Zombies!!! confirmed for Xbox Live Arcade

After a rumor began circulating over the summer, Twilight Creations officially announced last week that its Zombies!!! board game is headed to Xbox Live Arcade. For those unfamiliar with the game (like us), it's a tile-based game that has players attempting to flee from the "ever-growing zombie horde." So, in other words, it sounds pretty much like the best board game of all time. Zombies!!! is being developed by Big Rooster, which is also working on bringing the board game Wings of War to XBLA. It's also worth noting that Big Rooster was the studio behind the recently canceled XBLA version of Talisman (hopefully not the beginning of a trend). Zombies!!! is expected to release some time in 2009.

Hell yeah. I, for one, think this is truly awesome. It's an awesome board game that, I hope, will translate into an equally awesome video game.

Looking forward to it.

I just hope they allow for custom rules. If you play by the rules in the manual, the game can take fooooorever.

Also, I hope they animate they zombies and characters.
