Without a doubt, Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ is the best videogame name — and concept — I’ve heard in a long, long time. From the game’s “Story” page:
Our story begins with the invasion of this fairy tale land by hordes of ravenous zombies. And they won’t stop at anything: from the succulent legs of ham of the Three Little Pigs to the sawdust brain of Pinnochio, they are all tasty morsels for the living dead. Grotesque aberrations plague the enchanted forests.Prince Charmings wake up Sleeping Beauties with real love bites and ferocious wolves die with they attack abandoned little girls.
Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ will be available on the Nintendo DS. There’s no release date yet.

This better not disappoint me the way the DS game Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys! did. (Incidentally, that game had great music.)
Wow, this game sounds very similar to the Fables comic series by Bill Willingham. If the story for this game sounds cool, I suggest you read the graphic novels.
It is genius because it contains zombies!
It is genius because it juxtaposes fairy tales with zombies. And because the name is euphonius.
This looks like a blast, could do with a reason to dig the DS out again!
