Online game review

More Zombies: (4 out of 5 stars)
Meet Rocco, a regular working class guy just trying to make ends meet with his New York hot dog stand. Rocco's hum drum life takes a left turn when one night when Rocco's ketchup supplier spikes the condiment with some bio hazard zombie stuff. All Rocco's customers (which is the entire city I guess), show up later hungry for Rocco's brains. Rocco is the only one left (apparently he doesn't eat his own product), and must fight his way through the city to meet a mysterious caller who promises to whisk Rocco off to safety if he makes it to the top of the Empire State Building.
More Zombies is simple and fun. You, as Rocco, must beat back the Zombies with your hot dog skewer, unlocking swords, guns, and bombs as you get more points. Conveniently, you don't lose those points when you die so once you've unlocked a weapon, its yours, even if you have to start over. The graphics are fun and gory. Lots of blood spray. I like that the zombie bodies you've killed never disappear. This makes particularly long levels get pretty crowded with zombie gore.
I love just about all things zombie (though I do not claim to be an expert), so naturally, I spent a good few hours on a recent Sunday ruining my already failing eyes in front of this game. I'll probably do it again today. My only compliant about the game is the story between levels. Its a little too goofy. At times it hardly makes sense. The ending scene is pretty lame, but it suggests there will be another installment. Horray!

Jump Cat: (3 out of 5 stars)
The name says it all. You are a cat who jumps over stuff. The music is good and its a fun little game. I don't have enough patience to play more than 5 minutes as it gets hard pretty quick.
