“Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO is an exclusive Xbox LIVE Arcade game that will act as a prequel to events of Dead Rising 2. The game’s story is set two years after the Willamette incident chronicled in the original Dead Rising and three years before the action of Dead Rising 2.”
Game follows the protagonist Chuck Green as a desperate father trying to find more “Zombrex,” a drug to prevent zombification, for his infected little girl. Chuck’s going to have to fight zombies and avoid the military to save his daughter.
Wow, I may actually have a hard time playing this as I have a five year old and I can’t help but project myself into the stories of the games I play. So If you see me, and it looks like I’ve been crying (In a manly way of course)… Do me a favor and remind me it’s just a game and that my daughter is fine.
Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth installment in the zombie apocalypse franchise, and my new reason for existing, will be out in theaters Sept. 10.
This version of zombie destroying mayhem will come out in 3D and is reportedly shot with the same cameras used by Avatar. (Sadly Milla Jovovich will not be ten feet tall or blue, and you will NOT be able to have ponytail sex with her) I know that many of you are very disappointed by that.
The Resident Evil 4: Afterlife Poster is up and ready for your Milla worship. Behold this poster of the infinitely attractive Milla Jovovich!
An interesting interview with George Romero over his film career making “zombie movies” and his latest film “Survival of the Dead.”
(Sigh) George Romero’s line, “I almost don’t think of them as Zombie films.”
See, I agree. I almost don’t think of Your new films as zombie films either…. That’s not a good thing, George!!!
Why does that annoy me so much. Maybe because it’s the man who basically created the genre I love so much not taking the very subject matter seriously. If you want to make social and political statements, like Michael Moore, fine go do it. Make a documentary.
But if you want to make a good zombie movie, try harder to not make them suck.
I’m sure plenty of you out there disagree with me, but I am simply more underwhelmed with each new movie Romero makes…. And it annoys the crap out of me. They SHOULD be getting more awesome. But they’re not.
As of Yesterday “Brains: A Zombie Memoir” written by Robin Becker is available for you to purchase, take home, and dare I say it “to love.” (Why do I always take this to a creepy place… Write what you know I guess.)
I loved the trailer for this book, made me laugh, but to be honest I really am looking forward to getting my grubby hands on a copy because I like the premise. I’ve read way to many books and watched too many movies where the zombies are the horrible villains, suitable only to be put down with a well placed shot to the head.
It’s really really REALLY refreshing to see them as the Protagonists in a story. I support Zombie Rights! And you should too.
About the Book:
Forget contemporary American literature–former college professor Jack Barnes has a new passion: Brains. It’s in his nature…he’s a zombie. But he’s not your normal, vacant-eyed, undead idiot. No, Jack Barnes has something most other victims of the zombie apocalypse don’t have: sentience. In fact, he can even write. And the story he has to tell is a truly disturbing–yet strangely heartwarming–one.
Convinced he’ll bring about a peaceful coexistence between zombies and humans if he can demonstrate his unique condition to the man responsible for the zombie virus, Howard Stein, Barnes sets off on a grueling cross-country journey to meet his maker. Along the way he meets more like him, rotting brain-eaters who have retained some sort of cognitive ability, and soon forms a small army that will stop at nothing to reach their goal.
There’s Guts, the agile, dread-locked boy who can run like the wind; Joan, the matronly nurse adept at re-attaching rotting appendages; Annie, the young girl with a fierce quick-draw; and Ros, who can actually speak coherent sentences. Together they make their way through an eerie new world of roving zombie hunters, empty McMansions, and clogged highways on a quest to attain what all men, women–and apparently zombies–yearn for: equality.
What would you do during the zombpocalypse? I would of course loot the crap out of the place. I think a generator, Bigscreen, and all the Video Games I could find would help relieve the boredom of fighting for the rest of my life against the hungry zombie hordes.
…Frantically repopulating the earth may also be in order. Because I Care about our species, damnit!

I don’t understand how people can “Tweet” about every tiny insignificant aspect of their lives. I have seen people “Tweet” about which can of soup to buy. Honestly, you know your a complete waste of skin when you actually think other people care if you buy “Cream of Mushroom” or “Cream of Brocoli.”
You get “Cream of Brocoli” damn it!, because Mushrooms are gross!
People get so obsessed with Twitter that they “Tweet” constantly about everything. During a zombie apocalypse this is a sure fire way to get yourself killed. If you have something significant to say you should get a blog, start a webcomic, and bitterly complain about people things like “Tweeting.”
