  • “Zombie Army 4: Dead War” Review

    Hitler’s hordes are back for more in this spine-chilling shooter from the makers of Sniper Elite 4! Abominable occult enemies, epic weapons and a harrowing new campaign for 1-4 players await in 1940s Europe, as you fight to save humankind from undead Armageddon!

    A barely there story wrapped around a barely there shooting game with uneven game mechanics and wave after wave of singular enemies do not make for a game that I enjoyed. I found nearly the entire game to be unsatisfying for many reasons, but the one that I’m going to pick on in this review is the story, it’s a try hard edge lord alternative history in which instead of killing himself at the end of World War 2, Hitler sucked power from Hell itself, zombified his armies, then disappeared into the hellscape below our reality. You and three of your closest friends are given some of the most boring and nearly ineffective weapons to raze a path of destruction through the hordes of undead between you and the mystery at the center of the Nazi army zombie uprising. You find some allies along the way, some of whom turn out to be more than they’re letting on, then you eventually make your way to Hell itself where you fight the born again Hitler in his Hell Tank. It’s at this point that I found the first gun that was actually satisfying to use, some kind of anointed machine gun that did actual damage to the enemies, but it wasn’t for long and it was far too little way too late.

    I’m sure that if you’re into alternative history stories you’ll have a different opinion about this than I do, especially if you enjoy using WW2 era weapons, but neither of these elements appeal to me in the slightest, so I wasn’t too impressed with the game in the end.

    World War Z An Oral History of the Zombie War a book by Max Brooks

    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – “Prepare to be entranced by this addictively readable oral history of the great war between humans and zombies.”–Entertainment Weekly We survived the zombie apocalypse, but how many of us are still haunted by that terrible time? We have (temporarily?) defeated the living dead, but at what cost? Told in the haunting and riveting voices of the men and women who witnessed the horror firsthand, World War Z is the only record of the pandemic. The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years. THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE”Will spook you for real.”–The New York Times Book Review “Possesses more creativity and zip than entire crates of other new fiction titles. Think Mad Max meets The Hot Zone. . . . It’s Apocalypse Now, pandemic-style. Creepy but fascinating.”–USA Today “Will grab you as tightly as a dead man’s fist. A.”–Entertainment Weekly, EW Pick “Probably the most topical and literate scare since Orson Welles’s War of the Worlds radio broadcast . . . This is action-packed social-political satire with a global view.”–Dallas Morning News

     

    This is at least my second time reading the full book, I have a hard copy that I read in nearly one sitting while on a work trip and in my hotel room, and it remains one of the best zombie books that I’ve ever read. I’m happy they made a movie out of the basic concept, but I look forward to a time when the book is re-adapted by someone like HBO/Netflix/Amazon and it’s given the proper anthology treatment it deserves.

    iZombie

    Created by Diane Ruggiero-Wright, Rob Thomas. With Rose McIver, Malcolm Goodwin, Rahul Kohli, Robert Buckley. A medical resident finds that being a zombie has its perks, which she uses to assist the police.

    I actually finished this series last year but lost track of my show tracking and didn’t log this in my tracker, so here we are. iZombie is a show that originally was on the CW, ran for a total of 71 episodes from 2015-2019 and I think ultimately had it’s final season on Netflix? My limited research is unclear on that, but I know I watched the entire thing on Netflix, the great content vacuum in the cloud. Apparently the last couple seasons are difficult to actually purchase in either physical or digital forms, so if you want to watch it all on the same medium, papa Netflix is your only choice.

    As for the show itself, if I told you that the guy that was in charge of Veronica Mars made iZombie, you’d immediately see it, even if you look past the pretty blonde white girl as the lead, the banter, the story structures and ultimate the ending of the show all feel fantastically familiar. I don’t mean that as a knock to either Kristen Bell or Rose McIver, but they do fit a particular stereo type.

    I enjoyed the show, even despite it’s constant “are they or aren’t they” state of zombism and anti-zombie antidotes that seemed to flip flop characters every 6 episodes, it was a fun ride that I wish they had been able to wrap up a little better than they did. I’ve never read the comics and I hear that they’re somewhat different, so maybe I’ll give them a go and see how they wrapped up the story there.
