George Romeros City of the Dead Video Game Screenshots !

Our buddies from Game-Reviews have 3 new screenshots for the upcoming Zombie game inspired by the movies of George Romero. Some of you might know, that Hip Games, signed an agreement with Living Dead Productions Limited to produce a George Romero series of video games on all current and upcoming platforms. One of them is "City of the Dead" (we reported earlier). But did you also know that  Tom Savini, star of "From Dusk Till Dawn" and a noted horror makeup artist, is cast in a pivotal role in "City of the Dead" ?

Savini will bring his instantly recognizable voice and likeness to William "Red" McLean, a battle-worn ex-law enforcement officer who is a survivor to the core. Savini's character will initially provide fire support in the game then be playable, allowing gamers to experience the game through the eyes of "Red."

"City of the Dead" begins as four desperate survivors escape a ravaged zombie infested city by helicopter. After making it to the remote island of Isla Mortal, an accident destroys their only means of escape. Unbeknown to them the island is home to a top secret military installation, overrun by the walking dead. Armed with an arsenal of traditional and futuristic weaponry, players must battle the living dead from dusk 'till dawn in series of abandoned locales. With split-screen co-op missions, party mode, and four-player online feature, "City of the Dead" also promises a range of multiplayer features that allow gamers to play as human or zombie.

Developed by Kuju Entertainment and set in the George A. Romero universe, "City of the Dead" will be released on the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC CD-ROM in spring 2006.
