Zombie Apocalypse Is This Week
By Shaun Hatton - September 20th, 2009
It was only a matter of time. We’re just a few days before Zombie Apocalypse is upon us. No, not the actual event – I’m talking about the downloadable game from Konami. It’ll be hitting Xbox LIVE Arcade and the PlayStation Network this week.
The premise is one we’ve seen before: The zombie infection is spreading and, as a survivor, you must do what you can to endure wave after wave on oncoming zombies while trying to save other survivors. You can use environmental hazards to your advantage in addition to the 11 weapons at your disposal. Yes, there’s even a chainsaw, which is apparently now a staple weapon in all zombie games.
Zombie Apocalypse also has four-player local and online support, so you and your friends can get together to see if you can survive the 55 days required to finish the game. I know Adam and I will be playing a hell of a lot of this, should he ever re-emerge from his self-imposed seclusion.

Is that the Fallout 3 loading screen?
Looks pretty damn close! Both are derivative of old broadcast test patterns, and both have a similar design treatment done to them.
