The new John Carpenter game will absolutely stuff your screen with zombies

Contrary to some claims, the scariest thing about zombies is not that there's a lot of them. It's that they're dead, and dead things are scary. (I am sometimes startled by pigeon corpses.) But I'll agree that the second scariest thing about zombies is that there's a lot of them, and that's where John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, an upcoming co-op shooter with a story "inspired by" the famed horror director, really excels.

I knew I was going to like the Toxic Commando preview build I recently played when the tutorial had me plow through a sea of flailing zombies in an armored car. My geriatric RTX 2070 Super even managed to render all the blood that shot out of them without catching on fire.
