Far be it from me to point out the obvious when it comes to exhausted genres but the living dead as a plot mechanic in games and films has pretty much run it’s course. Or has it?
The trailer above for ZombiU which is a game exculsively for the Nintendo Wii U ingeniously adds an extra dimension to the first person zombie shooter as it incorporates the Wii U’s special gamepad, with embedded touchscreen, as a supplementary device when playing, so that the game is played on both the TV and controller screen, ramping up the tension, excitement and panic throughout.
