Block Zombies Releases Today, Now You Can Get To Blocking Those Zombies
Let’s take a brief reprieve from Resident Evil 6 to talk about more zombies. I just can’t get enough of them today; maybe it’s all this Resident Evil news, or perhaps its the air that’s thick with the glorious scent of rotting flesh. If your appetite for all things itchy and tasty is as bottomless as mine, you may want to get some bite-sized (forgive the pun) zombie action with Block Zombies, an indie game that’s out now on Xbox Live.
I’ve noticed a lot of my friends having issues finding the indie section of the games marketplace — the craptacular new dashboard is definitely to blame here — so here are the steps that ought to take you right to it. First, jump into the Games Marketplace, then trot on over to the Games tab, and select Game Type — it’s that button with the chick who’s jumping for some reason. Maybe she’s just really excited to be introducing you to arcade games? Once there you can select Indie Games, and Voila! You’re there. head past the break for the game’s synopsis and a few screenshots. Here’s the synopsis for Dead Block, out now for the cheap price of 80 Microsoft Scooper Poopers, or one dollar.
In a world gone wrong, one girl stands alone. Alone, but not unarmed!
Strange crystalline structures have turned the populace into mindless, zombie-like creatures.
Explore a variety of environments and upgrade your arsenal as you take on the zombies and blow them into their constituent blocky bits.
Fight the Zombies! Stop the Infection! Save the Day!

We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
