GTA: Raccoon City
As darkness falls upon Liberty City, a faint groan can be heard in the distance. Something is coming, something undead. Playing multiplayer in Grand Theft Auto IV can cause your character to become a zombie. Once turned, players can spread the disease and though we don't know the outcome yet, it sure is a neat little event aimed and getting players back into the game. From Rockstar's website:
There is a virus sweeping through Grand Theft Auto IV turning many unsuspecting players into Zombies. If you've seen the special Zombie-with-yellow-briefs player skin running around during Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer, then you may already know that the virus can be contracted in any and all multiplayer modes and is spread when an unsuspecting player kills someone who has the infection (BE ADVISED: The infected DON'T necessarily have to be wearing the Zombie skin, some show NO SYMPTOMS!). The signes of infection are:- Access to the zombie skin
- having the Achievement "Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie".With the all-new Viral Infection feature at the Rockstar Social Club,
members can now see whether they are currently infected, the number of total global infections and the number of infectinos in the last 24
hours. Digging deeper, Social Club members can also browse a color-coded world map tracking the spread of the infection worldwide, including breakdown for all 50 US States.
Let the feasting begin!

over 605 thousand infected already. the top three states appearing to be california, florida and new york all on high alerts. yeah, north america is pretty much funked. amazingly, although there are some highly infected areas of the map, it doesn't actually appear to "spread" evenly. in fact three states remain completely unscathed north and south dakota, and wyoming. wyoming doesn't suprise me though, they don't even have a best buy in their state.
