BRAINNNNNNS!
Astonishingly enough, there haven't been that many official zombie movie game tie-ins. Amazing considering the sheer amount of zombie games there are on the market.

So it's about time we had some based on George A. Romero's sublime genre-defining movies, right? Right! First up is Dawn of the Dead, a top down twin-stick zombie massacre that brings together all the elements that made the movie ace. Shopping malls, tons of nasty sharp implements to chop limbs off with - and gore, yeah there's a lot of gore.

The game is released on January 19th 2010 in the US, and here shortly after. Shouldn't cost more than £1.79, though prices have yet to be finalised.

Well yeah, there's a whole collection of these titles that could almost be identikits of each other (there's one on the PS3 that's virtually the same in all but name, Zombie Apocalypse)

But this is the daddy...well the film is at least. Without the film there'd be no Zombie love-in.

Still loving this. Perfect antidote for bloated games. Arcade games FTW! :-)

Still need to finish the first Saw. Got stuck on an utter bastard of a puzzle (time limit, it wasn't a mind bender)). T'was mostly shite, but it almost got a few things right....
