Last post for 2010, more news and quips from GZ in 2011!

Today's GZ post is a special one. Not only does it ring in the holidays in a style only myself and my loyal readers can enjoy, but it is also the last post of 2010. Next year I will keep reporting on whatever I deem necessary and worthy of being mentioned here and hopefully I get more feedback from my readers as well as more content contributions. I was considering a name change of the blog too, but honestly I can't think of anything better unless I change it to "Games and Zombies" or something. In any case, I won't be winning awards for blog titles and I am okay with that. I do have some gaming news to pass along, but before I do I wanted to say how hilarious today's picture is. Back in 2008 a guy named Sean Bieri released a series of these on the net and I just found them. It's amazing what turns up when you take two seemingly unrelated topics and google search them together. Marvelous. I put a few of his images in the midst of today's post. There is a funny zombie xmas movie I found that is embedded after the news to top it all off. Enjoy and Happy Holidays from Game Zombie!

Da' News

Valve announced, via its blog, that Left 4 Dead community created content is coming to the Xbox360! Previously this was for PC only, but valve is going to pick the best of the best and make it available for 360 players too! Bravo!

Also the moment we have all been waiting for....more Left 4 Dead plushies! A perfect stocking stuffer!

So Dead Space 2 is set for a February 1st release date in  2011. To get your appetite wet the demo was released on Xbox Live yesterday and to get you drooling some more, here are a few videos.





So Red Dead Redemption won the VGA for 2010 Game of the Year and for good reason. I actually ended up purchasing a copy for $30 on Black Friday and I am glad I did. This game will have so much replay value for years to come. For those that missed out, you can get if from Xbox games on demand over Live. $60 though.

Little Big Planet 2 goes gold for January 18th 2011. This game is going to be viral. It will certainly sell more PS3 systems. I love the first one but I barely scratched the surface of what is possible in it. The sequel will blow our minds.

Destructoid posted a preview of Uncharted 3 and all I can say is I want it now. This will be yet another super feather in the Sony PS3 hat.

Well CoD: Black Ops has officially broke 1 Billion in sales. A stunning achievement that will only get bigger. The first DLC dubbed "First Strike" for Black Ops is due to hit Feb 1 2011. No word on pricing yet. The pack will have 4 new multi-player maps and 1 new zombie map. The weekend before will be free multiplayer weekend on Live for those few out there with a silver membership.

So that is the news. Here is the zombie xmas movie I promised you and one more pic from the Bieri collection. See you in 2011!

Zombie News No. 30

Michael Myers, from the famous 'Halloween' movie and its umpteen sequels and two fantastic remakes by aptly named filmmaker/rocker Rob Zombie, has in my mind always been a bit of a zombie character. He has all the qualities: Nearly impossible to kill, no emotion, doesn't eat food, kills anyone who crosses his path, hardly makes a sound, has the same blank look on his face, and I could go on and on. He is more like a zombie than a human in my opinion. What do you think?

So I haven't posted in about a week. Two reasons, 1) some family matters sprung up, 2) nothing really to post about that I thought couldn't wait. I mean really this rest of the year will be a bit busy for all of us what with holidays, and lets face it the best stretch of gaming releases till the end of the year. Tis the gaming season where we play in our free time away from massive feasts of food and healthy doses of family gatherings. Any good gaming zombie can appreciate more games and food to boot. I know I do! So here is what a I scavenged from the game news.

Da News

Star Wars the Force Unleashed II hit store shelves today and the reviews are in. News flash its a mediocre game. Dtoid and Joystiq give it a 5 and a 6.

The Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare disc that includes other RDR goodies is set to release Nov.23

Just for us game zombies and to celebrate Halloween, MS released a zombie costume for your avatar. Neat!

There is actually a CoD: Black Ops edition Jeep Wrangler. Go figure.

Treyarch put the hammer down on Quickscoping in CoD: Black Ops. Dtoid has the report. I say good. Even playing field is funner anyway.

Finally, Dead Rising 2 Solider of Fortune DLC pack is available. Wanna look like Rambo and slay zombies? Go for it.

That's it. I told you  I scavenged for news. One tidbit from my own source, I beat DR2 and really enjoyed my time doing it. Look for a review somewhere down the line from me. I only wish I could capture my own screen shots to show you. Maybe a mini-review later this week. Next on my play list....Black Ops!

RDR Undead Nightmare Trailer!

