Zombie Command

ZC Barry has been playing the beta version of Zombie Smash for the last couple of weeks (look for his name in the credits!) and, despite throwing tantrums when the zombies over-run his house, has been enjoying it immensely.

If you look closely you can see the app icon in the image for the Zombie Command app.

ZombieSmash! is a Survival Comedy game for the iPhone and iPod touch, featuring undead-themed castle defense and entertaining, physics-based gameplay. The game casts players as Joey, a lone survivor pit against a herd of writhing, unrelenting zombies – to defeat the undead masses, players must use their fingers to flick and smash them until they’re un-undead.

A full review will be out as soon as the game is released and until then you can follow the progress on Twitter or on Facebook.

Good news, everyone! We’ve discovered a way that will let you read this sentence in the voice of Professor Farnsworth!

Also, we’ve just launched the Zombie Command iPhone app in the Apple iTunes store that will let you get the latest news and Twitter updates directly to you iPhone!

There’s not that much more to it at the moment but it does make it look pretty for when you’re on the move.

Best of all it’s FREE!

Check out the screenshots below or download it (opens in iTunes). Don’t forget to rate it or leave a review.

If there’s one thing the world was missing it was world peace, uniting the Earth in the common threat of a zombie uprising. If there was another thing the world was missing it was Resident Evil Monopoly.

With the zombocalypse drawing ever closer though one man couldn’t risk waiting for a unified Earth and took matters into his own hands.

4 years in the making, Nicholas “Neptune” Endean, finally saw his endeavors paid off and has a Resident Evil Monopoly that would make and fan proud; boasting such locations as the Raccoon Police Department and Spencer Mansion.

He lays out the whole process over on his site and tells of all the missteps on the way, including printing a 1m x 1m board!

Blue Castle, developers of upcoming zombie game sequel Dead Rising 2, clarified how the prequel will work for those wanting in on the zombie action early.

Case Zero is a stand alone game that won’t require either a copy of Dead Rising or Dead Rising 2 to be playable and will most likely be available from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The game will contain wholly unique content and is not a demo, it will ‘give gamers a good sense of how the game is going to play’ so it won’t be free, but Blue Castle made clear that it would be accessibly priced (so 800 or maybe 400 MSP then).

Case Zero will be available ’significantly’ before Dead Rising 2’s August release date.

If you thought the Genocide Achievement in Left 4 Dead was ridiculous (kill 53,595 zombies) you’re about to be blown away by the latest news from Valve.

In the first two months of Left 4 Dead 2’s release, 28,981,249,043 zombies have been shot, bludgeoned, chainsawed and killed — or, for our younger readers, taken to a farm where they can frolic and shuffle around forever.

You read that correctly: 28 BILLION. To put that number in perspective:
The entire population of the planet has been zombified and killed 4.26 times.

With the average height of a zombie being 6 feet, if you stacked them end to end they would circle the globe 1,322 times.

If you placed 28,981,249,043 rulers end to end, they would reach 28,981,249,043 feet in the sky.

In short: That is a bucketload of dead zombies. Nice job, everyone.

It’s worth noting that Zombie Command has contributed over 27 billion kills themselves, making us slightly less surprised about this news and wondering what everybody else is doing.

Zombie Cannon Carnage is a new iPhone game from Freeverse and is their second game after Parachute Ninja.

The trailer above shows a bit of the gameplay and we’ll have a review for you once it’s released, but how can you go wrong with such awesome game names.

The poster for new Left 4 Dead 2 DLC, The Passing, was unveiled recently by Valve.

We already know that this campaign will see the survivors of the first L4D, being spotted by the survivors from the second and this poster gives nothing else away.

With only a VR headset, a Wii, some software (GlovePIE) and a copy of Left 4 Dead you too can experience some genuine zombie apocalypse training.

While the upgrade to Wii motion plus is still to be implemented for more accurate shooting, this looks as close to the zombie apocalypse that we ever want to be.

If anybody would like to recreate this and do a tutorial for us please get in touch.

Hive Media, the guys behind the Zombie Game Experiment, have just announced the acquisition of Windmill Games and released their first new product, Angela’s World.

While Angela’s World doesn’t feature any zombies (boo) the proceeds for buying the game go towards funding the Zombie Game Experiment proper.

This casual game takes place upon a small planet which you must dodge sparks and gather enchanted roses while surviving the various events that Angela’s World offers.

Featuring dreamy music and simple but fun gameplay the game is available for PC and Mac priced a very reasonable $3.80 and will be available for $1.99 on the iPhone soon.

You can download the game or play the demo here.

New Dead Rising 2 screenshots taken directly from the demo show the might CHAINSOAR! ® and weapon combo system.

Okay the game calls it the Paddlesaw, but we think our name is better.
