Events: Video Games Come Alive in the UK

How many of you, while playing Left 4 Dead or watching Dawn of the Dead, have ever wanted to walk right into the television and join the fun just like in a bad 80s video? No one? Just me? Oh...well, than maybe this post is a little irrelevant. Carry on with your normal, social Friday night.

What? You're still reading. Well then maybe I'm not alone. If you're anything like me, you'll read this article and immediately start searching the price of plane tickets into Heathrow Airport. Why? Because the UK's Zed Events have introduced their third zombie-themed fantasy event...and it sounds ridiculously awesome.

Fork over $188 in American money, and you will be transported into a scenario the likes of Romero flicks and first person shooters. "The Mall" is the haunted house every adult horror fan has ever dreamed of. For the cost of admission, you and fifteen others are plopped down in an abandoned mall for four hours. You're given airsoft guns, encouraged to locate melee weapons (think the original Dead Rising), and then you are sent into the dark, zombie-filled depths of the abandoned shopping mall. For four hours, you and a very small group fight through missions and zombie gore unlike anything ever seen in real life. And yes, you can shoot, hit, push, etc the "zombies". The only restriction seems to be that they discourage you to take the trademark head shot.

Overall, this sounds so awesome. I think I've heard of Zed Events before (they do a few other Zombie-themed adventures similar to this one), but this one sounds like a "bloody" good time. I know...that was corny. Interested? Who isn't! Check it out here.
