Zombie Apocalypse Announced

Zombies are the new deer hunting simulation game it would seem. Capcom is throwing its raggedy blood soaked hat into the zombie apocalypse with the appropriately titled Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network game, Zombie Apocalypse. set to shamble its way into your hearts and onto your hard drives in the second quarter of 2009, Zombie Apocalypse has you gunning down as many zombies as you can to save the world from Zombiegeddon.

Players will do this using 11 weapons including assault rifles, flame throwers and a teddy bear filled with C4 explosives. Up to four players can play locally or via the Internet to stop the zombie attacks and rescue survivors as they compete for the highest scores. Other nifty weapons include a chainsaw to melee zombies, environmental hazards and a bunch of other surprises.

The end goal is to survive 55 days across seven environments and garner the most kills and the biggest score. If this sounds like fun, then keep your eyes peeled for the game later this year.
