The other night I was playing a late night game of Fallout 3 when my friend, Jeff popped online and asked me if I had been playing Red Dead Redemption. I shook my head, noting that Grand Theft Auto 4 left a bad taste in my mouth and when I heard the game described as “Grand Theft Auto” on a horse, I had no interest whatsoever. To which he responded, “… but it’s gonna have zombies in it.”

I’m such a sucker. Take a game that I don’t like and throw zombies in it, and I’ll be singing it’s praises. I found myself very interested in this game. Needless to say, I didn’t rush down to the store to pick myself up a copy, but rather I did a little online research to see what I could find. Here’s the skinny:

Undead Nightmare Pack (“Fall” 2010; $10)

- Ghost towns and cemeteries come alive in a West gone horribly wrong
- Brand new single-player adventure, challenges and quests
- 8 new multiplayer zombie characters
- Additional animals unleashed in the world
- New dynamic events and more

While it doesn’t want to make me drop sixty bucks on the game, it does capture my interest so to speak. Needless to say, I’m keep my ear to the ground. Hopefully, I’ll hear something good. That said, if you currently own the game — lock and load, friend. There’s going to be zombies in your neighborhood, partner.
