We're always, and I mean always, down for some zombie action. But when the zombies are the good guys and fight aliens with their zombie-powers, we're double-super-plus down.

“The characters in Teenage Zombies have instant appeal,†said Ken Gratz, Director of Product Development at Ignition USA. “InLight’s team has come up with a uniquely humorous and satirical take on comics and retro sci-fi. You throw in a solid platformer and some truly entertaining mini-games, and you have a game that is accessible to all and downright fun to play.â€
According to its maker, the look of the game is pure 1950s comic book, with panels and dialogue boxes, where the gameplay involves side-scrolling adventures opening up to stylus mini-games, double-screen boss battles, and puzzle challenges.
Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys! for the Nintendo DS is scheduled for a worldwide release Spring ‘08.
