KONAMI ANNOUNCES RELEASE DATE

The Fight For Survival Hits Xbox LIVE® Arcade On September 23 and PLAYSTATION®NETWORK on September 24

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced the release date and new screenshots from the highly anticipated downloadable game Zombie Apocalypse. Coming to Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft on September 23 and the PlayStation®Network on September 24, Zombie Apocalypse drops players in an epic battle between the dead and the living!

Equipped with ample artillery, players’ dual analog stick shooting skills will be put to the test in the thrilling arcade style shooter. As gamers set forth on their mission to conquer zombies, they can choose from up to 11 diverse weapons including assault rifles, flamethrowers and teddy bears filled with C4 explosives. A chainsaw is also available to players who want an up close and personal encounter with the roaming dead. Savvy players can also take advantage of their surroundings as they utilize environmental hazards to destroy massive hordes of zombies.

Players navigate through seven environments and fight their way through 55 days of zombie attacks without becoming a brainless zombie. Should they succeed, they will be rewarded with seven challenging game modes that will enable them to re-live the apocalypse all over again. As an added bonus, gamers do not have to face the evil masses alone as multiplayer capabilities allow up to four shooters to take on the zombie confrontation locally or co-operatively online.

Zombie Apocalypse will be available on September 23 on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for 800 Microsoft Points and September 24 on PlayStation®Network for $9.99.

MTV Multiplayer has footage of gameplay from the upcoming Lego Rock Band.  Personally, I don’t get it.  Seems like something Activision should be pushing.  Take a look and form your own opinion.

A first look by JD.

I’m loving this game so far. It may be bit overpriced at 1200 space bucks, but if you’re into physics based skill games, you need to give it a shot.  As Weasel put it – “It’s ‘Little Big Planet’ with motorcycles!”  How can you go wrong!

The game has multiple skill levels, as well as a ‘Skill Game” section where you can do cool things like ride your bike in a steel ball, on a steel ball, and through rings of fire.  I think the replay value is there, especially because you can build your own tracks and share with friends.  Too bad no one on my friends list as built any tracks.  Get busy people!

Now’s your chance to pick up Graw 2 for Sam’s Monday night sessions!
