Scheduled for release by Aspyr Media just in time for Halloween, Stubbs The Zombie is a third person action game that uses an updated Halo engine to deliver a stirring take on one man's hunger for love, justice� and brains. In the game, players step into the shoes of the rebel himself; former door-to-door salesman Stubbs is now a wisecracking zombie terrorizing the ultra-modern city of Punchbowl, Pennsylvania circa 1959, using nothing but his own carcass and the weapons of his possessed enemies. The game's tongue-in-cheek humor, innovative combat and strong storyline keep gameplay as bizarre and unpredictable as its namesake.
Stubbs The Zombie: The Soundtrack is filled with brand new versions of songs made famous in Stubbs' own time, with the exception of Phantom Planet's zombie-inspired track "The Living Dead," which was written specifically for the game. From Brooklyn's indie-pop artist Ben Kweller's version of "Lollipop," to Danish garage rock duo The Raveonettes' rendition of "My Boyfriend's Back," these artists may be relatively new names on the music scene, but these '50s pop standards are loved the world over. In addition, alternative rock veterans The Flaming Lips put the Wayne Coyne spin on "If I Only Had A Brain," and Cake's "Strangers in the Night" wouldn't be complete without the band's standard trumpet fare. Although other video games have inspired soundtracks of their own, Stubbs The Zombie is the first to present a complete album of original recordings as opposed to the licensed music most games employ today.
