Wanna Fight Off Zombies in Nam? Meet Shellshock 2!
January 23rd, 2009
Talk about under the radar. The sequel to the lackluster first person Vietnam War shooter Shell Shock is carrying with it a new twist -- your enemies are now undead! Enter Shellshock 2: Blood Trails, the first ever Vietcong zombie game.
Shellshock 2: Blood Trails is a violent first-person survival horror game set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War. Gameplay centers on the use of psychological horror and fear, relying on the power of suggestion, mood, tension, and foreshadowing - implying the notion of danger, potential danger, imminent danger, and horrifying acts that have or are implied to have occurred or will come to pass.
In the words of John Rambo: "Do we get to win this time?"
From Eidos Interactive, Shellshock 2: Blood Trails is set to hit store shelves on February 24th, 2009, for the PC, PS3, and Xbox360. Pre-order your copy below and check out the trailer!

This isn't the first Vietnam zombie game. One of the best single player mods for Half-Life was Heart of Evil which had you fighting zombies in Vietnam in a story heavily inspired by Apocalypse Now.

You can't really consider a mod an official game can you?

No, Creepy, you can't. But hot damn, it's about time someone did something different with the WW1-WW2-Vietnam-modern warfare FPS games. Talk about your dead horses. I can't believe I'm hearing about a video game for the first time on Dread. I'm usually on top of the game scene and frankly, I'm a little disappointed in myself. Thanks for the info!
