XNA Review: I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1 ($1)

The recently released XNA community-made game for the Xbox 360 (yeah that’s a mouthfull) I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1 has been #1 for a few weeks as the most downloaded XNA game. I kept hearing something about an awesome theme song, so I had to check it out. Little did I know that this is what appears to be a game that TJ and I made in the future and it was beamed back for me to play.

The game is just a basic twin-stick shooter (you control a character with an overhead view and can shoot in any direction) where you kill waves of zombies (and other weird things) that come at you. It a very simple game, not much to it. But the presentation is great. I saw another review describe the presentation as looking like something Adult Swim would do. You basically have a set number of lives and just get as far as you can in the game to get a high score. The game also has 4 player co-op, which every zombie game should have.

What I read about the theme song to this game is so true. It’s fantastic and is definitely something I would do myself. What is even cooler is that the background to the game goes along with the music (lights and stuff). I’m pretty curious to see if the game even ends when the song ends or if it just repeats. I just wouldn’t think it would repeat, but I may never know since the song was still going when I died.

The bottom line is that you should buy this game right now. It’s only $1. I’m actually pretty sure the demo is exactly the same as the full game, but who care? It’s $1 and you should support the developers.
