GameSpot has a Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel without a Pulse preview, going hands-on with the Halo engine powered game at GDC. Fourteen new screenshots are available as well.

We received this Rebel Without A Pulse Q&A, offering more info on the murderous exploits of Stubbs the Zombie. Wideload Games founder (and original Bungie founder) Alex Seropian answers questions about the game's theme, the zombie main character, and use of the Halo engine. We also have three new screenshots and can inform you the soundtrack features tracks by Ben Kweller, Deathcab for Cutie, Cake, The Flaming Lips and the Dandy Warhols among others.

Q. Why did you decide on a retro 50's theme?
A. It's not just retro -- it's Retro-Futurist! Punchbowl exists in the 1950s, but it's designed to be a model city -- an example of the miracles that await humanity in the year 2000. Some elements of retro-futurism, like flying cars and personal robots, are now seen as amusingly naive; others are surprisingly accurate. Punchbowl incorporates all of these things -- it's connected to the familiar, but it gives our designers a tremendous amount of creative freedom.

Q. Why make the main character a zombie?
A. When dead men crawl out of their graves and start gobbling the flesh of the living, you have to consider the possibility that everything you thought you knew is worthless. Nothing says "total breakdown of natural law" like zombies, and that sort of imminent chaos is an attractive starting point for a game. Besides, zombies have been painted as the enemy for far too long. We're giving equal time to their side of the story.

GameDaily has a new preview of Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel without a Pulse, the Halo engine powered action game from Wideload Games. So what are among the things you get to do in this game? "As Stubbs, you'll traverse the city taking on all sorts of human enemies and, because you have a yen for brain matter, you'll punch holes in the backs of their heads and basically tear them to pieces, and the blood and guts truly fly all over the place. Brain matter, limbs, and assorted gore fly every which way."

New on HomeLAN Fed todya is this Q&A with Alexander Seropian of Wideload Games. Seropian talks about his company's upcoming third person action game Rebel Without A Pulse featuring Stubbs The Zombie.

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.
