E3 2016: First ‘State Of Decay 2’ Trailer Proves That Nobody Survives Alone!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I’m really not sure how this one slipped past me, but as a huge fan of 2013’s open world zombie survival simulator, State of Decay, I’m damned excited for the sequel.

Microsoft debuted the first trailer for State of Decay 2 at this week’s E3 expo, and while the trailer reveals little in terms of actual details from the game, it clearly showcases just how important it’ll be to bring a few friends along for the ride.

Microsoft notes that “The next installment in the critically acclaimed “State of Decay” franchise immerses you in an all-new, multiplayer zombie survival fantasy. Build a lasting community, working with other players or solo to overcome challenges while exploring your own unique story in a world that remembers the choices you make.”

You can take a look at the trailer for the title below, and be sure to let us know what you think! State of Decay 2 will hit Xbox One and Windows 10 sometime in 2017!

Fantasy metal rock band SONGHAMMER, best known for their award-winning song, “We Are the Horde,” which won the International Songwriting Competition at the 2011 BlizzCon, has partnered with Epic Level TV to produce their newest video, “Death is On the Way.”

The video will launch their new album, World of SONGHAMMER, which includes both “Death is On the Way” and “We are the Horde.” The album spans multiple music genres–from classic metal to bubble-gum pop–but each song remains true to the band’s cosplay/fantasy/video game style for the gaming/Comic-Con/epic-geek communities around the world.

“Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. SONGHAMMER will take care of the dragons, orcs, murlocs, and any other villains that may arise!!!” chanted ShredHammer & CroonHammer, leaders of the band.

“Death is On the Way” was shot in the Los Angeles foothills and stars Michele Boyd (The Guild) as the Mage. The video was produced by Epic Level Entertainment for Epic Level TV, a growing YouTube channel for all things geek and home to shows like “Dungeon Bastard” and “XOMBIE: Dead on Arrival.”

Learn To Survive In ‘State Of Decay’: An Open World Zombie Survival Game

by Shane O'Hare

A recent trailer has surfaced for the rumored open world sanbox zombie game that would be out on XBLA. Turns out it’s called “State of Decay” and it looks pretty damn rad. Look with me.

The game puts you in the middle of a just happened zombie apocalypse and forces players to rebuild society. It basically is your time to test your zombie survival plans.

UndeadLabs created an interesting take on the zombie game. The world is an ever changing sandbox over run with monsters and you have to figure out how to survive. You find a proper base to fortify and plan your days. You can go look for weapons, food or build defenses. They say the world changes on your actions. Resources will deplete and activity will attract the horde.

You can even modify your base with things that will make survival better. Look at this little build of the construction mode in the game.

No word on the release date yet but it will be out on XBLA and PC. We will keep you up to date when more info gets out. This looks REALLY promising.

Team Fortress 2 Gets CO-OP with ‘Mann VS. Machine’ Update

by Shane O'Hare

A few days ago a mysterious blood stain showed up on the Team Fortress 2 website linking to this odd birth notice. This alluded to a third son of the Mann family, Gray, and conversely a third team to be added to Team Fortress 2 universe. Then we got another blood stain on the Team Fortress 2 page, leading to this odd last will, which was pointing to the fact that the ghost of Mann would return to enact his revenge on those who use his weapons for evil.

Soon the online consensus was that the new “Gray” team would be a horde mode type enemy, and everyone was right. Today we get a trailer for the next update, Mann vs Machine for Team Fortress 2, which releases August 15th.
