Not just in use as our URL shortener, ZomCo is a new film from Ash Tidball which asks the questions about after the zombie apocalypse, what would we do? How would we get back on track?

The film premieres this Thursday at the Odeon Manchester, UK and we may bring you a review not long after.

Zombie Wasteland Goners is a new, free game being developed by Jason Ozubko. It is an online zombie board game of survival and betrayal. The game will be played by 4 players who take turns roaming the zombie wasteland, killing undead and sabotaging each other.

Every player will be randomly assigned a secret mission and tasks at the start of every game, and so every time you play you will be given new motivations and aims. Sometimes you’ll be trying to keep your best friend alive, and other times you’ll be trying to get him killed. Sometimes you’ll be desperately seeking the chopper and escape, and other times you’ll be trying to detonate the nuclear power plant and end it all. Still other times you’ll be ready to give up, become a zombie, and start killing your former friends.

ZWG is still very early in it’s development with a public alpha to come later in the year but drawing on inspirations such as Zombies!!! and Dead Rising as well as gameplay modelled on the excellent X-COM series it’s sure to be fun. However, it needs your help!

Jason is currently looking for sprite artists as well as card artists, so if you think you can help contact him here.

“The Dead Must Die” is a new comedy/horror web series set after the inevitable ‘Zombie Apocalypse’, launching today as an Official DailyMotion web series.

There are 7 zombie fueled episodes, which will be appearing once a week for the next 7 weeks.

It follows two video game geeks, Steve (Stephen Russell) and other Steve (Jonny Helm) as they navigate through the wild terrain of their long awaited (and often discussed) zombie apocalypse.

Unfortunately, neither of them is really prepared for the reality of the situation…

Through blizzards, anti-zombie hate mobs, sand-eating, creepy nameless ninja chicks, crossbows, and moms, our heroes shall venture forth into this new world, where there is only one thing they can be certain of: that the dead must die!

From its beginnings as an in-character Twitter account dealing with the zombie apocalypse, The Dead Must Die has developed into a full grown monster series with the aid of its award winning creator Matthew Snyman and Digital Media Producer Alex Barkaloff (Lionsgate) and of course the lovely folks at DailyMotion.

Each episode has original art designed by a group of select illustrators from around the world, and will be available for download each week.

You can find out more at The Dead Must Die’s tumblr blog or follow them on Twitter.

What happens when you squeeze an innovative (if flawed) Xbox game onto a mobile device, remove everything that made it innovative and have to put up with terrible controls? Dead Rising Mobile of course!

Dead Rising mobile will have no psycho fights, no escort missions, none of the improvements from Dead Rising 2 like combining weapons and from the looks of things no picture taking or story. So, eh, what’s the point?

Well, Capcom have added Twitter and Facebook :|

If you die, you can send a code out to Twitter and Facebook and if your friends find you they can bring you back to life with no penalty. Nothing more fun than waiting half an hour to play a game again.

As you can tell, I think this looks terrible and will be absolutely no fun, however there’s still time for things to change before it’s Q4 release, so I’ll not completely condemn it.

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going back to play Dead Rising 2.

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.

In anticipation of the October 5th release for both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 DLC, The Sacrifice, Valve have released this short trailer.

The new campaign will be released for free on PC but Xbox owners will have to fork out 500MSP for it.

Oh Bill, we will miss you. Don’t forget to check out the comic leading up to the DLC here.

Quality animated fan made title sequence for the upcoming TV adaptation of The Walking Dead is almost certain to be better than the actual one they use in the show.

Still, only a month to go until the show airs, so we’ll reserve judgement until then.

Part 2 of the 4 part Left 4 Dead comic is now up on the official L4D Blog and things aren’t getting any better for our survivors.

Starting to flesh out the back stories of the characters and world the new DLC had better live up to the promise of finally doing more than just shooting zombies. Not that we don’t enjoy it.

Despite featuring the most lacklustre 3D this side of Clash of the Titans, Resident Evil: Afterlife managed to rack up the worldwide #1 box office last week and with so much money just waiting to be made it shouldn’t come as any surprise that another sequel is going to be made.

Speaking to New York magazine Milla Jovovich said

This new Resident Evil is the first one to ever open at No. 1 worldwide. It’s the biggest movie in the franchise, so we’re definitely going to make another one

Apparently though, this time it will be up to the fans to tell them what we want to see, with Milla going on to add

We’ve been talking to a lot of fans on Twitter and stuff, so it’s probably going to be one of the first movies where we really talk to fans to see what they want, and what characters they want to see. It’s going to be a more interactive process.

Can we tell them to stop? Still, more Milla and Ali Larter ain’t so bad and Sienna Guillory is back as Jill, so I suppose I could go see it, you know, for you guys.
