New Game Modes

There are new games modes in the Black Ops 2 Zombies mode. One of them is the new “Custom” mode that allows you to set the rules and difficulty of a Zombies game.

New Maps

The Black Ops 2 Zombies mode has four maps to choose from. The four maps are Green Run – Bus Depot, Green Run – Farm, Green Run – Town, and Nuketown Zombies.

New Features

There are also some new features in the Black Ops 2 Zombies mode that make it more fun to play than the previous Zombies mode. It has a new Stats-tracking feature and improved Leaderboards. The matchmaking system is also improved so that you are teamed up with players that have the same skill levels as you when playing in public modes.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 had the most successful launch of any product in the history of products ($400 million on the first day). It’s no surprise the makers of COD, Activision and Treyarch, have taken the same type of game play that was lauded by critics and gamers and added a little something special to it. How could they improve on one of most popular games of all time? Easy. Add even more zombies!

We’re a bit behind with covering this Star Trek meets zombies book from Quirk Books but needless to say we’ll have a full review of it coming soon.

For those of you who don’t know already

This sci-fi/zombie/comedy/adventure follows a group of rag-tag Trekkies getting together for the fifth annual GulfCon (billed as the “largest Starfleet Convention in the western Gulf Coast region”).

Our heroes are dressed in homemade uniforms and armed with prop phasers-but soon find themselves defending their hotel and convention center against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Suddenly, all of their useless knowledge about particle physics and old Star Trek episodes has genuine real-world applications! And while hotel employees and regular civilians are dying left and right, our Trekkies summon strength and courage by emulating their favorite starship-voyaging characters.

Packed with hundreds of gags referencing Star Trek, Star Wars, comic books, and fan conventions, Night of the Living Trekkies reads like the strange lovechild of Galaxy Quest and Dawn of the Dead. Journey to the final frontier of zombie science-fiction satire!

and you can also check out the trailer here.

For a chance to win Night of the Living Trekkies just tell us:
Who would win in a fight, zombie Kirk or zombie Picard and why?

Winner will be chosen Monday 11th, standard terms and conditions we made up and amend as we want apply.
