We at Halfbrick are very happy to announce Age of Zombies \u2013 Rated T for TEEN<\/strong> – for the PSP and PS3 minis. We know what you are thinking \u2013 \u201cGreat, another %@&$in zombie game!\u201d<\/p>\n

We thought about that too. After years of research at the Halfbrick Researchalogical Datafiler Department, our team discovered a unique formula which determined that:<\/p>\n

(Proximity of gamers to zombies + stupidness and stuff) x Headblast Ratio 7.4 = Increased ability to spend money.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no denying it. Zombie games make money. No one has anything against a good zombie game really, it\u2019s just that there\u2019s a lot of them. So we needed to try something different. We didn\u2019t want to kill zombies in the usual way. We didn\u2019t want to survive a deadly undead army in the ruins of some scary-ass town. We wanted to travel through time and shoot zombie dinosaurs and mummies and junk. So, we created Age of Zombies<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

To conduct field research, the development team actually journeyed back in time to experience what it meant to really blast zombie faces with guns while standing around the Pyramids and Japanese villages and such.<\/p>\n

Mr. Morowitz, the game\u2019s lead programmer, found the entire experience fascinating:\u201cI particularly enjoyed the artwork of the Ancient Egyptians and their ability to persevere under extreme environmental circumstances.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Creative consultant Anthony Hansen on his adventure: \u201cI learned how to make moonshine in the 1930s.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And lead artist Murry Lancashire: \u201cI liked shooting cavemen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Truly an enlightening experience for the entire team! Upon returning to 2010, Halfbrick set about creating Age of Zombies, where the hero Barry Steakfries employs the use of time portals to stop the evil zombie scheme of Professor Brains. Using a huge pile of weapons and explosives, Steakfries is the real deal for blood-splattering needs.<\/p>\n

And yay, the game was. Age of Zombies<\/strong>, releasing on PSP and PS3 minis for $4.99 on February 25th<\/sup><\/strong>. We hope, in the future, you do try it!<\/p>\n
