You Are Empty, the alternative-timeline Soviet FPS shooter from 1C, was shown again at this years E3. From reports of Gamespot and IGN PC, the long-running production game is shaping up rather well. From GameSpot:<blockquote>You Are Empty takes place in a 1950s-era Soviet Union, in an alternate history timeline that's seen the USSR become the only world superpower. Apparently not appeased by their world domination, Soviet scientists begin experimenting with genetic mutation, attempting to create superhuman Communists to spread the joyous revolution throughout the world. After developing a unique kind of "psycho ray" that can influence the minds of numerous people simultaneously, they lose control of their creation, and entire towns eventually become overrun by mutants and supermonsters. Your character is dropped into the middle of the mess and has to chop through numerous wacky enemies, such as asylum inmates, mutated firemen, and even ballet dancers, to find out what the heck is going on.

It's still a bit too early to call You Are Empty the next big thing, but we're hoping that the developers can emphasize some of the humor that they seem to be working into the title to avoid having it be just another find-the-key FPS. We'll have more on the game as it shapes up, so stay tuned to GameSpot.</blockquote>The game is not post-apocalyptic and a FPS, so we won't be following it regularly, though its look and feel have an excellent PA spirit to them. But I do want to take this opportunity to agree with our colleagues at DaC that communist zombies are probably the coolest thing since pirate ninjas.
