Well, his TOE TAGS comic may be kind of dead in the water - the first issue wasn’t exactly terrible, but it did suffer from being too mediocre to bother trying the second issue - but that’s not gonna slow down the zombie king’s attempts to branch out from movies into other areas of entertainment .

George A. Romero has made a career out of scaring the pantaloons off moviegoers while giving them a chance to laugh — and think a little — in the process. Now, Romero’s unique, zombie-filled take on horror will get a videogame treatment, as Hip Interactive announces an agreement with Living Dead Productions to produce a series of George A. Romero-branded games.

Details have yet to be revealed, but the games, expected for “all current and upcoming platforms,” would almost certainly be based on Romero classics such as Night of the Living Dead and the original Dawn of the Dead. Hip expects to announce the first title soon.

Personally, I think he should make a full run at a Toe Tags game. Sure the comic is pretty blah, but it’s also designed in such a way that it would be relatively easy to adapt into a 3rd person shooter, and they might be kind of beneficial in promoting each other.

Spread the word!