Read the IGN Preview here.

I am CHOMPING AT THE BIT for this one. :)

Zombie News No. 29

If ever there were such an organization like the one depicted above I certainly would be a proud member of it. The primal man within me would relish the idea of hunting zombies. I gotta say that given the gamut of zombie types out there I would be most interested in hunting the zombies from the movie I Am Legend. They are just plain mean. Anywho, there is some news to cover so I will get things started.

Da' News

Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare DLC due to hit October 26th. I really miss playing RDR. The superb add-ons that Rockstar has released are just making me miss it more. I will be securing this title before long methinks. Especially since now they are combining zombies with old west weaponry! And zombie bears!
Check out this gallery of pictures.

The PS3 exclusive top-down zombie shooter Dead Nation will have online and offline co-op. This is a game I may check out depending on its reception by critics and the like. Seems quirky to me.

Joystiq posted their review of Medal of Honor and give it a guarded high-score (4/5) based largely on the single-player campaign. Multi-player was a mixed bag. They also posted the reviews from other sites, which again showed that the scores are primarily on par with the campaign portion.

The fine folks at Co-Optimus reviewed the Playstion Move. I am really skeptical on the whole motion controller wave, but the people at Sony look to have it down pat.

The Dead Rising 2 Psycho Skills Pack released this week. Go get it! It's only like $2. Fun!

Check this hot new CoD Black Ops Trailer!


A great little piece of writing for introducing the just released demo for Star Wars: Force Unleashed II. Hysterical! Go get the demo.

Finally a native application of Netflix for the PS3 is being released on Oct 18th. It manages to one up the Xbox by adding the coveted search feature to the interface. Brilliant.

Ok so with the news out of the way I can add that I will be reviewing Dead Rising 2 soon. I have had a blast playing it so far. Keep on keeping on! Please comment below and let me know what you think. Til'next time.

Zombie News No. 27

Ok so I am going to hit the game news running here and mister zombie in the pic above (taken from the cover art of George A. Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" movie) is going to keep an eye on things for me while I keep playing Dead Space. Heh.

It's a bit blurry, but you get the idea.

Dead Rising 2 to include Frank West as co-op playable character - How awesome is that? DR2 is shaping up to be a huge game. Bigger than I think most of us anticipated.

Halo Reach is shipping tomorrow and the reviews are in. IGN, Dtoid, and the rest of them all say the same thing.Basically this is Bungie's masterpiece. A hallmark of FPS gaming. A must have. So what ya waiting for?

Speaking of reviews, Spider Man Shattered Dimensions is out in stores and reviews are mixed among sites.

Dead Space 2 Co-op video alert! - I am playing the first title and I love it. Can't wait for the sequel.



Dead Space 2 multi-player Preview from Joystiq.

Booyah!

Left 4 Dead's new comic for "The Sacrifice" DLC releases part 1 tomorrow. - Great wallpapers! Like this one.

Finally, a Red Dead Redemption sequel has hit the rumor mill after an employee for a service provider of Rockstar Games let the name slip. Co-Optimus has a bit more info for you. What would a RDR sequel look like for you? Hit up the comments!

Stay here for more news!

Scott Pilgrim, Monday Night Combat Reviewed, Red Dead DLC is released and more

Okay two great downloadable games have releases this week and I already picked the one I will be getting. Have you?

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World released today and Joystiq posted their review today giving it much love and respect. Clearly we have entered the future of 8-bit retro gaming (huh?).

Monday Night Combat for Xbox Live is releasing tomorrow and I think its going to be a cult favorite. Once again Joystiq and IGN get their rocks of on it. I gotta tell you this game looks mighty fun for us LAN party junkies.

Also you might have know about some Red Dead Redemption DLC being released soon. Yeah well that day has arrived for the first ,the Legends and Killers pack, in a planned series of DLC for the epic western saga. It released today and includes the new tomahawk weapon. I most excited about this rather explosive fellow. I really need to buy this game.

Want to kill some time and have fun at work? Load up "Worm Food" a game that puts you in control of a worm that tunnels under the earth and terrorizes a primitive village. You can't help but think of the classic "Tremors" movie when playing Worm Food. Love those quirky movies.

Finally, this tidbit of news is great. A boy at a zoo drops his Nintendo DSi XL into a Gorilla exhibit and funny things happen. The best part is that after the ape does a number on the DSi one of the trainers returns it to him and it still worked! What a great opportunity for a PR rep from Nintendo!

