Ever been in the middle of a conversation with someone and find yourself zoning out, thinking "I wonder what this person would look like if they were the walking dead?"

That's where George A. Romero's App of the Dead for iPhone and iPod Touch comes in. The father of the modern zombie has teamed up with the developer Additive Interactive to make your friend- and family-zombifying dreams a reality.

App of the Dead will allow you to turn human faces from your own images into terrifying visages of the undead, by allowing you to add wounds and other ghoulish facial-deformities. You can even get your zombie "pew pew pew" on, as the app will allow you to "shoot" at your created zombies, complete with a blood-splatter effect. Zombies can be saved and then uploaded to Facebook or even emailed to your friends.

App of the Dead is coming soon to the App Store, so board up your windows, doors, and keep your eyes peeled. Tomorrow we'll have an exclusive chat with Romero himself, where we talk about everything from App of the Dead to his new film, Survival of the Dead. Stay tuned.

Pleeeeease ask him about his game ideas. I really want to know what his "cool places to hide shit" includes!

That's lame, and awesome, at the same time, what the hell?

MrSadistic

Aren't there like 50 other websites and/or apps that basically do the same thing?

P-Dude

@MrSadistic Can't that be said for 99% of the apps on the store?

Why does no one do useless shit like this for android?

@BoneClawHugo
I agree wholeheartedly, but I still want this app.

You should give Survival a chance. It's actually pretty fun.

Survival was okay. As a movie it was awful, and the dialogue was fairly mundane, but there were enough decent scenes and ideas to make it worthwhile.

Unlike his past few movies, there were also several likeable characters. Whether or not they compensate for the bad ones( that fucking teenager made me facepalm) is personal preference.

This better be free

Favorite game website interviewing favorite director???...sure

The App sounds ok, but I'm really looking forward to the movie.

Mr Andy Dixon

@KwikPwn

I think you can rent it right now on your 360 for like $15 in HD. Considering a movie ticket costs $10.50 here, that sounds like a pretty badass deal...

falinter

Survival was okay. I'd rather see World War Z like right now though.

Wait what? He has a moving coming out? Fuck, we were too busy talking about Skittles and Coyotes. Still a good interview though.

Might not be gaming news, but still relevant to my interests.

Bring to Android, I will pay.

Matthew, didn't you run out of a thread like this already? Lol.

survival is NOT pretty fun, it's DREADFUL. and this is from someone who liked land, and who liked diary even more. The movie is just a stinker, plain and simple.

I can see why people didnt like land and diary even though I enjoyed them, but I genuinely cant understand why anyone would like a piece of crap like survival.

Lipscomba

Survival was AWFUL!!!! We moaned louder than the zombies did!!!

Lipscomba

@Sexualchoclate:Agreed!!!

@ AdamantiumHip

How can you not like Survival? Minus a few of the cheezy CGI effects, it was a classic Romero throwback through and through. The characters were great, it had enough slapstick comedy thrown in for good measure when it counted, the budget was fairly low, and the gore was copious. If people don't like this they must not be much of a Romero fan to begin with.
