I don't know how many people have heard of Stubbs The Zombie, but it is a MIGHTY impressive game. It's for PC/Mac/XBOX, it's based off of the Halo engine (ye old H1) and it really does rock.
Well, I'm a halo fan for one, and a big zombie fan as well... (after playing stubbs for xbox I downloaded the demo to take this picture http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c142/weclock/stubbs1.png check out the demo here http://files.filefront.com/SEARCH/;4592001;/fileinfo.html )
I've played halo, and for this I feel like, I'm getting to play it all over again, except from the viewpoint of the flood. But that's a really skewed opinion I have. It's just a really fun game with no connection to halo other than it uses the same engine. It's based in a futuristic city set in the '50s. The main character 'Stubbs' was a sales man in the 1930's and died, got buried in some place, then this guy Andrew Monday built the futuristic city on top of his grave. Stubbs decided he'd take a peek at what was going on... I guess... that or he just thought Andrew's mom was a hottie (through out the game, stubbs is searching after Andrews mother, who looks impressively young for someone her age). Anyway, you get to have Zombie hoards, throw your guts and make them explode, tear off your head use it as a bowling ball and blow up all kinds of stuff... It's freakin' awesome. The main reason why you probably didn'thear about the game was that it was released about the same time as halo2 I think.. that or the xbox360... I'm not too sure.
but it was overshadowed.
Anyway, the soundtrack is of worthy note, it has '50s songs covered by more recent bands 'Death Cab For Cutie' being one of them.
It's absolutely brilliant and I hope to see a sequel (although it's highly doubtful).
