Inside Mac Games has posted a hands-on preview of Stubbs The Zombie, the upcoming game from developer Wideload Games and publisher Aspyr Media. The preview is based on a recent beta and offers a look at the Mac version, including screenshots from the Mac version.

Here's a clip:

Stubbs the Zombie's overall style is reminiscent of American movies from the 1950's, from locales to costumes to props to dialogue. The game pays homage to the pinnacle of the zombie movie genre—Sam Raimi's Evil Dead series, George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead film franchise, and even a little of Michael Jackson's Thriller thrown in for good measure—in grainy, scratched, and faded Technicolor film. Classic scenes include bands of zombies, complete with missing body parts, rambling off into the cold night; decapitated corpses feeling around for their next prey; and slugs of armless, legless torsos struggling along the ground meekly trying to take down their next victim by biting their ankle. And, as in most zombie movies, the zombie's victims are never without fault, carrying deep dark secrets of their own.
