Zombie Apocalypse half off on XBLA this week

Big week for gamers who are fans of zombies, what withZombie Panic in Wonderlandhitting WiiWare and now this — Nihilistic’s downloadable title,Zombie Apocalypseis half off on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Normally 800 MS Points, the twin-stick undead shooter is now only 400 MS Points. Sounds about the best price for the game to me. I reviewed the game back when it was released (on PlayStation Network, but the two versions are identical), and I found it to be amusing, if not repetitive....

After today’s War Table stream, Marvel’s Avengers still has a lot to prove

I hope it’s more fun to play than it looks Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix showed off around 25 minutes ofMarvel’s Avengersin today’s War Table stream, and if you caught it live, the compression-heavy showing was rough to watch. If you’re checking in now, the 4K upload on YouTube is better. Not great – I’m afraid to see this game running on current-gen base consoles – but better. There’s also a co-op trailer if you’re in a rush....

Well, here it is, and it looks nearly as weird and odd asCabin in the Woods, but with a better cast and Jon Hamm back in the era he was clearly born to live in....
