E3 2012: ZombiU Trailer Uses "God Save the Queen" Shocker
Imagine if you will a video game for the Wii U that features zombies and death and London buses and more death and that uses the soundtrack of God Save the Queen sung slowly. Imagine no more!

The ZombiU game from Ubisoft and exclusively for the Wii U does all these things. Imagine the uproar if that got into the national news and newspapers? Are you imagining? Now imagine if it was The Star Spangled Banner and NYC fire engines?! Crikey!

Anyway, the game itself looks like it could be a fun zombie outing. Have a look for yourself.

Why not set in NY during Independents day with God Save America playing...oh yeah not edgy enough for UbiSoft (Vive la France!)

@editor Because this trailer was released on the Queen's golden jubilee.
A masterstroke in marketing IMO.

Was nice to hear all three verses for a change too!

...because several zillion movies/games have already been set in New York.
... because in media terms it should be called 'Old York' or 'Not You New York again."
...because there are other cities in the world other than New York
...because New York (cool as it is) isn't the centre of the Universe
...because .... take your pick
