Title: Remember Shellshock?

You know, that really shitty Vietnam war game? There's a "sequel!" I guess when you have the IP, why not use it, for something, anything.

To be fair though, this actually sounds like it could be a hoot

Wrong Shellshock I was thinking of.... I was thinking of US Gold's cheesy "urban themed" tank game. Man that was shitty.

That'd make two shitty Shellshock games. Not that I played much of Shellshock, but what I experienced was pretty much shit.

This doesn't sound all that shitty. Throw zombies at it, and it will turn to gold.

It'll probably be better than the original.

No amount of cheap lighting tricks can cover up the fact that graphics are horrifyingly bad.

Why are they making a Vietnam game with zombies?  Why can't they make a Vietnam game where you murder children and rape their women and do lots of heroin?

So those Guerrilla goofballs aren't behind this one? Might actually have a chance to be decent. A small one.

Those are the guys behind that god awful Dredd game, yeah? That's not good news, but who knows.

If the developer of the original Shellshock can improve, then so can anyone. Then again, I'm guessing these guys don't have that type of budget and support.
