Earlier this year, Capcom was sued by the firm handling George A. Romero's zombie films, the MKR Group. The lawsuit accused Dead Rising of being too similar to Dawn of the Dead. Now, a Judge has ruled that the lawsuit can be dismissed because MKR simply can't sue Capcom for something that isn't protected. Meanwhile, Capcom may have won the case, but at a rather sour note, the Judge also gave quite a stinging remark about the game.

 

Want another dose of Counter-Strike crossed with George A. Romero movies? We already heard what Turtle Rock Studios (Michael Booth) and Valve (Eric Johnson and Doug Lombardi) had to say. Today we have some new screenshots from the co-op first person shooter, Left 4 Dead.

Left 4 Dead lets players take the role of any of the four survivors (much like any other zombie movie) or the "Boss Infected" zombies. Sounds fun, much like playing terrorist and counter-terrorist in Counter-Strike. Only in this title you choose between two gameplay perspectives: one who's trying to stay alive (hunted) and the one who's trying to eat people for lunch (hunter). In the screenshots, we see an assortment of zombies. We'd hate to get in the way of that big guy.

Anyway, here are the screenshots. Left 4 Dead is bound to hit the PC and the Xbox360, hopefully this year. In the meantime, stay tuned.

  
  
 

For all intents and purposes, have you downloaded the demo of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas yet? If not, then there's no reason for you not to. Especially more so now since we're bringing you some screenshots to help convince yourself to finally get the demo and of course, eventually, the game itself on November 7th (the PS3 version comes out on the 17th).

Personally, I don't know why, but looking at these screens makes me think of zombies. Maybe that's just because I'm still in the whole funk of Dead Rising. Either that or I'm just plain weird (which is the most likely case of the two). While we know that zombies don't frequent in Tom Clancy games at all, it'd still be interesting to go blasting their brains off FPS-style using rifles and silencers with neon lights, poker tables, and palm trees in the background.

Here's to hoping George A. Romero is listening...
