Wideload to Release Zombie Game 17

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday November 02, 2004 @01:54PM from the in-new-game-you-eat-zombie dept.

grag writes "People may recall that earlier this year, Wideload Games licensed the Halo engine for a project. Recently they announced the plot line of the game, a reversal of the roles in the zombie shooting game. According to the article, you play a zombie named Stubbs, working your way through the game eating brains and wreaking havoc in a comical 1950's inspired game setting."

More games should allow the player to take the role of the evil/bad guy/antagonist character. I remember a game called Tecmo Deception for PS. It allowed you to set traps in a castle and kill hero/treasure hunters. Also, the last Resident Evil game allowed you to play as a zombie. Games like this should be commended for thinking outside the box from ordinary "let me save the Princess and the world" type games to "Let me destroy the world and kill the princess" type games. Rock on.

  Also, if you're talking about Resident Evil: Outbreak, you couldn't actually control yourself once you became a zombie.

There's always an appeal to wrecking havoc instead of playing the good guy, but being a zombie in a video game is a little to close to reality. Being the evil genius-ok: but mindless, red-eyed, compulsively feeding myself- I might as well mount a mirror next to the screen.
