E3 2009 Zombie Roundup
The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is over for another year and so its time to round up all the Great Zombie Related Games Announced!
Undead Knights (PSP)
In Undead Knights you get to play all three members of a family who have made a deal with a demon - and can now turn people into, and control, zombies.
The Game looks Interesting and there has been blessed few games where you actually get to play as zombies - since the excellent Stubbs the Zombie.
I also like the promised mechanic of using your Zombie army to solve puzzles.
You can find a full preview at IGN here.
Zombie Apocalypse (PS3, XBOX 360)
A multiplayer game at heat, Zombie Apocalypse drops your characters (and your friends, if you have them) into a level - and you have to fight off/survive the oncoming hordes of the undead.
This game looks like good, wholesome and mindless fun. It actually reminds me of a lot of top down sprite shooters that I have played in the past - brought into the present day.
You can read a comprehensive review of this game here at Gamespot.
Left4Dead 2 (PC, XBOX 360)
Wow - Left4Dead 2! Valve is promising us more everything plus controversy.
“Featuring new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original with more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, and maps for Survival mode available at launch.”
I would just like to say a quick note to Valve: Take my money, go on, take it, It’s yours. it’s going to belong to you anyway.
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (Wii)
This actually looks really enjoyable.
You can find a full preview and screenshots here at Kombo.
Dead Rising 2 (PC, PS3, XBOX360)
I played the original Dead Rising a lot and wrote a very (to my standard) comprehensive review on the game.
I loved the game - despite its many faults (*cough* OTIS *cough*) and despite the fact that it was trying to give me a stress induced heart attack.
You can find a lot more information about it on its wiki page, and here is a gameplay trailer.
I can’t wait.
