Upcoming Xbox Live Arcade exclusive Deadlight puts the emphasis on survival, a mysterious zombie plague, and the ’80s. OXM contributor Steve Haske grills the game’s creative director, Raul Rubio, to find out why.
Ever wonder if maybe a videogame about a perky, chainsaw-wielding cheerleader and her decapitated-head boyfriend fighting zombies was inspired by Shakespeare? Wonder no more! Lollipop Chainsaw dev, Suda51, and TV/film writer James Gunn pair up for a video diary explaining all the gory subtleties of the campy, upcoming action-schlockfest.
"Late April" marks the release window for the first of five XBLA episodes of its The Walking Dead downloadable videogame series for the ridiculously affordable asking price of 400 Microsoft Points ($5). Details on the series' season pass were also revealed. Click to read more.
Just in case you thought Lollipop Chainsaw was only a love story about a severed head and a highschool cheerleader, WB Interactive introduces you to the "Bosses of Zombie Rock" to change your mind. Four new characters are revealed — and they're all undead. Happy Friday.
Even if you’ve never consumed The Walking Dead comics or the TV spinoff series, Telltale Games’ upcoming videogame adaptation looks like a delicious piece of zombie lore. We grill the dev team for tasty details… (WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!)
