Game Giveaway of the Day: Zombie Smashers X2
Posted by Derek Yu Wed, 06 Feb 2008 16:06:00 GMT
I just noticed that you’ve got about 9 hours left to download the full version of Zombie Smashers X2 (all 171 megs of it!) from Game Giveaway of the Day. This game is like River City Ransom plus zombies, and you get tattoos to upgrade your fighting abilities. Do I really need to say more? Get this now.
Okay, well I’ll add that the creator of ZSX2 is currently working on The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, for XBLA. The Dishwasher won Microsoft’s Dream-Build-Play XNA game competition a few months ago, and looks fantastic.

As usual, make sure you INSTALL the game before the time limit runs out. Just downloading the zip isn’t enough.
Don’t forget the awesome ska/punk soundtrack. I got the game a while back for $20 and it was definitely worth it.
I played it last time it was offered. Fun.
This…
Is the greatest day of my entire LIFE.
It might play like River City Ransom, but does it have the horrible dialog?
Vinny: Is this fun yet? Biff: BARF!
What’s in the full version that’s not in the demo?
Jesus Christ! Only 24 minutes remaining. ,_,
Nnnnooooooooooooo…
Oh whatever, it’s probably not that great anyway. pout
It seems like every time that site puts up something worth playing, I miss it. Now they’ll revert to their usual schedule of Mahjong clones and generic war games until I lose interest again, then put up another gem.
You had to install it!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
way to break the layout Ryan. :)
I really want to play Dishwasher samurai and… not this.
missed it.
Best dialogue ever!
Ninja: You! You will pay for this!
Me: Nonsense!
HAHAHA! Classic!
Missed it too but ZSX is better !!!
Villager: You guys are the Zombie Smashers, right?
Hero: That’s right.
Villager: But you can also smash ninjas, right?
Hero: It’s possible.
Just wow. I’ve never really been into this kind of beat ‘em ups. I mean, playing Turtles on the SNES with a friend was great, but most other games like this I know are mostly just clones of the exact same formula. Well, apparently ZSX2 is not very different, but damn is it fun! Once you got your first tatoos (I only got Kung Fu for the quadrillion-hit-combos so far) it just gets totally mad with Zombies being punched through the air and Ninja heads flying around. Simple but great fun :D
