Possession
By: Justin Pinter

Developed by Blitz Games, Possession is an upcoming next generation title that entails blood, gore, and zombies. This game will be full of realistic rag doll physics, RTS style game play, and unique online features.

Possession is different then other zombie games (with the exception of Stubbs), instead or running from the undead, you control them. The RTS like game play allows you to lead massive groups of deranged zombies through cities and destroy everything in sight or become one zombie and terrorize the living in first person.

The game was developed using the "Flame" engine and has been pumped up with the new "Endorphin 2.5". Endorphin allows for game characters to animate themselves in real-time instead of developers spending time doing key frame animation. Developers simply direct the scene and the rest is done by Endorphin.

The basic storyline is pretty much along the lines of the movie 28 Days Later , where scientists "accidentally" unleash a virus that turns humans into flesh eating zombies. Later, you become the leader of the undead named the "Enslaver."

The city will be expansive having the suburbs, a downtown district, and a corporate area. All areas are fully destructible and full of living people that should serve as appetizing meals. There are many zombie character classes from the slow and clumsy, all the way up to the fast sneaky ones.

Overall Possession looks to be a rush, full of blood and screaming civilians. The game is set to release for both next gen consoles including the PC.
