Starcraft II Review, Free Zombie iPhone App, and that's about it.

Yup. Not much going on in the gaming world that I find interesting. Hence the Dead Rising 2 pic above. Not that I am drinking, but I would be if I could. There is a mess of games releasing this month  like:

Mafia II (Xbox/PS3) 8/24
Madden 11 (Xbox/PS3) 8/10
Metroid Other M (Wii) 8/31
Kane and Lynch 2 (Xbox) 8/17

And a list of good XBLA/PSN games coming out as well.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (XBLA) 8/25 (PSN) 8/10
Castevania: Harmony of Despair (XBLA) 8/2
Shank (XBLA) 8/25 (PSN) 8/24
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (XBLA) 8/18
Monday Night Combat (XBLA) 8/10

For those of you with iPhones, there is a wicked cool FREE app you can download and play called Zombie Shock. Search for it in the App Store and check it out. It's a great little app and for free its even better.
Other than that. Here is a Starcraft II Review from Destructoid. Which is topping the sales charts in the UK by the way. So until next time peeps! Keep gaming and keep it here for the best news. Oh and BTW if anyone is interested I can post a mini-review of some games I am catching up on with my PS3. I just beat Batman Arkham Asylum and next on my list is Uncharted 2 and Infamous. That is of course if GameFly doesn't decide to send me Alan Wake or Transformers first which will have a review when I finish it. So if you want to know what those games were like and what I would rate them....leave a comment and let me know.

Later!

100 Posts!! Zombie News No. 23

Unnhhnn? 100 posts you say?

I can hardly believe it. 100 posts later and I am still here posting my heart away. Who knew I had that kind of staying power. I haven't given up on my dream of having an interactive community of gamers and zombie lovers visiting and commenting on my site/blog. Eventually, I will get off my tush and buy a domain name. For now, I am just trying to get more readers. Baby steps right? Or better yet un-dead shambling steps!

So as any dreary-eyed and caffeine induced PC gamer knows by now StarCraft II made its much anticpated release unto the masses on Tuesday. A fellow blogger who goes by JB has posted his intial impressions on the game, and Joystiq has posted a full review on it already. For you hold-outs, Kmart is running a $20 off sale that ends tomorrow.

Alan Wake has still not graced my 360 console, but for those that actually bought the game you got some free DLC content ready to take you back into Bright Falls. Go download the "The Signal" from the marketplace now!

Destructoid is giving us a reason to be excited about Madden NFL 11. In the way of a contest which includes  a NEW XBOX360 SLIM!! Simple contest (and fun) to enter. Just find a public place and strike a pose. Hell run a few plays with your buddies in the middle of the shopping mall. Best pic/video wins it all. Details here. Oh and for us skeptics (Aye!) on yearly reboots of said game the demo is out for your abusing.

I went back and read the July OXM report on Call of Duty: Black Ops this morning. I am so stoked to get my zombie paws on it! The highlights from the report detail the single-player campaign which sounds amazing with everything from flying an SR-71 blackbird, sneaking up on VietCong in man-made tunnels, and using a crossbow (with optional explosive tip arrows) to silently take out enemies. It's a must read and will get your heart pumping with just the thought of it! Oh and by the way, the graphics in this game look to surpass any other CoD game before it. With screens like the one below we could all be in for some visceral and stunning imagery. 

Time for some fun and interesting facts! GameStop has acquired the online game site Kongregate. For those that don't know, Kongregate is chock full of HIGH-quality flash games for you to enjoy. Case in point the game Mastermind. Not sure what the retailer has in mind for this acquisition but I am sure greedy executives are behind it. 

The beloved Major Nelson from Xbox Live gave a link on a recent tweet that is actually a pretty interesting read for the techie in all of us. Ever wanted to know how it is Rockstar can tell you how many pedestrians you ran over in GTA IV? It's a bit of a high-level read so if you don't have an IT background, you might skip it. Still, its fun to know how developers get all of these cool game stats!

Finally, Joystiq came across some plushies that are just downright adorable and cool. Portal 2 themed plushies no less! Here you can buy a GLaDos emotional spheres that repeat funny quips and phrases from the Portal game. I checked and it seems every nerd on the internet purchased one so you will have to wait for more to become available. For $45 I think I can wait, barely.

Until next time! 

StarCraft II - Ghosts of the Past

Yeah I know this trailer has been out since yesterday, but I just saw it and my jaw dropped. So while I search for it on the floor go ahead and watch this trailer. Then look for your jawbone on the ground.
