E3 First Look – Zombie Apocalypse

At the Konami booth during E3 last week, I was able to check out Zombie Apocalypse, a game that’ll be available on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network next month.  The game is a basic zombie survival game where you kill the zombies to survive ‘days’ in the game.  The game can be played with up to 4 players where you have the chance to collect the 11 different weapons and survive wave after wave of zombies. One of the things I really liked about this game is how easy it is to pick up and play: left stick to move, right to shoot.  There’s some really great weapons – like the teddy bear with C4 inside that lets you lure the zombies away from you and your friends while you waste them.  Another nice touch is that much of the landscape on each screen can be interacted with – and

Burn Zombie Burn for PSN

Burn, Zombie Burn is the next big thing from Doublesix. It is an arena based shooter made specially for the Playstation Network. As one could guess from the title, the whole point of the game is burning zombies then shooting them. The game was made to have addicting gameplay, but still a very special personality. The game actually achieves both. The controls are pretty simple, so most people can just come in and pick it up. Left stick moves your character, and there is no camera to control. L1 points to the nearest zombie. R2 switches to secondary weapons. L3 shows where all the weapons are scattered across the field. X is shoot. The character always shoots directly in front of them. The good thing about the variety of weapons is that they don’t disappear until you use them. Items that are dropped from zombies will, though, so it’s best
