This Aspyr Media press release announces that Rebel without a Pulse is the game in development at Wideload Games (headed by ex-Bungie founder Alex Seropian). In the Halo engine powered third person action game, you play as Stubbs, who goes on a journey for "love, justice...and brains".

On his quest, Stubbs lurches his way through numerous large and visually captivating indoor/outdoor environments in and around the gleaming city of Punchbowl, PA, a city built during the Eisenhower administration to show off the ultra-futuristic technology of the 21st century. Stubbs' brain-eating adventure brings him through bustling shopping districts and verdant farmlands to battle mad scientists, rural militiamen and the world's deadliest barbershop quartet. His enemies have shotguns, tanks, and all manner of futuristic weaponry. All Stubbs has is his own rotting corpse, a distinct lack of pain or conscience, and the ability to turn foes into zombie allies.

Rebel without a Pulse is scheduled for a summer 2005 release on PC, Xbox and Mac. Thanks HLF. Update: you can find some screenshots at GameSpot.
