Who loves ‘Left 4 Dead 2′? I do! I do! I love running around with a fully loaded AK-47 mowing down the undead in a carnival. So you can imagine how gitty I got when I found out about this awesome interactive ‘Left 4 Dead’ movie by the creative crew at The Game Station (@tgstation). The idea is simple. Follow Husky, Dodger, Biscuit, Schroeder, and Total Biscuit as they try to survive a zombie infestation (ZOMG! JUST LIKE IN LEFT 4 DEAD!). As you watch the movie, you will come up to a point where you will have to decide the next move for the group. Once you made your choice, click the link and move onto a new video which shows whether your decision was the right one or not. Unfortunately, if you choose wrong, you die. When I came to making my choices, I was helpless. I automatically fell head over heel for Dodger (@HeartToContinue) and started following her around no matter how stupid the decision might be. Also, I tried to stay as far away from the guy with the plastic broom. Seriously… when zombies are knockin’ on your door, you’re going to go for the broom made by Rubbermaid? Geez buddy… I would ditch your ass if this was in real life.
Hit the jump and start your adventure with The Game Stations’ ‘Left 4 Dead’ Interactive movie!

Los Angeles based illustrator, Reza Rasoli AKA rezatron (@rezatron) like to doodle zombies in his spare time. Reza takes some of our favorite pop culture iconic characters like Link from ‘Legend of Zelda’ and Marty from ‘Back to the Future’ and puts a nasty zombie spin on each one. While most “zombie” illustrations are gross and hideous, I find Reza’s zombies to be humorous and whimsical. There is something very endearing behind the blood and gore. You can see Reza’s various work on his website.

This is probably the most chilling preview I have ever seen for a video game. We finally get to see the trailer for ‘Dead Island’ which is hyped to become the next zombie-genre heavy hitter in the video game world. Developed by Techland and published by Deep Silver, Dead Island is a mix of first person shooter and role playing game. Described as a “open-ended sand box” game, you are stuck on the island of New Guinea when the zombie apocalypse hits the small island. Drinking margaritas and tanning in the sun turns into smashing heads of the undead. The major difference of Dead Island to games like Valve’s ‘Left 4 Dead 2″ is Dead Island will mainly concentrate on melee weapons unlike L4D2 which was gun-heavy. The trailer is referred to “Rewound” in which the trailer story starts from the ending and goes back to the beginning. The beginning of the trailer starts with a chilling look at a little girl dead on the ground. As the trailer goes on, you find out how she became an undead. I do understand that its only a CGI animated trailer, but some of the visuals featured in the trailer like the girl being thrown through a window by her own father is pretty tough to watch. Its a bit of a tear jerker I suppose. The music that sets the tone in the trailer was beautiful and haunting and from what I understand, the score was created just for this trailer.
Even if you’re not a gamer or a fan of zombies, this trailer is definitely worth watching. It will help you find out if you have a soul or not.

Street Fighter? Zombies? Can you say, HELL YEAH?! Who doesn’t love a zombie mash-up with characters that they have grown to love over the years. Like a lot of ya, Street Fighter was probably one of my all time favorite games and to see these face-bashing character in a new light (or dark) is brilliant. Illustrated by 27 year old, Manuel Augusto Dischinger Moura of Brazil, Manuel (also goes by ManuHell) created these deliciously foul creations. Everyone from Guile, Blanka, Ryu, Chun-Li, and ultra-violent baddie Akuma gets the zombie makeover. Manuhell’s ability to merge the two different worlds is amazing. These Street Zombie Fighters (sounds like a pretty awesome game) looks like they can whip your ass and eat your brains after wards. So pimp.

iGT is back after a few days of leave. I do apologize to the 2-3 people that frequently visits our little operation for the lack of posts over the last few days. Apparently, injured knees results in not being able to use a computer. Who knew!? Oh well, Im going to take the time to make up some lost ground.
This week, iGT will feature two new catergories called “Impromptu” and “Customized”. Impromptu will be small tasty geek morsel of cool artwork and images without crazy amount of reading involved. Impromptu will be a great featurette for you to see more updated post goodness from us. Customized will be a feature of artist/craftsmen custom parody or original art and toys. You won’t find repaints only. We expect full blown overhauls of the original to produce something new and bitchin’. That being said, here we have something that satisfies both catergories!
To celebrate the upcoming “Brain Invaders” episode of The Clone Wars, Star Wars artist, Matt Busch put a delectable spin to the original Star Wars posters with a gruesome zombie twist. All 6 “episodes” of the saga got the zombie treatment. I especially love the undead Luke Skywalker in the New Hope parody. Great job Mr. Busch! Hit the jump to check out the rest of Matt Busch’s great poster art!

Very cool! In case you have been living under a rock, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a unique fan-fiction style adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice by author, Seth Grahame-Smith. Within the iconic story of romance, Seth Grahame-Smith infused a heavy dosage of undead goodness with a sprinkle of ninja kung-fu action. The book features ultra-violent scenes of zombie destruction which are accompanied by humorous illustrations. P&P&Z has been so popular that there is a graphic novel adaptation in the works. On top of that great news, P&P&Z’s Twitter, @PrideandZombies has announced that Deadline Productions will be producing a six episode mini-series based on the book. My mouth is salivating from the undead bashin’ goodness. HURRAH!
