Pop culture’s necromantic obsession with zombies permeates just about every genre and sub-genre today across various media. No longer are the walking dead meant to horrify; in today’s entertainment, they feel, present and ‘live’ out dilemmas, and exist as superhero stand-ins. This stray from a classic interpretation may fluster some, but it’s hard to deny the enjoyably masochistic vehicle zombies create and this game is for those who lost their interest in miniclip games .

Really, the concept is just too fun not to play around with, something Capcom know. Bashing zombies with blunt objects; pelting a zombie with plates; dicing a zombie with a sword: these are all activities you could relish in Dead Rising. There was a survival story in there, sure, but the game was about gratuitous violence against the flesh-hungry undead.

Treyarch, formerly a sort of second-string provider of Call of Duty content, has swung for the fences this time around now that the creative force behind the series has exited Infinity Ward. Trading in spectacular set-pieces and a jigsaw puzzle story for a slightly more coherent narrative, Black Ops’ single-player campaign is where the game has clearly tried to innovate and differentiate itself from earlier entries in the series.

In a generation where we’ve effectively stopped counting polygons in games, and have instead sought our eye candy in multiple dimensions over measurements of feet (or meters), it’s a wonder how a mere number of inches (or centimeters) can produce a feeling of awe in more diminutive devices. The handheld may be king in the realm of puzzle seekers or quick-fix addicts, but with technophiles on the move, sometimes a rehashed version of Tetris doesn’t always scratch the mobile gaming itch.

Think about it this way: Are you familiar with the phrase “Size Matters”? Because when Ready at Dawn Studios and SCE’s Santa Monica Studios collaborate, they obviously don’t. It wasn’t too long ago both camps teamed up and cranked out the highest …click here to read more
