Rumortoid: Zombies!!! being adapted for Xbox Live Arcade photo

If you are one of the gamers who hates the recent stream of board game to videogame adaptions, I have bad news for you: they're still coming fast and furious. It seems the latest may be Zombies!!!, a card-based tabletop game which pits you up against everyone's favorite brain dead beasties.

Joystiq inquired about the topic at this year's Comic-Con with the game's creator,  Todd A. Breitenstein of Twilight Creations, who said he could neither confirm or deny the existence of such a project, but asked if they thought it would be cool. Uh, Todd ... everything with zombies is cool. Of all people to know that, you should, sir.

Let's hope it makes it out there -- the more success these adaptions enjoy, the more we are likely to see. I'm holding out for Bang! to make the transition. Hear that, internet? Make it clap!

Is there an option to buy cornettos or go to the pub?

Don't say the Z-word!

Why not?

Because it's ridiculous!

Zombies!!! and Bang! are two staples of our gaming nights with people from uni. Seeing them on XBLA wuold be awesome.

In fact, I think I might program one

Mr. Zimmerman did an 'On the Table' on Zombies!!! and all of its (6) expansions.

It's a great game and would translate well to an XBLA format.

Yes! I love this game, but only if it allows ridiculous house rules like Unlimited zombies per tile. Things really get ridiculous when someone has to start their turn by battling through the 14 zombies that snuck up on them in the meantime.

Sweet. I was just playing this with some friends a few weeks back and we were talking about what a good fit it would be for XBLA, or at least I was.

Can't wait for this, and the expansion packs, if cheap, would be great. Radioactive zombies!

Zombies!!! is a blast. Ive bought the game several times already, bringing it over to my buddies houses, then leaving it there for them to enjoy with their buddies. It spreads like a virus! I would love to play it on XBLA!

I would love for this to happen, especially if they include the expansions.
