 In ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, the name says it all. With hordes upon hordes of the undead in 55 days, will you survive? You’ll play as one of four survivors (up to four player multiplayer co-op is available), which are probably the best line-up of characters I have seen in a zombie shooter. There’s Harlan, a med student with extreme OCD (he color-codes every surgical tool to match the seasons); Natalie, a natural athlete who always wanted to be a stuntwoman (she’s also schizophrenic); Jimmy is an extreme gamer, who, by the age of 10, was able to build his first arcade cabinet and to him, the zombies are just part of a game, and he’s going to get the high score; and finally, we have Ed, who dreamt of going to the military, but who’s bum knee squashed that. He also lost his wife to the pool boy, so when the zombies come, he don’t wanna lose no more.

 Behind the mixture of shredding guitars, hanging clouds of cigarette smoke, and drunken ne'er do wells, heavy metal music often evokes imagery of the long passed Medieval Times – not the restaurant, but the actual era in civilization's history with castles and knights and kings and such. Band members clad in leather, chains and spikes wail and scream about dragon's fire, blood, sacrifices, demons and magic. They sport long hair, beards, and boots fit for battle. They refer to their guitars as “axes,” and sometimes even have literal axes for guitars.

 A trip back in time to Feudal Japan gives centuries of vicious warfare and excess bloodshed. Who couldn't look at that gruesome historical period and think “How can we make this adorable?” Certainly not EIDOS and Lo-Interactive, who've provided a glimpse into the cuter side of militaristic ruling shoguns with MINI NINJAS.

 Why oh why can't space marines put aside their differences and combine their impressive knowledge of weaponry, medical technology, and combat robotics for the benefit of society? Imagine if all the needless battles between opposite-color-painted, mech-suit wearing, one-liner-spouting muscleheads ceased...disease would end, civilization would grow, everyone could play basketball in robot suits and slam dunk on 500 ft goals. We'll never know the blissful, carefree, cybernetically enhanced lifestyle of a peaceful and technologically advanced world because those space marines just won't let it quit, and SECTION 8 is no exception.

 Hello my fellow Fangorians, I’m speaking to you today from atop my skull-adorned soapbox. Please pardon my rant, but it is my hope that together we can do something about video game injustice. In addition to working at FANGORIA, I’m also a college professor. For the purposes of the article and to limit the amount of angry letters from horror fans, let’s say I work at University X. As classes began this year, I found myself trapped in many dull college orientations, one of which is the traditional orientation on how to use the crap in the library. How to find books, how to use the catalogue, where to find online journals, etc. It’s the same in every school across America.
