Fort Zombie now available

The Zombie Apocalypse begins anew in publisher Paradox Entertainment’s and developer Kerberos Productions’ action-strategy-RPG, Fort Zombie. In Forte Zombie you are a survivor of a zombie outbreak in a small town. You’re goal is pretty simple: Find a place to hideout, fight from and stay alive. But staying alive means finding supplies, training other survivors that may want to join you and kill any zombies that might get a little too rambunctious. Zombies can be precocious little fellows sometimes.

Players will really need to assemble a party from the survivors you can find. You’ll also have to step outside your comfort zone to get supplies like weapons and ammo (and food), to help with the survival effort. Military and emergency vehicles, the best sources for hardware and vital ammunition are also a must find to survive.

Fort Zombie is available for purchase through all major digital distribution channels for the hauntingly low suggested retail price of $9.99 and €9.99.

Fortress Luna now available for iPhone, iPod Touch

Primus Productions has launched of Fortress Luna, the company’s first game for the iPhone and iPod Touch today.

Fortress Luna challenges iPhone and iPod Touch owners to launch nuclear missiles from a secret base on the moon that will (with a bit of luck and skill) intercept asteroids before they destroy the world and save all of humanity. It’s like Armageddon but without Bruce Willis, Lib Tyler and an Aerosmith title track. The asteroids are apparently pelting the planet due to a gravitational anomaly in the outer solar system – if you need some sort of back story for a casual game like this – fill in the rest of the blanks. Primus says that the game is simple and ideal for casual players.

Fortress Luna is available through the iTunes AppStore today for $.99. For more information check out www.primusproductions.com.
