Tuesday Bangosity: Bloodfield: The Meat City

By Kieron Gillen on October 21st, 2009.

We get a lot of mail based around new webgame releases. A whole lot. So I don’t actually always go through them. This one, I did. Do you know why? Because it’s called “Bloodfield: The Meat City”. That’s videogame poetry, as far as I’m concerned. The game? Well, it’s very Zombie Shooter. Or Smash TV For our older readers. Or Robotron for our even older readers. Or on the Colosseum floor, with a gladius, being chased around by lions for our really old readers. In other words, an arena based shooter. Plus – because this is the late 00s – a whole mass of upgrading systems in a shop. It’s 2009 and the whole world has become Xenon II: Megablast.