More updates as deem worthy. Stay tuned zombie peeps.

Zombie News No. 24 + Name Suggestion Box

I bet the inventor of the Successories brand never thought that his idea of putting a great picture on top of a word that describes it, and then putting a little quip underneath the whole thing explaining why he chose that word, would ever take off like it did. Wonder what happened to that dude? Besides getting rich? The pic to the left here is what I always envisioned my basement looking like. I definitely have more work to do in that area!
So I have something for all my readers to ponder over. My blog is called Game Zombie and I honestly had no idea about the other Game Zombie sites out there. Go ahead and google it and you will see what I mean. There is even a facebook page for some other site that is run by a guy in PA. I love that people think Game Zombie is a cool name, but I value originality. So here is what I want you all to help me with. I don't like to follow the crowd and Game Zombie is a great description for this site, but now that I see these others out there I have to ask what other name could I use? Leave your suggestions in the comments below and in 2 weeks I will take your suggestions and a few my own and we will all vote on it. On to the news!

Game News

The Red Dead Redemption patch is live. Dtoid reports. Of all the bugs they fixed I would have left this one: Occasionally, the player would not recover from being drunk.

Batman Arkham City officially announced! This has been big news lately as most critics gave the first game high marks. I just beat it (late show) and I will have a mini-review up this weekend. I like the image on the cover of GI. With Catwoman being pictured here it has got the Co-Optimus guys nerding out on the premise that co-op could be in this next installment. 


Ever hear of a game called Monday Night Combat? Well its a very well put together TF2-type game where you will have several classes to choose from to take into an arena for battle against another team. I think it shows alot of promise and being a downloadable game $15 it has a ton of replay value in it. Here is a great walk-through from the developers as they go through the game and show you that its all about a piece of bacon doing high-five with a shotgun shell. 





Remember how many records Modern Warfare 2 broke last year? Yeah well Activision is saying this year's Call of Duty: Black Ops is on pace to smash that record. IGN reports.  I am pumped up to play the game, but if it ends up being another glitchy multi-player mess I will be back on the boycott bus. I can already see the map-packs for this one costing $20. Oh and by the way, Wii owners will get their wiimote hands on this one too.

Codemasters announces yet another Operation Flashpoint game. This one is called Red River. According to the Dtoid report, this one is gonna have 4 player drop-in drop-out co-op with better AI all around. I was a huge fan of the original on PC, but mediocre showings afterwards have kept me from going back. This looks to be going down the co-op road like Ghost Recon is and that could be a good thing. Will keep an eye on this as it gets closer to a 2011  release date. 


Cool Stuff

Dtoid had a link to this guys site that did some web-comics on Red Dead Redemption that, provided you played the game before, are just downright hilarious. If haven't played RDR it's still funny, but not as much. I highly recommend you check it out. I went through all of them that have been done so far.

Remember the funny looking heads you could slam on a zombie's head in Dead Rising? I found out today its called a Servbot head! Even better news is that Capcom is selling some! No not the ones you can wear, which would be cool to use as a prank on someone, but as a bobble-head! Dtoid has the scoop along with this pic. 




Lastly, something to do with zombies (imagine that). I found a fellow blogger site and very talented artist named Rob Sacchetto who creates rather detailed and instantly mesmerizing zombie portraits of Hollywood celebrities. This one below is a disturbing version of Tiger Woods. Brilliant I say. Check out his site and pay your respects to a fellow zombie lover. Till next time!

Zombie News No. 22

If you haven't watched Zombieland yet and you are a self-professed Zombie lover (or hater) then take 98 minutes and watch it. Great flick with some good one-liners that you can quote all day long. I especially like the credits in the beginning of the film. The zombie stripper and the fire zombie are just classic. The rules that our main character Columbus refers to throughout the movie are also funny and memorable when played out in certain scenes. I have yet to watch another film about zombie-like folks called "The Crazies" but I have it on my to-do list. Also I was recently told (head nod Mr. Scott) to pick up a book called "World War Z" by Max Brooks. It's a collection of stories about a fictional world-wide zombie pandemic. I hear very good things about it. Now on to the news!

Game News

Just about everytime you jump into Red Dead Redemption for some multiplayer fun in a Free Roam session, where (as the title suggests) you can roam around freely with the other players, you get shot in the face rather immediately death-match style. Well Rockstar is aiming to fix that wagon with a new patch coming soon.

