City of the Dead (Cancelled 2006 Video Game)

City of the Dead (George A. Romero's City of the Dead) is a cancelled FPS game by Hip Interactive, it was developed by Kuju Entertainment accoriding to the wikipedia. The game was to be set on the fictional island called "Ningun Futuro" ("No Future" in Spanish). A zombie outbreak occurs on the island after a series of secret military tests on  cadavers backfires.

Interestingly this film takes place on an island, Dawn of the Dead (2004) ends when the remaining survivors find themselves on an island, both this game on that film were by George A. Romero. However it was stated that there would be no references to that film because of copyright issues. Another interesting fact is that this was to be the first game based on one of Romero's films once they had made an agreement with Living Dead Productions. It is believed this was cancelled because of a tight budget, if however, the film was to be released it was also possible other games based on the Dead Series would have been developed also, such as Night of the Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead.

Tom Savini, make-up artist, and regular actor in the Dead Series was announced to have been providing the voice and likeness of one of the characters in the game the wikipedia claims, who would have also later become playable in the game. The game was shown at an E3 event in 2005, although it wasn't playable by those attending, many of them have mentioned that the game had high levels of blood and gore to the point of excess.
