I’ll definitely talk more about it when I get closer to a complete game. Just know that, even though this is not a zombie shooter, it is shaping up to be real competition for Zombpocalypse.  The action is pretty intense and the AI has much more variety.  On top of that, it will be available for download on your Xbox 360.
