Midnight Launch: Lollipop Chainsaw!

By GG-curiousjoi 11 months, 2 weeks ago • 2 Comments

On June 11, 2012, Gamestop in West Hollywood hosted a Midnight Release party for Warner Bros, Kadokawa Games and Grasshopper Manufacture’s new game, Lollipop Chainsaw.

Fans waited in line eating their Lollipops while dancing to zombie party bus music.

When the doors opened, eager fans picked up their copy and waited patiently to meet the writer and stars of Lollipop Chainsaw.

Along with writer James Gunn, some of the brilliant voices were also in attendance, including:

Tara Strong (aka Juliet Starling), is best known for roles like Harley Quinn from Batman Arkham City, Bubbles from Power Puff Girls and many, many more.

Jimmy Urine, from the electro-punk band Mindless Self Indulgence, composed the music as well voicing the character Zed.

Smallville’s own Michael Rosenbaum (aka Lex Luthor) is Nick, Juliet Starling’s body-less boyfriend and Sean Gunn (best known for his role as the quirky Kirk Gleason on “Gilmore Girls”) is Swan, the evil goth druid.

But you can’t have a Lollipop Chainsaw launch without the beautiful Jessica Nigri, the official Juliet Starling cosplayer!

Overall, a very successful Midnight Launch event for Lollipop Chainsaw!

Lollipop Chainsaw is available NOW for Xbox 360 and PS3!

I still haven't played this game. Anyone have an opinion on the actual game play? It looks like it's fun but i am hoping the controls will be better than in the RE series.
