We've all heard of movies based on video games; Resident Evil and Prince of Persia are two recent examples, and of course there are the Halo rumors, too.  But the next big video game movie might not be inspired by relatively new games.  Apparently, a script based on SNES/Genesis era classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors is being shopped around.  It's described as "Superbad plus Zombieland plus Home Alone" which actually sounds like a pretty good movie, once you think about it. 

Could there be a better combination than chicks in chainmail bikinis and zombies?  We think not, especially when we've featured both games in Co-Op Classics!  Brain eating undead and magic wielding warrior women are both headed to the Wii this week, via the Virtual Console service.

As Co-Optimus celebrates its first birthday and the past year's staggering number of visitors, Ars Technica joins the celebration shortly after launching their own Ars 5.0 and announcement that traffic has doubled for the esteemed geeksite.

We've got Zombies on the brain this week.  (Maybe that should be "on our BRAAAAIIINNSSS"?)  It was quite easy to tie the theme in to Co-Op Classics this week, as there is a sweet little gem from the early 90s featuring the shambling undead: Zombies Ate My Neighbors.  Besides having one of the best names of any game, ever, it has quite a bit in common with the recent blockbuster co-op zombiefest, Left 4 Dead.  Sacrilege, you say?  Read on to see what I mean.
