Sega's brilliantly mega sweary, crude, 'Grindhouse/Planet terror'-esque zombie homage seems to be getting great sales, and no wonder why. Someone's put some real love and effort in to making the game, and particularly it's marketing. In short pretty darn awesome. Sure the usual marketing material is out there, but it's only when you see the cheesy trailers ('horse love' version below), get the wallpapers and other downloads, alongside listening to the cheesy porntastic soundtrack, (check out the funky 'zombie shuffle') do you get the idea of how much love has been put in this to make it simply...'good fun'. All too often something left out by many these days in pursuit of money, compliance and endless bureaucracy.
However its one of the viral pieces that came to me linked from the games web site which allows you to create your own 70's schlocky, horror B movie poster that really got me even deeper in to converting to buy the game. And I definitely will be after a great all round experience through the site. The poster site is a great piece of flash programming that's effectively a mini Photoshop app.
Head to the main site or directly to the poster site for some fun. My poster efforts at the top of this post which you can click though to a larger version, and with such a great renowned director on board who wouldn't want to view this masterpiece : )

Update, just bought the 'bang bang box' set of the game. It's fantastic! Zombies galore. Get it quick as this is highly limited.
