    There's a lot to be said about plowing through town with a zombie horde, biting brains. [Dec 2005, p.59]

    Watching our zombie army do our brain-eating dirty work for us was a gaming moment we won't soon forget.

    To give the visual style greater impact Stubbs the Zombie features the best soundtrack this year.

    Eating the brains of the living to form a massive army of the undead is extremely satisfying, often hilarious, and, unfortunately, almost painfully brief.

    If your idea of a rousing good time is cracking open skulls like chestnuts to feast on the goo inside, you'll have plenty of fun with this one. [Feb 2006, p.86]

    Probably the best soundtrack ever produced for a game.

    It's a game that is great to pick up at any time of the day, eat a few brains, and then move on to something else.

    Fantastic game from 2005! No doubt the best game for being a zombie as it has everything in it from classic zombie lore/hollywood flicks. IfFantastic game from 2005! No doubt the best game for being a zombie as it has everything in it from classic zombie lore/hollywood flicks. If you love zombies and 1950's with a futuristic twist, you'll faint after playing a minute of this. I highly recommend it! Great gameplay, awesome 1950's inspired soundtrack, nothing can go wrong in this game as you set out as Stubb's to get payback.… Full Review »