Have you heard of Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions yet? No? Well start paying attention because our friendly neighborhood web slinger is looking good in his next title.

Joystiq has a preview of Dead Space 2 and from where I am sitting....I still need to play the original! This is also looking purdy good though.

Gears of War 3 is gonna be epic, but the boys in development are letting the players decide the fate of in-game character Clayton Carmine in the story.

Will players let him live or die? One thing is sure. Carmine brings some serious grub-ass-kicking skills to the table.

Switching gears (pun intended) to another franchise, our favorite bad boy Jedi from The Force Unleashed is returning to consoles for a sequel, but just today Gamestop announced a new pre-order bonus that if friggin sweet. Mainly because of the character it unlocks and the story possibilities behind it.

Here is the picture of said character and the description that follows:

"In the cloning facilities of Kamino, Darth Vader created a warrior of unparalleled strength and power by combining the genetic material of Darth Maul, former apprentice of Sith Lord Darth Sidious, with his own apprentice, Starkiller. The resulting aberrant clone possessed traits from both warriors, but the crude fusion of two disparate Force users quickly produced physical and mental instabilities that led to the unfortunate clone’s destruction. For a brief time he struck fear into the hearts of all who faced him, even Lord Vader himself." His name? Maulkiller. How wicked is that?

I was a Transformers nerd when I was a kid. I have the new game in my queue, and this trailer for the DLC that is releasing next week has me pumped to get my paws on it.

Other News

Some good news for PS3 owners and Netflix. A new disc-less version of the service will be releasing for PS3 in the coming months. Putting the disc in every time you want to watch a flick is just crappy. Problem solved (soon).

And perhaps the most interesting news of all, Dtoid reported a story about how Microsoft had it in their master plan to have cross-platform play for all titles between PC and 360. Apparently many moons past it was nixed because....ready....steady....console gamers couldn't hang. Yup. Apparently tests on the idea revealed that PC gamers "destroyed" console gamers every time.

Thoughts? Comment below! Till next time!

Zombie News No. 19

So I was thinking the other day, what games are coming out in the next year or so that are going to be absolute must play titles? (A game zombie's brain is constantly thinking about his next game.) The first one that comes to mind is Portal 2. That will be a shoe in for me and my gaming appetite. Alas, Portal 2 is slated for a 2011 release so what will hold me over? Well I would love to finish RDR, Alan Wake, and then get my hands on NCAA Football, Transformers, Dead Rising 2, Crackdown 2 and Naughty Bear. All in time for Ghost Recon: Future Solider in early 2011. What do you think? What games are on your zombie mind?

Now for the news!

- Red Dead Redemption Co-op pack "Outlaws to the End" Released. It's free! I will be playing this weekend. I gotta finish this beast!
- Portal 2 Preview. This is a good read. CAUTION - Drool puddles known to form under reader.
- As a bonus Joystiq got a Portal 2 Co-op Preview. More drool here.
- Ghost Recon: Future Solider Preview. Once again Ubisoft is set to amaze us with its attention to detail.
- Capcom to release Dead Rising 2: Case Zero XBLA prior to August 31. This is strange to me. More zombie content is good, but why the filler? No one cares about the story!
- Review: Dtoid gives Transformers War for Cybertron an 8/10. I had feeling this game would be solid. It's on my list. Autobots, roll-out!
- Naughty Bear Launch Trailer - Zombie teddy bears!!


- Bobby Kotick (Activision CEO) wants Call of Duty subscription service. They try to dress it up, but I can read between the lines. If this goes the wrong way, massive protests will ensue.
- Microsoft FINALLY announces a family Xbox Live plan. $99 for 4 accounts! This is perfect!
- Speaking of Live, how about a 12 month membership for only $35? Buy.com has the hook-up.
- Joystiq gives us visual comparison of new 360 vs. old and start pondering a name for the new 360's overheating prevention mechanism. Oh and Xbox prices get slashed.

That's the news....no go forth and devour said games.

Zombie News No. 18

Ok so yeah its been awhile since my last post to GZ, but hey having only a handful of hours of sleep every night to feed your growing kid can re-arrange your priorities. How did I make time for this one? I guess I am adjusting to the lifestyle of being a parent. Yeah that sounds good! So alot has happened in the last 11 days of gaming. For starters, we saw the release of Blur, ModNation Racers, Alpha Protocol, and a few other titles. The best bits of news aren't the new titles (which aren't any good according to recent reviews), but the DLC being released for multiple games as well as a few rumors and announcements that hit. Hit the links to read up on the latest.

