That’s an Awfully Big Head to Cut Off with a Chainsaw
There’s going to be an Evil Dead game for iPhone, and for reasons unknown, all the characters look like Miis from the Nintendo Wii. Seeing these giant-headed, kid-friendly character designs get covered in blood and attacked by demons is weird, but in a good way, I think. My only quibble is that I wish they had a scared face to switch to when, you know, they’re getting murdered and raped by trees (which may actually be a part of the game, if you look closely). No word when it’s coming out, but I’ll keep a watch out. (Via Geeks of Doom)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
