The PC version of Wideload games excellent Stubbs the Zombie has
shipped to stores and will be in stores next week. I really
enjoy the game and if you don't have an Xbox this game is kind of a
steal at $39.99.
As a side note the game is backwards compatible with the Xbox 360. Something I plan on testing out later tonight.
PC
VERSION OF STUBBS THE ZOMBIE AVAILABLE NEXT
WEEK
PC gamers get ready to lose your head this month, or
at least your brains, on both the PC and the Xbox 360. Stubbs the Zombie
is making its way onto the PC and will be available at retailers nationwide
starting next week. Also, the Xbox version of Stubbs will be backwards
compatible on the Xbox 360 when it comes out next week.
In this
third-person action game, players take on the role of the rebel himself –
Stubbs, a wisecracking Zombie who takes on an ultra-modern city of the future
using nothing but his own carcass and the weapons of his possessed enemies. The
game’s tongue-in-cheek humor, innovative combat, and strong storyline keep
Stubbs the Zombie’s gameplay completely unpredictable. Using the Halo
engine, the game, which is rated M for Mature, has a SRP of $39.99 for the PC
version and $49.99 for the Xbox version.
On the technical side, the PC
version of Stubbs the Zombie has employed many rendering techniques for
special effects to offer PC players a great game playing experience. The game
was largely developed and tested on NVIDIA® GeForce™ FX, 6 Series and 7 Series
graphics cards to get the best high-quality rendering available. The PC version
also supports the Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ series sound card, so that players can
enjoy the brain-eating sound effects and twisted humor comments even more with
immersive EAX® ADVANCED HD™-capable effects of superior audio fidelity,
and
ultra fast 3D sound performance.
