In the first official shot from the game, we see a sewer with a couple zombies styled after The Toxic Avenger, or maybe John Matuszak as Sloth in The Goonies. They're mugging (one growling, the other half-snarling) in this just-released first official screenshot from id Software's upcoming first-person shooter (oh, and "driving" video game!) titled Rage, or RAGE, which is at least not R.A.G.E. (as in Really Angry Guys Emoting).

Mmm, me so hungry, me chomp you long time. (Click the screenshot for the high-res version.)

Rage (the game, not what you feel when you see the latest political campaign ads) purportedly takes place after a near-future catastrophe involving a comet smacking into the earth. Somewhere along the lines, these guys must've either hopped out of the comet crater or were mutated by who-knows-what emanating from the blast.

Or I could just be talking nonsense. Maybe they're the good guys, for all we know. I just wish they hadn't named a game starring what certainly look like zombie-things after the virus in the "28 Days/Weeks Later" movies, a virus that infects humans in the near-future and turns them into blood-eyed, hotfooting, err, zombie-things.

Oh, and here's number two.
