Looking for eternal life? Why not ask the Black Ops zombies...

"Ever needed to get up close and personal with a flesh eating zombie? While on the moon? And battle with it in low gravity armed with just an AK-47?! Well, believe it or not, here’s your chance!" - be truthful now, has this thought ever crossed your mind? Can you honestly say that, between the day to day thoughts of sexual satisfaction and your lunchtime pita, you have given serious thought to either getting close to a member of the undead (which, in case you didn't realise, don't exist) and/or fighting said zombie on the moon? If your answer is yes, seek medical attention.

Anyhow, this is exactly how the Activision press team are looking to pitch the latest - and final - DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops...Rezurrection. And yes, that is spelt correctly; it would appear that, when not gorging themselves on our oh-so-delicious brains, our undead counterparts are also terrible spellers...who would have thought?

Rezurrection - as it is called - is due for release on the 23rd August, 2011, and will be the final DLC released before Infinity Ward get their turn at the CoD franchise, through Modern Warfare 3. As a fan of the zombie maps, I must admit I am excited by this prospect. Unlike previous DLC's, Rezurrection consists entirely of zombie maps - five in total - and promises to keep its gamers ticking over nicely until MW3. While details remain scarce at the present time, we do know that the final map-pack will cost gamers around 1200 Microsoft Points, and is set to release on Xbox Live first. PS3 and PC gamers will - as has become standard with these map-packs - have to wait until the end of September before they become available, but Activision has ensured their customers that it will be worth the wait.

However, if the 23rd August is just too much of a wait, why not enjoy this preview trailer, released just moments ago:

All in all, I think the maps look great. While I remain unhappy - and very against - the concept of gamers paying for additional content, I do think TreyArch have put considerable effort into these add-ons, so kudos. In regards to Rezurrection, it's set to be a purely zombie affair. While the pack is set to feature five additional maps, four are simply remakes of the World at War Zombies maps - Nacht der Untoten, Verruckt, Shi No Numa and Der Riese. However, the fifth map, Moon, is set to take the user into an outer space, undead encounter, and much is expected of this map. Furthermore, Rezurrection will include a special Moon Xbox 360 Dashboard theme and the official Zombies soundtrack, featuring three new tracks.

So, all together now..."Brrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnssssssssss"...
