Zombie Apocalypse this week News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

On PSN and XBLA, silly.

Konami plans to release Zombie Apocalypse this week: Wednesday on Xbox Live Arcade and Thursday on the PlayStation Network.

PS3 buyers will fork out the equivalent of $10, while Xbox 360 users will be asked for 800 Microsoft Points (Ł6.80 / €9.60).

Zombie Apocalypse is a two-stick, top-down, co-op shooter - a bit like Monster Madness, Rocketmen: Axis of Evil and Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3.

The idea, simply, is to survive the zombie apocalypse, by running around and laying waste to the shambling baddies. There are 11 different weapons to do this with, including a flamethrower and chainsaw, and a total of 55 days (levels) to last for. Survive to unlock some extra and challenging game modes.

Our Zombie Apocalypse gallery has some shots to peruse.

It looks rather like someone has made L4D but from an isometric-esque viewpoint, which makes me a little hard pushed to be excited about.

Indeed.. after L4D it is a bit hard to get excited about this.

"PS3 buyers will fork out the equivalent of $10"

So thats about the same then. If not a little less... Ł6.15 (at current rates... 10.00 US Dollars = 6.14836 British Pounds)

No idea, but ZA has a lot to live up to in the music and price departments.

Nah you're thinking of Dead Nation, from the makers of SSHD, looks brilliant though.

Definitely getting this though.

Looks a bit like Alien Breed, which is no bad thing.

Has this been confirmed for European PSN also this week?

Konami usually have long delays for their PSN titles in Europe...

One of the key differences of this, is that elements of it are based on "classic" zombie movies.

Is it anything like Burn, Zombie Burn, the two-stick, top-down zombie shooter with flame throwers and stuff?