Game News

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 gets another map pack from the grave of IW. The Resurgency Pack has 5 ALL NEW maps and retails for another $15. Xbox gets the exclusive release until July. Get it here.

Alan Wake gets a third DLC pack this year. Wow Remedy three episodes within a year? Cool.

Gears of War 3 screenshots are making Dtoid drool. Me too! It's been far too long since I curb stomped a locust solider.

Red Dead Redemption Co-op Pack June 22nd. OMG I can't wait for this. Gamefly will never get their copy of RDR back from me!

Reviews of Super Mario Galaxy are stellar. IGN, Dtoid, and others are giving it perfect scores. I still need to finish the first one.

Naughty Bear Pre-order on Amazon = Freddy Krubear outfit. Is chopping up plush bears going to be fun? Maybe!

His Airness Michael Jordan will be appearing on the cover of NBA2k11 this year. It's gonna be a tough battle this year between EA and 2k for B-ball supremacy on the consoles. EA's new shooting and dribble controls look sick! According to the latest issue of OXM, ""If the left stick is your body, then the right stick serves as your hands and the ball. Bouncing the ball behind our back, for instance, required rolling the stick down and around - the same movement our hands would make to pull off the trick."

Ubisoft teasing another Assassins Creed game? This looks legit.

New Call of Duty Black Ops Co-Op will be separate from the main campaign. I see a pattern here.

Cool Stuff and Other News

PS3 Owners will finally get some coveted HBO programming.

Gamestop will be selling DLC in-store soon. Why not just download it from Live or PSN as usual?
Play Worms 2 with the developers this month!


Lastly, Valve canceled their Portal 2 press event for E3. Why? Well its a surprise. Instead of the event taking place in the Regal Theater it will be replaced with a surprise. Hmm...Valve is crafty. I think the part that made most of the journalists antsy is the way the email was written. Here is what it said: (source-Dtoid)

Subject: A note from Aperture Science

Dear Subject Name Here,

Aperture Science is pleased to inform you that we have partnered with Valve to announce the gala CANCELLATION of the June 14 Portal 2 event at the Regal Theater. The event will be replaced by a surprise. And even though the cancellation of the event certainly counts as a surprise, we are pleased to further announce that the cancellation of the event is not THE surprise. However, per International treaties regarding the definition of the word "surprise", of which both Aperture Science and Valve are signatories, the time, date and content of the actual surprise will only become available as you experience the surprise.

If you'd like to ask fruitless questions about the E3 Portal 2 surprise or, more fruitfully, schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve's Special Envoy to Surprises, Doug Lombardi.

Thank you for

PS: The surprising record scratch is also not the surprise.

Now Playing: Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption - Xbox360

When playing RDR I am completely immersed in the western world and culture that is such a staple to any western movie or novel. I don't frequently watch the old westerns that play from time to time on cable, but I have always had a special place reserved for the marshals, bounty hunters, and outlaws that have made the American-era such a draw for the entertainment industries. When I caught wind of RDR and its impending awesomeness that has been 5 years in the making, I was giddy and reserved at the same time. Other western-themed games have made their way to gaming consoles without much substance to back up the richness of the era they were based in. Red Dead Redemption not only fixes all of that, it takes the whole genre to a level that has to be played to be believed.

That being said...this game f***ing rocks! If you have read any of the reviews out there you should now by now that there is so much crap to do in this game its amazing. Everything about the game is amazing so far. My friends and I did find a few glitches that Rockstar is working on, but other than that I have no complaints. I don't expect to be reviewing this game any time soon since it will most likely take me weeks to complete. Talking 25+ hours in the single player campaign. Whew! Don't even think about putting the controller down after you finish the story because multiplayer is a whole other game in and of itself. I will be riding down this dusty trail for a loooooong time.

See you online!

Zombie News No. 17

Game Zombie is only 20 more posts away from hitting 100? Glorious! Reader Ominous Juan sent me some zombie related news.
Allow me to introduce to you Zombie "Bob" from http://www.zombietargets.net/. He is one of a handful of paper targets available for target shooting from the online supplier. Normally when going to the gun range one would find simple silhouette targets or the typical bad guy holding a gun cut out. I think having these as an alternative is brilliant! This way at least you have some sort of practice shooting at the undead before they invade your property. Speaking of shooting, I can't wait to start shooting bandits and wildlife in Red Dead Redemption. Should be in my mailbox today when I get home! Now for some news!



