Stubbs the Zombie


Happy Days of the Dead

It's a complete and utter non-sequitur, but it serves to break up the action and spotlight the game's ultimately awesome soundtrack, filled with hot indie bands like The Flaming Lips and Death Cab for Cutie covering '50s hits (which is sadly underrepresented elsewhere). It also serves as foreshadowing for the game's other Bizarro World moments: the peeing in the pool challenge, the run through Redneckville in the Tractor of Death and a direct swipe of the inspirational speech from Patton.

It's got some brains, Stubbs does. Delicious ones, even. It's just that there's a lot of muck to wade through before the tastiest morsels appear.

  • Stubbs looks, feels and plays like Halo
You'll hate
  • Objectives are often poorly indicated
  • Gameplay is largely repetitive
  • Difficulty of boss fights all over the place
