Dated: Dead Block


Developer Candygum Games and publisher Digital Reality have announced release dates for their action-strategy hybrid Dead Block. You'll be able to play it on XBLA this week, July 6 (800 MSP), and on PSN and PC on July 20 ($10).

Dead Block is a mix of action and tower defense set in some sort of twisted 50s pastiche. It's also a zombie game, because lord knows we don't have enough of those lately. Dead Block still looks interesting, but I really wish developers would slow down with the zombie games and move on to the next all consuming fad already.

The game looks ok I guess, can't hurt to give it a shot at that price.