Game News

Rush to your local gamestore! New releases abound! Alan Wake, Red Dead Redemption, Split/Second, and Prince of Persia are on store shelves today.

Ghost Recon Future Solider Delayed to 1Q 2011. Sucks, but I'm not surprised.

Split/Second Review at Dtoid

New Add-on for Splinter Cell Conviction. Bunch of new maps for co-op and hunter missions, new duds, and more.

If you want to stay in the Tom Clancy mood, there are two more titles in the works. Seriously? Talk about milking the cash cow, but it works!


IGN reviews the new Prince of Persia game and gave it a solid 8.0. Not bad, but I have had enough of the prince and his shenanigans. Count me out.


Cool Stuff



Before loading up Alan Wake check out the prequel webisodes online or on your Xbox. Creepy stuff.

Ready for Call of Duty Black Ops? This trailer might help make up your mind.



Well stick all that in your pipe and smoke it! Does this new CoD title look like a blockbuster? Doesn't look shockingly familiar to MW2? Yeah it does. My hope is that it will be better. Game on peeps!

Red Dead Redemption should be in your sights.

For those of you who just cannot wait for more Red Dead Redemption information before playing it this week...IGN has you covered. A wonderful review has RDR garnering an editor's choice award on 9.7 rating. That's pretty impressive. My Game Informer mag gave it a 9.75 which pretty much assures me that this game is top drawer and a must play for any gamer. Reviews aside I am personally chomping at the bit to get my paws on this one. The pic to the right is just one reason why I am going to have a blast playing RDR and then telling stories about my exploits in bear hunting, train robbing, and saloon shootouts around the coffee pot at work and at home. Taking it a step further, this is gonna be the game that gets me into recording gameplay videos. Yes, an obligatory YouTube channel will be forthcoming. See you on the trail pardners!

For the impatient types out there (like me) here is the video review straight from IGN.

Zombie News 11th Edition

The picture to the left is priceless and true milestone in zombie gaming. I am of course talking about Deadrising for the Xbox 360. This sleeper hit was one of the very first games I bought for my 360. Deadrising featured the slow shambling zombie instead of the psycho fast ones in Left 4 Dead or the movie 28 Days Later. The scene depicted to the left, while being very ominous looking, was escapable believe it or not. What isn't escapable is the release of Splinter Cell: Conviction on Tuesday 4/13. Oh yeah. What also isn't escapable, is my review of God of War III. I am nearing the end and with a few more hours of play time I will be ready to share it with you. On to the news!

Apple iPhone OS 4.0 will have Game Center. A social networking platform for the iPhone/iPad that will have achievements, leaderboards, and matchmaking. Look out Nintendo and Sony.

Closing Chomp

I am really excited about the new iPhone OS. Gizmodo and Engadget have some great in-depth previews of what the new OS will entail. This next week of blogging should get pretty exciting as I should have a review for God of War 3 up and a first-impressions of Splinter Cell. It's gonna be fun! Game Zombie reader Mark should is still plodding through Final Fantasy XIII and that game is like 3 discs or something. Insane. I don't have the patience and at this rate, the review might come in sometime later this year! Well until next time. Later Zombies!!

Red Dead Redemption: Rockstar's New Gem?

I just caught the new trailer of Red Dead Redemption over at IGN and boy this just keeps looking better and better. I am very excited about the possibilities of this one. Watching a good western movie is good for the soul. It always has a moral at the end and the bad guys always lose. Everyone has a favorite old western movie, mine is Tombstone with Unforgiven being a close second. Rockstar Studios of GTA IV fame is aiming to put right in the saddle of an old western world. While being a bad ass in the old west is not as glamorous as being a super soldier in the future its one of those old traditions that never dies and always comes back for more. Personally, this ZoMbiE is right at home shooting gunmen with lethal precision while riding a horse or ducked down behind some wooden barrels. I attached two videos below that are definitely worth watching. The first one is a sort of montage about the lawmen featured in RDR. The second one is about the weapons that's where I really got giddy. The gunplay looks spectacular and the physics seem so real. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think. This game is releasing for PS3 and Xbox 360 April 27th.
