Taken from their website:

State of Decay is an open sandbox world that develops in real-time, dynamically generating content based on your actions, the choices you make, and the ever-increasing zombie threat. Decide where you’d like to set up a fortified safe haven for you and other survivors you’ve rescued, then form raiding parties to gather resources and create supply chains. Use the materials you’ve gathered to develop your community as you see fit, but be careful — resources will deplete as you pillage areas, and zombies are attracted to noise and activity. Take up the offensive by assaulting hordes before they reach your settlement, or focus on improving your defenses against the massed zombie attacks. Every choice and every action matter in this fully simulated, evolving world. Move through the world like a zombie-slaying badass. Dive through windows, jump on cars, and take it to the living dead with baseball bats. Hop in a truck and mow down some undead pedestrians. Break into the local police station and clear out their arsenal or walk into the local grocery store to stock up on your favorite junk food. The world is your oyster…a shiny oyster that happens to be filled with zombies.

So yeah, it's an open world game set in the beginning of the Zombie apocalypse, you've got to build bases and defences, grab resources and basically try to survive. One of the big features though is permadeath, once the characters die, that's it for them.

IGN have got a couple of videos up of their play through, they're doing it for five days up until the review on Wednesday. It looks great despite them saying there is a few technical problems, but even they say it doesn't ruin the experience. It's rumoured to be out on Wednesday 5th June for XBL Arcade and PC.
