That's quite a mouthful for a headline, eh? Nation Red does look quite cool, and I was going to write it off for being "another zombie thing" until I saw how well reviewed it is.
Heck, even TotalBiscuit loved it:
Two days ago I spotted it pop up on the excellent SteamDB with this:
No word on a release date yet, so take this with a pinch of salt for now.

August 17, 1977
Scattered groups of zombies infiltrate remote Midwestern towns. Incapable of using tools or weapons, the invaders are resisted until they retreat back into the desert. Special elimination posses are set up to hunt down any of the surviving undead. Six weeks after the squads started their search-and-destroy mission, the last known zombie was shot and killed.
Present-day
Over thirty years had passed when a truck driver traveling down a desolate Arizona road plows into a wall of undead. Before the driver's phone signal went dead, he reported some were carrying guns... They're back and now they are hunting us. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:

Quoting: BeamboomProblem is, journalism is not about opinion. Never was.That was my point. A movie critic is not a journalist, and a game reviewer is no different. Recently there's been a lot of confusion regarding the meaning of these terms in public discussion. This has been further muddled by main stream news outlets failing to make the distinction.
Quoting: BeamboomAnd I wish there were more journalism within gaming media. Not just amateurs who believe their opinions are just as valid as anybody elses.Good journalism clearly separates fact from opinion and identifies them as such. Research is diligent and sources are provided. (One pet peeve is the trend to cite "experts" with no further elucidation.) Editorials and opinion pieces are fine and even useful. You can't expect every reader to be informed enough on the subject to make their own analysis. Obvious spin, marketing and propaganda are different of course, although I guess it's the less obvious kind that does the "damage".
Journalism is supposed to disseminate unbiased information, but that doesn't do much to help you decide if a piece of entertainment (like a game) tickles your fancy.
Quoting: BeamboomI blame the fact that it has become accepted that as long as easily digested "clickbait" brings in the readers, it's okay to give up on journalistic integrity. I guess good journalism does not survive hard capitalism.Quoting: tuubiI'm more concerned with the rest of the media, where even previously highly reputable news outlets are rapidly losing their standards.They aere challenged indeed, but I put that blame on the amateurs, who almost force through low journalistic standards with their poor fact-checking and sloppy, left handed work. If that is the competition, what can serious media do to meet that competition?

Lots of good points there, @tuubi, and I'm dying to continue the discussion. But let's not hijack this thread anymore.
Sorry, Liam. :)
