Age of Zombies! Now this was a fun game. Not much to the story; it was minorly amusing, I guess, and I do like that they had different zombies for each of the time periods. The real fun was in the survival mode, where you faced off against an endless swarm of zombies coming at you from all sides. The game was at its best there and demonstrated a great balance in the gameplay. You had to juggle dodging zombies and corralling them into manageable groups with a careful management of your weapon usage and your score multiplier. It really kept you on your toes, requiring careful control of your character (Barry Steakfries, to be precise), a tactical plan for getting the most out of your temporary weapon pickups, and a longterm plan to manage it all in order to maximize your score. It made for a lot of harrowing misses as the horde closed in around me and last-minute saves as I reached a minigun just in time and quickly turned to mow down the horde. You were rewarded for learning the zombie's patterns, both in how they moved and where the next group would teleport in at, but it never took away the need to be aware of where you were and what you would do next. Age of Zombies was a great game and I highly recommend it for someone looking for pure zombie shooting action.
