If you’re a fan of Black Ops II on the Xbox 360, you’ll be the first to get your hands on the new downloadable content pack called Uprising. The DLC will bring four new maps for multiple player action including Magma, Encore, Vertigo, and Studio.

The Magma map puts players in a Japanese village that is being besieged by lava flows from a volcano nearby. The Encore map has players fighting it out in close quarters in a concert setting after a London music festival. The Vertigo map puts players on the roof of a skyscraper in India where they have to battle across a landing pad. The Studio map has players fighting on a movie backlot as they battle through different settings including science-fiction and western settings.

The coolest thing that this new DLC will bring is an additional zombie map with new characters called Mob of the Dead that takes place on Alcatraz island. The players will play as mobsters portayed by Hollywood actors Ray Liotta, Chazz Palminteri, Joe Pantoliano, and Michael Madsen.

The new content pack will hit the Xbox 360 on April 16. It will be available for gamers on the PS3 and PC platforms at a later date which is currently unannounced.

From the looks of the latest trailer, it seems like the studio behind the Brad Pitt flick World War Z want to have as little association with zombies as possible, and make it look more like a broader disaster flick. The marketing team can do what they want, but those of us who are familiar with the novel know what Max Brooks’ story is really about. A new trailer for the film has surfaced that seems to downplay the whole zombie angle.

Not one time in the new trailer do you see or hear anything about zombies. In fact, the close-ups of the fast and violent zombie scourge have been downplayed in this version of the trailer. This trailer focuses on Brad Pitt’s character and his family. It doesn’t give us any indication of exactly why Pitt’s character is so important to the movie and why the military would go through so much trouble to extricate him and his family when the infected begin to takeover.

The zombies in this film remind me a lot of ants swarming over things and each other to reach their goal. You can check out the new trailer for yourself and tell us what you think.

What kind of guitar will you be rocking when the zombie apocalypse strikes? Travis Stevens is ready to take on the undead with this awesome guitar.

This guitar is decorated bullets, grenades, blood splatter and lots of zombie heads. Travis built this Fender Stratocaster guitar with the knowledge that one day we will have to face the hoards of zombies. On the back, it has a door with the words “Keep out, Dead Inside”.

Aside from providing some musical distracation while hiding from zombies, this thing could be used as a sweet weapon if you really needed it and it would only add more blood spatter to the design. If I had to use an axe to kill zombies, it would be this one.

When I think of zombies and brains, I remember that hilarious music video that you can watch after you play all the levels of Plants vs. Zombies. You know, the one that goes “There’s a zombie on your lawn…“

This time around, though, you can turn the tables on those zombies and eat their brains instead. Figuratively, that is, because as you all know, zombies don’t exist. At least not yet.

If you fancy having a taste of zombie brains because you’re bored with your current food choices, then turn to KnotTheOrdinary because they won’t disappointed.

They’re currently offering a sweet set of six teeny tiny Zombie Brain chocolate treats filled with your gooey filling of choice (you can choose from three!) for just $10(USD).

Like millions of you out there, I’m stoked for the Season 3.2 return of The Walking Dead tonight. In honor of the occasion, our friends over at KitchenOverlord have put together a little recipe you can throw together, even while the zombie horde descends on your camp.

This Dandelion Green and Walnut Pesto can be easily assembled from items foraged in Georgia – with the exception of maybe the lemon. And there is that little part about needing a blender and electricity… Oh well, maybe it’s impractical after the zombies attack, but at least you can make some for tonight and toss it with some pasta. I’d go with red colored pasta so it looks like guts, of course.
