2Bits: Zombies simply misunderstood members of circle of life

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."

Prince_TFK2284d ago

Give it a break. This article is about original Xbox game that people want to play on the X1 (heck, it states just that in the headline). It is not an article that talk about new games.

obidanshinobi2284d ago

What like Sea of Thieves, SoD2, Crackdown 3, FH4, Ashen, Ori 2 and whatever hasn't been announced yet ?
Plus all the third party games.

Stubbs the Zombie Developer 'Wideload Games' the Latest Victim of Disney Interactive Layoffs

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.

Umbasa3711d ago

I thought the man that started that company years ago worked w/ Bungie on the 1st Halo. What was his name? Anyways that sucks :(

DJ3711d ago

This is officially Developer Layoff Month.

WeAreLegion3711d ago

Darn. I hope they all find new jobs quickly. Stubbs is such a great game.

AnEwGuY3711d ago

How were they even still operating, when they haven't done anything for years??

ValKilmer3711d ago

They were doing mobile stuff for Disney lately. They did that Avengers game.

5 Dumbfounding Video Game Controversies

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.

Snookies124202d ago (Edited 4202d ago )

Man, I'd heard about the terrible Fox News thing with Mass Effect but never watched it in full.... Oh dear lord I facepalmed so many times. Words cannot describe the ignorance of those people. If you're going to do reporting, at least have SOME knowledge of what you're reporting... -_-

VIRTUAL ORGASMIC RAPE

I knew that it would be number 1

Wigriff4202d ago

Having knowledgeable, fact-based reporting is the antithesis of Fox News policy.

Rettom4202d ago

Hahahaha Geoff Keighley pwned them. I love that dude.
