If there’s one thing that gamers have seen a lot of this generation it has to be zombies.  Sure, the hordes of undead have been a part of our culture ever since the 1960s when George Romero brought them to the mainstream in Night of the Living Dead, but video games in particular have taken zombies to unforeseen heights of popularity in the last few years.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away EA acquired the rights to publish Star Wars video games and in turn made the fantasies of gamers, movie fans, and self-professed geeks come to life. If such a thing occurred nearly a decade ago, back when EA was looked upon as a conglomeration of evil not unlike the Imperial Army, this news would've been one of disappointment, but now it’s a reality and actually good news all considered.

The paradox that is TMNT: Out of the Shadows has appeared once again, this time to show off what the game will offer.  Even though there was initially a level of excitement to see what Activision would do with their first TMNT game, such a sentiment quickly faded upon seeing the somewhat oddly devised, yet still intriguing, premise that Out of the Shadows is aiming to offer.

The rather depressing saga of THQ is almost over for good since the remaining properties once owned by the company have now been acquired. Initially passed up in the auction that saw Ubisoft pick up South Park and Saints Row become part of the Koch Media family, once major THQ franchises such as Darksiders and Drawn to Life now have new homes – however unexpected they may be.
