EnemaEms Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Anyone looking forward to this new game from Bungie co-founder's, Alex Seropian, new studio Wideload? Those not familiar with it can read about it here. The game stars Stubbs The Zombie and will be for the X-box. You get to turn people into zombies, eat their brains, use your hand to travel into tight spots and also to posses other humans. This is one of my most anticipated games of the year. The game looks fresh and original. Here is an image from the game. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnemaEms Posted January 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I guess I should of worded that a bit different, huh? You can actually remove your hand and control it to get into places your whole body can't fit. I think that's a bit better. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Zot Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Definitely an original. Keep an eye peeled for the reviews later this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted January 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I cannot wait to hear that soundtrack. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Gamespot has an updated Hands-On preview of the game. It sounds like it is coming together nicely with some nice strategy elements of using your zombie posse. Again, I cannot wait to play as Stubbs. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Here are two new hilarious trailers for the game. It definitely looks like a winner so far. The gameplay looks fast paced and fun, and controlling other humans using your dismembered hand looks like a blast. Take a look: Stubbs Trailer 1 Stubbs Trailer 2 (Second one is still uploading) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 1up.com has thier review up for Stubbs the Zombie. They gave the game a 9.0 and heaped tons of praise on it's simple, but fun mechanics. You can read the whole thing here: http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3144774&did=1 Regardless, Stubbs is one of those rare games that manages to not only be creative and challenge many of the game industry norms, but do so within the confines of an extremely entertaining and polished game. The Xbox game market may be quiet these days, but don't let that mislead you from picking up one of the best games it's seen in quite some time.

Camp Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 The soundtrack goes on sale tomorrow. Here's it's listing at Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Ebgames got exactly 2 copies of Stubbs in. I now own one of them. I'll be giving the game a try before I delve into Shadow of the Colossus. I'll come back with some quick impressions on it for you guys to mull over.

Romier S Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Very early impressions here gentleman so keep that in mind. Stubbs is just such an outright fun game so far. It's built on the Halo engine, so all of the menu's are similiar. You create a profile, select the difficulty etc. in an almost identical way. Anyone who played the original Halo will get a big sense of deja vu here. The games physics are also straight out of Halo so anyone that loved the crazy physics in that game will love them here. Stubbs can also control some vehicles (I've tried two of them) and the first one controls exactly like a warthog. That is pretty much where the similiarities end. So what is the point of Stubbs? Nothing more than to wreak havoc it seems! The minute the game starts you just pop right out from the ground and the game walks you through a quick tutorial showing you how to much on brains. The absolute most hilarious thing is that anyone brains you eat rises up to help you. I had an army of 20 zombies following me and attacking and stray pedestrians.:lmfao You can shove zombies out of the way, and you can also whistle at them to come and help you out or follow you so that you can take them home to meet mom. The game has a psuedo 50's style and the soundtrack is priceless. The humor is also not in your face and subtle. I got a good bit of laughter just out of the menu system alone. The loading screen for instance has a sound clip of zombies moaning "Brains!". I won't be able to delve deeper into the gameplay until I'm done with Shadow of the Colossus, but I'm having a great time with it so far.

Angry the Clown Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 If a UK release fails to materialise before the end of the year this is one I may break down and import. Frustratingly Amazon UK list the soundtrack CD, and even the players guide book but not the game itself, and I can’t find any UK retailer listing it so clearly there is no European date yet.

Cyberwoo Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Does this game have online coop? if so I just might buy this one. If not it has rental written all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff W Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Haven't opened it yet but it has nothing about online anything on the box, does have 2 player co-op though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff W Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Finished it last night, it's a bit short but was fun throughout. I' don't regret buying it but any of you non-zombie nuts might want to consider a rental first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Daddy Bling Bling Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I bought it and I kind of wish I hadn't. I probably should have picked The Warriors instead. As far as Halo clones go, I prefer Brute Force. It's not a horrible game by any means, but there isn't really any aspect of it that I could describe as 'impressive'.

Romier S Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 It's not a horrible game by any means, but there isn't really any aspect of it that I could describe as 'impressive'. It's fun and really opens up as you move on. The game really comes into it's own once you get the ability to posses the living with your hand. The only real problem I had with it was how completely short it was. I was able to finish the game in under five hours. For a game that's been in development for quite some time, it's sad to see it got so little content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff W Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 The ending of the police station level with the police chief had me rolling, thank god there was no more of that though as it could have gotten gimmicky quick. Anyone else feel they did a nice job with the firearms in this one? They really had a nice punch to them and sounded good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
