It's a Zombie Holiday in 'Infectonator: Christmas Edition'

by Ben Deitz on December 24, 2010 at 05:00 PM

Ah, Christmas. A time of year to come together, rejoice, and slink away from the family to drown yourself in gaming mania. Why should the holidays put a damper on our playing? If anything, this is the perfect time of year to hunker down with a mug of cocoa, a festive sweater, and our picks of great yuletide-themed games.

'Infectonator: Christmas Edition' pares the original 'Infectonator' down to its bare, horrific essentials. Like the original, your goal is to spread a zombie-causing virus amongst an expecting populace. This is done by merely clicking on a screen full of innocent bystanders, spreading infection and zombie carnage. In between Christmas-themed stages, you can spend money acquired from the dead to improve a variety of statistics, from the speed that your virus spreads to how much damage your zombies can take. The Christmas edition simplifies the game by sending you through a linear series of levels rather than letting you choose from a variety of locations, and we actually think it's all the better for it. After all, the quicker we can get to creating zombiefied mayhem, the happier we are.
