Unless you've been under a rock for the past week, you may not know today's the official start of the zombie apocalypse. Then again, if you were under a rock and now aren't, you may also be a zombie. In which case, welcome back!
But for those of us who still are un-undead these are challenging times. How, for example, do we avoid a deadly parasite that could turn us into a zombie or defend ourselves against this new hungry, middling class?
Well, we could throw a carnival , but there are more practical ways to use our gaming knowledge against them. Zombies, Run! for instance is an immersive game for the iPhone and Android that makes you really get into it by combining actual running with base defense mechanics. As Runner 5, your job is to head out into the world and find food, medicine and supplies--which you automatically do as you jog, occasionally hearing the moans of nearby zombies over your preferred playlist. Back home? You have to dole out the supplies, rebuild your infastructure and wait for the next run.
The good news? This entire weekend the game's only $1.99 only on iOS.
What else can you do to survive? Live in a zombie-proof home? Use duct tape?
No. Just run.
