Burn Zombie Burn! is a shooter in the most basic sense of the genre with a nearly endless barrage of zombies coming for your brains and you have to blast, burn, mow, bash or otherwise thwart their attempts at feeding. It’s simple, it’s silly and holy roasted zombie guts is it fun.

You play as a bobble-headed animated version of Bruce Campbell (Elvis lipped, big chinned and donning a Hawaiian shirt) in typical horror film settings with a constant influx of undeadites heading your way. You begin with a simple handgun and pick up myriad weapons including bats (baseball and cricket), a flamethrower, rapid-fire guns and even a lawn mower. Some are temporary – the best of the bunch – and respawn while others last a while. Kill enough zombies with the same weapon and you activate a giant red button that causes an area-wide effect (rain, dancing, whathaveyou).

You know, sometimes a game announcement can just make your day, even if you don’t own the system. Burn Zombie Burn is one of those games. You can’t hear the title Burn Zombie Burn and not smile, or feel warm and fuzzy inside. Doublesix and Pinnacle Software are working on this arcade-action style zombie destroying game for the PS3′s PlayStation Network, and will hopefully have it completed in the beginning of 2009.

The beauty of a game like Burn Zombie Burn is the title says it all. What do you do in it? You’ve got it – burn zombies. Well, you can also shoot or destroy zombies by other means, but somehow fire seems the most fun. You’re plopped in a B-movie area and have to beat the zombies to win. There will be three modes (freeplay, timed and defense), two multiplayer options (co-op and versus), different challenges in different levels, eight different kinds of zombies and many different ways to dispatch the undead…
