The Onion News Network debates on how video games actually help prepare children prepare for the inevitable apocalypse; zombie, cyborg, or nuclear. I have never heard a more true statement:
“Playing video games all day, alone and friendless, is simply the best way we have to prepare our children for a life of solitude in a barren wasteland.”
Here’s a wiki articles on The Onion for those who are not in the know.
Just a quick look at the game for anybody who’s wondering. It looks like a fun game, but not for $50. Maybe $19.99 or $29.99 since it’s “on rails”.

deviantART.com artist, Golden-Silver, has given us a detailed illustration of what he has learned from Left 4 Dead, and how it can prepare us all for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
Check it out here.
I like the House of the Dead games; they’re always fun. I can’t see myself spending $50 for an “on rails” game though. If I want to play a game like this, I’ll go to an arcade; if I can find one; or just pop in House of the Dead on my Sega Dreamcast. House of the Dead: Overkill is on shelves now; only on Wii.

Wow, I can’t believe it. DLC for free? That’s amazing. Any DLC I ever want costs money, even if it’s just a little gamer picture. Valve has announced that the DLC that features “Surviva” and “Versus” will be free to Xbox 360 and PC owners.
That’s it I guess…What else is there to say or comlain about? It’s free!
Yes! Finally! Here comes the zombie apocalypse; it’s beautiful. Last week, a viral video hit the interwebs; it was believed to be a trailer for Dead Rising 2. Turns out, it was. Watch that video here. Capcom has officially announced Dead Rising 2. This time it will not only infect the Xbox 360, but the PS3 and PC as well. The game takes place a few years after the first, and the infection has spread throughout the entire United States. You’ll be killing zombies in Fortune City, and the main character is no longer Frank West. So, new location, new main character. No release date yet; the game is still in development. Check out some screenshots below. – Joystiq
