    When opportunity knocks, wise developers answer -- for instance, when developer 3G Studios (creator of the fake-sounding Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009) peered into the empty expanse known as the zombie-action genre, it knew it had the chance to pioneer into uncharted, profitable territory. The title of its maiden voyage into the untapped genre was recently announced: XomB (pronounced zom-bie). It should set the bar pretty high -- after all, the title contains an "X," which usually denotes high levels of extremeness.Tongue in cheekiness aside, the title is set apart by more than its misspelling. XomB will be a shamblin' corpsified re-imagination of feudal Asia, which will pit players in "epic battles" against undead hordes. Sounds like it's got kind of a Dynasty Warriors meets Onechanbara thing going on, but 3G Studios promises more concrete gameplay details and screenshots soon.
