PLAY: State Of Decay


There were two games this year that I've been very much anticipating since their announcement. One was The Last Of Us; a post-apocalyptic survival game from my favourite developer, Naughty Dog. The other was State Of Decay, an independently developed game focussing on the survival aspects in a world torn apart by the zombie apocalypse. Undead Labs aim was to bring a zombie game unlike previous worn out shooters of current and last gen; a fully immersive experience giving the player challenges based around the finite resources left when the dead walk the earth.

WATCH: Star Trek Into Darkness

Why oh why can I not look at anything to do with re-whatever'ed Star Trek and not find myself whistling the dance mix of the Lost In Space theme tune? My experience with Star Trek started from a young age, coming home from school to catch either The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and eventually Voyager a teatime on BBC2 when The Simpsons wasn't on. Not so much a Trekkie but a Treklite, I ventured forth most evenings Picard, Riker and his strange chair-mounting to worlds unseen. Eventually, the original films and The Original Series had my eyes peeled with one film being particularly memorable.
