There are some questions that seem to dominate all others. If the world ends, what will happen and how will the end come?
If indeed an apocalypse is coming, there are many theories on what will occur. There is the idea that the world will simply explode in a ball of fire or that aliens will take over the earth and enslave the human race or kill them off. Personally, I’m hoping if the world does end, it will occur in a zombie apocalypse.
The Apple app “Zombie Highway” takes place in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. The player of the game is placed as the driver of a black SUV has the task of driving down a deserted zombie infested stretch of road. The goal is to fight past the zombies by either smashing them into wrecked cars scattered across the road, shoot them with a variety of weapons ranging from an average pistol to an automatic rifle, or to simply run them down with the car.
As you progress further down the highway you can earn new weapons that you can use to kill even more zombies and survive. This aspect of the game keeps users playing. The idea that you can improve your circumstances by earning new weaponry keeps players from getting bored of the game. The graphics are nothing spectacular and considering it is only an iPod app, it is a simple game. Nonetheless, it is still a very fun game to play. At a cost of only $.99 it is definitely worth playing.
