From the article: " Zombies get a bad rap. The majority of them just can't help their innate, ravenous urges. I'm sure if they had a choice in the manner, we'd see quite a few vegetarian, or even vegan, members of the Undead. You don't get mad at lions for chasing cute zebras, or vultures from scavenging off the zebras' carcass once the lions are done.
Quite a few video games even portray some more rational zombies. So since not all zombies are evil, we shouldn't instantly condemn or fear them. Zombies are simply a part of the circle of life, and we should accept the good along with bad. Besides, if someone isn't able to outwit/outrun a zombie, then maybe that person deserves to get eaten."
GameSpew: We have been warned that the library of compatible titles won’t be all that extensive, but it doesn't stop us thinking about the original Xbox games we'd love to revisit again on Xbox One.

Earlier today, Disney announced they were laying off 700 employees of video game subsidiary Disney Interactive. While it was thought that many of these would be those in marketing or the mobile/browser sectors, it seems like some old fashioned game developers are getting the boot as well. The latest victim? Wideload Games, who may be better known as the developer of cult classics Stubbs the Zombie and Guilty Party.
Ugh, that stinks. I've been holding out hope all these years that'd we get a Stubbs 2 one day.
I thought the man that started that company years ago worked w/ Bungie on the 1st Halo. What was his name? Anyways that sucks :(
MMGN.com: "As a medium, video gaming has seen plenty of flack over the years, for many logical and fair reasons. Plenty of our favourite games glamorise guns, blood and violence, some still insist on pushing archaic stereotypes into the twenty-first century, and many others visualise and sexualise anything with two legs (or more) with little shame."
"For these reasons, the ire of media watchdog groups has understandably never been too far. However, there have been plenty of instances where the media and other groups have shown a face-palm-worthy lack of understanding in what they are criticising. Here are 5 of the most dumbfounding controversies stirred up by media and political groups who simply don't know what they're talking about or have actively chosen to gloss over the finer details in favour of a news story."
The Mass Effect 'controversy' still makes me furious even now.
Over-reacting to a joke about adoption is one thing, but shamelessly lying about a game's content and completely misrepresenting it just to grab attention is vile, offensive and despicably dishonest.
It never ceases to amaze me that most of these kinds of controversies are started or stoked by people who haven't even seen the content in question.
