A cheesecake walk through Zombieland

- June 12th, 2012

Today in gaming news, the multi-platform Lollipop Chainsaw is available on store shelves everywhere. For those who pre-ordered the rich-in-cheesecake, undead hack-and-slash, you will no doubt enjoy the inflatable chainsaw and special downloadable content featuring Ash from the Evil Dead movies.

Just a quick warning, this is not your kid-friendly third-person adventure. The heroine, Juliet Starling, is clad in a skimpy cheerleader’s outfit. Along with that obscenities, blood and strong sexual content give this digital affair an M17 rating.

Regardless of its T&A flash, gamers are sure to die laughing as they paint the halls of San Romero High with the blood of the undead.
