Awesome Zombies

Set in a city clearly modeled after Las Vegas, we had fun watching the various zombie-killing implements in this Checklist trailer for Dead Rising 2; moose heads and chainsaw bikes FTW!

Hordes of zombies, buckets of blood and increasingly dangerous, mutated enemies: just another day in Raccoon City with this new trailer for Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles.

They may be based off of CG characters, but these 1:6 Resident Evil 5 figures are uber realistic (and sexy in the case of Shiva Alomar); they’ll of course come loaded with weaponry, too.

Brains are pretty high in cholesterol, so it’s a good idea for zombies to regularly hit the treadmill: this Eternal Exercise t-shirt gives new meaning to notions of the “walking undead.”

We’ve got zombie stormtroopers, card games, and weaponry, so why not Zombie Haiku? The undead reveal their penchant for the good ol’ 5-7-5; most poetic? “BRAINS”, 17 times in a row.

Jim Henson’s Resident Evil 5 isn’t particularly deep, but we weren’t expecting Oscar performances from Muppets; still, Cookie Monster’s gutted remains at 1:30 will forever haunt us.

Burn Zombie Burn’s weapons trailer is predictably awesome; everyone loves chainsaws and flamethrowers, but we’re most excited by the lawnmower and (we kid you not) dance gun.

We had to do a double take on these Left 5 Dead pictures; they’re actual photos with what looks like some HDR editing, done by the folks behind Night Zero (a photo comic book).

This music video for PopCap’s Plants vs. Zombies has a Korean-pop girl band sound to it, but the lyrics are actually pretty funny; the undead might just have a shot at the music business.

We’re not sure how we missed this awesome Cut Throat t-shirt by Electric Zombie; it’s not the quickest way to kill the undead, but the gory, bloody details on the slim-fit tee are fantastic.

A heresy of biblical proportions, Chris Thompson’s Zombie Hands t-shirt is a Catholic no-no; it puts an undead twist on Michelangelo’s renowned Sistine Chapel ceiling painting.

Call of Duty: World at War’s Nazi Zombies mode gets a proper trailer above; it’s an all-you-can-eat zombie buffet, filled with swarms of crawling undead, cola powerups and electric gates.

Human survivors may lack numbers, but they make up for it by being opportunistic bastards: Zombie Donkey turns the undead hordes into cheap transport and labor. Thanks, Brian!

Forget those plastic army men: Z.O.M.B.I.E. Series I features 2″ undead figures in various states of decay and is available in four sets (best: glow in the dark); includes trading cards.

Running almost twenty minutes long, the Episode 5 of Gametrailers’ Resident Evil Retrospective focuses on the uber-successful RE4 with a hat tip to its cinematic counterparts.

Lest your friends doubt your T-virus tracking skills, Capcom is selling two authentic BSAA jackets complete with patches and livery; you’ll need an Umbrella Corp-sized bank account.

Fresh flesh for Spring: Electric Zombie’s Spring/Summer ’09 line includes the tasty Outbreak hoodie, which features a gray all-over print, brainy lining and contrasting kangaroo pocket.

It’s very short, but this gameplay video of Resident Evil 5’s Uroboros has us slack-jawed over just how advanced graphics have gotten; it’s a nightmarish, shapeshifting mass of tentacles.

Foment your own undead rebellion with this 7.75″ R/C Zombie that groans as he shambles; he features a poseable joints and is operated by a brain-shaped remote control.

Just because you’re undead doesn’t mean you have to stop dabbling in astrology; The Zombie Zodiac offers twice monthly “Necroscopes” as well as Sign traits for Zombies and Survivors.

Wii owners with a hankering for polymorphic alien infestations won’t have to wait much longer: Dead Space:Extraction is a FPS prequel of the original and will be on shelves Fall 2009.

This latest 2009 trailer for Resident Evil 5 is our favorite thus far; it does a fantastic job showing that the real villains aren’t zombies or monsters but good ol’ scheming humans.

Jane Austen is clawing her way out of her grave: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies somehow blends witty repartee, blood-soaked battlefields and hordes of flesh-eating undead. Thanks, Kyle!
