load your shotguns: zombie apocalypse descending on xbla and psn

zombie apocalypse xbla xbox 360 psn dlc

Any good zombie apocalypse is all about survival, so a game that’s actually named Zombie Apocalypse isn’t likely to be about picking daisies. This week’s downloadable co-op experiences promises gore, guns, and most importantly, zombies. Loads of ‘em, and all ripe for the slaughter.
