Stubbs the Zombie will rise from the grave again for a sequel

Admittedly, Wideload Games' third-person brain eating romp, Stubbs the Zombie, was a bit repetitive. Surely, it wasn't the best game released in 2005 (that title belongs to Touchdown Entertainment's Chicago Enforcer), but it's hard for me not to love a Halo engine-powered zombie videogame
 
While the game received a relatively warm critical reception despite its flaws, it wasn't exactly a monster (heh, get it?) at retail. Which is why word of a sequel has me surprised, and drooling like a flesh-eating school girl.
 
"Stubbs is near and dear to all of us," said Wideload's Matt Soell in an interview with Xbox Evolved, "and we’ve heard from lots of people who would like to see more of him. I can’t say anything specific right now, but it’s safe to say he’ll be back. They say you can’t keep a good man down, and that goes double for the ones with an insatiable hunger for brains."
 
It's like we won't hear or see more on Stubbs for awhile, though -- Wideload are busy prepping their next title, Hail to the Chimp, which (as far as I know) doesn't feature a single zombie. Zombie animals would have been an 11 out of 10, easy.

I think the more pressing question, is when we will see more about "Project: Hotsauce and the Rainbow Space Car"

I remember wanting to get this game. (I still do) I guess It's just as well a sequel is coming out. Also I think Kane and Lynches success and Shenmues failure are prof that reviews don't release have a effect on the success of a game.

Fantastic, although it was repetitive, I loved the game... It would be amazing to see stubs in "next" gen.

I've got a friend who will be delighted to hear this. Here's hoping it gets to Steam soon.

The game was interesting, and even FUN for about an hour. Afterwards it loses all its appeal. The trailer posted above is more entertaining than the entire game.

I've never played it, but goddamn that trailer was awesome. I'm going to pick it up next time I get a chance.

Also, I will check out the soundtrack as well.

Thanks tazarthayoot.

I loved the soundtrack and liked the game. Finished it on normal, feeling pretty ok with paying full-price for it. It didn't blow me away like I'd hoped.

I know I'm nearly alone on this, but Stubbs the Zombie is one of my favorite games of all time.

Sure, it wasn't a technical showcase or a benchmark of storytelling. I love it so much because it was FUN. And hilarious.

I remember picking it up the day it came out and playing it all the way through. I even skipped school to keep playing. So this is very good news for me, and I am really excited now.
