1Up put up a four-page feature on Stubbs the Zombie on April 1st, and this real story got lost among all the jokes; we spotted the link today on HBO courtesy of Louis Wu's linkage. The focus is on the challenge of mixing humor and fun gameplay.
Thought we should finally have a place for Stubbs discussion as the game gets closer to release.
Hope to have hi-res versions of the new screenshots and possibly local copies of the new movies up very soon.
Fourteen new screenshots for Wideload's upcoming Xbox third-person action game, Stubbs the Zombie in: Rebel Without A Pulse have showed up on stubbsthezombie.com, and were later picked up by GameSpot.

Q. What’s the plot of the game?
A. The game follows the exploits of Stubbs, a Zombie, as he embarks on a quest for true love and brutal revenge in Punchbowl, Pennsylvania, a city of the future built in the 1950s.
Q. How did you come up with this idea?
A. It was a collaborative effort by our small internal prototyping team. We started with a bunch of ideas and spent some time developing the most promising ones. Ultimately the team picked Stubbs the Zombie as the game that would become Wideload's first project.
BDGamer notes that Aspyr has announced the track listings for the soundtrack to Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse by Wideload Games. In a strange twist, the soundtrack will be out on March 15, although the game is apparently due out later.
XBox Live Next has interviewed Wideload Games CEO and founder Alexander "The Man" Seropian. Looks like the interview occurred before Stubbs the Zombie was announced, though, so there's not much information there.
b>John "JCal" Callaham of HomeLAN Fed has done an interview with Wideload Games founder Alexander "The Man" Seropian about Stubbs the Zombie in "Rebel Without a Pulse". Someone finally asked one of the minds behind Bungie one of the age-old burning questions: Why zombies?
[image:8460 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Matt Soell of Wideload Games took the time to add a few comments to the release of information last week about Wideload's first game, Stubbs the Zombie in 'Rebel Without a Pulse'. The first addition is that the game is planned for the Xbox, Macs and PCs. Wideload is doing the Xbox version internally, and is working with Aspyr's development teams for the Mac and PC versions.
To keep up with the information coming out about Wideload's just-announced title, Stubbs the Zombie in 'Rebel without a Pulse', we've created a few easy links.
In the GameSpot interview with Alexander "The Man" Seropian, some of the background for the plot of Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel without a Pulse is revealed.
Edward Stubblefield is a Depression-era traveling salesman who was murdered. Decades later, sometime in the 1950s, an ambitious industrialist builds a model "city of the future" on Edward's grave, which causes him to rise as an undead Zombie on the city's opening day to try and turn the city's inhabitants into zombies.
