In the middle of one of them there zombie apocalypses (a more common occurrence than one would believe if our beloved horror biz is to be believed), a rag-tag group of survivors who’s ranks include, but are not limited to: a dude lookin’ straight out of the ’70s, a woman who continuously shoves people’s faces into her breasts, a rather fab zombie exterminator, and a school girl with a baseball bat. The long and the short of it is, these misfits have to band together and form a fighting force capable of withstanding this horrific outbreak of living dead… so, there probably as good as fucked… Make no mistake, Zombie Rampage 2 is an ultra-low budget affair, so you can take any expectations of Hollywood gloss, put in a box, and shove it right up your arcane ass.

Previously there was an announcement trailer for the upcoming official co-op zombie survival video game World War Z based on the movie by the same name. Recently there have been major updates announced in regards to the game itself by Sabre Interactive (the game’s developer) CEO Matthew Karch who sat down with PlayStation Magazine. As mentioned in a previous article and now confirmed, players will be going to locations that were in the films namely Jerusalem and the South Korean airbase; players will also be going to New York City and Moscow with the promise that more locations around the globe will be added eventually. Players will be able to construct traps as well as barriers to alter the path of the running hoard. Now some new details! The game will be in third person view (most like over the shoulder view). The environment can be manipulated in order to assist you; you can blow up cars to help take

Warning: Potential spoilers ahead! I’m a fan of zombies, I’m a fan of movies, so, therefore, I’m a fan of (a good) zombie movie. When I heard about a new movie starring Ellen Page coming out called The Cured about zombies that were cured and trying to re-enter society, I thought, “Oh they made In the Flesh into a movie?” but after seeing the trailer and reading what critics are saying, I’ll be honest I was shocked. Many are hailing the upcoming Irish film as “original” and “unique” but what I saw is a copy of an original. Over time many zombie films have had little moments where zombies act human again or show signs that they remember a small part of themselves, granted usually for dramatic effect before they are killed right before the eyes of a past loved one. In 2013 there was Warm Bodies, a horror rom-com about a zombie falling in love with a human girl

Back in 2015 at the American Physical Society (APS) meeting in San Antonio, researchers from Cornell University presented a talk on Statistical Mechanics involving a zombie outbreak in the United States to a standing only room. Max Brooks’ book, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, inspired the researchers to run a real-world simulation of how a zombie virus outbreak as seen in Brooks’ book would play out in the real world. “Modeling zombies takes you through a lot of the techniques used to model real diseases, albeit in a fun context,” says Alex Alemi one of the graduate students who worked on the research with fellow graduate students. The simulation showed surprising results, in the simulation the zombie outbreak does not occur in many areas at once, it starts in New York City, the more likely place any major outbreak would arise in any major US city but the big apple was used in the test.

Christmas time is here and gifts are coming from the folks at Techland in the form of Elf-dressed Zombies in ‘Dying Light’ the first-person survival horror game where players can craft weapons and use parkour skills to survive a zombie outbreak in a quarantined city. As of the 22nd of December, a community challenge called ‘Sharing is Caring’ where players have to treat the festive-looking zombies “naughty” enough to get 1 of 8 presents before the challenge ends on New Years Day. Basically what you have to do is play ‘Dying Light’ go to either Old Town or the Slums and start your journey and locate the festive zombies in green shirts and red and white striped pants, kill them and loot their bodies of Christmas candy! The best tactic I use to get close enough to these guys is to disguise myself (hence the yellow screen on the pic) so you’re invisible to the zombies and you just sneak

Gamers and fans of the film and book ‘World War Z’ will be able to take their love of the story a step further and actually be in the middle of the body-piling chaos along with friends in the upcoming 4 player Co-Op video game by Saber Interactive. The overall story is unknown but takes players to recognizable locations from the film as well as some locations that were not in the film. Players can make traps, upgrade weapons, build barriers, and use their surroundings to keep back and survive the (debatable) undead hoard. My prediction is the game will resemble that of ‘Left 4 Dead’ and ‘Killing Floor’ both game series focus on teamwork and reaching objectives while surviving an onslaught of zombies. The game will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, you can check out the reveal trailer below and check out the website here!

Most gamers who are fans of AMC’s acclaimed hit series, ‘The Walking Dead’, are used to the popular Telltale Episodic game series by the same name but fans can rejoice getting the game they feel they deserve with a first-person co-op shooting game that’s being developed by Overkill, known for their hit first person shooting heist co-op series ‘Payday’. ‘Overkill’s The Walking Dead’ will offer players a chance to play as new characters and a new storyline which from what I can only assume takes place in Washington D.C. as the game’s tagline is “In 2018, Washington will fall. What will you do?” The game promises to stay true to the ‘Walking Dead’ comics and even has the creator Robert Kirkman on bored teaming up with Overkill and offering ‘Payday 2’. Fans have a chance to unlock their very own ‘Lucille’, the barbwire-wrapped baseball bat used by the notorious antagonist in both the comics and television series, Negan. The game

The place is Hannibal, Missouri. The time, shortly after humanity has been stuffed into a hand basket and sent off to hell. A little thing we recognize from popular culture, known as the zombie apocalypse, looks to have finally plunged the world into chaos. The goal for anyone left standing – survival. Well… perhaps not JUST standing, but anyone left standing while also living and breathing. But as one may suspect, the living are just as big a threat during such a catastrophic event as the living. Two different story lines illustrate how some of residents of this Missouri town intend to remain amongst the living during this societal downfall. One features a group of survivors have hatched out a plan to move on in hopes of finding someplace safer to re-settle. But in order to gain safer passage potential threats must be redirected out of their way. In the other story, a mother and her young daughter find themselves

We’ve all seen those videos of people acting goofy after dental surgery. Now, two brothers may have just pulled off the best prank EVER . The two men prank their sister with the help of their mom, while she’s recovering from the procedure. The two actually convinced their sister that the zombie apocalypse had begun. It all starts with a CD being played on the drive home. It featured a recording of a radio station interrupted by the Emergency Broadcast System announcing that a viral outbreak had begun. The virus’ symptoms included fever, aggression, death and cannibalism. The prank escalates as the brothers stage a rush home to rescue those that their mom. During this time they make their sister, Milicent, make hard decisions, like save the cat or the dog. It turns out Milicent can be quite ruthless, even while still high from a procedure. She was also very unhappy with the weapon she’s given. The whole thing is

This post is about The Infected: Nightfall, the third book in Joseph Zuko’s zombie apocalypse survival series. This time around rather than a review I’m posting a book notice. Why? Well, by a bizarre turn of events I actually ended up editing this one. Since I was part of the project, I can’t review it in good conscience, but I will say that as a fan of the first two books in this series – volume three doesn’t disappoint! This book will not only make your heart race, but will tug on your heart strings as well. Book Description: Jim and Karen Blackmore have discovered that when it comes to the zombie apocalypse, there is no such thing as safety in numbers. Between their separate groups of survivors is a city of the living dead, hungry for flesh and growing in numbers by the minute. As Jim and his newly minted gang of zombie killers fight their way to his
