Here's something I've been hooked on for the last two weeks. It is a game set in the English city of Malton that has been over run by zombies. Now you can either be a survivor and try and turn back the tide of the undead, or more likely... survive, Or you could be one of the many zombies in this post-apoctyliptic world.

First, this is a true lunch break game. The game is turned based where you get about 50 actions every day. Now you can use those fifty actions to blast some zombie ass, search for supplies, and barricade the building you are in so tight it'd make fort knox look like a chain link fence. Honestly, it only takes 20 minutes to control 3 charicters, but oh man are those 20 minutes fun.

As for game tips, I suggest you read the FAQs. No, I demand you read the FAQs other wise you won't know what the hell is going on. Like for instance, when you log off, your charicter is still on the map, this makes finding a safe house very important. Also, you can find a handy dandy map in the FAQs which is quite usefull.

Let me say though, the game is slow. Most people don't level within the first 4-5 days of playing. Also, this game is new, made over the summer by a horror movie enthusiest named Kevin, it is only 2 months old, but suprisingly stable.

And, poke around the forums for a bit, it's always nice to get a bit of info and newbie guides after you're done with your APs.

Urban Undead linkage

Basic guides, very handy

So if you like zombie movies, George Romero, or the apocolypse, then this game is for you.

Sounds like great fun. I'll play it when I get home, and I'll try to kill you, Kirby. tongue.gif

Edit: On the subject of zombies, I just saw what may be the coolest thing ever. A kid was walking around with an Umbrella Corporation T-shirt! I wanty!

It's passable, but what's the long term play incentive?

Why, if it's set in England, do cops have guns? They should be able to give the zomibes a slap on the wrist but not much else.

They were probably logged off at the time. If you log off, your charicter doesn't just dissapear off of the map, he stays untill you log back on and do something.

I've got a character in running distance (Roachtown PD, I think). Let me know where you're holed up.

Before I do though, Is anyone a Zombie, and can anyone barracade?

We're in the heavily barricaded Cowing Way Police Dept. I explored some and jumped back in here. It's just after my spawn point, so everyone who was a firefighter barricaded it up. You should be able to make it if you move diagonally.

Edit: When I went exploring, I noticed a few zombies northwest of my position, but you should be able to run past them, and there's none where I am.

The forts gonna be the problem. Armourys attract people, people attract zombies. Don't rely on the PD defences too much. The LSN forums mention a number of mass zombie attack plans......

Let's wait on the others first, just in case there's a better location to meet at.

(Besides, I'm out of AP)

I'd suggest the south side of the map, reports say that 'The Many' (an orginized zombie hoard that numbers between 60-100) is up in the NE. Penny Heights is a nice enough place, has the PDs and Hospitals that you would need.

Oh and I forgot to tell you guys my charicter names:

Axemaster, North Blythvill (fireman)
Jeffypoo, Santlervill (main charicter, medic, but currently dead. After I find the fucker that heavily barricaded my safehouse, I'll get revived)
Serrai, Penny Heights (Private, armed to the teeth, 10 points if you can tell me where his name comes from)

Oh and on heavily barricaded buildings, you can't get into them unless you have free running. It's a real pain in the ass to get around this so most un-retarded people keep baricades at 'quite strong'.

I've got a firefighter called Anvilhawk in Keys Cinema, Tollyton - I don't know where that is in relation to anywhere else - I seem to be able to get into barricaded buildings - I mainly just walk around, hit any zombies I find with my axe and then hide in a building.

I'll be waiting for you guys.

Then I assume we'll travel southwest in search of zombie smashing?
