I recently re-discovered console video games. Me and my
X-Box are now best friends (don’t even need to take it out and
shove a burger down its throat to get lucky…can’t go wrong) and I try to
button-mash at least once a week as a reward for all my
slaving. Which
brings me to my anticipation for this new bad-boy!
Aspyr Media, Inc. and Wideload Games are raising
their new baby from the dead. It’s named "STUBBS THE
ZOMBIE – IN REBEL WITHOUT A PULSE" a game that has YOU be the Zombie!
FUN SHITE! The whole she-bang will be a third-person action packed jamboree via an updated
Halo™ engine and will sport some "ass kicking" tunes to back
the munching up (by Cake, The Dandy Warhol’s and more!) Summer 2005 is the
planned release date and thus far Mac, PC and X-BOX (yippee) will get it!
You can see some "in game clips"

but before you do that, read the Game Synopsis below.
Game Story:
In 1933, Edward "Stubbs" Stubblefield was just another traveling
salesman trying to get by during the Great Depression. His lifelong losing
streak reached its logical conclusion when he was brutally murdered and
ignominiously buried in a remote Pennsylvania field.
Now it’s 1959. Billionaire playboy industrialist Andrew Monday
has constructed a monument to his own ego: Punchbowl, Pennsylvania, a
technology-driven City of the Future to which the world will look for guidance.
Unfortunately, Punchbowl (motto: "Drink your fill of the Future˙") is built atop
the same stretch of land where Stubbs was buried all those years ago. When he
crawls out of his grave during Punchbowl’s opening day celebration, Stubbs
doesn’t know who killed him or why he’s returned. All he knows is that this
strange city of towering buildings, bright lights, and incredible machines
wasn’t here before…and that eating somebody’s brains would make him feel
better.
In death, Stubbs has finally achieved the success and power he never had in life
– and he sees no reason to stop until all of Punchbowl is his. Of course,
Andrew Monday has other ideas. The tension mounts until the city explodes
in a full-scale human vs. zombie war.
