zombies: the undead fad

I've been tired of the media's obsession with zombies for a good 5 years now, but that hasn't stopped movies like Zombieland and Dead Snow from being late to the party. In the world of videogames, my patience is a whole lot longer, thanks to Left 4 Dead and the totally-worth-buying-on-day-one sequel.

The xbox indie game, I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1NIT!!!1, has also managed to break my thick "enough with the zombies already!" mental barrier. It's a 15 minute top down shooter, like Geometry Wars or Astroids. Zombies are only the goombas of the game, so to speak. After a few minutes, more crazy looking enemies creep in.

Of course the star of this game is the 13 minute song which the entire game is formed around. The creator overtly reveals what the game truly is through ironic lyrics, one big joke on the played out use of zombies in games and internet fads. Buy this game! It's only one dollar, and worth it just for the song. The song is so fun, I couldn't help but rip a copy of it myself. If you haven't played the game yet, you probably won't get much out of the song; but if you have, you definitely have stopped reading this post and gone straight to the download link.
