Zombie Mosh

Anyone who has a Facebook knows about the irritating game known as FarmVille. If you don't know about the horrid thing
You have entered the relm of the lving dead and Death's daughter Darcy wants you to open mosh pit club that's like gotte be the most wicked , evil, and totally rockin mosh pit around.


 Oh, Joy!


Darcy gleefully tells me that anytime I have a human in my club I that must take that little kipper and bury them so that they to can become a zombling. In other words We don't take kindly to humans around these parts.

Your missions get you on the track to undead fame and fortune. They are of course inside Darcy's diary. The missions range from making your club spiffy looking to mass murder.

I wasn't Kidding.

The game is pretty much exactly like farmville, but instead of planting seeds and growing produce; you're pretty much burying humans alive and producing zombies. YAY! Like farmville you have a variety on what kind plant life you wish to put in your garden and Zombie Mosh is the same:; the game allows you to bury and give way to all sorts of zomblings like a bridezilla, the grim reaper, and even the Easter Bunny.

Now, you're probably wondering at this point "what on earth do I do with all these zomblings I'm creating? Do I take them to market to sell?" Haha well my puzzled gentle viewer if this game was as lame or fun (Zombie Black Market Anyone?) as Farmville that would be the case, but in Zombie Mosh when one creates zombies you're goal is to mosh their little zombie brains out in hope that you'll find money and other treats inside. (Told ya this was a violent.)



Not much else can be said about Zombie Mosh, the game is pretty much just a darker twist on the Farmville phenomenon. You get a chance to decorate your property, purchase and grow undead fiends, and help out your neighbors and depend on help from your neighbors to complete tasks.


There is one thing that sets the game apart from other Farmville knockoffs and that's the music. Unlike other games where the same tuneless melody plays over and over; Zombie Mosh has the type of music one would hear in a rock/alternative club. The music simply kicks-ass in my opinion and I'm not ashamed to admit that I now have songs on my i-pod that I discovered through this game.

American Mcgee's: Alice Madness Returns

She's back! Miss Alice is not well because her Wonderland has gone back to hell. The long awaited sequel to American Mcgee's Alice is finally here after eleven long years. This time Alice must come back to Wonderland after eleven years and save it from the evil that resides within it and her. You can come and play with Alice on June 14th, 2011 on PS3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows.


Before its release a few horrific teaser trailers have found a way onto the inter-webs. One thing is sure the game is bound to be bloody good fun.






There have been talks about a film adaption for awhile now, many seem to think Tim Burton is the man for the job. I on the other hand can't help, but think of Zack Snyder. Have you seen the trailer for Sucker Punch? It looks quite similar to the overall game's style. Not to mention the quote "This is Madness! This is WONDERLAND!" will likely make an appearance.

(Note: I can't help but be amazed by all the lovely outfits Alice has been given. I can almost guarantee that a future Halloween costume shall be inspired by one of them.)




The original Alice was released in 2000 and was highly acclaimed for it's graphics and complexity. It was released by EA games and was their first game even given the Mature rating. The game is highly sought after and copies have been known to be $50-100 sometimes more. For years there have been rumors about a movie in the making. Rumors have involved Wes Craven and Sarah Michelle Gellar owning rights to the film. To better understand the new game, why not check out the original? The original opening scene of the game can be seen below.

Haunted Mansion: Black Widow Bride Game

I'm not much of a gamer. I just don't seem to have the patience or attention span to really stick with anything. I pretty much just play a game online once awhile. I recently came across the most adorable Haunted Mansion game on Disney.

The game revolves around the three hitchhiker ghosts freeing all 999 ghosts and five grooms from the clutches from the Black Widow Bride. I suppose it's a basic walk through level type of game and gamers who are much more action oriented will probably tire of the game quickly.


The games greatest strength is that all of the game's animation is based on the artwork Shag did for Haunted Mansion's 40th anniversary. I shall do a post in the future dedicated to the awesomeness that is Shag.

 The game tries to keep things a little bit more interesting by adding certain tasks to each level. Here you can see one of the Hitchhiker ghosts putting together the Haunted Mansion's iconic portraits.



 Each level of the game is based on a certain section of the ride. The game itself might not be that interesting, but fans of the ride will keep playing just so they can see what the next level beholds. The game takes about two hours to complete and is hardly difficult.


Proof I finished. You can play the game by clicking on the link below.

For those of you who haven't heard Guillermo del Toro is in charge of a new Haunted Mansion film. It's supposed to revolve around the hat box ghost. If the movie does good it will probably mean that Disney will finally put him on the ride.

Organ Trail:Zombie Style

All is lost! The zombie epidemic has finally came to be and there is no turning back. The United States capital of Washington D.C. has been issued under termination status by the government. The survivors have no other alternative, but to flee and head west in hope of  a better and zombie-free way of life.



Organ Trail is a new spin on the classic game. Instead of  hitting the Oregon trail and heading west in chances of a new plentiful life, you are now heading west to the safe zone in hope that you'll be out of reach from the undead fiends. The game is pretty basic and mostly resembles the earlier versions of the westward game.
 

Like the original game you have to find ways to obtain food, keep your party healthy, and keep your chosen transportation in tip top shape. There are a few things you have to account for though and that is that every step you take on this journey is zombie filled.



 
Don't take the candy this guy gives you.

The game  is fairly simple, but a little bit of strategy is needed to succeed.


*TIPS* (Ignore if you want to just figure everything out on your own.)

If you pick the hardest level that leaves you to get your supplies in  hours divide your time collecting these items.
  *6 hours to gather gas (You can't win or go anywhere in the game without this)
*1 hour for bullets (Don't bother gathering food. Gather your food outside the main city instead and you should have all the bullets you need for the whole game.)
* 1 hour spend on medical kit or money.
Make sure you leave in early morning and it's best to travel by night.
If you spot a tombstone by the road don't investigate. Of course if you're really curious go right on ahead.

Use your medical kits only when a member of your party has passed out. The medical kits can not cure illness so rest is your only hope.


The game takes a hour on average to play and can be found at hatsproductions.com or by clicking on this link. I wish there were more obstacles in the game to make things a bit more interesting, but it really is a work  in progress. The game is always getting updates so be sure to check back. If you are a fan of the classic Oregon Trail you'll most definitely like this game.
