George A. Romero

The zombie legacy of George A. Romero

On hearing of George A. Romero’s passing this week, the nerds assembled at ATT HQ for a special episode honouring his legacy.

Drew and Chella talk zombies, with a long analysis of Night of the Living Dead, which changed the zombie genre forever, to Shaun of the Dead, Resident Evil and beyond.

The ATTeam look at what went before Romero and what came after, as a result of his huge impact. They also discuss gaming’s long-lasting obsession with zombies. Jane Austen even gets a mention – all zombies are accounted for, so tune in.

NB: The film Chella couldn’t remember is Kiss Me Deadly

Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond. She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.
