You can’t keep a good zombie down.

Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel without a Pulse has been resurrected from 2005.

Originally being an exclusive Xbox Classic game from former Halo devs you take on the role of Stubbs, an undead chap who falls the ‘futuristic’ 1950’s town big shots wife.

Your goal is to win the heart of the most beautiful lady you’ve ever laid your dead eyes on and to do this you’ll eat brains, create you’re very own brainless zombie horde, hurl pieces of you as projectiles and fart your way around differing areas of the expansive town called Punchbowl.

In life Edward Stubblefield was a door to door salesman in the 1930s. After falling for the wrong girl he is murdered and his body dumped out in the wilderness. Some 20 years on Stubblefield returns to find love once again.

Played in third person you’ll shuffle or shuffle run around encountering the townsfolk including police with guns.

Filled with innuendos, dark humour and despite its age, excellent gameplay.

The ported version has had it’s in-game graphics ramped up to be up to play with the equivalent of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but the FMVs which break up each Level are the originals and they have not aged too well.

Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel without a Pulse is one of three games that I’d always hoped would get a remaster (the other two; Voodoo Vince which was remastered last year and Skullmonkeys – still not remastered… yet).

If you missed what was a ground breaking game 16 years ago I fully recommend giving this some playtime.

Become the ultimate undead, Stubbs, a mild mannered zombie with a big (rotting) heart.

Stubbs The Zombie announced today that his debut game, Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse, is being resurrected once again.

It’s 1959 and the city of Punchbowl, PA, is a beacon of progress and ideal living. As Stubbs the Zombie, you’ll show the living that law and order are no match for a dead man on a mission. Your boyfriend’s back, Maggie, and Punchbowl is gonna be in trouble!

When asked whether it was a remake or remaster, Stubbs shouted into the microphone, “Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse is the greatest zombie game of all time. It will remain flawless and unchanged!”

“Today, I announce my return to Aspyr as CEO, President, Founder, and Community Manager. Any rumors that I have eaten brains (especially those at Aspyr) are falsehoods, fallacies, and obviously big fat lies,” said Stubbs The Zombie, asking to be referred to as Edward Stubblefield.

Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse returns to modern consoles with achievements and modernized controls.

Achieve great feats including:
● That didn’t age well: Complete the painfully slow, forced tutorial
● I make a Pee Pee: Soil the water supply with your finely aged urine
● Get lost: We know you did
