Brains to Eat - Get your zombie fix in 2012


So with the spectacular finale to The Walking Dead behind us, you may be asking yourself how you're going to get your Zombie fix until the show's return. Well before you go and buy a chemistry set and begin work on a zombie inducing virus to sate your need for brain eating goodness, check out the list below for just a few of the Zombies related things being released this year.


The Last of Us
Game - PS3
Release date: TBA

The Last of Us is an upcoming Third-Person survival horror game being developed by Naughty Dog. I'm sure your all familiar with Naughty Dog, you know those guys who made those little Uncharted games.  Not a whole lot is actually known about it at the moment, though a trailer has been released introducing the two main characters, Ellie and Joel. Also it seems like it is not going to be a typical zombie game, choosing to focus on the Father-Daughter relationship between Joel and Ellie. I'm pretty excited about this game and I don't even own a PS3.

Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City
Game - PC, PS3, X-Box 360
Release Date: March 20, 2012

For those of you in the US this game came out today, the rest of us will be getting it in the next couple of days though so no need to fret. The Resident Evil franchise has deviated from its survival horror zombie killing beginnings in recent times but this title at least features actual zombies! Set in Racoon City somewhere between the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3 the player has the option of playing either as a member of Umbrella Security Service (USS) or the United States Special Operations Force. Depending on which side you take you will be tasked with either covering up Umbrella's mess or exposing it. It definitely sounds interesting but I don't see myself playing this one, it will take a lot to get my interested in the Resident Evil series again.

World War Z
Movie
Release Date: TBA

Based on the hugely popular novel of the same name, starring Brad Pitt, World War Z has the positional to be AWESOME. Unfortunately though very little is known about the actual movie, not even having a trailer it could of course disappoint. Never the less I am excited about this one, say what you will about Brad Pitt, you can't really deny that he has been in some amazing movies and certainly has the resources to pick and choose his roles.  This one is definitely gonna be big and possibly similar to The Walking Dead, we will be keeping up to date with it here on InfinityFeed so make sure to come back.

A little bit Zombie
Movies
Release Date: TBA

This is a movie about a guy and a girl who are getting married, he is a mild mannered kinda guy and she is a high strung bitch. They have best friends, a guy (a Seann William Scott wannabe) and some girl. They all go to some cabin, presumably for some pre-wedding celebration. The mild mannered guy gets bitten by....something and turns into a zombie, and stays exactly the same, apart from being dead and wanting to eat brains. A zombie hunter turns up and the high strung bitch still wants to marry zombie Steve (oh ye, his name is Steve). I learnt all of that from the trailer...no need to watch the movie itself now. Thankfully, as this looks terrible. But it looks like a no brainer (see what I did there?..eh?..eh?) Shaun of the Dead taken-too-far sort of movie, so if you like that kind of thing this may be good for you.   

2.8 Hours Later
Event

2.8 Hours Later is a zombie survival game in real life. You take on the role of a survivor and with a group of friends you have to get to different locations throughout your city, following clues given by other survivors (actors) all the while avoiding the many zombies scattered throughout the streets. I took part in this here in Leeds last year and loved it. Out of a group of 6 I was 1 of 2 of that survived the game. The actors were fantastic and the zombies were great, at the very beginning we were greeted by a ear splitting screech, followed by what was clearly a zombie bounding towards us, I dived over a wall into a beer garden full of unsuspecting civilians. 2.8 Hours Later is happening throughout the year all over the UK, but the only confirmed dates so far are Glasgow - 28th-30 march and Glasgow - 5th-7th April.

So the above is just a few of the zombie related things to be looking forward to in the coming year. Because of the zombie craze at the moment there is much more, but this is some of the best and should keep your zombie needs at bay for a little while.
