It looks like yet another dev team behind a popular game mod is making the move to a commercial game. In this case its with the team responsible for Zombie Panic Source, the popular Half-Life 2 based-mod. Two of the team members have founded Monochrome Games and have just announced their first stand alone commercial game, Contagion.

The team are calling Contagion a spiritual successor to Zombie Panic Source. While there's little info on the game, the development team is promising this will be different than your average zombie shooter title, saying Contagion will "pit you against unique and terrifying enemies, new features, a variety of new weapons to choose from" and more. No release date for the game was announced. You can check out a teaser trailer for the game after the jump:

While last week saw the team spending time in Mass Effect, this week finds the team split between the standby favorite of Team Fortress 2 and the new hotness that is GRID. With awesome action like GRID has, nobody can really blame them, though. Coming up hot on their heels was Armageddon Empires.

Our resident indie fiend, James Murff said he'll be spending this weekend playing Armageddon Empires, Team Fortress 2, and checking out Zombie Panic! Source. Kyle Horner is taking a chunk of his weekend off from PC gaming to dive into Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition -- but he assures us that he'll be planning everything on his laptop. When not rolling the bones, Kyle said he'll be relaxing in TF2 as well. Both David Craddock and Stephen Wong plan to spend most of their time tearing it up in GRID. Stephen noted that he'll probably also spend some time in Armageddon Empires, EverQuest II and will probably give Devil May Cry 4 another whirl if time allows. I'm on the road this weekend, so I'm limited to gaming on my laptop. Thus, I'll be spending time in EVE Online when I do actually manage some gaming. For this weekend, given all the great games out recently, What aRe yoU Playing?
