The campaign is set a year after a zombie outbreak decimated humanity, and takes place across ten stages ranging from ruined cityscapes and corpse-strewn parks to dark-lit, blood-stained corridors. Put this on after a few hours spent rage-quitting an online shooter or pulling your hair our over a taxing puzzle game and I swear you’ll be pushing it forward for Game of the Year. If you missed it first time around (it was released a while back on PS3), it’s a Super Smash TV-style top-down shooter that tasks you with doing very little other than killing lots of zombies. This, however, is likely untrue, and we would eventually find ourselves staggering through the streets, leaking fluids and looking for brains with the rest of the horde.Īnd yet, despite the fact that our chances of surviving an actual zombie apocalypse are about 1 in 500,000 (I pulled that statistic clean out of my shorts, by the way), movies and games continue to turn the blood-soaked terror and social nightmare of such an event into gung-ho catharsis like Housemarque’s Dead Nation. They say that gamers and film fans might last that little bit longer, conditioned as we undoubtedly are to facing extreme odds with nothing but a crowbar and an Asda-bought medikit.

The virus-slash-pathogen-slash-alien-brain-slugs would spread at an alarming rate, and your pasty, out-of-shape backside would make for an even more appealing morsel than your tired old brain. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but in the event of an actual zombie apocalypse, you will more than likely die.
