Zombie Smashers X2

I just noticed that you’ve got about 9 hours left to download the full version of Zombie Smashers X2 (all 171 megs of it!) from Game Giveaway of the Day. This game is like River City Ransom plus zombies, and you get tattoos to upgrade your fighting abilities. Do I really need to say more? Get this now.

Okay, well I’ll add that the creator of ZSX2 is currently working on The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, for XBLA. The Dishwasher won Microsoft’s Dream-Build-Play XNA game competition a few months ago, and looks fantastic.

Dream-Build-Play Winners Announced

The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai

(Dream-Build-Play is a contest for games built with Microsoft’s XNA Studio.)

Check the results: in a surprise move, D-B-P officials have chosen 2 games for 1st place, and 2 games for 2nd place, offering XBLA publishing deals to all of them! Whoa. That’s kind of a big change to the rules. But more games is never a bad thing.

Congratulations to the winners. Dead Samurai is the one that piques my interest the most, with its gothy atmosphere and sweet, bloody action. It’s made by the guys who did the Zombie Smashers series of games, which I enjoyed.

But hey, no Samurai Soul Hunters? What gives?!

Zombie Smashers X3: Ninjastarmageddon is out. I don’t know whether we can still beat the crap out of zombies (with their own body parts) or not, because I’m still in the process of downloading the 40 MB demo. Judging by the speed of my connection, it could take days…
