Advantages: simple yet absorbing boardgame
Disadvantages: none

...The town was in flames as I walked town the main street, trusty shotgun ready, eyes peeled for any movement. The zombie hoard had been ravaging civilization for what seemed like days, but was really only twenty-five minutes. Z-day was here and all I had to do was survive the onslaught, kill or be killed, send this half dead horde back to hell in a handcart. There was a slim chance that I could find my way through this carnage to the helipad and away to safety, a very slim chance. There were other survivors, but this was every man for himself, friendship and family ties counted for nothing anymore, only one person was going to make it out of here alive and it was going to be me, it had to be me. And then it happened, I turned the corner only to be faced with a dead end, damn this town and its unfathomable twisting illogical streets. As I... Read review

Advantages: A very funny book

Advantages: Different to other zombie movies. Nice scenery.
Disadvantages: Bad dubbing, poor special effects

...A foreign horror movie, Zombie Lake is a French/Spanish production which was filmed in France. The original language was French, but this DVD version has been dubbed into English. The original French title for the movie was 'Le Lac de Mortes Vivante', which translates to 'The Lake Of The Living Dead'. As this suggests, as well as the English title 'Zombie Lake', this film is centered around a lake which is cursed, and is home to some blood-hungry undead. The plot basically begins with the disappearance and killings of multiple female victims. When bodies are found, each victim has been bitten in the throat. The town's mayor is an expert in local history, and it is revealed that during World War II, the French Resistance ambushed and slaughtered a small Nazi patrol which passed nearby the town. To avoid detection, the French... Read review

Advantages: quirky, unique songs with a lot of dry humour - unusual for Iggy
Disadvantages: a couple of weak songs

...and produced the album, Clem Burke played drums and Rob Duprey is credited with 'all else.' Iggy's old girlfriend, photographer Esther Friedmann, took the cover photo, showing Iggy seated at a café table with a Coke and a 7-Up, during a holiday in Hawaii. Iggy spent some weeks there during the summer of 1982 completing work on his collection of reminiscences. Together with journalist Anne Wehrer he had been taping autobiographical recollections over the previous year. Often hysterically funny, full of absurd road stories and some terrific pictures, the finished book, I Need More, was published by Karz-Cohl shortly after the release of Zombie Birdhouse in September 1982 - a smart bit of marketing synchronicity. Zombie Birdhouse opens with "Run Like A Villain" - a reassuringly familiar barrage of growling guitars over a lopsided tribal beat... Read review

Advantages: Arcade perfect conversion.
Disadvantages: FAR too short.

...Zombie Revenge is best descrived as a cross between Streets Of Rage and Resident Evil. It follows the same plot as House Of The Dead only from a third person perspective, anyone not familure with Zombie Revenge should be able to figure out what its like from that description me thinks ;) Zombie Revenge always used to be the first machine I went to play when paying my local amusement arcade center a visit. Its just what you want in an arcade game as it offers instant playability and the opertunity to stay on the machine for quite a while if your skills are up to the job. The version of Zombie Revenge ported to the dreamcast is almost identical, appart from some unimportant extras, to the game residing in your arcade, and thats where this game falters. Yes, it works in the arcade but as a home console game it is far too short lived... Read review

Advantages: sublime pastoral elegance
Disadvantages: all too brief

...Its seems rather unfortunate and at least unfair that The Zombies are regarded as little more than a footnote to pop and rocks golden days of the 1960,s ,true they did have to compete with the Beatles and The Kinks and The Who just for starters ,but of course this thing of rare and singular beauty could never have been borne from the triviality of competition or catch up ,at the heart of "Odessey and Oracle " are a centurys dead and the mist of a n English autumn in an English town ,its melancholic sounds echo the crumbling beauty of summers end and the yearning loss of summers endless promise ,never delivered ,lost in hibernation as winter like love sometimes gets colder leaving just a memory ,of course i could go on but you would have no real idea of what this breath taking record actually sounds like . The clarity... Read review
