Additive Interactive has announced that George A. Romero’s App of the Dead will be hitting the Apple App Store at some point soon. The application will allow users to zombify pictures of yourself and others with over 20 different zombie ‘features’ (cuts, scars, gore). It also somehow allows you to ‘shoot’ the zombies you make. Social networkers can also upload these zombie creations to their FaceBook and as well as other sites for all to see. No word yet on pricing.
Looks like Activision has been busy trademarking several unannounced Call of Duty title possibilities! Call of Duty: Future Warfare (parts 1 through 3), SecretWarfare 2 and 3, SpaceWarfare 2 and 3… Tons of titles – will be interesting to see what actually gets made and what stays on the corner of the proverbial white board.

Looks like when yours truly and TheJester attend the Project Natal Experience on the Sunday before E3 in Los Angeles, we will be treated to a special performance by Cirque Du Soleil – so sayeth an email from Microsoft today. Now, I am not a huge fan of the ‘circus’, but, it is worth noting that while I am trying out the full launch-lineup of Natal titles that there will be acrobatics going on all around us!
Stay-tuned for more E3 2010 news as it breaks!
Last week, MMO site MMO-Champion posted up a bunch of leaked images and details from the alpha test of Blizzard’s upcoming Cataclysm expansion for World of Warcraft. Today, the site has officially-removed that leaked data at the request of Blizzard Entertainment. The also announced that they are no longer permitting alpha test details to be posted at all on their forums.
From the MMO-Champion Announcement:
‘Blizzard asked us to remove all the content from the Cataclysm Alpha on
the site. I don’t have any reason or project to be an internet superhero
because none of the underwear I have look nice over my pants and I’m in
the process of removing all the content from the site.’
The site claims it will re-enable the info and images once the NDA lifts on the expansion.
