Zombie outbreak confirmed for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC

zombies_board_game.jpgZombies may not be coming to Grand Theft Auto IV, but they're on their way anyway in the form of a port of the board game, Zombies!!! The makers of the board game announced that a developer called Big Rooster is working on the port, which will be out next year for the Xbox 360 via Xbox LIve, the PS3 via the Playstation Store, and the PC via Steam.

Originally released in 2001, Zombies!!! has been a consistent seller and is considered one of the core products in the hobby-game industry. The base set has sold over 125,000 copies worldwide. It has also spawned many expansions and spin-offs. Combined, Zombies!!! products have sold in excess of 300,000 units.

In Zombies!!! players race around the board trying to find a way to escape the ever-growing zombie horde. The game is simple to play and extremely addictive according to its fans. The tile based board and the many expansions work to keep the game fresh and new each time you play it.

Considering the ports of Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride, Xbox Live in particular is becoming an increasingly awesome place for boardgamers. And now for zombie fans.
