Coming October 30. Apparently it's similar to Red Dead's Undead Nightmare expansion. Sounds pretty damn awesome to me.

Thoughts?

Update: Shaky Cam trailer from Comic Con! (Thanks @ESREVER!)

Update 2: Another video. This time gameplay! (Thanks @altairre!)

Oh this could potentially be awesome..

This games system's against hordes of undead is a really interesting concept.. Breaking a zombie's leg continuously..

That's like trading in your unexpected Monte Cristo for a questionable vending machine sandwich.

@Ravenlight: Well my vending machine sandwich has treated me pretty well. Little indigestion but hey.

This reminds me of Big Trouble in Little China and that makes me excited.

nice 70s HK horror aesthetics to the title screen.

God dammit. I just sold my copy for AC3.

Awesome. Hope it's substantial, and appropriately tongue-in-cheek.

Hopefully this DLC has some Hong Kong Vampires. I need them. Always.

Hm, I like the Chinese lore approach to the beaten-to-death undead DLCs. This might be worth it.

Saw some a live gameplay demo at New York Comic con. It looks great. Also, saw some new moves which was done really well.

downloaded and played it this morning while awaiting delivery of AC3. it's pretty fun and has some genuinely funny moments in it. It's pretty short, though. i did everything you can possibly do in it (including hunting down those damn Hell Shrines) and got through it in maybe 3-4 hours.

@UitDeToekomst: I am looking forward to it.

edit: still waiting for it to pop up on steam.

I'd say that's great value for $5.

Yeah, that sounds pretty good for the price. Isn't that about the average DLC length?

@SlasherMan: @Ekami:

valid points, of course. It was 500MP on the 360 (so what's that? $6.25?) and i got over 3 hours out of it. that's not too shabby. what i neglected to mention was that over an hour of that time was spent running around looking for the 10 Money Shrines after i had completed all the story stuff. I imagine one could complete the main story missions (if that was all one was interested in doing) in under an hour. i just wanted to make that clear so that potential purchasers will have better information upon which to base their decision.

Only $5? Holy shit.
