Show me anything zombie related and I’m 100 percent sure to get it.

I’m a huge zombie fan and this obsession with the undead extends to the games that I will play. That’s the reason why I got so excited when I found out about Zombie Apocalypse. This awesome shooter will pit you and up to four players against a horde of zombies. You won’t have a go with the zombies without any weapons though. You will se weapons like flame throwers, assault rifles, and even a grenade launcher to hack and smash those zombies. And if you run out of ammo? No worries. Your trusty chainsaw is always ready.

Zombie Apocalypse is an arcade style shooter where you will use the dual analog sticks to aim and shoot. Do you have the skills to last 55 days of brutal zombie attacks?

Zombie Apocalypse will cost 800 Microsoft points in Xbox Live Arcade.
Published by Konami Entertainment and developed by Nihilistic Software, “Zombie Apocalypse” will be available for 800 Microsoft Points everywhere except Germany, Japan or Korea and is rated M for Mature by the ESRB.

I think Eidos had a really hard task here of taking traditional jigsaw puzzles and trying to implement them into an exciting and colorful Xbox game, I suppose there’s only so much they can do with that kind of scope and the end product is rather lacking.

There are plenty of features available from changing the shape of the pieces to having thousands of pieces in a single puzzle (if you have the patience for that, I certainly don’t).  Luckily though you can save your puzzles if you are half way through and finish them off later. There are options such as turbo mode that automatically flips over the pieces for you and challenges where another player keeps moving the pieces around or flipping them back over making it a tad more difficult.

The puzzle designs and graphics that come with the game are pretty dull but one option that I thought was pretty neat was that you can snap a picture with your Xbox camera and then set that as the puzzle’s image, ok not that amazing but and interesting idea and it’s not often you see the camera integrated into games.

For those of you thinking about purchasing this game I strongly recommend that you try the demo first because not matter who hard Eidos have tried to jazz this up it’s still jigsaw puzzles.
