Zombie Command

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!

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.
