I have a very unhealthy obsession with the undead. Tell me a movie, game, book, or porno has a zombie in it, in literally any capacity, and I’m immediately excited for it. There are no exceptions to this rule. I’m also a fan of playing with friends so a game that lets me fight alongside my friends against waves of zombies as we build traps, fortify defenses and all to the backdrop of some cool rock and roll tunes had me pretty excited. Then I downloaded the game, launched it, listened to the Elvis-style tunes that immediately greeted me, and jumped right in.

The tongue-in-cheek zombie defense game Dead Block is out now and it’s quite a bit of fun. In it you can play as one of three characters, Foxy, the knife-wielding waitress, Mike, the chunky boy scout, and Jack, the brawly construction worker. You can definitely play through it alone but I suggest grabbing a few friends to share the experience with. Sadly, there’s no online co-op, but this is one of the few games that still offers four player split-screen, so that sort of makes up for it.

Like I said, the game’s out now, but I’m sure many of you are chomping at the bit to hear what I have to say about it. Don’t worry, you can expect my well-written, deeply thought provoking review of the game to go up soon. If you’re still on the fence you can totally download the trial, but if you’re a fan of old school rock and zombies that I can only describe as adorable, than you’ll probably enjoy this game.

Dead Block looks like Home Alone with zombies in it as you and some friends are trapped in a building that’s being steadily overrun by the cartoonish undead. Your only defense seems to be an unhealthy number of sandwiches, guns and the ability to set up elaborate traps throughout the building to help dispose of the oncoming horde of flesh-hungry zombies.

You and your friends can choose from a few different characters including the food friendly boyscout Mike, Jack the construction worker and Foxy the traffic warden. Dead Block takes place in the 1950′s and brings with it ten single-player levels, eight cooperative levels and a whole lot of ways to slay the unsuspecting undead. READ MORE
