The hot new Zombie commoditie everyone should be looking forward to is nearly here. And I can barely contain myself. This coming fall the wrath of the zombie shall be released in the form of a video game. This games title is “Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel without a Pulse”. According to the official website (http://www.stubbsthezombie.com) Stubbs was a traveling salesman during the depression. He was brutally murdered and buried in rural PA (in the long line of zombie heritage that we have). 26 years later Stubbs returns from his grave to find that a futuristic city has been built on his burial site, and thus he begins to wreak havoc, feasting on brains and recruiting his zombie kin.
The game will be available on Xbox, PC, and Mac this fall and it is looking to be every zombie fans dream. In the game you play as Stubbs, the loveable carrion, and you find yourself with lots of fun activities. During game-play you can devour your victim’s brains and transform them into zombie minions, you can drive vehicles and run those pesky humans down, multiples at a time. You can even rip off your hand and control it similar to the hand, “Thing”, from the Adams family. Your roaming appendage can also be used to control humans to turn on each other, allowing you to use their weapons against them. And finally the last, and maybe greatest trick Stubbs has up his sleeve is a dandy little trick to rip out one of his organs and use it as a grenade against his foes, throwing and having it explode in a cloud of green gastric acid.
The cinema graphics are some of the best I have seen, although some say the actual game graphics seem a bit lacking. I say “P’SHAW” to them and remind you that it is not the graphics that make the game, it is the game-play itself and the enjoyment one can gain from it. All in all the game seems to be one worthy of great anticipation from the masses. If you are a zombie fan, as I avidly am, I suggest it become a staple of your Zombie game collection and should sit right next to your Resident Evil and House of the Dead Games on the shelf.

Sarah, if you find this game interesting and like playing as characters rather than shoot'em'ups I would suggest you look into some RPGs(role-playing games) like the final fantasy series or the Zelda series.
Nelson,I've played numbers of rpgs, D&D being one of the more prominent ones, as well as shadowrun, call of cthulhu, Vampire the masq, Werewolf, and numerous games made by me and my friends (like a d10 Zombie game). Currently I am DMing an evil campaign in the KU roleplaying club. Your welcome to join us, we meet on tuesdays at 8pm in Old main lobby.
oh, it's not the title of a game, it's just a Dnd game, but all the PCs are evil.
