. The complexity and nuance afforded this character, not to mention the idea of Zombie religious factions themselves, is highly unusual in our blood-drenched Anti-Zombie media.

Also noteworthy, and making me particularly giddy today, is a Ghoul Super-Scientist adventurer by the name of Keely.

Part Indiana Jones, part Dr. Venture, all Zombie. Outstanding.

As I said earlier, a full review will appear eventually, but it’s hard to see how anything could derail this Zombie Friendly train. Bethesda has apparently done it again!
