Undead Soccer Now Available On Android

Undead-Soccer-Screenshot-01

Undead Soccer the arcade survival game from CGMatic and published by BulkyPix is now available on Android for $1.99.This is a bit different from your standard zombie killing game;  because mostly you will be using a soccer ball and a bin lid to take down any zombie that gets in your way, as opposed to the usual shotgun style weapons.

In the game you can upgrade your power-ups and your super ball power to enable you to kill more zombies.There are different football styles and shield styles to be unlocked as well as numerous big bosses to fight.

The game takes place after the player is sent off from a soccer game. After heading to the locker room and sitting waiting for the game to end, you then head back out onto the field because you’ve noticed that things have gotten rather quiet… in terms of a soccer game and not the zombies everywhere. Using a mechanic similar to that of flick soccer the player is then required to clear hoards of zombies out of the way as you progress through various stages.

The game can be downloaded from Google play here.

Battlefield 4 Shows Off Frostbite 3 in More Screenshots

Publisher EA and developer DICE probably didn’t have much time to prepare after leaks and having to official release the Fishing in Baku gameplay video for Battlefield 4. Now however they have two more screenshots to better display the level of detail possible with the Frostbite 3 engine.

The terrain pictured is pretty much a haphazard mess of filthy, but that seems to prove the point all the more as looking over the screenshots themselves it’s difficult to find major issues. The two screenshots do a great job showing off a solid mix of character detail, lighting, water, rainbows, and other everyday objects. Players wanting a better look for themselves can click on the images above to see the full-sized screenshots for themselves.

Battlefield 4 is currently set to release for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC with no official release date currently announced.
