Undead Empire: Hellfire (XBLIG): "Sequel to Big Rook Game's Apocalyptic Horror-Survival Shmup!!!"

During my time as an XBLIG journalist I've played a handful of noteworthy top-down zombie shmups (shoot'em ups). Whether it was "Claustrophobia", "Block Zombies", or "Attack of the Zombie Horde" each game stood alone as a somewhat unique experience that entertained me for quite some time after my initial review. Big Rook Game's latest sequel, "Undead Empire: Hellfire" also provided such fun induced playthroughs as the previously mentioned games did. While I have never played the original title I was definitely glad to see that the developer included recap of the last game's plot during the intro sequence. It helped me to understand what exactly it was that my chosen character was fighting for. In this particular series it turns out that the zombie apocalypse was started by a mad scientist whose plan was thwarted by 6 unique individuals who were trying desperately to save mankind from the threat. As you can imagine the story did not end with the first game. The fight began anew as the reality of six heroes situation presented itself in a very unlikely manner.

Undead Empire: Hellfire (XBLIG) Release Contest!!!

This morning I received some Awesome news from the PR who works with Big Rook Games, Andrew Peggs. The email detailed a release contest that involves their latest XBLIG release "Undead Empire: Hellfire". The prizes are plenty, and some of them are surprisingly quite expensive. I figured I would share the original email with everyone since it better explains what the contest is all about. You'll also find a link to the contest within the copy & pasted email. I hope that you will give the game a chance, and try your hardest to win some of the prizes. I wish you guys & gals the best of luck. May the best zombie slayer win!!!
