There are still people running around saying HPS is imminently going to release POA2 public beta.  And here they are releasing this.  Go figure.

Nevermind...Just checked and they finally released the patch at the end of May.  Once again, my righteous indignation wasted.

You poor, innocent soul. Because. Remember when we were in college (before PCs)? The mantra for games was NNN - NATO, Nukes and Nazis. Now it is ZNN -  Zombies, Nukes and Nazis. Not much need for NATO any more, given no Soviets Bloc to fight and all. But Zombies! EVERYBODY can get behind the mindless mass slaughter of Zombies!

Brraaaiiinssss.....

Since i'm a sucker for anything zombie, i'll probably get this sooner or later. looks like the same system as the Vietnam game,which is a nice quick play diversion. I'd like to know how many different environments/ maps are in the game. Not a lot of info on the game, just basics.

Okay, I'll be the first to call out the zombie fetish for being a bit over-played, but admittedly it looks like it might be a great mindless action movie. The only thing slightly ??? thing is the black paratrooper - don't get me wrong, it's no big deal to me, it's a movie and not meant to be taken seriously, but historically it makes zero sense as integration certainly not a thing at the time. (Nor were zombies, and it's a movie, so why not, throw in whatever. If the movie works, it works.)
