Stubbs the Zombie

Posted by Denalan on Sunday, May 8, 2005

Last year I posted on EMB about a company called Wideload. If you recall this company is made up of former-Bungie employees (including co-founder Alexander Seropian who left a couple of years after Microsoft acquired Bungie). Wideload is based in Chicago just like Bungie was. Also, Aspyr will be publishing their games.

At the time Wideload didn’t have much on their site except for a very brief bio and some words that said something about “coming soon”. We would have to wait until we saw what they were working on.

Well, wait no further. Stubbs the Zombie is here.

At first glance it would seem this is a game where you’re after a team of zombies, running around with a gun blowing their heads off. But no. In this game, you are the zombie. Yes, you heard me right. People are trying to shoot at you, while you attempt to munch on them and convert them over to your zombie army.

I could put in a better description, but pictures and videos are better than words. Check out the game details at http://www.stubbsthezombie.com/.

Also, I should mention this is going to be coming out for the Xbox, PC, and Mac simultaneously (woohoo!). It looks like they’re planning to ship this fall.

Its not often you see this message:
“Allow popups from www.stubbsthezombie.com ?”

The answer is yes.

Watch the video called “Tractor Rampage”.

Is that “Thanks for lending me a hand” caption from the game or is it writer’s embellishment? If from the game, that rivals such witty barbs from the past like Duke Nukem’s “Don’t have time to play with myself” and Shadow Warrior’s “Who wants some wang?”

Let’s not forget Commando’s famous, “What happened to Sully?” –”I let him go.”
