Built on their first release, the Zombie Outbreak Simulator, Binary Space has release their first game, the Zombie RTS Class 3 Outbreak. The game is a browser based flash game, running over Google maps, where you control 3 squads of police to try to hold back a zombie invasion.

As an ongoing series on the cable network, it won’t be bound by the same FCC constrictions as the broadcast networks. This should hopefully lead to an authentic adaptation of what our friend Chris at Comics212 (and organizer of TCAF) says was one of the past decades best genre comics. On Wednesday the show took one more shamble closer to…
