Parents' Guide to ZombieSmash HD

Parents need to know that ZombieSmash HD is a cartoonish, but very bloody, tower-defense style game. While the zombies in the game themselves aren't scary, players repel them by flinging them in the air and to the ground, where their bodies explode with blood, bones, and stars (which can be used to buy weapon upgrades). At the end of each level, players kill a single zombie, sending the game into slo-mo mode, giving the player an opportunity to take a picture of the dismembered zombie bouncing and email it to friends or post it to Facebook or Twitter. Despite this, it's worth noting the game leans toward comedic rather than Night of the Living Dead. Bonus weapons include a giant cinder block and flaming asteroids. Users can share high scores via the Game Center social network, but participation is optional. There is also an identical version of the game available for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
