Pinnacle Software and developer Doublesix have announced the upcoming release of what they say "will surely prove to be one of the most addictive and charismatic arcade shooters of 2009" - Burn Zombie Burn!, available on PlayStation Network early Q1.

You play Bruce - an average every-day Joe who was looking forward to some 'quality time' with his girlfriend Daisy. In true B-movie style their Saturday night is ruined by an invasion of zombies. Set across six classic American horror movie inspired levels, Burn Zombie Burn! is a third-person shoot-em-up in the classic coin-op tradition featuring next-gen game play mechanics.

The aim of the game couldn't be simpler; shoot, burn and blow up as many brain munching zombies as possible using a variety of classic zombie killing weapons before they overwhelm you. Use fire to build up your multiplier and then destroy zombies en masse with explosives to increase your high score. But beware, a burning zombie is a faster zombie - burn too many and they will burn you.

"The idea for Burn Zombie Burn! was to make a game that captured what the studio is about: 'just one more go' gameplay, a raucous sense of humour and an accessible learning curve coupled with traditional hardcore depth," said Jim Mummery, Creative Director at doublesix.
