Review: Zombie Ball (iPhone)

iPhone/Reviews/Zombie Ball

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m a little over zombies. Every game these days seems to throw in a zombie mode, and in many cases, it’s unnecessary. Whilst I’m sure zombie AI is easy to program (point in a single direction and shamble, shamble, shamble), its rapidly becoming…
