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.

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.

[image:9042 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Alex "The Man" Seropian, founder of Wideload Games, did a Q&A recently on their upcoming game, Stubbs the Zombie in 'Rebel Without a Pulse'. Click "read more" below for the full interview, and also check out three new screenshots in the Stubbs gallery.

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.

Of course, not all the news was about Halo or Bungie:

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.
