Burn Zombie Burn! Announced

via IGN


Developer doublesix is bringing a fresh new arcade title to the PlayStation Network, with Burn Zombie Burn! being bought to the PlayStation 3 towards the end of this January.

Looking like a welcome marriage of Smash TV with hordes of the undead, it's a high-score based game that's got it's tongue wedged firmly in its cheek. Taking a healthy dose of inspiration from schlocky American horror films, Burn Zombie Burn! takes a top-down view on six arenas chockfull of zombies, with players choosing between three characters to tackle the undead swarms.

There's an added element of risk and reward at the games heart – burning zombies with explosives earns a greater score multiplier, but a zombie on fire is faster and more dangerous. But that's just common sense.

Available for up to two players, Burn Zombie Burn! is coming early next year on PlayStation Network – to find out more head over to our Q&A with the game's creative director Jim Mummery, or check out the exclusive trailer.
