Swedish development house Keldyn Interactive was cutting it close, but managed to clinch a last-minute win for "best game title heard this week." That title would be Dead Meets Lead, the name for its upcoming top-down shooter for PC in which players take on hordes of -- wait for it -- the undead.
This one looks to have a pretty neat twist, though, as it's set in the year 1716 -- the period leading up to the American Revolution -- and casts players as a gruff, white-wig-wearing British captain stranded on a zombie-infested island with only a sword and custom blunderbuss with which to fend the creeps off. While the screenshots are a little on the plain Jane side, the concept art, also in the gallery below, is really something special.
Keldyn Interactive has yet to set a date for when the dead will meet lead, but we'll let you know just as soon as one's announced.

See, this is a bit more creative than the usual zombie apocalypse or zombie WWII story.

Finally a game where you can fight hordes of zombies in a top down shooter. Just what I've been waiting for all these years.

I'm getting kind of sick of this whole zombie craze. There are zombies in a ton of games, in movies, and now TV shows

The character should be a zombie and the enemies should be plants.
