For those of you with an iPhone and who like to kill thousands of zombies en masse, you might want to check out Universal’s Dawn of the Dead arcade game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I wish I could write something fresh about this game, but honestly, I’ve seen a gazillion of these types of games online for free. Hell, even Dead Frontier tried to create an MMORPG around what looks to be the same game.

Here’s a little more information from the blog post:

The game offers both Story mode and Challenge modes while playing with one of three different characters: Salesman, Police Officer, and Nurse. Each character has different Speed, Attack, and Shooting attributes to try to give you some variety in different play throughs. The Story mode and Challenge modes have multiple difficulties, but total gameplay time is not very long. You can easily finish the game’s story mode on easy in one session, which then unlocks the hard mode. Story mode consists of 5 different levels of varying goals. While these goals include some mild variety over the standard survival tasks of similar games, they are still ultimately pretty shallow. Goals include killing all zombies in an area, surviving a certain time limit, and finding an exit.

This might be something fun to play on the subway, or waiting in line to check your luggage. Going for two bucks, it certainly does fall in the impulse purchase category. Worth it or not, I leave that to you to find out. Once I get an iPod touch, I’ll be able to write a more comprehensive review.
