THE BUZZ: Ubisoft has released a new trailer for I Am Alive which showcases the games climbing survival mechanic.

I Am Alive is set to release March 7 as part of the Xbox Live House Party promotion.

EGM’s TAKE: It appears that climbing is going to play a major role in the game, because if you can’t climb you’re not going anywhere. I Am Alive is one of the first Xbox 360 games to actually look at the survival mechanic and implement it as a major focus. Sure there’s been lots of post-apocalyptic games but none have been about ordinary people just trying to live. You’ll need to stockpile everything you find, use things sparingly, keep hydrated and above all else stay alive. Ubisoft seems to be on to a winner with I Am Alive, the real question is how will it handle once we get our hands on it?
