Wishbone: The game sounds like a step on the way towards a game that would be
really interesting: GTA Zombie Apocalypse. Does anyone besides me think that a post-apocalyptic GTA game could be excellent fun?
My dream zompocalypse game would be something like a cross between a simulation and good fun, borrowing concepts from L4D (realistic city environments), Killing Floor (welding, or better still, using real objects to barricade doors), Fort Zombie (scrounging for supplies in the city) and GTA, with a dash of 28 Days Later (no place in the city is forever safe).
You have an objective to reach, but it's far away, and you may need a car (objectives and city are procedurally generated). The car is only 500m away, but you are holed up in a hotel room, and zombies are near your room. You have barricaded the doors, but it's just a matter of time before they break in. You can remove the barricades and escape via the front exit, or try to seek a way over the ledge outside your window. You decide to remove the barricade, and sneak past the zombies.
Downstairs, the roads seem clear. You quickly run, hoping the dash carries you fast enough to the car. Oh no. You hear padded footsteps behind you, and a bloodcurdling snarl behind. More snarls. You can't turn and look, because it will slow you down, and those zombies have proven to be able to run faster than you.
There is a petrol station in front, and it looks clear of zeds. You quickly run inside. The zombie is only 20m away from you. Desperate, you push a shelf against the door, blocking the zombie's smashing entrance (sorry, just had to) in the nick of time.
The zombies are now swarming in from all over the place. They hear you. You quickly find another way out - the roof. There is a shotgun on the floor. You pick it up, and realize it only has 7 shells left. Better than nothing. Quickly, you climb the ladder and out of the store through a crack in the roof. To be continued.

I was hoping Fort Zombie would be this sort of game when Kerberos first announced it, but then the reactions to it were...bad, and even the more positive ones didn't make it sound like the dream game I was hoping for. Alas.
-edit- Actually, looking at the LP thread posted above makes me more interested in the game. I'll watch more of it, hopefully it'll sway my decision.
