Fort Zombie announced at PAX
Paradox Interactive today kicked off its PAX 2009 plans by unveiling of Fort Zombie, an action RPG title that will be available through all major digital distribution channels. As the title suggests, Fort Zombie sees players trapped in the small town of Piety, Indiana. Faced with no other choice but to find shelter from an impending wave of zombies migrating from a nearby metropolis, players will have to choose a building to be their Fort throughout the entire campaign.
By focusing efforts on building up this structure, scouring town for supplies, and searching out and training other survivors, players will have a shot at surviving the massive zombie onslaught. Players will also have to choose from a variety of daily tasks and efficiently build up character stats and skills to fight off the zombies.

Plants vs. Zombies confirmed for iPhone
Some great news for iPhone users from PopCap Games today: the wonderful Plants Vs. Zombies is coming to iPhone and iPod Touch by the end of the year. I have said in the past that this game would work on any platform, so i’m glad to see it making its way to the app store later this year.
If you don’t know what it is, Plants vs. Zombies is a unique take on the tower defense genre where players use a variety of plants and specialty units and objects to keep a never-ending onslaught of zombies from getting into your house. The game was originally released for PC and Mac to much acclaim.
The original game included a survival mode, a puzzle mode, and a set of PopCap game-themed mini-games. We do not know at this time if the iPhone version of the game will feature everything from the original, but we hope that it does. More on Plants vs. Zombies when it becomes available. Oh and PopCap - please bring it to PSN and XBLA sooner rather than later. Thank you.

Dead Rising 2 details
Here’s something interesting that wasn’t quite apparent (to me) when Capcom let slip that a new Dead Rising was in the works: Frank West isn’t in the game. According to information released by Sega this week, Frank saved the United States from a zombie apocalypse, but outbreaks continue to happen. The latest outbreak is unfolding in Fortune city, a place that looks suspiciously like Las Vegas. Dead Rising 2 takes the action out of Wilamette and into the glitz and glamour of Fortune City, described as “America’s latest and greatest entertainment playground.” People go to this place to relax and win big, but you might want to talk to your travel agent about a locale that has less zombies.
The game sees the introduction of former national Motocross champion, Chuck Greene, as the hero. Capcom describes Chuck as a Motocross champion that had to work hard to get where he is. Starting small and of meager means, Chuck was forced to repair his own bikes, leaving him with an incredibly to fix things. A single father, Chuck has a young daughter Katey who he will do anything for. That’s our hero in Dead Rising 2, but it doesn’t sound like good old Chuck has a camera or a clue as to what about to happen to him or his daughter next.
Developed by Blue Castle Games, Dead Rising 2 promises hundreds of zombies on screen at any one time, new objects to use in new and exciting ways and lots of blood and gore. No details on actual game mechanics, but we’ll keep you posted.
The game is being developed by Canadian developer Blue Castle Games in close collaboration with Capcom and some of the original members of the Dead Rising development team. It currently has no tentative release date, but it will not be an Xbox 360 exclusive this time around: the game is coming to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
