Survival of the dead DVD Release

George Romero's next film creeps closer to the UK

Last year the United States had the pleasure of watching 'Survival of the dead' but the UK sadly missed out.

In the next few weeks, all this will change, when the film goes straight to DVD in the UK.

If you don't know who George Romero is then you are on the wrong website. Regarded throughout the world as the godfather of all things zombie, George Romero is best known for his zombie films (including Night of the living dead, Dawn of the dead, etc).

The film takes place amid a war between the living and the dead. A group of survivors take refuge in a remote island off the coast of north America.

The group fight for their lives as they try to find a cure to bring back the zombies to a human state.

Reviews from critics have been overall good - with a current rating of 80% fresh on rotten tomatoes

Trailers for Survival of the dead and so many more zombie films can be seen on the Zombie News YouTube Channel.

Survival of the dead is released on DVD in the UK on 15^th March 2010

Plants Vs. Zombies: Iphone

Your garden goes mobile

After months of talk, a date has finally been set for Plants Vs. Zombies on the Iphone.

The game (from the publisher PopCap) proved very popular on PC and Mac and is sure to be an even bigger hit on the popular Iphone.

The task is to protect your house against a comical zombie horde that slowly shuffle (and dance, swim, pole vault?!?) across your garden.

You are not alone. To aid your survival the game features unusually powerful plants that kill the zombies. Place these plants in tactical places around the garden and you will live to see another day.

"so it is just another tower defence game?" - I hear you cry.

Well, yes it is, but it is also a very fun tower defence game that will keep you entertained for hours.

The launch date is:

Feburary 15th (aka. Next monday)

Play L4D2 Multiplayer for free

Ok, maybe not completely free, you will need an Xbox, a copy of Left 4 Dead 2, and an internet connection.

As of 5pm next Friday (15^thJanuary 2010) Left 4 Dead 2 multiplayer will be free to play for all Xbox silver account users for the whole weekend. Good news if you don’t have a gold account.

Left for Dead 2 is a sequel to Last years massive hit from Valve Software about a group of four working together to survive in a world overrun by virus infected humans.

A review of Left for Dead 1 and 2 will be coming to Zombie News at a later date. However, in short, if you like first person shooters and zombies you will probably like Left 4 Dead.

Zombies attack Tweeter!

Plenty of Zombie fans out there will be saying "I wish I thought of that" as a man from Florida tweets his adventures in a real-time fictional zombie apocalypse.

Gus (aka manvszombies on Twitter)has been tweeting an ongoing battle against the walking dead for nearly a month. He has even started to upload images and videos.

George Romero made a social commentary about social networking and the use of the internet during a zombie uprising in his 2007 film Diary of the Dead.

Twitter has been going from strength to strength recently and creating ongoing stories through the social networking site could create a new platform to help it grow even further as long as the writing is engaging enough.

Get Stephen King on the Phone and tell him he‘s missing out on a writing platform.
