Romero’s Call of the Dead: A Nerdsplosion!

Before you get all excited about Sunnydale’s favorite slayer returning to television, I’ll fill you in on a little secret, it’s not really happening! On the other hand, we’re getting one of the most bizarre pop-culture mash-ups I’ve ever had the pleasure of witnessing. What happens when the father of all Zombie films, George Romero, sinks his teeth into a Call of Duty expansion pack? Call of the Dead happens! And why is this so damn cool? Call of the Dead allows you to play as Buffy, Machete, Freddy Kruger, and Michael Rooker! My brain literally leaked out of my ears.. what the!? I was a little surprised with the trailer’s useage of the .45 Grave’s song “Do You Wanna Party?” which was the theme song to Dan O’ Bannon’s Return of the Living Dead. Romero’s Living Dead films and the Return of the Living Dead films have always had a bit of a rivalry, so it was a bit jarring to see “Do you Wanna Party” attached to a Romero property. I so want this to be a real film… damn it.

Gears of War 3: The Best Cooperative Experience of All Time?

As soon as I began to play the original GOW I realized that there was something about the game’s blend of action and tactics that set it apart from all other games in the genre. Over the years I’ve beaten both GOW campaigns with a wide various friends, family, and strangers, and still find the experience to be deeply satisfying. While some of the systems introduced in the original GOW were still in their relative infancy, the overall Gears experience was always spectacular. After playing a lot of Gears 3 over the past week I can honestly say that the Gears 1 and 2 were just an appitizer for the feast that is Gears of War 3.

    Someone needs to do a study on the popularity of zombies! I personally think its a reflection of man’s desire to kill without remorse.
